This was an interesting trip through the Sega Genesis library. I was expecting a few more wrestling games, but only five were released in North America. A few other arcade fighting games exist, but I wouldn’t count them as wrestling games. My original plan was to look at two additional games. I was going toContinue reading “Sega Genesis Wrestling Games Ranked From Worst to Best”

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”
WWF Super WrestleMania Looks Worse on the Genesis
I’m going to play these games in order, unlike what I did with the SNES trilogy of games. WWF Super WrestleMania doesn’t look as good on the Genesis as it does on the SNES, and it uses the same button-mashing control scheme. I wouldn’t say that I like this game that much. I had aContinue reading “WWF Super WrestleMania Looks Worse on the Genesis”
Diet LJN: The Odd Story of Flying Edge
Most collectors and video game historians know about LJN. They started as a toy manufacturer and had the rights to several licenses. Eventually, they got into video games and were purchased by Acclaim. Acclaim used LJN as a way to publish more games on the NES. This was when Nintendo had a very restrictive publishingContinue reading “Diet LJN: The Odd Story of Flying Edge”
Zombie Revenge: A House of the Dead Beat’em Up
Sega had a strategy for every console release. This strategy revolved around porting their arcade games to a new home console, which would help them build a library of arcade hits to try and drive people to buy the new console. They wanted to bring the arcade experience into the home. This worked for someContinue reading “Zombie Revenge: A House of the Dead Beat’em Up”
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”
Not the Best, A Review of Growl on the Genesis
Have you ever wanted to kill poachers? Have you ever wanted to kill poachers while fighting alongside animals? Well, this is your chance! Growl is a beat’em up from Taito. There was not a port on the SNES, which made the Genesis/Mega Drive port the only way to play this on the home console. ItContinue reading “Not the Best, A Review of Growl on the Genesis”
