Millennium’s famous fish hero, James Pond, had a series of popular games across computers and the Genesis. Rumor has it that another Pond game is in the works, but before loading your gun and packing your license to kill, why not check out our full review of the game that started it all. James Pond: Underwater Agent is a neat little platformer that will make you think as much as it will make you chuckle.
Steven Spielberg’s Hook still draws mixed reaction from movie goers. The same goes for the game renditions, which were released on a ton of consoles. Most comparisons are between the Genesis and SNES versions, and while most would agree that Sega fans got the inferior of the two, that doesn’t mean that the game is unplayable or necessarily bad. In fact, it kind of grows on you. Read our full review for all the bangarang details.
Electronic Arts brought a lot of Amiga titles to the Genesis, and most of them made the transition in grand fashion. Unfortunately, not all the games were of stellar quality to begin with, and that mediocrity got ported along with the rest of the code. Zeus Software’s Risky Woods fits this description, and while it’s not a bad game, it has enough problems to keep it from being one of the better side-scrolling action titles on the Genesis. Read our full review for information.
Most people avoid licensed movie games like the law on a weekend. Acclaim’s Judge Dredd is a good example why. It tried hard to emulate the movie it’s licensed from, and it did it perfectly; both suck. Read the full review for all the sorry details.
Robocop is widely considered by many to be a classic of modern science fiction cinema. Its sequels… not so much. The difference between the original and later installments is night and day, and this contrast also applies to the various video game adaptations released over the years. Everyone loves Data East’s Robocop arcade game, but the sequels are widely reviled, no matter the platform they’re on. One need look little further than Flying Edge’s port of Robocop 3 to see just how bad movie games can be. But hey, at least it’s faithful to its source material!
