Super Smash TV: A Great Arcade Port for the Genesis

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”

NBA Jam on the Genesis is still Great

NBA Jam was one of the first video games that I can remember seeing a commercial for. It looked really cool, and my friends and I were very excited for it. My friends Joey and Eric got the game for the Sega Genesis, which is how I played it. I keep getting this date wrong,Continue reading “NBA Jam on the Genesis is still Great”

Gauntlet IV is a Great Sega Exclusive

Gauntlet IV is a Sega Genesis exclusive and does a little more than just remixing the first game. It does that, but there are more game modes than a standard arcade experience. It would be nice if this game were more accessible, especially since the other games in the series were on a bunch ofContinue reading “Gauntlet IV is a Great Sega Exclusive”

Phantasy Star IV: The Best RPG on the Genesis

Phantasy Star IV is one of my favorite retro RPGs. I like it more than most of the games on the SNES, NES, PS1, and PS2. There isn’t too much that comes close to it. This is a game that I also have a lot of memories of playing with my friends back in theContinue reading “Phantasy Star IV: The Best RPG on the Genesis”

A Great Version of a Classic Game |Monopoly

It is really cold out here in Michigan, so I decided to fire up my Genesis and play Monopoly. I normally like board games, especially video game versions of them. I have a few variations of Monopoly, but I decided to give this one a try. This is one of the classic games, and itContinue reading “A Great Version of a Classic Game |Monopoly”

The Best Games on the Genesis (2026 Update)

A few weeks ago, I looked at the best SNES games that I’ve played so far. I’ve also looked at the NES games that I’ve played. Now, I want to look at the Sega Genesis games that I’ve played and make a list of those. I don’t think I’ve played as many games for thisContinue reading “The Best Games on the Genesis (2026 Update)”

Mutant League Football on the Genesis is Great!

Mutant Football League is a Sega Genesis/Mega Drive exclusive and is a fantastic arcade football game. This game has a wild story, which isn’t something you normally see in a sports game. The developers explained why all these creatures have gathered together to play American football. This game was released in 1993, and a yearContinue reading “Mutant League Football on the Genesis is Great!”

Space Harrier II: Better than Altered Beast

Space Harrier II was one of the launch titles for the Sega Genesis. It is a third-person shooter where you control a guy wearing a red jumpsuit. He also has a futuristic vacuum cleaner. It is a little weird, but it can be a lot of fun. This game does a better job of showingContinue reading “Space Harrier II: Better than Altered Beast”

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”

Exploring Altered Beast: A Retro Sega Classic

Altered Beat is a Greek and Roman mythologically themed beat’em up. Sega originally released the game in the arcades, and then used it as a pack-in for the Genesis. It was used as a way to show off what the console was capable of. While it did a decent job of this, it didn’t necessarilyContinue reading “Exploring Altered Beast: A Retro Sega Classic”
