The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
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.
Let’s face it: everybody likes dinosaurs. After all, lots of them are big, fast, and vicious, and we humans have an innate fascination with any form of life that can so easily make mincemeat out of us. Steven Spielberg took advantage of our love affair with the beasts through his grand sci-fi flick, Jurassic Park; now the Genesis game, which is really only loosely based on the movie, tries its luck.
