The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
The early ’90s saw a flurry of console developers hopping on the 3D bandwagon. As games like Electronic Arts’ Block Out demonstrate, sometimes adding an extra dimension isn’t a good idea. Read our full review and do yourself a favor, stick with Tetris.
Normally, gamers wouldn’t want to bear the burden of causing hundreds of tiny beings plummeting to their deaths due to negligence. Luckily, Sunsoft’s Lemmings allows for guilt-free gameplay. Based on the computer classic, the Genesis version offers a solid rendition that’s sure to keep the little blue and green fellows walking blindly into oblivion for quite some time.
Damn, is the Simpsons still on the air? The fact that we’ve reviewed games in the series that originated on the NES means that this series has some serious legs or that it’s time to give up the ghost. There were quite a few games released in the series, including Krusty’s Super Funhouse, an odd little puzzler that had the famous clown ridding his fun house of a rat infestation. The entire Simpsons gang is along for the ride, and the gameplay is actually quite fun.
Taito has a long history of arcade hits, and the company ported many of them to the Genesis. In addition to games like Saint Sword and Cadash, gamers received an excellent port of Volfied, also known as Ultimate Qix. Challenging and highly addictive, this puzzle/action hybrid offered excellent gameplay wrapped up in some great presentation – a yummy package all around.
Like puzzle games? Think you’ve played them all? Well, I’ll bet you haven’t tried out this little puzzler from C&E Inc. (makers of Beggar Prince). Originating in Taiwan and never officially released elsewhere, Magic Bubble is a fun game that’s worth tracking down for the small amount it commands on eBay. Just in case you’re still on the fence, we’ve got a full review to help you decide.
