Let’s take a look at Super Thunder Blade. This is one of the launch titles for the Sega Genesis, and it is one of the weaker ones. It isn’t too different from Space Harrier II in terms of gameplay. It is an arcade port, and not a very good one. This game would’ve been aContinue reading “Super Thunder Blade on the Sega Genesis”

Golden Axe II is Better than the First Game
Golden Axe II is one of my favorite beat’em ups on the Sega Genesis. It is an improvement over the first console game, which is what you should expect. They didn’t completely reinvent the wheel, but Sega did make a few improvements. This game is a sequel to the console game, but not the firstContinue reading “Golden Axe II is Better than the First Game”
Last Battle: A Disappointing Fist of the North Star Adaptation
Last Battle is one of the stranger games that I’ve played in the last few years. It is an atrocious localization of Fist of the North Star. This is a side-scrolling beat’em up, but it also feels like an adventure game. I had no idea this game existed until the 2010s. It wasn’t a gameContinue reading “Last Battle: A Disappointing Fist of the North Star Adaptation”
Golden Axe: Revisiting a Classic Sega Beat’em Up
Golden Axe is one of Sega’s classic arcade games. It started in the arcades, like many other games from the 1980s. Sega eventually turned it into a series of beat’em ups and then made several spin-offs. They took this series into different genres, which is pretty cool. I’ve only played the beat’em ups, and I’mContinue reading “Golden Axe: Revisiting a Classic Sega Beat’em Up”
Shove It! on the Genesis is an Easy Puzzle Game
Shove it! is a puzzle game for the Sega Genesis. It was released in 1990 and is part of the Sokoban series. What you do in this game is move boxes around a warehouse to get them into special spots on the floor. It is a simple puzzle game, but it can be a littleContinue reading “Shove It! on the Genesis is an Easy Puzzle Game”
The Great Waldo Search: A Better Game, Still Bad
The Great Waldo Search is the third book in the series, and it was the basis for the second video game. This time, THQ released the game on the Genesis and SNES, which means it should look much better than the NES game. It would’ve been nice if the developer had tried something different. ItContinue reading “The Great Waldo Search: A Better Game, Still Bad”
Phantasy Star II is One of the Best RPGs
Phantasy Star II is one of the best RPGs on the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive. It took me a while to really get into this game because I didn’t know what to do when I first played it. I played this series out of order, starting with the fourth game and eventually playing the second andContinue reading “Phantasy Star II is One of the Best RPGs”
Dynamite Cop is an Amazing Beat’em Up for the Dreamcast
Dynamite Cop is very similar to other 3D beat’em ups. It reminds me of the Die Hard arcade game, which was awesome! This game is just as good and leans toward humor a bit more than other beat’em ups. You fight groups of ridiculous characters that only get more strange and ridiculous as you go.Continue reading “Dynamite Cop is an Amazing Beat’em Up for the Dreamcast”
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”
