Alien Storm is a fun beat’em up. Sega initially released the game in the arcades, and later ported it to the Genesis/Mega Drive. It is a hybrid of a beat’em up and a rail shooter. I’ll be looking at the Genesis version, since that is the game I’m most familiar with. There are some similaritiesContinue reading “Alien Storm: A Classic Arcade Game from Sega”

One of the Best Boxing Sega Genesis Games
Evander Holyfield’s Boxing is one of my favorite Sega Genesis games. This is one of the games I played with my friends back in the 1990s. My friend Joey rented it, if my memory is correct, and I think my friend Eric also rented it. It left an impression on me that I picked itContinue reading “One of the Best Boxing Sega Genesis Games”
One of Sega’s Unfortunate Missteps
James “Buster” Douglas Knockout Boxing is one of the games I bought a long time ago, and I never really played it. I made sure it worked and put it on a shelf for later. When I started making YouTube videos, this was one of the first games I played. I don’t remember what IContinue reading “One of Sega’s Unfortunate Missteps”
Dick Tracy on the Genesis, Better than the NES Game
Most people know about the Dick Tracy game on the NES. It was one of the AVGN episodes, and quite a few people my age know about it. I remember playing it with my friends back in the early 1990s, and then playing it again in the early 2000s. What I didn’t know about wasContinue reading “Dick Tracy on the Genesis, Better than the NES Game”
That Time Sega Turned Puyo Puyo into a Sonic Game
This is a reskin of Puyo Puyo from Compile. It uses characters from one of the Sonic the Hedgehog cartoons, which was released by Sega as a stopgap between other Sonic games, much like Sonic Spinball. This isn’t the first time Sega has worked with Compile, and they will eventually buy the rights to theContinue reading “That Time Sega Turned Puyo Puyo into a Sonic Game”
Best Beat’em Ups on the Sega Genesis
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”
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”
Saturday Night Slam Masters: The Best Arcade Wrestling Game
I like the SNES version of this game more than this one. They have the same basic arcade-style gameplay, but the SNES version is more fun. This is still a great version of the game. Saturday Night Slam Masters is an easy game to play. The game has little depth, but the over-the-top characters andContinue reading “Saturday Night Slam Masters: The Best Arcade Wrestling Game”
The Sega Version of WrestleMania: The Arcade Game Looks Great
This is the second version of WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game I’ve played. It has several advantages over the SNES version, but I have the same problems with it as I did with that game. Playing arcade games now can be a little rough, especially when there wasn’t anything added to the console port. IfContinue reading “The Sega Version of WrestleMania: The Arcade Game Looks Great”
Sega’s Forgotten Games, Before NFL 2K There Was Sports Talk
Several retro franchises have been abandoned or have morphed into other franchises over the years. Sports games have had this happen more often than other genres of games. In this case, I would like to look at a forgotten football series. Sega’s Joe Montana/NFL Football games. If you told me a few years ago thatContinue reading “Sega’s Forgotten Games, Before NFL 2K There Was Sports Talk”
