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.

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.

Warsong, A Flawed and Extremely Frustrating Game

Warsong is a Tactical RPG for the Sega Genesis. It was originally released as Langrisser: The Descendants of Light.
