The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
The Ecco the Dolphin series is one that many people love and enjoy, given its intriguing gameplay and incredible atmosphere. The games showed their potential on the Sega CD, adding stunning soundtracks and video sequences. Tides of Time was a great example of the power of CD being used to make a great game even better.
Lucasfilm’s franchises seemed to get their fair share of horrible games, and the Man in the Hat is no exception. This time, all the stops are pulled, as it’s Indy’s youth that’s plundered. Horrible control and bad level design are to blame for souring what was a really good television series.
Just because the Cold War has ended doesn’t mean we still can’t defend U.S. interests through the barrel of a gun! Well, we can in spirit, anyway. Absolute Entertainment’s first-person action title for the Sega CD tires to continue the fight with some mission-based combat, but it falls short in some key areas. Still, it might be worth checking out for those looking for a new disc to spin in their machines.
What could have been an excellent port of a good action/adventure title turned out to be the best example for Sega to lock out unlicensed games. Onslaught was the only Accolade game that didn’t work with a TMSS-equipped Genesis, and it’s for good reason. Let’s just say that the console seems to know better with this one…
Licensed games are usually horrible, but sometimes a company finds a winning formula that actually does justice to the license it uses. A good example of this is Stargate,which is actually a great action romp that deserves more attention, despite the licensed game curse and the Acclaim logo on the cover.
