WWF Royal Rumble: Hamstrung by a Bad Control Scheme

WWF Royal Rumble on the Sega Genesis looks good. The gameplay is still repetitive, and I don’t like the control scheme. The control scheme doesn’t ruin the game, but it is annoying. The bright spot in this game is the graphics. It is a good-looking game, even if it has flaws. This game looks closeContinue reading “WWF Royal Rumble: Hamstrung by a Bad Control Scheme”

If you told me a few years ago thatContinue reading “Sega’s Forgotten Games, Before NFL 2K There Was Sports Talk”

Shining Force: The Start of a Great Series

Shining Force is one of the first Tactical Role-Playing Games (RPG) on a console. As far as I can tell, there were a number of them on various computers.

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.
