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”

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”
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”
Review of Toxic Crusaders on the Sega Genesis
I learned about the Toxic Crusaders games from AVGN. That greatly impacted how I viewed this game when I first started playing. Instead of finding a terrible game, I found an enjoyable Beat’em Up with a few Shoot’em Up sections. This game is based on the cartoon, which was how I first learned about theContinue reading “Review of Toxic Crusaders on the Sega Genesis”
WWF RAW on the Genesis Looks and Plays Great
WWF RAW on the Sega Genesis is a great-looking game. It still has that annoying tug-of-war control scheme that devolves into button mashing. Thankfully, this is the last time I have to discuss the controls. There is a lot to do in this game. You have plenty of game modes to keep you busy, andContinue reading “WWF RAW on the Genesis Looks and Plays Great”
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”
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”
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”
Strange, Quirky, and Awesome! ToeJam & Earl
ToeJam and Earl is an adventure game focused on exploration and avoidance. It was very different from the other games I had played in the early 90s, and it was a ton of fun to play with my friends. This is one of the games that made me want a Sega Genesis. The two alienContinue reading “Strange, Quirky, and Awesome! ToeJam & Earl”
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”
