The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Nothing’s better than piloting a big, bad mech, especially since it means that you get to blow things up without mercy. Dreamworks’ Target Earth was one of the first Genesis games to bring the experience home in such style, and spawned a string of sequels.
Everyone likes Ninjas; it’s a fact that not even the 1980s could erase. Genesis owners got treated to a ninja trilogy rivaled only by perhaps Tecmo’s Ryu Hayabusa on the NES. The second game in Sega’s famous series, Shadow Dancer, was altered from its arcade release but still played and looked great on our beloved 16-bit box.
Dark Castle is perhaps the one game where rejection is near-unanimous. Horrible gameplay and design combine to produce one of the few titles ever awarded the lowest possible score we can give.
During the 16-bit era, it was normal practice for Sega to release home versions of their arcade hits that were almost different games altogether. This was seen in Moonwalker and Shadow Dancer. Another game to receive the treatment was ESWAT: City under Siege.
A great title that makes good use of its license, X-Men 2: Clone Wars is proof that not all licensed games have to suck. Read the review and see why.
