Space Harrier II was one of the launch titles for the Sega Genesis. It is a third-person shooter where you control a guy wearing a red jumpsuit. He also has a futuristic vacuum cleaner. It is a little weird, but it can be a lot of fun. This game does a better job of showingContinue reading “Space Harrier II: Better than Altered Beast”

Golden Axe II is Better than the First Game
Golden Axe II is one of my favorite beat’em ups on the Sega Genesis. It is an improvement over the first console game, which is what you should expect. They didn’t completely reinvent the wheel, but Sega did make a few improvements. This game is a sequel to the console game, but not the firstContinue reading “Golden Axe II is Better than the First Game”
Last Battle: A Disappointing Fist of the North Star Adaptation
Last Battle is one of the stranger games that I’ve played in the last few years. It is an atrocious localization of Fist of the North Star. This is a side-scrolling beat’em up, but it also feels like an adventure game. I had no idea this game existed until the 2010s. It wasn’t a gameContinue reading “Last Battle: A Disappointing Fist of the North Star Adaptation”
Exploring Altered Beast: A Retro Sega Classic
Altered Beat is a Greek and Roman mythologically themed beat’em up. Sega originally released the game in the arcades, and then used it as a pack-in for the Genesis. It was used as a way to show off what the console was capable of. While it did a decent job of this, it didn’t necessarilyContinue reading “Exploring Altered Beast: A Retro Sega Classic”
Which is better? Phantasy Star II vs Sweet Home
Phantasy Star II and Sweet Home are very different games. While they’re both turn-based RPGs, there are major differences between them. They’re both good games in their own way. Comparing anything to Sweet Home is a little difficult. It is a hybrid of an RPG and a survival horror game. There is some overlap betweenContinue reading “Which is better?

Golden Axe: Revisiting a Classic Sega Beat’em Up
Golden Axe is one of Sega’s classic arcade games. It started in the arcades, like many other games from the 1980s. Sega eventually turned it into a series of beat’em ups and then made several spin-offs. They took this series into different genres, which is pretty cool. I’ve only played the beat’em ups, and I’mContinue reading “Golden Axe: Revisiting a Classic Sega Beat’em Up”
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”
Which is better? Phantasy Star II vs III
Phantasy Star II and III are both good RPGs. Both games have great stories, cool settings, and great graphics. You can tell that the games were made by different development teams. While these games are in the same series, they are quite different. You can tell that there were several improvements made from game toContinue reading “Which is better? Phantasy Star II vs III”
Which is Better? Phantasy Star I vs III
There were a lot of changes made to the Phantasy Star games over the course of the series. Phantasy Star III seemed to go back to how things were done in the first game. When I revisited both games, I saw quite a few similarities. Both games are more science fantasy than science fiction. ItContinue reading “Which is Better? Phantasy Star I vs III”
