Want to cap off your Labor Day weekend the right way? Then why not read our full review of the Sega CD hit NBA Jam? It’s got all the B-ball action you’ll need, and if you have a few friends with you, this one’s going to provide you with hours of fun. Chances are that you already own at least one version of this classic, but we wouldn’t be happy if we didn’t just review them all!
Everyone knows that the Genesis has a… generous selection of platformers. There’s literally more than you can imagine, and such a genre glut is sure to mean that some of the good ones are going to get overlooked. Take TinHead, for instance. Solid gameplay, great presentation, and a likeable character all make for a fun game, but most people haven’t played it. Have you?
In a perfect world, the Amiga and Genesis would have gotten married and had some great-looking 16-bit kids. 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.
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. A year later, a version came out for the Sega CD/32X combo, it barely caused a stir. That was probably because by then, the FMV fad had run its course. Even so, this improved edition boasts clearer video and a much cleaner interface. It’s still the same game though, and as with most FMV titles, you either love it or hate it. Read the full review and see if this one’s worth giving a play through.
Taz’s first Genesis adventure still meets mixed reactions wherever you go. Some people like it, and others hate it with a passion. Regardless of which is the majority, Sega obviously thought it sold well enough to give the sequel a green light. This time around, the famous Looney Toon found himself on Mars, and his adventure pitted him against an entire cast of famous Warner Bros. characters. Did it live up to its predecessor, and more importantly, should you track down a copy?
