Sega did an excellent job bringing the arcade experience to their home consoles. This was their strategy to be successful in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. They made some spectacular arcade games, which created the foundation for their library. There are a ton of spectacular beat’em ups on the Sega Genesis. Sega made many, butContinue reading “Best Beat’em Ups on the Sega Genesis”

A Review of Cyborg Justice on the Sega Genesis
Cyborg Justice is a game that I don’t hear about. I didn’t play it until the late 2010s when I started revisiting some of the games I collected over the years. It is one of those games I bought; I made sure it worked and then set it on a shelf. Playing it for thisContinue reading “A Review of Cyborg Justice on the Sega Genesis”
TMNT HyperStone Heist, The Best Beat’em Up on the Genesis
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is an iconic franchise. I remember it most for the movies, the 80s/90s cartoon show, and video games. The two that stand out to me are the first NES and arcade games. TMNT: The Hyperstone Heist was new to me. I thought the only game on the Genesis was theContinue reading “TMNT HyperStone Heist, The Best Beat’em Up on the Genesis”
Review of Captain America and the Avengers Beat’em Up
Super Heroes and Beat’em Up games go well together. Playing as your favorite comic book character and punching bad guys in the face is always fun. In this game, it is robots, but they still have faces, so it counts. Captain America and the Avengers is a Beat’em Up game where you play as oneContinue reading “Review of Captain America and the Avengers Beat’em Up”
Review of Toxic Crusaders on the Sega Genesis
I learned about the Toxic Crusaders games from AVGN. That greatly impacted how I viewed this game when I first started playing. Instead of finding a terrible game, I found an enjoyable Beat’em Up with a few Shoot’em Up sections. This game is based on the cartoon, which was how I first learned about theContinue reading “Review of Toxic Crusaders on the Sega Genesis”
A Terrible Game | The Simpsons Wrestling on the PS1
As a property, the Simpsons doesn’t have a good track record for video games. Developers didn’t seem to know how to translate the cartoon into a video game. The only game I can remember as good was the arcade game. The Simpsons Wrestling wasn’t a bad idea. The series has a ton of characters, andContinue reading “A Terrible Game | The Simpsons Wrestling on the PS1”
Revisiting Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness A Terrific Sequel
Warcraft II: The Tides of Darkness is the game I remember the most from the series. It is a vast improvement on the first game in nearly every area. This is also where many of the races from World of Warcraft would appear. This is a game that I associate with winter. Specifically with ChristmasContinue reading “Revisiting Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness A Terrific Sequel”
Revisiting My Favorite RPG, Ogre Battle on the SNES
Ogre Battle is my favorite SNES game. It has a unique gameplay style and can be a ton of fun to play. It is a fascinating RPG in a story that we’ll unfortunately never see the ending of. We’re left to speculate on how it all started and how it will end. It can beContinue reading “Revisiting My Favorite RPG, Ogre Battle on the SNES”
Tiger-Heli an Average Shoot’em Up on the NES
Tiger Heli is an arcade shooter. This is one of the games that I remember renting. My brother picked it out. I think that he thought it said Tiger Hell, but I’m not sure. He always picked out the games when we were little, and I doubt he remembers why he chose what he did.Continue reading “Tiger-Heli an Average Shoot’em Up on the NES”
Journey Escape to Frankenstein: The Unfinished Tale of Data Age
Data Age is an interesting company, not because of the owner, not because of the developers, but because they just disappeared. The company released eight games and had several in the prototype stage. Like many companies from this time, there is very little information about it. However, Data Age is a bit different. It doesn’tContinue reading “Journey Escape to Frankenstein: The Unfinished Tale of Data Age”
