Creative Genesis: Video Game DJ

Being the huge fan of video games that we are, it is no surprise that we’re fans of the Genesis. The console has a very special place in our hearts, and titles such as Phantasy Star IV, Sonic The Hedgehog (parts I and II), and Landstalker will remain favorites forever. That said, contributor Felipe Fortes was tossing around the idea of making a special DJ set comprised only of video game music and share his passion towards game music with his friends and everyone who just wants to have a terrific time at a night club.

Clue

Some board games translate well to video game format, such as Clue. Being able to play such a classic without having spread out all those tiny pieces and board over a table is a great thing, and the multi-player fun has been maintained intact. Parker Brothers has a long history of converting its traditional line up to digital format, and this is one of their better efforts.

International Superstar Soccer Deluxe

Whenever you talk soccer games on the Genesis, Electronic Arts’ FIFA series is always mentioned. Some consider it to be the best representative of the genre on the console, but there are many dissenting opinions, and fans often point to Konami’s stellar International Superstar Soccer Deluxe as a contender. Does it live up to the hype? Why not read our full review and see for yourself?

America’s Least Wanted Vol. 02: The Case Against the Genesis

Consider if you will, the fact that every console has it’s fair share of crappy games. Those that are so bad that they are the subject of pity and mocking, moreso than scorn. Experienced Sega gamers know which ones to avoid, but what of those unfortunate souls who haplessly stumble into them? Who is held accountable? What if the competition of the era decided to call Sega out on it’s use of the Seal of Quality? Who would they place such a massive responsibility on? Why, attorney extraordinaire Phoenix Wright, that’s who! Only Harvey Birdman is more famous, and if there’s anyone who’s able to get to the bottom of this barrel of turds, it is he! We were lucky enough to get a glance at his pre-trial notes, so read the second installment of our America’s Least Wanted series before he finds out! OBJECTION!

Might & Magic: Gates to Another World

When most people think of RPGs, they don’t think of the Genesis. That’s unfortunate, as the console boasts a great library of quality titles (almost as many as it has shmups!). When you’re done with the Phantasy Stars and Shining titles, there’s another game awaiting your attention. Nowhere near as pretty or manageable as those games but boasting a quest almost three times the size, Might & Magic: Gates to Another World is the one Genesis RPG that will make you humble. Trust us, any game with a 169-page instruction manual is one that doesn’t pull its punches.
