There was definitely something there, as games from the popular computer frequently appeared on Sega’s console. Lots of great titles were made available to Genny owners, including the great Bubba ‘N Stix. A great platformer that made players use their minds as much as their hands, it was great fun all around that more people need to play.

Night Trap (32X)

When Digital Pictures released Night Trap upon an unsuspecting populace back in 1993, it set off a firestorm of controversy that got as far as the U.S. Senate.
