The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Like big trucks? Enjoy the thrill of massive machines slamming through mud and dirt in a frenzied competition to the finish line? Then look elsewhere, as Super Off-Road isn’t the game for you.

So your Menacer is collecting dust, and you’re wondering why the heck you got one in the first place. Though unlikely, it’s possible that you let Terminator 2: The Arcade Game slip under your radar. A pretty decent conversion of the arcade hit, it’s actually quite playable with Sega’s unwieldy weapon of light, and it’s quite inexpensive nowadays.
A slow week means it’s time to go retro! The gems from the golden age of arcade gaming are indeed timeless, and perhaps the only criteria that’s appropriate to use when reviewing Williams Arcade’s Greatest Hits is how well they adapt to the Genesis control scheme.
When the working day is done, it’s time to crack some heads! In the ring of course, and there are fewer ways to go about it than with Capcom’s Saturday Night Slam Masters. A big arcade brawler squeezed onto a Genesis cart, it has more than enough action to keep you playing.

Did gamers miss out on something special? Should they have taken the plunge just to play this arcade port? Why not read our full review and find out?
