Super Smash TV isn’t a sequel to Midway’s arcade game or the NES game. It was released in 1992 and is a graphical improvement over the NES version. I’ll be looking at the Genesis version of the game for this review. Acclaim used Flying Edge to publish this game. It is a little odd, butContinue reading “Super Smash TV: A Great Arcade Port for the Genesis”

Acclaim: An Odd Publishing Company
Acclaim is one of those companies that has an odd history. Many of its terrible games were hidden under the LJN and Flying Edge labels, and it had a long relationship with Midway and WWF/WWE. They did publish some great games, especially the ports of Midway’s arcade games. This is one of the companies thatContinue reading “Acclaim: An Odd Publishing Company”
Revisiting One of the Worst Video Game Publishers, LJN
Most people who grew up with the NES and SNES have memories of playing LJN games. My friends and I rented quite a few of their games in the 1990s, and one of my friends owned at least two LJN games. In the 2000s, the perception of LJN and the games they published was shapedContinue reading “Revisiting One of the Worst Video Game Publishers, LJN”
WWF RAW on the Genesis Looks and Plays Great
WWF RAW on the Sega Genesis is a great-looking game. It still has that annoying tug-of-war control scheme that devolves into button mashing.

You have plenty of game modes to keep you busy, andContinue reading “WWF RAW on the Genesis Looks and Plays Great”
WWF Royal Rumble: Hamstrung by a Bad Control Scheme

The bright spot in this game is the graphics. It is a good-looking game, even if it has flaws. This game looks closeContinue reading “WWF Royal Rumble: Hamstrung by a Bad Control Scheme”
WWF Super WrestleMania Looks Worse on the Genesis
I’m going to play these games in order, unlike what I did with the SNES trilogy of games. WWF Super WrestleMania doesn’t look as good on the Genesis as it does on the SNES, and it uses the same button-mashing control scheme. I wouldn’t say that I like this game that much. I had aContinue reading “WWF Super WrestleMania Looks Worse on the Genesis”
Diet LJN: The Odd Story of Flying Edge
Most collectors and video game historians know about LJN. They started as a toy manufacturer and had the rights to several licenses. Eventually, they got into video games and were purchased by Acclaim. Acclaim used LJN as a way to publish more games on the NES. This was when Nintendo had a very restrictive publishingContinue reading “Diet LJN: The Odd Story of Flying Edge”
