DOWN
AND DIRTY REVIEWS: SEGA GENESIS
Over a hundred games here!
Sega has really out done themselves with the Genesis.
The scores are out of 100.
Score / Name
92
6 PAK (Sega, 1996)
This great game cart comes with Sonic the Hedgehog
(excellent!), Revenge of Shinobi (awesome!), Streets of Rage (very cool!), Golden
Axe (not bad), Super Hang on (a little dated), and Columns (poor man's Tetris).
Mostly all great games in one solid package.
For
1 or 2players
graphics: 8
sound: 7
gameplay: 10
NEW!!
40 ACTION 52 (Active Interactive, 1991)
This
awful NES game comes to the Sega Genesis with improved graphics and sound but
the games are still really basic and very repeatitive in an extremely boring
kinda way. All 52games are no name losers!
*Rare Genesis game
For 1 or 2players
graphics: 4
sound: 4
gameplay: 3
62 ADVENTURES OF BATMAN AND ROBIN (Sega, 1995)
Here's a review! The music sucks!!
For
1 or 2players
graphics: 7
sound: 3
gameplay: 6
78 AIR BUSTER (Kaneko, 1991)
This
is just like Aero Blasters for the TurboGrafx-16 but with nicer graphics but
the music is not as good. Both are great shooters and are very recommend!
For 1 or 2players
graphics:
9
sound: 6
gameplay: 6
44 AIR DIVER
67 ALEX KIDD IN THE ENCHANTED CASTLE (Sega,
1990)
The last Alex Kidd game ever release on a gaming console
is this good looking game for the Genesis. Similar to Alex Kidd in Miracle World
for the Sega Master System, also a good and challenging action game.
For 1player only
graphics:
7
sound: 6
gameplay: 7
71 ALADDIN (Sega/Interplay, 1993)
Great graphics but it is just a standard platformer once it's taking away.
The sword weapon is almost useless.
For 1player only
graphics: 8
sound: 7
gameplay: 5
54 ALTERED BEAST (Sega,
1988)
The original pack in game for the Sega Genesis.
Two dead greek warriors must save Zues daughter by transforming into different
animals like a wolf, dragon and more. A average and short action title that's
a 2meg game.
For
1 or 2players
graphics: 6
sound: 5
gameplay: 7
69 ANIMANIACS (Konami, 1994)
26 ARCADE CLASSICS (Sega, 1987)
This one gamepak has Missile Command, Centipede, and Pong on it. Each
one is poorly made with flickers and slowdown............... isn't this a 16-bit
system?? Stay away from this crappy cart!
For
1 or 2players
graphics: 2
sound: 2
gameplay: 4
71 ARCADE'S GREATEST HITS: WILLIAMS (Midway,
1995)
These arcade classics are way better then Sega's try at it. This 5in1 cart
has Defender (cool!), Defender II (better), Joust (challenging), Robotron 2084
(crazy!), and Sinistar (great voice samples!). All these retro games are on
this one cartridge.
For
1 or 2players

70 MORTAL KOMBAT (Arena/Williams, 1993)

80 SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2 (Sega,
October 1992)
I wasn't too crazy about this 8meg sequel because it was just too straightforward.
I think the game lacked puzzles or variety mostly, although I do like the new
3D bonus levels and the 2player battle modes.

90 SONIC 3 (Sega, Febuary

A great 16meg game by itself, but even better with Sonic & Knuckles
added on to it.

90 SONIC & KNUCKLES (Sega,

One of the few games that's compatible with other games, a very cool idea
by Sega. Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 work on it.

50 SONIC SPINBALL (Sega, 1993)

68 SPACE INVADERS '91 (Taito, 1991)
A hard to find upgrade on the original 1980's classic. With

73 SPLATTERHOUSE 2 (Namco, 1992)
The
8meg bloody sequel to the cool Turbografx-16
horror game features more weapons and all new gruelsome creatures that makes
Resident Evil look like a cake walk. Can Rick revive is his lost love by returning
to the new Splatter House? Some really cool graphics on some levels like the
screaming ghost on the walls of level 2 but the game is still too short like
the first one.

68 SPLATTERHOUSE 3 (Namco, 1993)
This huge
16meg underrated series contiunes the legacy of rotting fresh and blood stained
walls. The game plays like a Final Fight clone but don't worry it's still a
good game.

SECOND OPINION!!
I loved that game! I know the graphics and sound weren't top notch, but
if you've ever played the PC version you will know that they are a huge improvment
over that. It is a really huge game with lots of exploring to do, and interacting
with the aliens was a blast for me. I love the graphics when exploring a planet,
all kinds of hazards like tornados, earthquakes, hurricanes, lightning, and
of course hostile aliens.

40 STEEL TALONS (Tengen/Atari, 1991)
52 STORM LORD (RazorSoft, 1990)
The game that looks kinda like Ghouls n' Ghost but the statues are of semi-nude

here.

69 STREET FIGHTER II: Special CHAMPION EDITION
(Capcom, September 1992)
Plays similar too Street Fighter II Turbo on Super Nintendo but this version
has a extra battle mode and is 24Megs. Nice but the music and sound effects
are noticeably worse on the Genesis. Do we need another Street Fighter II anyways??

60 STREET SMART (Treco, 1990)
90 STRIDER (Sega/Capcom,
1990)
A amazing, action packed 8meg game (the first one for the Sega Genesis)
with unbelievable anime style graphics. It only has 5levels but it's way better
than any other Strider game out on any platform. A must for the Genesis.

64 SUBTERRANIA (Sega, 1993)

65 SUPER HANG ON (Sega, 1990)
70 SUPER MONACO GP (Sega, 1990)

A dam tough vertical

Even worse thing is that the ending for this game just sucks. I still like this
game for some reason, maybe it's the graphics.

are no endings for the 8fighters either. Stay far away from this insult!
