The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
The classic Berenstain Bears made two appearances in the “Sega Club” line of children’s games for the Genesis and Game Gear, and both titles are fun little romps, with the Game Gear version being the more engaging of the two. Simple to play but not as easy as one would expect from a children’s game, it’s well suited for Sega’s portable.
One of the least discusssed areas of the Genesis software library is the children’s section. The console boasts a great number of titles in this area featuring all the major characters of the era, some of which are still popular today. A few games are based on timeless characters, like the Berenstain Bears. For over forty years, the bear family has entertained children in books and on TV. Their one and only Genesis outing was suprisingly competent, and it does a decent job of holding the attention of kids over ten! While not the best platformer on the system, but it’s no stinker either.
