The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Hacks & Homebrews returns today with a look at a fighter that not only surprises, but impresses. Cyclops, Goku, Muhammad Ali (you heard me), Michael Jordan, and even Ryu all battle it out against a few Neo Geo stalwarts. This is no flickering, bug-filled hack job friends. This one actually plays and sounds better than a few released fighters on the Genesis. Read the full article to get all the details.
Ok, give us an upgrade and we expect all the good stuff from before with a few tweaks, as well as some new stuff. What we don’t expect is a game that plays worse than the original, especially when it’s on more powerful hardware. Games like Brutal: Above the Claw was why the 32X was never taken seriously. When your 16-bit version plays better and is more fun, why upgrade? Still, we have a review for those of you considering a purchase anyway. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!
Controversial, innovative, all flash and no substance: Mortal Kombat has been called it all. When the famous fighter eventually made its way to the Sega CD, fans were hoping for a true system seller that would blow every other version out of the water. Did they get it? Not…exactly.
Want more fighting games? Haven’t gotten enough of SNK’s rowdy bunch of brawlers? Then maybe you need to try Fatal Fury Special for the Sega CD… or maybe not. It’s not all it’s cracked up to be, which is downright sad. You’ve probably seen this disappointment before, but just in case we’ve got you covered with our complete write up.
It came out of the blue and gave gamers a quick reminder of what the Genesis was still capable of. Virtua Fighter 2 was truly something no one expect to see on a 16-bit console, but one question remained: how did it measure up? Sega-16 gave it some playtime and has the answers, so read our impressions for what is surely the most unexpected Genesis port ever.
