With all the love everyone has for ol’ Indy, we figured it was time to revisit the good doctor’s Genesis adventure, based on the third film. Sadly, it not only fails to live up to the movie it’s based on, but it’s enough to make you want to hang up your Fedora and whip for good.
Sometimes, a company gets too complacent with its properties, and decides to farm them out. Big mistake. The result is almost never good, as demonstrated by U.S. Gold’s horrible Journey from Darkness: Strider Returns. It took everything the original game did well and buried it up deep, deep in the Earth, and what was released was decidedly un-Strider-like.
It’s been ported to just about every platform on Earth, but it’s always just as grand. Delphine Software’s Flashback: The Quest for Identity set a new standard in just how much could fit into a cartridge, and it showed us that a great story, wrapped around excellent gameplay, was the true way to create a classic.
Are you a fan of the Olympics? Then Sega-16 has a little something to either get you in the mood or kill your interest entirely… it could go either way. In any case, read our full review of Winter Olympic Games: Lillihammer ’94 and decide for yourself.
Just another victim in the 16-bit mascot wars, Izzy lacked everything that made one so appealing in the first place. Less popular than Sonic and half as appealing as Bubsy (ouch!), poor Izzy was a poorly thought-out attempt at attracting attention to the Olympics. The thing is, he could barely attract attention to himself. Just how thoroughly mediocre was he? Read the review to find out!
