The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
It’s been a while since we reviewed a licensed game, and just when you thought we’d gotten them all, Warlock pops into our sights. Stiff, frustrating gameplay combines with brutal difficulty to produce yet another game you might remember getting for Christmas instead of Gunstar Heroes or Rocket Knight Adventures. Yeah, we hear you, and you probably won’t be surprised to know that games like this don’t get better with age.
Sonic FIFA Soccer ’95
Soccer is the world’s most popular sport, and whenever one thinks of its video game renditions, one franchise stands head and shoulders above the rest in terms of public awareness.

With solid gameplay and great presentation, it kept fans playing well into the wee hours of the morning with each new entry.
One of the most dramatic of all wrestling matches is the cage match. Two men locked inside a massive cell of steel, with victory coming to the one who can climb his way out. WFF Rage in the Cage for the Sega CD centered its theme around this classic type of match, with completely mediocre results, despite having at its disposal all the advantages the new hardware offered. It was just another example of Genesis games being ported to CD with little extra effort.
Like puzzle games? How about obscure titles never released outside of Japan? Until it made an appearance on the Sega Classics Collection, Puzzle & Action: Tant-R never ventured from the shores of its native land. Thankfully, it’s not a real problem if you don’t know the language, and it’s odd that Sega left this quirky little puzzler across the pond. Simple, fun, and full of charm, Tant-R is a game you might want to check out.
