Greetings, terror-trainees! Ickis, Krumm, and Oblina will have to prove themselves
on the Monster midterm exams if they want to call themselves real monsters! They
must work together as a team to receive a single gruesome grade on their frightful
performance. So...go out and petrify someone!
I know what you're thinking, "A game based on a Nickelodeon cartoon, not good." But
you'd be wrong, it's actually not that bad. You can switch between the monsters you
control (3 in total), and with each monster you get a different group move, giving
advantages such as high jumping and looking ahead.
There was a lot of detail put into these levels, such as broken up pieces of
stereos, televisions and God knows what, appearing anyway and everywhere.
The music is very simple, boring and repetitive. However it's very quiet compared
to most games, so I'm guessing they knew it was bad and turned down the volume for
our benefit. How nice of them!
Directions:
The main objective here is to collect an item that the teacher of your monster
academy wants you to find. However, it's really just a simple start-to-finish
platformer with a boss at the end.
There are other items other than the main goal item that you can collect, most that
you'd find at a real dump, e.g. open tin cans, broken records, discarded flowers.
When you collect these items, the number next to the fish bones will increase. This
is for how many times you get to use one of the monsters' specials (see controls
for specials). You also get the standard every game power-ups, 1-ups, and health
power-ups.
The boss battles are nothing special, just watch how they move, jump over them/run
under them, and chuck something.
There are various things to hurt you as you travel through the dump: cats, maggots,
sewer pipes, etc. You have a life gauge in the shape of a heart in the top left
corner, when that depletes you're dead and you go back to the start of the level or
an un-marked checkpoint.
To fend off enemies and bosses, you have 2 main weapons that you can use: throwing
trash, and scaring your enemies to make them run away. Scaring them is the limited
weapon and trash is unlimited, how that's possible I do not know.
There are various differences with being each monster: for example, if there is a
low ceiling of spikes, you can only pass under it safely with a short monster and
not the tall one. However, the other main difference is the special moves (I don't
know the monsters' names, so bear with me). With the tall candy cane-like monster,
you can either get your other monsters to use her as a ladder, or, if you are near
a wall, you can boost yourself up onto a ledge. The short fat one with his eyes in
his hands can throw his eyes onto another part of the level so that you can see
ahead, obviously they were trying to put some strategy into this otherwise easy
game. Lastly, the shortest one will throw you ahead if, say, there is a large gap
that you cannot jump.

D&D Warriors of the Eternal Sun is an excellent game. Unlike most of the D&D games
on the early platforms, this game was a lot of fun to play and fairly easy to
control. Round based combat with the option to move your character as well as
decide what action to take was a stroke of genius. It gave us D&D players a
flashback to playing for real. It also used the same D&D rules we are used to. The
graphics were pleasing to the eye and the sounds were wonderful. The score for this
game was one of the best I've heard. It really made you want to go out and
adventure. There were also a lot of secrets to find with great rewards like magic
items and weapons. The map isn't too big, but there is still a lot of game-play to
be had. I think you will find yourself walking the length of the map a good many
times. D&D Warriors of the Eternal Sun is a great RPG. If you like D&D, or if you
are just a fan of all RPG's, give this game a try!

Go to any one of the caves and when you get inside kill the monsters there. After

Aero the Acro-Bat is a platform game developed by Iguana Entertainment and
published by Sunsoft for the Sega Mega Drive and SNES in 1993, with a port for the
Game Boy Advance released in 2002. In 2010, the SNES version was made available on
the Wii's Virtual Console service. In the game you play as the bat Aero, who needs
to stop the mad scientist Edgar Ektor who is trying to rid the world of amusement
and fun.
The game features 4 worlds, The Circus, The Funpark, The Woods, and the Museum. All
worlds except for The Woods have 5 acts and a boss act. Most acts require the
player to accomplish a certain goal before finding the exit, such as falling
through a number of magic hoops or rescuing a captured circus performer, although a
few only require Aero to find the exit before advancing to the next act. It is
another '90's platformer trying to latch on to the popularity of Sonic or Mario.
The game was reasonably successful, and therefore saw a sequel, Aero the Acro-Bat
2.

Aladdin II
Media: Cartridge
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Platformer
Gametype: Pirate
Developer: Capcom
Publisher: Capcom
Players: 1 - 2
_________________________
Up until the movie Aladdin was released, the licensing rights for adapting Disney
characters into video games were handled separately for the Sega and the Nintendo
consoles: Sega released some games featuring Disney characters (like Castle of
Illusion, or Quackshot) but didn't adapt any movies or series. Meanwhile, Capcom
adapted exactly those series and movies for their rival Nintendo, exclusively. This
changed in 1993, when Virgin was allowed to create a game based on the movie
Aladdin, which was critically praised. Capcom, however, still held the rights to do
an adaptation on their own. So the Genesis and the Super Nintendo saw both their
own version of Disney's Aladdin, both based on the same movie but produced by
different companies. Later Disney adaptations would be handled by Virgin for both
consoles following the release of The Lion King in 1994.
So this Aladdin II is not a game based on the TV series or some sort of sequel, but
rather a retelling of the same story. Other than using the same story, however, the
two games are different in almost every regard. So, keeping above in mind, it's
quite understandable why the people responsible for porting the Super Nintendo game
to Sega's 16-bitter would opt to call the game Aladdin II. It is, in fact, the
second Aladdin game on that console. And as far as ports go, this one actually is
pretty accurate.
The game mechanics have remained the same as they did in the Super Nintendo
original: Aladdin can throw apples (which he can collect throughout the levels) to
stun enemies or dispatch smaller foes. Enemies are generally defeated by jumping on
them. Bosses can take several hits. The programmers managed to get the game
controls down pretty well, although they occasionally seem a bit sluggish. Also,
the collision detection seems to be a bit off, but it's bearable, albeit irritating
at times. However, in order to fit the game on a 16-Meg cartridge, the porters have
decided to make some changes.
The first noticeable one would be the new title screen although this has probably
just been done in order to remove all copyright notices referring to Capcom or
Nintendo. More importantly, however, is that the programmers have removed quite a
number of sprites. The snipped a few frames out a few characters animations, which
leads to some jerky movement. This becomes particularly apparent during boss
battles. The first boss hardly seems animated at all whenever he strikes with his
sword, and the last battles against Jafar require play totally different since the
attack patterns have changed (for example the moving floor has been removed out of
the very last boss battle). Some minor character sprites like one-time foes, or
background sprites like Apu, the walking animations of the magic carpet, or the
appearance of Jasmin at the end of level one have been cut entirely.
Some changes do influence the gameplay a bit, however. The password option has been
entirely cut out of the game, so you have to play through it in one sitting.
Further, the SNES version had a Scarab in most of the levels, which served as a
mid-level save point. The omission of these Scarabs means that there are no save
points either. To offset this, (and in some cases because the programmers didn't
manage to pull off a fluent change in the stages background) the porters have
decided to cut some levels into smaller stages. Also, where you originally could
find a Scarab you now get an additional heart to your life bar. Two levels, which
were very dependant on one-time only sprites, have also been cut entirely (Inside
the lamp, stage three and the magic carpet ride bonus stage). So, once you master
the somewhat jerky controls, the game becomes easier than it originally was
overall.
The port had to take big hits in the sounds and graphics departments. For all the
twenty+ levels, there are only three different background tracks in the Genesis
version, and I'm positive that I've heard at least one of those in another pirated
game (Donkey Kong '99, to be exact!). This music quite often doesn't fit the mood
of the stages. For example, a stage with a fiery cave that included fireballs and
lava ended up having soothing, slow muzak. Also, contrary to the SNES version,
there unfortunately is no multi-layered background scrolling. Last but not least,
while the porters did take the background graphics directly from the original game,
they somewhat suffered during the port, leading to some ugly artifacts and pixels

Overall, however, I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised with this port. It's

Arcade Classics is a compilation of three arcade games originally released by Atari
during the 1970s and early 1980s. The compilation was released for the Sega Mega
Drive and Sega Game Gear in 1996.
As well as providing "classic" versions of the games, there are also enhanced
"Sega" versions, which update the graphics. Sadly the games are plagued by
framerate issues, slowing down considerably when numerous objects are on screen.
Sega wanted three Atari classics converted to the Genesis with as much integrity as
possible. Therefore, the games used in the compilation were based directly off
Atari code. The Atari 7800 version of Centipede and Atari 2600 version of Missile
Command were converted from the original 6502 assembly language code to the Z80 for
the Game Gear version and then from Z80 to the 68000 for the Mega Drive. While all
the code specifically associated with sound and graphics had to be re-written, the
initial conversions were done using the developer's own 6502 to Z80 and Z80 to
68000 assembly language converters. Pong, a hard-wired console game which was
reverse engineered for the Game Gear, was initially converted from the Game Gear to
the Genesis using a Z80 to 68000 assembly language converter. The video and sound
modules were then rewritten to complete the process.

Art of Fighting, known as Ryuuko no Ken in Japan (and South Korea), is a fighting
game by SNK, originally released for the Neo Geo MVS arcade and AES home console in
1992. It was ported, among other consoles, to the Sega Mega Drive in 1994. It is
the second fighting game to be developed by SNK - a genre they would later be known
for, following Fatal Fury (which co-exists in the same fictional universe).
As with Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting took several huge hits when it was brought to
the inferior Mega Drive hardware, most notably the Neo Geo's camera, which would
zoom in on the players if they were close together. It is also considered to have
inferior graphics and sound when compared to its Neo Geo counterpart, but like all
SNK games brought to Mega Drive hardware, was still considered at a better deal (as
Neo Geo games retailed at $200 new).
No other Art of Fighting games were released for Sega consoles, however most of the
characters in Art of Fighting also appear in the The King of Fighters series, which
saw many releases on Sega consoles.

town has been able to stalemate the Romans in the surrounding areas until then, the
Romans did capture and imprison the town druid, Getafix, and their pet Dogmatix in
Rome, and the two main characters must now set off to Rome to free them.

Awesome Possum was not released outside of Japan and North America, and was heavily

_________________________
Pro Moves Soccer is a great game that just about every soccer fan should enjoy,
thanks to the simple controls and the ability to make your own team. Despite the
cheesy voices, the rest of the game puts that offside and makes it into an
otherwise great game!
The graphics are well drawn for a Genesis game, even if animation is somewhat
stiff. You see players performing sliding tackles, head shots, rainbow kicks, and
even getting taken down. Referees call players over and hold up the corresponding
card that they have been issued. You even get a close up shot of penalty kicks. If
a player goes down hard, he may need medical attention, at which the medics will
arrive on the field to treat him.
A high, scratchy male's voice calls out what goes on, such as the kickoff, offside,
fouls, cards, and penalties. Fortunately, you can turn him off. The crowd doesn't
make much noise unless there's a shot on someone's goal. The menu music is alright,
but it could be better. Even then, you'll still enjoy the game even if you must
turn the sound off.
A six button control pad is recommended, but a three button will work too, just you
need to pull off two button combos for some functions. Either way, the players move
smoothly, and you can pull off things like speed bursts, sliding tackles,
elbows/holding, rainbow kicks, headers, passes, shots, GOALS! (OK, so that last one
has to be done with some skill and luck involved!

Ayrton Senna's Super Monaco GP II or simply Super Monaco GP II is a racing game
developed and published by Sega for the Sega Mega Drive, Sega Master System and
Sega Game Gear in 1992. It is a sequel to Super Monaco GP, but this time the game
is sponsored by Ayrton Senna (who won the Monaco Grand Prix six times). Also unlike
the previous game, Super Monaco GP II was not released in arcades or for any non-
Sega console or computer.
At the time of release it was regarded as the most realistic racing experience on
home video game consoles, and the fact that it was endorsed by Ayrton Senna meant
the game was very popular. However, due to these celebrity endorsements, it is
unlikely Super Monaco GP II will be re-released without cutbacks.

_________________________
Back to the Future Part III, often simply known as Back to the Future III, is a
video game released for the Sega Mega Drive and Sega Master System. It is based on
the movie with the same name.
An error in the Mega Drive version's palette storage results in the game appearing
darker than it actually should be. On the Genesis, the bit order of palette colors
is 0000BBB0GGG0RRR0, with RRR, GGG, and BBB being the red/green/blue components of
the color and 0 being zero bits. This game, however, uses 00000BBB0GGG0RRR by
mistake; the lowest bits of the components are ignored by the hardware, resulting
in a color range (000, 001, 010, 011). Because smaller values are darker, the
colors will thus appear darker.

Barbie travels all across the United States for her vacation, visiting states such
as Wyoming and Florida. Along the way, she goes camping, throws horseshoes, plays
volleyball, rides horses and does all of the usual teenage girl stuff. Puzzles are
of the simple kind, such as arranging tent pieces or finding hidden presents.
Still, simple games can have better graphics and sound than this one does. The
backgrounds look flat, but at least they're bright. The sounds are the usual kiddy
game deal, with really... bouncy music, too.
Barbie's Vacation Adventure is a two player game with six different levels. For
each activity, you only have to press one button. It is an incredibly easy game.
Barbie's Vacation Adventure is not worth checking out if you're over the age of 10.
But, if your little sister needs something to keep her occupied, pick up Barbie's
Vacation Adventure for $5.

Barney's Hide & Seek Game is a game that was released in 1993 by Sega for the Mega
Drive/Genesis video game system. It is based on the children's television and home
video franchise known as the "Barney" franchise. The voice of Barney was recorded
by Bob West, who also performed the "Barney" role on the television show. There are
more than one hundred words and two hundred phrases spoken by Barney the Dinosaur.
Favorite things are always mentioned by name by Barney when the player helps him
discover them. Educational concepts taught in this game include counting, matching,
and problem solving. There is a self-play feature that guides the player to the
objective when he or she isn't playing. Strangely, despite being an educational
game aimed towards pre-school children, this title is not part of the Sega Club
series.

Two translations of the game exist:

* A notoriously poor (seemingly computer-generated) translation to Russian by some
Russian pirates in some unknown year under the name Final Fantasy to make it seem
connected to Square Enix's franchise (which has never been released on a Sega
system).
* A 2010 fan translation to English under the name Brave Battle Saga: Legend of the
Magic Warrior by djinn and SteveMartin.
Humans and daemons develop civilization independently using technology and magic,
respectively. Technology comes to triumph over magic, and the world is destroyed in
an technological accident. Survivors continued without technology for a thousand
years, until the old technology was discovered and returned to use.
Furthermore, the world is divided into four kingdoms, each representing one of the
four natural forces and with four temples: Cruz, whose Moon Temple controls water,
Galien, whose Sun Temple controls the earth, Zak, whose Star Temple controls
technology, and Lear, whose Wind Temple controls wind.
Now the daemons have returned.

Bible Adventures
Media: Cartridge
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Christian
Release Year: 1995
Developer: Color Dreams
Publisher: Wisdom Tree
Players: 1
_________________________
Noah's Ark
God looked upon the earth, and behold, it was corrupt. So God asked Noah to make an
ark of cypress wood and bring into the ark two of every living thing of all flesh;
they shall be male and female. Help Noah gather animals and food for his long
journey before the flood arrives.
Save Baby Moses
The Pharaoh of Egypt has given orders to his soldiers to cast every male baby born
to the Hebrews into the Nile River. A daughter of the house of Levi has given birth
to a goodly son. Baby Moses is doomed unless you safely carry him to the weeds at
the river's edge. There baby Moses will be placed into a little ark made of
bulrushes and pitch.
David and Goliath
Young David is in charge of his family's sheep. After finding all the sheep and
carrying them to safety, David faces his greatest challenge. Armed only with his
sling and stones, David must defeat Goliath, the giant champion of the Philistine
army, and save the nation of Israel.
--From the Genesis Bible Adventures instruction manual.
Overview:
Before getting into the game, let me give you a bit of a background on the game's
company, Wisdom Tree. A Christian video game company, Wisdom Tree made religious
games for the NES, SNES, Genesis, PC, and a couple of others. But the games made
were unauthorized and without any kind of permission from either Nintendo, Sega, or
what have you. These games were reportedly sold in Christian bookstores rather than
video game retail outlets. Many of Wisdom Tree's games were criticized, though, for
being dangerously similar to more well known games like Super Mario, Zelda, and
Wolfenstein 3D.
Bible Adventures, originally released on the NES in 1991, had been ported to the
Sega Genesis in 1995 to the create the game here, giving it new music and updated
graphics. The gameplay is drastically similar to the classic Super Mario Bros 2. in
that you pick things up over your head and carry them, as well as just the layout
being similar. However, this game isn't as easy to control, and using the character
you want can often feel slippery. The sound leaves a bit to be desired, too, the
music not being all that memorable, and it might annoy you more than anything. If
you're into something different from what major game companies authorize, or a
pretty big Christian, you can give this a go, but otherwise I wouldn't recommend
it.
Directions:
Bible Adventures consists of three different games for you to play: Noah's Ark,
Baby Moses, and David and Goliath. Here is how you play each of them:
Noah's Ark: In this game, you play as Noah and your goal is round up two of each
type of animal: cows, horses, monkeys, snakes, pigs, and oxen. When you retrieve
the animals, you must bring them back to the middle where the ark is, and drop them
in (press Up to do so). Some animals you can just walk up to and pick them up with
ease, but sometimes you need more effort and this results in you knocking them out
with what appears to be a honeycomb. If you somehow find yourself low on health,
you can read the Bible verses scattered about the levels to help give yourself more
health. Your Inventory will tell you which animals you still need to find and which
ones you already have. Be aware that the snakes you are trying to catch are not the
same as the ones in the trees that try to kill you. There are several stages to
this game, each with a different list of animals to find.
Baby Moses: The Pharoah has ordered that all male Hebrew children are to be killed,
but with you as the role of Jochebed, you must get your son, Moses, through the
level unharmed. To do this, you have to carry Moses over your head in the same way
you would the animals in Noah's Ark. However, you must avoid the hunters, for they
can attack you as well as capture Moses. Keep this in mind, though: you can
complete the game without bringing Moses with you.
David and Goliath: With you taking the role of David, your goal in the beginning is
to capture sheep, again in the same way by lifting them over your head, and
bringing them to the pen. However, different animals such as lions and bears will
come after you, so you may have to dodge them to avoid being struck. After you
complete this portion, you must scale a mountain, all the while dodging guards and
creatures as well as tumbling rocks. The last part of the game consists of you in a
showdown between both the shield-bearer of Goliath as well as Goliath himself.
Noah's Ark: In this game, you play as Noah and your goal is round up two of each
type of animal: cows, horses, monkeys, snakes, pigs, and oxen. When you retrieve
the animals, you must bring them back to the middle where the ark is, and drop them
in (press Up to do so). Some animals you can just walk up to and pick them up with

Blaster Master 2 is a direct sequel to the NES game Blaster Master. It was released
exclusively for the Sega Mega Drive in 1993, only in North America.
Blaster Master 2 was handled by a team at Software Creations, rather than

internally at Sunsoft like its prequel. The Japanese arm of Sunsoft had at this
point tossed aside the Blaster Master franchise due to sluggish sales in Japan,
however the game sold very well in North America and so a western-developed sequel
was put into production. As such, the original team were initially unaware of
Blaster Master 2's existence.
Blaster Master 2 was not manufactured in large numbers, and is now considered to be
one of the more valuable Mega Drive games.

Blockout is a puzzle game developed by California Dreams and published by

The game can be seen almost as "3D Tetris". The game has a top-down perspective,
with the primary objective being to clear "floors" rather than lines. Like Tetris,
the player is given a series of shapes made up of cubes, which can be rotated on
all three axes. Also like Tetris, if the player's pieces reach the top of the
screen (i.e. some floors have gaps in them), the player will lose.
The formula behind Blockout has been recycled and rebranded numerous times, just
like Tetris.

Blockbuster World Video Game Championship II is a special cartridge used for, as
the name suggests, the second Blockbuster World Video Game Championships. It was
built by Acclaim for North American Sega Mega Drive units, and contains watered
down versions of NBA Jam Tournament Edition and Judge Dredd.
The event was organised in 1995, splitting contestants into categories - those aged
under and including 13, and those aged 14 or above. Players could pick between
Sega's console or Nintendo's SNES (which had a different cartridge - one produced
by Rare featuring Donkey Kong Country). Each Blockbuster store in North America ran
the event between June 14 and July 9, producing "store champions" who would then
progress to further round in August, set at GamePro's headquarters in San
Francisco. Despite the name it was not actually a "world championship".
This Mega Drive cartridge is exceptionally rare, not just because only a handful
were produced, but because unlike its SNES counterpart which could be won by
contestants, Acclaim's cartridge was ordered to be destroyed after use.

Bloodshot, known as Battle Frenzy in Germany, is a Sega Mega Drive and Sega Mega CD
game developed by Domark. It is notable for being a 3D first person shooter - one
of the few available for the Sega Mega Drive and the only game of this genre for
the Sega Mega CD.
Bloodshot was only released in Mega Drive cartridge form throughout Europe and
Australia. It was exclusive to the Sega Channel in North America where it was
called by its German name, Battle Frenzy. It is assumed the game was retitled to
make the game sound less violent, though the game does not contain any blood
("Bloodshot" is a code name for the fictional "Battle Frenzy" chip implanted in the
player").
The Sega Mega CD version was also exclusive to Europe until 2003, when a North
American version under the Battle Frenzy name was released. This version was
developed and published by Good Deal Games without the consent of Domark or
Acclaim.

translation, with intentions on releasing it sometime in 2011. Despite his PR
claiming that he received an "unofficial license" from Sega to distribute the game,
Sega really asked him to remove their copyrights and trademarks, consequently
making the translation fully unlicensed (while Blue Almanac is fully licensed).

Players: 1 or 2
_________________________
Bonanza Bros. is a 1990 arcade game developed by Sega for the Sega System 24 arcade
platform.
In the game the player either controls Robo (red) or Mobo (blue), two thieves who
must retrieve several objects scattered around levels while avoiding guards in a
stealth-like fashion. Each player is armed with a firearm which can stun the guards
for a short period of time, but it is also possible to hinder the guards' progress
by using various parts of the scenery. It is a two-player game, and the screen is
always split horizontally.
Bonanza Bros. was ported to the Amiga, Atari ST, Commodore 64, Sega Master System
and Sega Mega Drive in the coming years. TurboGrafx-CD and Sharp X68000 ports also
existed exclusively in Japan, and Amstrad CPC and ZX Spectrum ports were released
in Europe. Some westernised versions of the game call Robo and Mobo "Mike" and
"Spike" respectively. Likewise North American and Brazilian copies of the game
refer to the game as Bonanza Brothers rather than Bonanza Bros..
More recently, Bonanza Bros. was made available through the Wii's Virtual Console
service, as well as being made part of the Sega Classics Collection and Sega Mega
Drive Ultimate Collection compilations. As well as this, the game was unlockable
within the Japanese version of Sonic Gems Collection, but was strangely removed
from western releases of the game. It has also been ported to various mobile phones
by SoftBank Mobile.
The arcade version of Bonanza Bros. was also included in volume 6 of the Sega Ages
2500 PlayStation 2 series. It is bundled with Puzzle & Action: Tant-R and its
sequel, Puzzle & Action: Ichidant-R, both of which use a similar graphical style
(as does Puzzle & Action: Treasure Hunt, which was not included).
The Bonanza Bros. (Robo and Mobo) are playable characters in Sonic & Sega All-Stars

Boxing Legends of the Ring lets you take control of eight middleweight legends of
boxing, Roberto Duran, Tommy "Hitman" Duran, Jake "Raging Bull" La Motta, Rocky
Graziano, "Sugar" Ray Robinson, "Sugar" Ray Leonard, "Marveleous" Marvin Hagler and
James Toney. You can either compete in an exhibition mode or play in career mode
and become the greatest of all time.
The set of punches in the game is pretty much standard, jab, hook, uppercut, even
the ever popular but illegal low blow. Also, for each round and every knockdown you
score on an opponent, you get a super punch, a straight shot to the face and is
almost unstoppable and connected right could knock out your opponent, but if you
miss, you lose your punch for the round.
There are two main displays during a fight, a damage inflict meter in the form of
two boxing gloves, one on each side and as a player connects a punch, the glove
will show a black area of where the glove connected and a damage meter that show's
the two fighters faces. As the round progresses, the fighter shows more bruises and
cuts and starts to flash red when the fighter is getting tired and is the best time
to land your super punch.
Another feature is from round to round, your view will alternate, from looking over
your shoulder to the next round and looking at yourself over your opponents
shoulder.

_________________________
Castlevania: Bloodlines, known as Vampire Killer in Japan, is an entry in the
Castlevania series, and the first of two games to reach Sega systems. Bloodlines
was the subject of much debate at the time, as even though it has a considerable
amount of violence and many depictions of blood, Sega's Videogame Rating Council
only gave the game a "GA", the lowest rating possible. This affected the European
release, which was heavily censored and renamed Castlevania: The New Generation,
and the Australian release kept the name while remaining identical to the American
release in content. The game was released exclusively for the Sega Mega Drive.
Bloodlines takes place in 1917 and does not feature the Belmont clan featured in
previous games. It is also the first game not to take place exclusively within in
Romania.

Graphics and music are somewhat improved. The letters that can be collected within
a level spell out "CHAMPION", rather than "NINTENDO". Spelling out "CHAMPION" a
third and fourth time will earn superchargers that increase speed from 104 MPH to
108 MPH and 110 MPH. Players enter their initials at the beginning of the game, not
the end. There are five opponents instead of three. Cars under the effect of the
roll cage power-up cannot be destroyed by missiles or bombs. Dash Zones earn 100
times the points as the Nintendo versions. There are lap records for each track and
beating the record grants 500 points. Extra continues can be won every time five
consecutive races are won.

_________________________
Chaos Engine 2 appeared in 1996 for AGA Amigas and 1 MB Amiga 500, with a rough
beta version also in existence for Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. The game pits the
player characters against each other as prisoners of Baron Fortesque, and is
basically a competition game instead of a co-operation one. It was severely
unfinished when released, due to the publisher rushing it out, and the game brought
disappointment to many fans of the finely-honed first game. Little concrete
information is found on the sequel, save for the page on the developers' website.

land, Alurea, after a monster unexpectedly attacks, destroying everything in its

forgotten how to fight, yet the land's only survivors, the twin sons of the king,
must take up the challenge and return their kingdom to its former glory.
The two twins, aged around 15 at the time the game takes place, venture forth in
search of a legendary stone known as "Dragon Blue Eyes," which is rumoured to be
able to put everything back to rights.
The game is notable in the Sonic scene for its Mega Drive version; the Sonic 2

originally had Chiki Chiki Boys before being overwritten with the Sonic 2 beta ROM.

The game features eight playable characters, battling each other to become the
'King of the Circus'. The one-player game has the selected character battle through
several matches, including a few rematches against previously beaten opponents,
before fighting the game's final enemy, N. Boss. Each character has a set of
special moves performed with special button combinations. When a character receives
heavy damage, the word 'KO!' will appear above them, if they are hit with a special
move during this time, they will take extra damage.

_________________________
Comix Zone is a platform action game for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. Play involves
defeating enemies with punches, kicks, and holds, managing your inventory, and
solving puzzles.
The game's most remarkable feature is that it is set within the "panels" of a comic
book. Each level consists of two "pages", and secrets are discovered by shredding
the "paper" and revealing items. Dialogue is rendered within talk bubbles with the
typical comic font. Sprites and backgrounds possess the bright colors and dynamic
drawing style favored by superhero comics.
The plot concerns Sketch Turner, a cartoonist that during an unusual thunderstorm,
becomes trapped in his own comic book while Mortus, the villain of his story, is
flung out of it. Inside the comic book, he meets General Alissa Cyan, who believes
he's a superhero that came to save their post-apocalyptic world from the evil. In
the real world, Mortus would literally draw new villains on the pages of the comic
book, trying to kill Sketch Turner, and so obtaining his "real" body to conquer the
real world with. Sketch Turner would have to battle his way through the pages, his
only help being his pet rat Roadkill, who got electrocuted during this
thunderstorm, enabling him to zap enemies.
The game is hidden within the Japanese version of Sonic Mega Collection and is
locked part of all region versions of Sonic Mega Collection Plus, which is
unlockable with having a Sonic Heroes gamesave, or is unlocked over time.
The original Genesis game came with a bonus music CD, which had vocal tracks of the
6 main tunes in the game. The music was performed by the band "Roadkill", which was
lead by Howard Drossin.
Comix Zone was ported to the GBA and released in Europe in 2002.

_________________________
Crack Down is a top-down arcade shoot-'em-up title developed by Sega for their Sega
System 24 arcade board. It has subsequently been ported to a variety of systems,
including the Sega Mega Drive, Commodore Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Commodore
64, DOS and ZX Spectrum. The Mega Drive version is a common choice for
compilations, and has therefore seen several re-releases among other early Mega
Drive titles. It has also been brought to the Wii's Virtual Console service. For
whatever reason, Sega had Sage's Creation publish the Mega Drive port in North
America (it may have had to do with HOT-B making the port).
The game features two heroes, Ben and Andy, who have to get through a series of
levels as quickly as possible by placing bombs on marked X spots scattered around
the levels. The levels are heavily defended, but the player has an array of
weaponry including a cannon, machine gun, and superbombs at their disposal in order
to stay alive.
Crack Down is unusual in that its System 24 roots mean that the screen is always
split into two. As a result, one of the main complaints for weaker systems (with
lower screen resolutions) is that the majority of the screen is not used when
playing a one-player game.
There is a known glitch in the Amiga version of the game which causes the final
level to crash. Recent fan hacks have fixed the problem, but it was never addressed
during the production run.

Shinoda, a professional Japanese concert pianist and composer (sound programmer
Noriyuki Iwadare is often miscredited as co-composer)
Soleil is a village in a large continent overrun by monsters, and the crusaders of

Soleil are sent out by the King to save the humans. While on your own quest, you
save an old lady who tells you to talk to a fortuneteller west of Soleil, who
exchanges your ability to talk to humans with the ability to talk to animals (for
the first half of the game, that is). Now, you must rely on your sword and the aid
of a group of animals to rid the world of monsters - though along the way, you'll
come to realize monsters aren't as evil as the humans make them out to be.

Dick Tracy is a 1990 action game by Sega for the Sega Mega Drive and Sega Master

The game is an action game where Dick Tracy walks around killing bad guys to solve
mysteries. The game exists in a pesudo-3D world where enemies either approach from
where Dick is or from a distance "behind" him - therefore, Dick has to attack in
two different ways. Due to the differences in the two consoles's controllers,
controls for each version are slightly different. In order to make this explanation
simple, we will use the first level, which takes place on a street with Dick
walking along one sidewalk and the other enemies across the street, to explain the
different attacks.

_________________________
Dick Vitale's "Awesome, Baby!" College Hoops is a basketball game with commentary
from US sportscaster and former basketball coach Dick Vitale. It features numerous
college basketball teams, and was developed and published by Time Warner
Interactive in 1994.
The game is unusual in that it attempts to create a fully 3D experience on Sega

Mega Drive hardware, something assumed impossible. Depending on who has the ball,
the screen rotates to face behind the player, rather than having a side-on view
like NBA Jam. Unfortunately due to console limitations, this means there are no
backgrounds (minus the floor and hoops), the rotations are choppy and the framerate
is lower than in most games.
Though likely intended for a US-only release, Dick Vitale's "Awesome Baby" College
Hoops managed to find its way to Australia. Rather than design new box art, Time
Warner simply decided to plaster stickers on the box relevant to Australia,
creating some tacky results.

Aladdin is a platform game developed by Virgin Interactive in 1993. It is based on

DOS, Game Boy, Game Boy Color and NES. An entirely different game was developed by
Sims for the Sega Master System and Sega Game Gear, and another version developed
by Capcom exists for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Game Boy Advance,
as Capcom still held the rights to develop Disney-themed games for Nintendo
consoles.
Virgin's version of the game was seen as a milestone for the industry, as all the
animations were drawn by Disney artists frame by frame. It meant that Aladdin
looked significantly better than most other platformers on the market, and was able
to provide gamers with the same graphical style as seen in the film. Many of
Aladdin's developers would move on to form Shiny Entertainment, and produce
Earthworm Jim.

Release Year: 1996
Developer: Funcom
Publisher: Disney Interactive
Players: 1
_________________________
Take control of the title character or her little raccoon friend, Meeko, in this
adventure based on Pocahontas, the Disney animated film from 1995. Pocahontas must
learn the nine special animal spirits as she ventures out into the wilderness to
prevent a war between her Powhatan tribe and the English settlers. The game is
separated into three acts and takes place in the forest, at the long house of Chief
Powhatan, at an English settlement, inside a ship, and in various natural Virginian
surroundings.
When the game begins, Pocahontas can walk, climb, short jump and push objects,
while Meeko can run, climb trees, jump, jump into Pocahontas' arms, push small
objects and tread water. In order to gain special powers (such as night vision,
swimming and sprinting), Pocahontas, with the help of Meeko, must free nine animal
friends from various predicaments. Switch between the pair at any time and use each
character's strengths to figure out how to reach the end of the level.
Various puzzles appear throughout each level as you explore your surroundings. For
example, you cannot simply enter the front door of the long house, so you must find
another way in. Ledges sometimes appear to be out of reach and some objects seem
impossible to move. These and other puzzles await your gaming expertise. Players
can resume progress by entering passwords awarded at the end of each level, and
cinematic cut-scenes help further the story as the characters advance through the
game.
Trivia:
Released to theaters in 1995, Pocahontas tells the story of a brave and free
spirited woman who defied her tribe and her father (Chief Powhatan) by falling in
love with an Englishman named John Smith. Voice actors for the film include Irene
Bedard, Judy Kuhn and Mel Gibson.

_________________________
You are an Overlord in the employ of an aged King who has long since tired of
battling. Protection and control of the kingdom, its resources, treasures and its
force of monster are your obligations.
Neighboring clans are invading the dominion. They are a scourge of ravenous
looters, soldiers, and mages. Each group desires some resource that is abundant in
the kingdom. The longer they steal from you, the stronger they become.
The clans will attack from every direction. If you do not defeat them at the
outskirts of the kingdom they will move toward your castle destroying and pillaging
along the way. As they ravage the land and close on the castle they gain strength
from the resources they have captured. Each clan is after specific resources. Some
are invaders or scouts. Others are powerful mages.
Fight back the invaders with all your resources. Order your generals and monsters
into combat. Lay traps. Use Magick to destroy the clans and enhance your own
forces. Gain information through interrogation and spies or fight with your own
hands.

Donald in Maui Mallard is a platform game starring Donald Duck which was released
for the Sega Mega Drive. The original Mega Drive version was only released in
Europe and Brazil, as Nintendo had secured a deal with Disney to ensure no Donald
Duck games were released on rival systems in North America. It was also the first
game to be developed under the Disney Interactive label.
Donald in Maui Mallard would be tuned up significantly and brought to the SNES as
Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow, with later ports to Windows PCs and the Game Boy.
Interestingly these versions omit all references to Donald Duck, citing that the
main character's name is "Maui Mallard".

Double Dragon is a 1987 arcade beat-'em-up by Technos. It was ported to a variety
of consoles; Accolade brought it to the Sega Mega Drive in 1993 and Sega to the
Sega Master System in 1988. Accolade's version was licensed by Sega, despite the
ROM header saying otherwise.
The Mega Drive port is a straight port of the arcade with slight differences in
graphics and sound. The enemies also easily mimic the players up and down movement,
which can lead to some annoyance.
The Master System version has slightly different controls due to the controller
only having two buttons. Some parts of the levels are designed differently and
extended. The mohawk Abobo is missing in this version. Unlimited continues are
available up until the final stage (although unlimited continues can be attained in
the final stage through a cheat).

The game stars the rejected puppet named Headdy who has interchangeable heads. He
must defeat the evil Dark Demon, an evil emperor who wishes to take over the land
of puppets.
Dynamite Headdy uses a distinct graphical style to give the impression that all the
events take place on a theatre stage, with many of the backgrounds designed to look
like cheap cardboard sets. It also suffered significant changes when brought over
to a western audience, with many Japanese-themed bosses altered and the entire
game's dialogue being removed. The most significant changes are the level titles
(now named to parody well-known movie titles e.g. Fly Hard/Die Hard) and the
regularly-occurring bounty hunter "Maruyama", who was recoloured brown and renamed
"Trouble Bruin". However, despite this, his musical score which has synthesized
speech still says "Maruyama". Translation group M.I.J.E.T. restored and translated
the cut dialogue in a translation patch made in 2007.
The game has also been released as part of the Wii's Virtual Console service, and

_________________________
Ecco Jr. is an spin-off of the Ecco the Dolphin series, aimed at younger children.
It was released in 1995 for the Sega Mega Drive, though a similar Sega Pico title
named Ecco Jr. and the Great Ocean Treasure Hunt! was also made available.
Ecco the Dolphin had been a huge success for Sega and Novotrade, but both it and
its sequel are often regarded as very challenging and often confusing video games
meaning they are unsuitable for the young market. Despite this, Ecco was bought
with young children in mind, which prompted the creation of Ecco Jr. which would
attempt to appeal to a younger audience with the extreme difficulty removed. Unlike
other games in the series, it is impossible for Ecco (or his friends) to die, and
the focus is placed on completing simple tasks and on educational material about
dolphins.
Despite the lack of gameplay value for older gamers, Ecco Jr. has been re-released
as part of the PlayStation 2/PlayStation Portable title Sega Mega Drive Collection
and Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection. It was also released as part of the Wii's
Virtual Console service.

Ecco the Dolphin (sometimes known simply as Ecco) is a successful video game
developed by Novotrade International and published by Sega for the Sega Mega Drive,
Sega Master System (only in Europe), Sega Game Gear and later Sega Mega CD. It is
one of the Mega Drive's most well-known titles, and spawned numerous sequels. The
game features a bottlenosed dolphin named Ecco on a sidescrolling underwater
adventure. The game is noted for its high difficulty level, and though appears to
appeal to a younger audience, has a much deeper and darker story than anticipated.
Ecco on the Mega CD features a full redbook audio soundtrack composed by Spencer
Nilsen and has re-designed levels.
Ecco was has been re-released in several formats over the years, usually in its
original Mega Drive form. It was included in Sega Mega Drive Collection for the
Sony PlayStation 2 and Sony PlayStation Portable, and was released as a
downloadable title through the RealOne Arcade service (also in the form of a one
hour trial version). In 2006 it was released on the Wii's Virtual Console service,
and in 2007 became a downloadable title through the Xbox Live Arcade service. Ecco
was also included in Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection. It was also ported to the
PC in 1996.
Ecco the Dolphin was followed by Ecco: The Tides of Time.

Fatal Labyrinth, called Shi no Meikyuu: Labyrinth of Death in Japan, is a role-
playing game developed and published by Sega for the Sega Mega Drive in 1991. In
Japan, it was a Sega Game Toshokan download exclusive. In the game you play as
Trykaar, who must enter Dragonia, the castle of doom and traverse its thirty levels
to retrieve the Holy Goblet.
The game is a roguelike where most levels of the castle are chosen at random from a
predefined set. You will find monsters and items scattered at random.
The game ends when you run out of health. You regain health by eating food found as
items on the ground; health will slowly regenerate while you have health left to
regenerate. If you run out of food, you will rapidly lose health until you eat food

Fatal Labyrinth, called Shi no Meikyuu: Labyrinth of Death in Japan, is a role-
playing game developed and published by Sega for the Sega Mega Drive in 1991. In
Japan, it was a Sega Game Toshokan download exclusive. In the game you play as
Trykaar, who must enter Dragonia, the castle of doom and traverse its thirty levels
to retrieve the Holy Goblet.
The game is a roguelike where most levels of the castle are chosen at random from a
predefined set. You will find monsters and items scattered at random.
The game ends when you run out of health. You regain health by eating food found as
items on the ground; health will slowly regenerate while you have health left to
regenerate. If you run out of food, you will rapidly lose health until you eat food
or die. If you eat too much food (the "F" counter on the HUD exceeds 80), you will
slow down. Eat more (F=99) and you die.

_________________________
FIFA International Soccer (known as FIFA International Soccer Championship Edition
for its Sega Mega CD release), is the first game in the long-running FIFA series,
developed by Extended Play Productions and published by Electronic Arts.
As well as being released for the Sega Mega CD, it was released for the Sega Mega
Drive, Sega Game Gear and Sega Master System, as well as several non-Sega consoles
and computers. Most ports were released in 1993, though the Mega CD version and
some Japanese ports were delayed until 1994 (and in some cases, even 1995). The
Master System version was exclusive to Brazil, and is a port of the Game Gear
version.
Unlike later FIFA games which are presented in full 3D, FIFA International Soccer
goes for an isometric perspective and has much simpler gameplay. Also, though it
allows the user to play as official international teams, it does not feature
official player names. Nevertheless, the combination of isometric graphics and a
commentator set it aside from its rivals, namely the Sensible Soccer and Kick Off
series.

Though not all versions could handle all the new features FIFA 96 brought to the

_________________________
Flashback, known in the US as Flashback: The Quest for Identity, is a platform-
action game for the Commodore Amiga developed by Delphine Software and published by
U.S. Gold in 1992. Arguably Delphine Software's greatest work, it has been ported
to a variety of platforms, including the Sega Mega Drive and Sega Mega CD, as well
as 3DO, Acorn Archimedes, Atari Jaguar, CD-i, DOS, FM Towns, iPhone OS, Mac OS, NEC
PC-9801, and SNES. CD-based versions tend to include full motion video cutscenes
and an enhanced music soundtrack, but are essentially the same game.
In Flashback the player controls Conrad B. Hart, who having escaped from aliens
finds himself in the jungles of Titan with his memory erased. He must recover his
memory and save earth from an alien attack. The game is largely inspired by Prince
of Persia, though has many notable improvements such as a weapon system. The game
was well received due to its fluid animations and stealth-like gameplay.
The Sega versions of the game have one notable difference than other versions -
Conrad wears a white shirt, presumably due to a more limited on-screen color
palette.
The game was followed by a 3D title, Fade to Black, a PlayStation 1 exclusive.

Plans for a second sequel called Flashback Legends was due for the Game Boy
Advance, but was cancelled. Leaked prototypes show a significant amount of
graphical and story changes that barely resemble the world built up in the previous
titles. As Delphine Software no longer exist, the chances of a true sequel are
slim.

_________________________
Frogger is a video game originally developed by Konami running on Namco's Galaxian
hardware and released in arcades in 1981. Frogger was a massive success in arcades
and has been ported to numerous platforms as well as spawning numerous sequels and
remakes (and unofficial clones).
Distribution and publishing rights to Frogger were held by Sega in the early 1980s,
which were then sold on to other companies for home use (for example, Parker
Brothers had the ROM cartridge rights and Sierra On-Line held the magnetic media
rights). Often this would lead to some video game consoles and computers receiving
multiple ports of Frogger. Sega distributed three diffeerent arcade versions of
Frogger, one of which ran on the modified version of the Galaxian hardware used by
Nichibutsu's Moon Cresta.
Frogger bypassed Sega's consoles and computers during the 1980s, but eventually saw
a North American release on the Sega Mega Drive in 1998 by Majesco (who had at this
point been given the rights to distribute Sega's older consoles in this region). It
was the last Sega Mega Drive game to be released in North America (and was a North
American exclusive). Coincidentally Frogger was also the last SNES game to be
released in that region. Both copies of the game recycle box art from Frogger 3D, a
three-dimensional sequel released a year earlier.
Unfortunately the Mega Drive port is merely a straight arcade port, with no
enhanced graphics or sound, bar a new title screen.
Plans for a Sega Game Gear version of Frogger were put in place, but were
ultimately scrapped. It is rumoured that licensing issues caused this, though a
working protoype of the game has since been found.

_________________________
G-LOC: Air Battle (G-LOC meaning "G-force induced Loss Of Consciousness") is an air
combat simulator developed by Sega AM2. It is a spiritual sequel to After Burner
II, featuring similar gameplay ideas and some recycled sound effects, though has
always been publically advertised as a different game entirely. Unlike games using
the After Burner name, G-LOC uses a first person perspective, though it does
occasionally pan out to a third person view when the player's plane is locked onto
by an enemy.
Like After Burner, the goal is to eliminate enemy planes, though in G-LOC there are
also ground units. The original arcade version runs on more advanced Sega Y Board
hardware, and makes heavy use of sprite scaling/rotation and pre-rendered 3D
graphics.
G-LOC is notable for being one of the first video games to offer an arcade cabinet
which could rotate 360 degrees on all three axes, immersing the player in the
action. These versions of the game are sometimes referred to as G-LOC R360, though
the gameplay itself is identical.
Though not as popular in arcades as After Burner, G-LOC was still ported to a
variety of home platforms, including the Sega Mega Drive, Sega Master System and
Sega Game Gear. Computer ports, often going by the name G-LOC R360 were released
for the Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum. All these
versions suffer from various cutbacks due to weaker hardware, though some versions
add extra features such as boss battles.
G-LOC was followed by Strike Fighter, which is extremely similar in design but
ditches the time-based missions in favour of gameplay more akin to After Burner.

_________________________
Galaxy Force II is a 1988 arcade game developed by Sega AM2. It is a sequel to
Galaxy Force, though the differences between the two games minimal. It is a third
person on-the-rails shoot 'em up, where the player controls a spaceship traveling
across various planets destroying enemies. Like all Sega Y Board games, it is
heavily reliant on sprite scaling and rotations.
Besides a change in title screen, the exact differences between Galaxy Force and
Galaxy Force II are not yet known. Galaxy Force II, however, was housed in much
simpler, "traditional" arcade cabinets unlike its prequel.
Galaxy Force II was ported to the Sega Mega Drive in 1989, and a selection of
computers including the Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum.
Due to the inferior hardware of these systems, large cutbacks were made regarding
detail and the reception has hence been mixed. There was a more respectable port to
the FM Towns Marty in Japan however, which kept the sprite scaling, and there was a
re-release for the Sega Saturn under the Sega Ages label. Many of the computer
releases mis-label the packaging as "Galaxy Force" rather than "Galaxy Force II",
but the in-game title screens retain the numbering. A port to NEC's SuperGrafx was
also in development and shown in magazines, but never completed.
The arcade game has since been re-released in Japan as part of the PlayStation 2's
Sega Ages 2500 series. More recently, the Mega Drive version of the game was
brought to the Wii's Virtual Console service.

Garfield: Caught in the Act is a platformer game starring the characters from the
Garfield comic series. It was released for the Sega Mega Drive and Sega Game Gear
in 1995, and was brought to Windows in 1996 as a stand-alone title as well as
through the Sonic & Garfield Pack. A port to the Sega 32X under the title of
Garfield in TV Land was planned, but scrapped, though the name was still used in
some later re-releases. The original Mega Drive game features six levels. Sega
Channel subscribers could download Garfield: The Lost Levels, that featured 3
different levels.
The Game Gear version includes eight levels, two of which appear in the Lost
Levels. There is only one type of bonus stage (accessed by finding an icon of
Arlene's face in each level), in which you try to wreck everything in Jon's living
room within a time limit to get an extra life. Garfield does not have different
outfits in each level, and the attacks are the same in all levels (his close-range
is a punch, and the projectile are stones). There are no invincibility items. In
the between-level segments, you do not take damage from the obstacles; instead,
they teleport you back to the start of that segment.
In the PC, there is a new level, Alien Landscape, and the Mega Drive levels are
arranged in a different order.

The game uses the MC68000's tas (test and set) opcode to do condition-related
things (exactly what is unknown; TODO). tas runs in a different way from other
CPUs, and for some unknown reason the Genesis is wired differently. The designers
of the Genesis 3 overlooked this, and for some unknown reason, the game will not
run on this model, making it the only game not to run on the Genesis 3 due to
something other than additional hardware not being supported.

Ishmeria is an island inhabited by humans and mythical creatures guarded by six

curse being set on magic itself: whoever wears the Crown of Seven Jewels has full

daughter Robyn to take the jewels from the crown, which hold the magic power, and
scatter them around. Now, the six wizards, each united with six noble families of
Ishmeria, and Eselred, united with the Fire Dragon, must race to get the jewels
first - should they fall back into Eselred's hands, all hope for the Ishmeria's
freedom will be lost.

The game was the first in the long-running Golden Axe series. It is said to be
heavily inspired by the Conan the Barbarian films, and that the game took roughly
one year to make.
The game has enjoyed many years of success on the Sega Mega Drive, and was used in
the early days of the console to advertise the system's power over its then-main
rival, the Nintendo Entertainment System. Some levels were shortened, but an extra
level was added which includes another boss, "Doom Bringer". Also in this version
is a "duel" mode, which allows players to fight a succession of enemies one-on-one.
The Mega Drive version of the game has been included in numerous compilations, such
as 6-Pak, Mega Games 2, Mega Games 6 and Mega Games 10. The game has also been
emulated and sold in the form of Sega Smash Pack Volume 1, Sega PC Smash Pack, Sega
Mega Drive Ultimate Collection, Sega Archives from USA Vol. 1 and Sega Mega Drive
Classic Collection Volume 1, as well as services such as PlaySega and built-in to
numerous consoles by AtGames.
This version was so popular that it got direct sequels in the form of Golden Axe II
and Golden Axe III. In the arcades, the "true" sequel is Golden Axe: The Revenge of
Death Adder. A Sega Mega-Tech version also exists, which is based on the Mega Drive
version, as is the version released for the Wii's Virtual Console service.
The Mega Drive Golden Axe was enhanced for the Sega Mega CD and delivered as part

offers numerous improvements in terms of audio and some graphical tweaks.

new being named "Dark Guld".
Golden Axe II has received mixed reviews from critics. Many claim the game is
merely a re-hash of the previous entry in the series, as very little is added to
the core gameplay. Though some have praised the graphics and music, others have
criticised the game's poor sound effects which are said to ruin the atmosphere of
the game. Luckily, many of these concerns were addressed in the sequel, Golden Axe

Hard Drivin' is a 1988 arcade driving game developed by Atari Games and later
ported to numerous consoles and computers including the Sega Mega Drive. The aim is
to race around a course as fast as possible without crashing.
Hard Drivin' is notable for its use of 3D polygon graphics, which was considered
too processor-intensive to be plausible on the systems of the day. Though less
impressive than the Commodore 64 or Amstrad CPC versions, Hard Drivin' on the Mega
Drive still stands out as being one of the few games on the console to attempt 3D.
One of Hard Drivin''s sequels, Race Drivin' also made it to the Sega Mega Drive in
1992.

Harry Potter for the Sega Mega Drive is an unlicensed release loosely based around

2004, though has since made its way onto the black market and sold as a retail

The game is very similar to Pac-Man (or Pac-Mania), and has Harry travel across
isometric mazes with themese slightly similar to those found in the books. He has
to collect a certain amount of flying golden snitches, while avoiding a handful of
other characters, many of which have no relation to the series whatsoever. The game
steals music from the film as well as Street Fighter II and Puzzle Bobble.

After many long, hard days and nights of coding, testing and debugging, the light
at the end of the tunnel finally approaches, and the pride and expectation of
wanting to view the final product on a store shelf is nearly overwhelming.
Unfortunately for some, despite having thrown their heart and soul into the work
and endured all the stress along the way, that wondrous day of release... never
comes. Instead, their heart sinks as they are shuffled off to another project.
Such was the story for Matt Harmon, the lead designer and programmer of the Sega
Genesis action game, It Came From The Desert. An eager young hacker turned
professional developer, Matt was put in charge of the entire project and worked
feverishly to complete it in good time. However, despite getting the game to a near
completed state, he was told that it was over; the game had been shelved
indefinitely by the publisher.
While the prototype version of It Came From The Desert is legally available for
free download directly from Cinemaware's website, it's certainly not the style of
release Matt had originally hoped for, nor the only one this game deserved.
However, while the chances for neglected title's commercial release may have died
many years ago, its story will be immortalized.

Jelly Boy was one of those "lost" Platformers of the SNES-era. By this, I mean it
was a game of exceptional quality that got lost within the many, many poorly
designed 2D Platformers that plagued that console generation. Subsequently this
game, like Plok or Skyblazer or any decent non-Mario-affiliated platformer, went
largely unnoticed by the general gaming public on release.
Jelly Boy puts in the control of a jelly baby with morphing powers, sort of like if
A Boy and His Blob merged together in some ungodly ritual. His quest is to find
various items inside a weird factory so that the elevator doorman will allow him to
go up and meet the dude in charge. Awesome music, polished graphics, a whole bunch
of detailed levels and worlds and a bizarre sense of humor brighten up an otherwise
generic platformer.

Dimension in 3D, however replaces the 3D/Mode 7 effects with 2D shoot-'em-up
stages. There have also been numerous tweaks to make the game easier, as Jim Power
games are notoriously difficult.
The game was cancelled due to Loriciel having financial troubles, however a

Game was very close to completion. There is only one music track in the game, which
was intended for stage 3, however all the levels can be played and the game can be

John Madden Football, known as John Madden American Football in Europe, is an

Electronic Arts. It is the second in the long line of Madden titles, which have
been released annually since the creation of this game. The previous game, also
called John Madden Football was released in 1988 and is largely unrelated to this
one, aside from the similar themes.
John Madden Football for the Mega Drive can be seen as "Madden '91", being followed
by John Madden Football '92, '93, '94 and so on. Every game has been named after
John Madden, American football player, coach and commentator.
Electronic Arts reverse engineered the Sega Mega Drive in the hopes of selling the
game in North America without having to pay royalties ($8-$10 USD per cartridge) to
Sega. A proposal was then made to Sega that the fee be reduced to $2, with the
overall fee not exceeding $2 million USD. Sega agreed due to fears EA would sell
the information to other companies, and the process would reportedly save EA $35
million in the next three years.
John Madden Football was an enormous success for EA. Sega originally approached the
company to sell it as Joe Montana Football, as their game was due to miss the 1990
Christmas shopping season, but were refused, instead being given a watered down
engine for that game (which still proved successful). The first John Madden
Football game is seen as an industry game changer - one of the first steps to take
back market share from Nintendo in North America.
Elsewhere in the world, John Madden Football and its sequels have been less
successful as the sport does not tend to resonate outside of the US, however EA has
applied the annual release system to other sports titles, namely NHL, FIFA, PGA
Tour Golf and NBA Live.

The game situates itself on the "Isla Sorna" sites of Jurassic Park, a concept
originally based on the Steven Spielberg series of movies. You play the role of a
bounty hunter trying to catch some prized dinosaurs. This game is not a side
scrolling platform game like the other two Jurassic Park games on the Genesis. This
is a top-down view game like the SNES version of Jurassic Park, with gameplay
similar to The Chaos Engine.
Each of the four Isla Sorna sites contains three missions. Once you have completed
the three missions you unlock the boss mission. For a change in the game, the boss
missions are 3D look-alike levels. Once the four sites are cleared you get two more
final missions to complete the game.

In this game you play as Dr. Grant. The big difference with the first game is that
there are more enemies to defeat. In addition to the dinosaurs you have to defeat

Kei is an incredibly powerful Japanese boxer. One day the Boss of the evil Kageki
gang sees him in action. Impressed by Kei's pugilistic skills, the Boss asks him to
be his right hand man in his organization. Kei, honorable guy that he is, boldly
refuses. The Boss swears that he will not be spurned. A few days later, Kei's
brother is beaten within an inch of his life. Knowing who is behind this brutal
assault, Kei vows revenge.
Gameplay:
As Kei you must fight nine Kageki gang members and four underlings in a series of
one-on-one fights before confronting the Boss himself. Your opponents vary in skill
and abilities. For example: Ashpit is slow but can slap really hard, and Lizard is
a dirty fighter who attacks using sandbags. As a boxer, your offensive moves are
limited to a jab (left punch), a super jab (right punch), and a straight (right
punch). You can also duck and jump. The action takes place in a garage, a gym, a
machine room, a former night club, a fitness club, and other locations inside a
high-rise building. Unlike most fighting games, Kageki is designed for only one
player.

_________________________
Kawasaki Superbike Challenge is a motorcycle racing game that uses the same engine
as F1. It includes 14 standard-length race tracks, plus the Suzuka 8 Hours
endurance race, available in both training and Championship modes. The game is
unlicensed (except by Kawasaki), so all riders and teams are fictional.
The game now has more polygonal roadside objects than F1, and there is still a
Turbo mode, allowing for faster racing at the expense of some of the detail. You
have the ability to turn on or off weather (during rainy days the graphics are
darker and the bike has less traction). The number of laps on each course can be 5,
10 or 15, and there are 4 skill levels. Some changes have been made to how the
vehicle handles, to emphasize the switch from cars to bikes.
Directions:
The object is to grab first place in order to grab top honors at the end.
Trivia:
The sequel, Kawasaki Caribbean Challenge, was apparently not released for the
Genesis/Mega Drive. This entry uses the Domark F1 game engine.

The third entry in the Kick Off series is the first that offers a isometric view

Cup Finals, League, Knock Out Cup and the challenge). There is several options for
game speed and ball control to suit both novice and skilled gamers. Each of the 32
teams in the game has a distinct style of play, ensuring that no two games are
alike. Each team also has "key players", such as Liberos and Wingers, who play a
pivotal role in how that team plays. Kick Off 3 offers two styles of play: Arcade
and Simulation. The difference is that in the Arcade mode you can switch of rules
to focus purely on reflexes.

For this game, there are three cameos from Street Fighter included (Ryu, Guile and

Another two things of this game is that each character seems to have a lot of

with his Rockey Bomber; and slimy mutant Beetlemania, who attacks his foes with a
Beetle Missile. To play this game, you choose one of these four monsters, using him
to fight the rest of the monsters one at a time.
In the two-player mode, you and a friend each choose a monster and fight each
other. The two of you can also choose a favorite level: Megaport, Castle City,
Dragon City, or Tokyo. Each level consists of two stages. While fighting a monster,
you should be on the lookout for tanks, jets, battleships, and laser vehicles that

_________________________
Maximus was a good king. His subjects were happy, businesses were successful, food
was tasty, and all seemed right. Since he ruled over four continents with only his
wise judgment and Scepter of Order, this was a considerable achievement. Little did
the King know, however, that an evil creature named Arech Dragonbreath planned on
stealing the scepter to throw the world into chaos.
One night while Maximus slept, Arech teleported inside the Royal Chambers and
pulled the Scepter of Order from the King's grip. He then ordered his followers to
attack the continents and take as much land as they desired. Meanwhile, Maximus
grew seriously ill. It seems the Scepter's return will not only restore the kingdom
to its former glory, but also save the King's life.
Arech shattered the magical instrument into 25 pieces, giving sixteen to evil
nobles, one for himself, and scattering the remaining eight across the continents.
This is where you come in. You'll need to save the dying king and four continents
by retrieving all 25 parts of the Scepter of Order. Depending on the difficulty
level you select, you'll either have 200, 400, 600 or 900 days to accomplish this.
The four characters you'll choose from include Sir Crimsaun the Knight, Lord Palmer
the Paladin, Tynnestra the Sorceress, and Mad Moham the Barbarian. During your
quest you'll be able to amass armies (depending on your character's leadership
skills), siege castles, obtain contracts, fight turn-based battles and manage your
weekly commission. Passwords will allow players to continue their game at any time.

Lakers vs Celtics and the NBA Playoffs
Region: USA

Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1991
Players: 1 or 2 VS
_________________________
Lakers vs. Celtics is a basketball game featuring real NBA teams. Gameplay is
action-oriented with an emphasis on offense. Play an exhibition game or try to win
the NBA title in the playoff tournament mode. A season mode is not available. You
can substitute tired players but there aren't any other management options.
The DOS version has ten '88-'89 NBA teams, including the East and West All-Stars.
You can play with some of the biggest names in NBA history including Kareem, Bird,
Jordan and Ewing. Several star players have their own signature move.
The Genesis version, which was released one year later, has ten NBA teams from the
'89-'90 season. It also adds more signature moves, different home- and away-
jerseys, player portraits for the starting five, voice-samples for the referee and
counts the number of personal fouls a players has committed.
Trivia:
- The Genesis version, which was released one year after the DOS version, isn't a
port of the DOS version. It's almost a completely new game: it has new animations,
sounds, graphics and adds player portraits. Moreover the DOS version has 10 1988-
1989 teams while the rosters in the Genesis version are based on the 1989-1990 NBA
season.
- '88-'89 was Kareem Abdul Jabbar's last season so unfortunately he and his famous
skyhook move are left out of the Genesis version.
- While both versions are called Lakers vs. Celtics, it was actually the Detroit
Pistons who won the NBA title in '88-'89 as well as '89-'90.
- This game is one of very few to have Michael Jordan playable in the Bulls' roster
due to his expensive contract rights.

Landstalker: The Treasures of King Nole
Region: USA
Media: Cartridge
Controller: Gamepad
Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1993
Developer: Climax Entertainment
Publisher: SEGA
Players: 1
_________________________
Landstalker is an action packed adventure, where you play Nigel, the Elf. You must
search for the treasures of King Nole, and face many uncharted areas in your search
for riches. Grab your sword and your booty bag, it's off to the island of Mercator
to find the treasure.
The legends of King Nole are known through out the land. Hundreds of years ago, the
evil King swept across the continent, amassing hoardes of riches. Many treasure
hunters have tried to find the large cache of jewels and other riches, but none
have found anything. Returning to the city of Kalva with his latest find, Nigel is
exuberant that it sold as well as it did. Planning to live on the coast for a
while, he was taken by surprise when a tiny girl with wings and a forked tail sails
into his backpack. She says she knows where the treasures are hidden, and is
anxious to take you there.
Gameplay:
The player, as Nigel the treasure hunter, is tasked with searching for clues that
lead to the treasure of King Nole. This is accomplished primarily by travelling
through both outdoor areas and dungeons. All gameplay takes place in an isometric
view, including plot-advancing scenes.
From the outset of the game, Nigel may walk, jump, swing his sword, talk to various
non-player characters, and pick up and throw various objects. With very few
exceptions, these basic actions do not change throughout the game, although Nigel's
weapons and armor may be replaced with better versions thereof. There are a variety
of items throughout the game, most of which are either restorative in nature or
important to advancing the plot or solving puzzles.
The game's dungeons are filled with monsters, puzzles, and traps that require the
player to jump from platform to platform. Locked doors inhibit the player's
progress, and keys must be found to unlock them. The player has health which is
kept track of by hearts; health and the maximum health limit may be increased with
items purchased in towns or found in dungeons. The player is not prevented from
revisiting old towns and dungeons, and is frequently required to do so to advance
the plot.
Trivia:
- There was a scene cut out where Kayla is taking a bath. Nigel can either join or
trying leave her, but in the end he will be beaten by Friday or Kaylas Henchmen.
- "Madam Yards Studio" (brothel) was renamed to "Ballet Studio" for NA and European
territories.
- The Ending differs slightly from the American and European/Japanese ones. The
original ending is that one where all the treasures are gone.
- In 2005, it was announced that Landstalker will be remade for the PlayStation
Portable, but the release date was canceled. This game was added to the Wii's
Virtual Console in North America on September 3, 2007, and in Europe on October 5,
2007.

Langrisser II

Release Year: 2008
Players: 1
Version: 081106
_________________________
This game is what could be called a Shining Force clone, except that the series has
been going on for a long time, spanning various consoles, and it's quite fun. It's
also heavily story-driven, but unfortunately, I can't make up much of it because
it's in Japanese.
It looks like Shining Force, it plays like Shining Force, but it's much deeper,
since you control whole armies using a similar interface. It can get rather
tedious, but if you have patience, you can master it.
This is a translation patch for the Mega Drive game Langrisser II. It is the sequel
to Langrisser (known as Warsong in the USA) by Masaya. As usual, it is a "dual-
language" patch, meaning that it is capable of displaying the original Japanese
script in addition to the English translation, depending on the country code of
your machine.
It is loosely based on the older Hiryuu Honyaku / Warui Toransu translation. A few
improvements to their original work were made by D et al. before he passed it off
to M.I.J.E.T. Aside from the script and a few graphics, almost nothing was taken
from the old release. The hacking was completely redone from scratch and is far
superior. The script was almost entirely rewritten, edited, and type-set, with
quite a bit of it retranslated. If you shied away from the older release, you may
find that this version meets your standards.

_________________________
What is a Lemming?
Lemmings are actually very small rodents that live in Northern Europe. Every so
many years an unusual event happens: The Lemmings population explodes and grows to
immense proportions. At this time, the multitudes travel across vast spaces of land
oblivious to any danger that may confront them. The Lemmings' only concern is to
migrate forward, each following the next. Where are they going you ask? In an
almost hypnotic state, they plunge, by the thousands, mindlessly into the sea
towards certain annihilation.
This is your chance to play a part in a natural phenomenon and possibly help solve
a puzzle which has baffled researchers for years.
Our Definition
lem-ming ('lem-ing): adorable yet incredibly stupid furry creatures, lost in a maze
of confusion. Known for walking off cliffs, wandering aimlessly into dangerous
passageways and drowning by the thousands in small pools of water. Without your
help, they have no chance for survival.
Let's Go!
Lemmings may be mindless but are luckily equipped with special skills that you must
assign to them so that they can travel safely through many dangerous terrains. An
experienced player will know precisely where and when to assign these skills to the
token Lemmings who will build a safe path towards an exit and save the rest of
their buddies. Your success is measured by the percentage you save.
It will take all your brain power to rescue as many Lemmings as possible from
impending doom! As you see hordes of these cute little fellows march to their sad
fate, a guilty conscience is not the only thing you will develop--it's sure to
become an addictive obsession!
--from the Genesis Lemmings game manual
Gameplay:
This is a really good game. The game might seem easy, but it takes a lot of
thinking in the later levels. I prefer this version over the one on the SNES
because it is closer to the original PC version. The game's music has the "springy"
noise found in almost every Genesis game, unlike the SNES version.
Directions:
What they're trying to say in the manual is that you have to get those little
green-haired Lemmings through an obstacle course to the exit before time runs out.
The "special skills" are Blocker, Builder, Climber, Floater, Bomber, Basher, Miner,
and Digger. Make sure they don't drown, fall, get burned, sliced, or smashed,
depending on what's in the level.

Lethal Enforcers
Region: USA
Media: Cartridge
Controller: Light Gun
Genre: Light Gun
Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1992
Developer: Konami
Publisher: Konami
_________________________
Lethal Enforcers is a 1992 shooting game released for the arcades by Konami. It is
best known for its revolver-shaped light gun known as the Konami Justifier, its
digitized graphics, and the controversy over its content.
Home versions were released for the Super NES, Sega Genesis and Sega CD during the
following year. The home versions makes use of a revolver-shaped light gun known as
the Konami Justifier, which came packaged with the game. A standard controller can
be also used in lieu of the light gun in these versions. A second-player Justifier
light gun, pink in color, was available only by mail order from Konami, and is very
hard to find today.
Lethal Enforcers was followed by Lethal Enforcers II: Gunfighters, followed by the
much different (and fully computer-generated) Lethal Enforcers 3. The game is also
featured alongside Lethal Enforcers II in the two-in-one compilation Lethal
Enforcers I & II, released for the PlayStation in 1997.
Gameplay:
The player takes control of a police officer named "Don Marshall", who has been
assigned to stop a growing crime wave that puts the city's security in jeopardy.
Lethal Enforcers has five stages or 'assignments': 'The Bank Robbery', 'Chinatown
Assault' ("Downtown Assault" in Super Nintendo), 'The Hijackers', 'The Drug
Dealers' ("The Gunrunners" in Super Nintendo), and 'The Chemical Plant'. During
each stage, the player must shoot the armed criminals without harming any innocent
bystanders or fellow officers. The innocents often warn the player of their
presence with a plea of "Don't Shoot!", "Help Me!" or "I don't wanna die." If the
player does hit one of them, the computer will issue an admonishment, "What are you
doing?!" with an incredulous, rebuking tone, and forcing a life loss, but no
removal of any special weapons.
One shot is usually enough to kill most enemies, announcing their appearance with
"You missed me!", "You can't shoot me!", "You can't kill me", and "Eat Lead!". At
the end of each stage, there is a boss that must be defeated in order to complete
the assignment. Bosses often shoot projectiles at the player.
The player's gun can carry up to 6 bullets. To reload, the player must aim their
lightgun away from the screen and pull the trigger. In case of the console
versions, if a controller is used, the player only needs to press a specific button
to reload.
At the beginning of the game, three to five life units are available. In the arcade
version, more can be purchased by inserting additional coins. Life units are also
awarded based on how many points the player scores while playing the game. Every
time the player is shot or an innocent person or officer is shot, one life unit
will be lost. The game ends when all life units are gone, but continuous play is
available.
There are different ranks that the player can attain, depending on how well the
player performs. The ranks are: Patrolman, Detective, Sergeant, Lieutenant, Captain
and Commander. When the game begins, the player's rank is Detective, and after each
stage the player will be promoted, provided they have not killed any innocents. If
the player has killed innocents on any stage, they will either maintain their rank
or will be demoted.
Additional weapons can be found throughout the game that will gives better
firepower: automatics, Magnum bullets, rifles, shotguns, grenade launchers and
machine guns. The grenade launchers and machine guns can each be used only once,
but the automatics, the Magnum bullets, the rifles and the shotguns can be reloaded
the same way as the regular gun. If the player is shot while they have one of those
weapons, however, they lose any special guns they have collected and will return to
the regular gun.
In the arcade version, a DIP switch allows users to set the game to "Arcade Mode"
or "Street Mode". In Arcade Mode, one assignment follows directly after the other
where, between each assignment, there is a target practice session where the goal
is to try to shoot all the required targets to improve the player's accuracy.
Street Mode gives the player a choice of which stage they would like to go to,
including a target practice stage.

Lethal Enforcers II: Gunfighters is a 1994 arcade game that takes place in the
American Old West. The object in the game is to shoot outlaws in order to eradicate
crime from a stereotypical Old West town. Like in the original Lethal Enforcers,
lives can be lost by shooting innocent civilians. The game was ported to the Sega
Mega Drive/Sega Genesis and Sega CD.
Gameplay:
Lethal Enforcers 2 has five stages: "The Bank Robbery," "The Stage-Holdup," "Saloon
Showdown," "The Train Robbery," and "The Hide-Out." During each stage, the player
must shoot the armed outlaws without harming any innocent townsfolk (unlike the
"bystanders" in the original 1992 arcade game) or fellow lawmen. One shot is
usually enough to kill most enemies. At the end of each stage, a boss that must be
defeated in order to complete the stage. Like the enemy bosses in the 1992 arcade
game, they often shoot projectiles at the player.
In the game, the player's gun (a six-shooter) can carry up to 6 bullets. To reload,
the player must aim his or her lightgun away from the screen and pull the trigger.
In case of the Sega console versions, if a controller is used, the player only
needs to press a specific button to reload.
At the beginning of the game, three to five life units are available. In the arcade
version, more can be purchased by inserting additional coins. Life units are also
awarded based on how many points the player scores while playing the game. Every
time the player is shot or an innocent townsperson or lawmen is shot, one life unit
will be lost. The game ends when all life units are gone, but continuous play is
available.
There are different ranks that the player can attain, depending on how well the
player performs. The ranks are: Posse, Deputy, Sheriff, Deputy Marshal and U.S.
Marshal. When the game begins, the player's rank is Sheriff, and after each stage
the player will be promoted, provided they have not killed any innocents. If the
player has killed innocents on any stage, they will either maintain their rank or
will be demoted. On the SEGA Genesis, your accuracy for each stage corresponds to
the rank you are given. 60%-69% will earn you the rank of Deputy. From 70%-79% is
Sheriff. 80%-89% is Deputy Marshal and 90% or above is U.S. Marshal.
Additional weaponry can be found throughout the game that will give the player
better firepower: 50 calibre sharps, rifles, double rigs, shotguns, gatling guns,
and cannons. The gatling guns and cannons can each be used only once but the other
four weapons can be reloaded the same way as the regular gun. If a player is shot
while he or she has one of those weapons, however, they lose any special guns they
have collected and will return to the regular gun.
In the arcade version, a DIP switch allows users to set the game to "Arcade Mode"

_________________________
Liberty or Death is a turn-based strategy video game for DOS, Super NES and Mega
Drive/Genesis released by Koei in 1993. Liberty or Death is part of Koei's
Historical Simulation Series.
Gameplay:
The player can choose to control any of six Commanders-in-Chief, three each on the
American Continental Army or British Army sides, during the American Revolutionary
War.
For either side, the general objective is to eliminate all enemy troops throughout
the Colonies by defeating them in battle. The strategies used to accomplish this
change are based on which side you have chosen to play: the American side needs to
hold out against the British and slowly gather its strength, while the British need
to fortify their existing positions and quickly move against the Americans.
The gameplay focuses mainly on the military aspects of the conflict, but
relationships with civilian, and particularly political, entities are of vital
importance as their approval determines the budget for military spending, and in
the worst-case scenario, they can vote for your ouster as C-in-C. Very historically
accurate, the game faithfully reproduces the strategic situation of the war as well
as many historical figures in great detail.
This game is known among players for its thoroughly researched historical detail,
great complexity, level of difficulty, and the immense amount of time it takes to
complete one game (similar to the experience of other Koei games). One could easily
spend upwards of 250 hours on one game and might still be defeated in the end. The
user interface showed many improvements over previous Koei games, including mouse
support. The game can be played in one-player mode, two-player mode, or with two
computer-generated players.

Lion King II
Media: Cartridge
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Platformer
Gametype: Pirate
_________________________
First of all, you should realize that this game has NOTHING to do with the movie's
direct-to-video sequels! In fact, apart from directly ripping the main protagonists
character sprites from The Lion King, this "sequel" has next-to nothing in common
with the official game! That doesn't mean that it is without any entertainment
value, however.
Lion King II opens up with a nice little sequence showing a grown lion and its cub
running toward the player along the Great Wall of China. This little intro alone
looks pretty nice, but also gives a first hint of the qualities and oddities that
this game contains. While the sprite of the cub is directly taken from the fourth
level of the original, the accompanying sprite of the grown up lion is completely
new and it doesn't look half bad! While certainly looking decent, especially for a
pirate Genesis title, the whole scene however raises the first two questions.
Number one: What is Simba doing in China? The level cards confirm that this is in
fact supposed to be the Great Wall what gives? And second: Who are these lions
supposed to be? Are those Simba and his father, Mufasa? Or is it a grown-up Simba
and a cub of his own? Pondering these questions while looking at the nicely-done
title screen, however, will not in any kind prepare you for what the game entails.
The game stretches over five levels, all distinctly set in China. While this makes
for a rather short game, each level comes with its own surprises not generally
expected from an unlicensed platformer. The first level, for example, contains a
short trip on a tiny raft over a river basically just a moving platform, but a
nice touch nonetheless. Level four is a maze that urges you do find the correct
path through several doors, which you can only pass once you've eliminated all the
enemies in the room. The fifth and final level is actually auto-scrolling, urging
you to avoid obstacles and adding a little extra pressure to the gameplay. All this
is actually nicely done, and the diversity definitely raises the game's fun factor.
The gameplay itself is pretty different from the original. You start out as little
Simba as you make your way through the levels. However, gone are the original's
Lion Roar or the ability to roll. Also, better not try jumping on enemies, as each
direct contact will now hurt you. So how does little Simba defend himself? Well,
even though the programmers directly ripped the character sprite from the original
game, they actually went and tinkered a bit with it, adding some new animations and
giving little Simba the ability to slash at enemies. The rest of the game, however,
completely detaches itself from its licensed predecessor enough that one might call
this game Lion King in Name Only and it makes the Chinese setting, odd as it may
be, only a side note in all the strangeness going on.
For example: The enemies Simba is confronted with are odd the first level throws
weird teddy bear-like creatures or green monkeys at you. And why does the fifth
level feature floating propeller-platforms sporting a Swastika? Strangest of all?
As you start out as a small lion cub, each time you pick up a Star, your character
turns into the big Simba sprite! While such power ups aren't too uncommon (like
Mario turning big each time he picks up a mushroom), it seems pretty out of place
when this character is supposed to be the Lion King of Disney fame! Being hit once
makes the character turn back into a lion cub. Apart from growing bigger and thus
gaining a slightly bigger reach for swatting enemies, this feature doesn't affect
the rest of the game at all. It's just weird.
Overall, it makes for a short, but nice little game. There is just one really big
problem with it: It appears to be broken in a very strange way. I don't mean the
fact that sometimes Simba might fall through solid ground or hang from invisible
ledges which is annoying, but doesn't happen too often. Whenever you're being hit
by an enemy, though, the life bar doesn't register it. The game acts like you were
hit, including throwing you into a short period of invincibility, but it doesn't
matter. You're not completely invulnerable, however, since spikes hurt you as
normal, but even then, though they deplete your energy and you die, you still don't
get a life subtracted. This seems to be a common phenomenon in every version of the
bootleg I've encountered so far, and the same bug has been confirmed by others who
own it. It seems to be an oversight on the programmer's part.
The fact that you can't really die, combined with the shortness of the entire
affair, makes for a very easy game that can be easily beaten to enjoy the fireworks
afterwards.

Lion King III
Media: Cartridge
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Platformer
Gametype: Pirate
_________________________
Even though Lion King II was plagued by an invincibility bug, it has gained a
certain popularity and is often sought out by people venturing into the pirate
market. Which might have been a contributing factor in why another Lion King game
found its way into existence. While acknowledging its predecessor by calling their
creation Lion King 3, whoever created this game decided to forfeit the setting and
feel of the other unlicensed, trying to be closer in spirit to the original game
instead. Lion King 3 heavily borrows elements, sprites and animations not only from
its two prequels, but most of the enemy sprites come from a completely different,
unexpected source: Donkey Kong Country! While that one seems to be a surprise at
first, these enemy types actually make the game feel closer to the original Lion
King than to its successor. Some more enemy types, like the chameleons or the
porcupines, also found their way back from game one.
Furthermore, the game utilizes remixed versions of the original soundtrack for its
stages; a nice touch especially when hearing it for the first time around. However,
these remixes are rather short and, being stuck in an infinite loop per level, can
become pretty annoying after a while. Anyhow, all these revisions, as well as the
overall feel of the game, give the impression that this third release was created
by entirely different people.
The star that turned little Simba into big Simba has also been removed from this
"sequel." Instead, you can select the lion of your choice at the very beginning and
complete the game either as lion cub or as adult lion. There isn't any difference
between those two other than the looks, though. Also, for some levels the character
sprite of Simba Jr. has a strange purple tint to it, which makes it seem as though
something went wrong during the porting and inclusion of the sprite. Interestingly
enough, the character has the right color scheme during the intro.
Yet another staple that was missing in Lion King II but found its way back from the
original are boss fights. Even though Lion King 3 consists only of five rather
short levels as well, in levels two, four and five you are faced with a special
foe. These three characters actually seem to be specifically created for the game,
although their designs differ greatly from another. The level two boss, a bear,
seems to have strangely contorted extremities and moves in a weird manner,
seemingly floating through the air when attacking. The boss patterns are simplistic
at best, which is at least counteracted by strong randomization. You can never
count on whether a boss enters the screen at the same spot he left, which can make
the battles rather confusing affairs. With a fair amount of patience, however, none
of these fights turn out to be too hard.
The biggest change which distinguishes this Lion King from the other two is the
inclusion of a ranged attack for the lions. After collecting certain icons strewn
throughout the five stages, Simba can fire some sort of shockwave to attack enemies
from across the screen by swatting the air. While it is rather odd to make it
possible for a lion to basically shoot at enemies, it strangely fits into the game
rather well. Besides, if one did readily swallow that the movie wanted us to
believe that an ostrich would willingly let a lion cub ride on its back, I readily
suspend my disbelief when it comes to a lion attacking scorpions with some sort of
sonic boom.
While not exactly a hard affair either, or even a long one (it also contains of
only five levels) this game is a tad less entertaining than the second part. It
just doesn't seem as fresh and lacks a certain originality compared to its
predecessor. It also contains an auto-scrolling level itself, but while the one in
Lion King II was rather colorful and with nice scrolling, in Lion King 3 this level
turns into an ugly mess, urging you to make lots of blind jumps that more often
than not end nowhere and result in the loss of a life pretty irritating.
Furthermore, compared to Lion king II, which only had one major bug (the life bar
issue), Lion King 3 suffers from several minor issues. Pretty often you need to
swing from a peg, but clipping and collision detecting issues make these swings and
jumps very random and irritating. You'll find yourself falling past a peg one time,
and clinging from an empty spot in mid-air instead... or falling to your death
altogether.
Dropping through solid ground or enemies hanging in mid-air also happen quite
often. It is still a nice platformer, though, and unlike its predecessor completing
the game actually poses a challenge since you can lose all your lives in this one.
The first three levels shouldn't pose much of a problem, but once you reach the
auto-scrolling level 4 you're likely to run through your lives in no time.
A Pirate in Disney's clothing
Now, do these games reach the entertainment value of the original licensed game? Of
course not, but that wasn't to be expected. Keep in mind that while the original
Lion King was created by professional studios with enormous financial backing and
highly qualified programmers and artists, these Chinese hacks were usually created
in a rush by rather young, inexperienced programmers that probably weren't all that
familiar with the console to begin with. These games don't enjoy quality assurance
or intensive playtesting, so unfortunately, they tend to be buggy. Just don't try
to see them as legitimate sequels just because they use the Lion King likeness in
that regard they come off as abominations, and Disney certainly would never allow
them to exist officially. But nevertheless, these two games, despite their flaws,
are actually quite enjoyable.
The second one especially has some nice original touches to it, and with a lot of
imagination the third actually has some sort of cheaply made knock-off sequel feel,
like a direct-to-video half hour spin-off sequel of the original feature film. They
may not exactly be diamonds in the rough... but sometimes, rhinestones can also be
pretty.

This sequel to Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge is again a behind-the-car viewed racing
game. It takes in eight distinct circuits, adding surface and weather effects such
as desert and snow. Later in the game, you must race through two-way motorways with
oncoming traffic, (incorporating civilian cars and trucks), and face tough levels
aided by speed and time boost pick-ups.
You are no longer racing directly against other cars or over laps; instead, racing
is on time as you have limited time to reach each checkpoint. Reaching each of
these extends your time, and any remaining time is turned into bonus points if you
successfully complete the track.
You have two cars at your disposal, which the game chooses automatically for each
level, hence the loss of the word 'Esprit' from the title. The Lotus Esprit form
the original is joined by a Lotus Elan convertible, which is slower but has better
grip.
You can play through the set of tracks either full-screen or in split-screen mode

Magic Bubble
Region: Unlicensed (China)
Media: Cartridge
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Puzzle
Release Year: 1993
Developer: C&E
Publisher: C&E
Players: 1
_________________________
C&E is a company you may have heard of before. It developed the RPG Beggar Prince,
which was re-released by Super Fighter Team in 2006. For the NES, it made Mermaids
of Atlantis, a game that was later licensed out and reworked into Bubble Bath Babes
- a pornographic and ultr@ r@re unlicensed NES game. But, C&E wanted a decent
version of the game, so it made a 16-bit version itself. It was for the Sega Mega
Drive of course, and the game was this time called Magic Bubble.
The story involves a mysterious nacre who creates magical bubbles of different
colours. They can release oxygen to the creatures of the sea, but only if four of
the same colour are grouped together. "The naughty bubbles" refuse to do that
because an evil goddess controls them. However, YOU can use your control to prevent
this and have the creatures of the sea get their precious oxygen.
If you have played any game from the Puyo Puyo or Columns franchises, then there
should be no trouble for you to play Magic Bubble. Four bubbles of up to five
different colours float upwards. Have four of the same colour link to each other,
and they will disappear. What makes the gameplay much harder than, for example,
Columns is that the bubbles don't continue to rise if there is space between them
and other bubbles or the top. Instead, transparent bubbles take their place. They
are hard to remove, but one solution is to sneak the regular bubbles inside them,
when possible. The bubbles come in odd formations, making it challenging to flip
them and putting them at the right spot. But that is mostly just part of the fun
for me. Like in most of these kind of games, the game ends when the entrance for
new bubbles is blocked.
There are three modes of play. In Type A, for every two hundred bubbles you pop the
level changes, which means the bubbles will rise faster from now on. Occasionally,
bubbles with the letters M, A, G, I and G come individually. When all of them are
popped, you get a magic, which lets a nice fish pop all transparent bubbles for
you. There might also come a shining bubble, and if you pop that one, you will
reach a simple bonus level. After many levels, the game ends. In Type B, there is a
shining bubble at the top. Your aim is to pop that bubble in order to beat the
level. This type is a lot harder than the previous one, simply because there is no
magic and you play against time. You might recognize it from other puzzle games.
Type C is a versus mode, against the computer or your friend. Your play area here
is smaller to fit both opponents.
After twenty bubbles popped, you get an attack. The attack moves your top two rows
of bubbles to the field of the other player. The attack system doesn't work too
well. It might lead to an attack war between the two players, so you have to be
strategic when to use them. This mode consists of up to five rounds. I highly
prefer the calm and easy gameplay of Type A, but Type C with a friend is a nice
alternative if you've gotten tired of Puyo Puyo. All in all, I would say Magic
Bubble suits well to pick up a rainy day where you want something only a little
tricky for your mind.
C&E put a lot of care into the design of this game. The fish and other creatures
that roam around the screen when you play are not just made up by the designers.
No, they exist in reality and look very well drawn and animated. C&E even consulted
an expert advisor for this. The rest of the graphical content isn't much to talk
about. The bubbles look like you would expect them when you play, and that is just
fine. There is also an introduction screen with some dancing bubbles which is
mildly amusing.
I really like the music in Magic Bubble. It consists of soft, calm piano ballads
that sound both happy and sad at the same time for some reason. There is a special
feel to the music that fits perfectly for the aquatic theme. For an unlicensed
game, the sound production is far better than for example the load of GEMS crap
that plagued the console. There are some voice samples which are of average quality
for the console in mind. For the sound effects, there isn't anything special. I
just hate the "attack" sound in Type C, it is so irritating.
Magic Bubble is a nice little game. While it isn't too original, at least it has a
very atmospheric audio-visual appearance that boosts the experience of it. There is
not a lot of content, where the half-assed graphics take the biggest hit. But then
again, what can you expect from a puzzle game? Three modes, four difficulty
settings and two player option is well enough to grant this a purchase, especially
when the game is fun to play. Unfortunately, it comes in a cardboard box which is
quite ugly and might be in very bad shape if you manage to find the game. Even
though it was completely in English, tracking it down in the western world is still
very hard. Let's hope Super Fighter Team re-releases the game with the few
enhancements it needs so everyone can get some bubble love!

I've lost my marbles. Well, play this game and you'll never lose them again. This
rolly polly puzzle game will have you playing for hours, just moving your marbles
around on raised platforms, ramps, and tubes.
This game is the remake from the NES game Marble Madness. The interface was pretty
much the same, although the graphics and music are much better in that there is
more detail on the marble and the course, not to mention that the music is more
grooving than the 8-bit sound from the NES game. This game is a fun way to spend
hours just rolling around the puzzle course trying to get your marbles in the hole.
Directions:
Move your marble around with the directional pad to get it to the goal at the end
of the course. However, due to the angle of the view the directions are front,
back, left and right rather than up, down, left and right.
Or, if you switch the Control to Grid Mode, the directions are all set to
diagonals, which just makes things confusing and difficult, so don't do that. The
course is laid out with arrows that help direct you to the end.
If you fall off the edge or into a pit of spikes, your marble will die. Don't
forget there are other things to worry about than just ramps and falls, you also
have to worry about other marbles, jumping tubes, and other enemies trying to stop
you. Don't die too many times or the game will be over.

Marko's Magic Football
Region: USA
Media: Cartridge
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Platformer
Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1994
Developer: The Kremlin
Publisher: Domark
Players: 1
_________________________
Colonel Brown, the evil owner of a toy factory, has created a substance that can
turn people and animals into mutant sludge monsters. When Marko's football comes in
touch with the substance it gets magical powers, giving Marko the power to stop
Colonel Brown.
Now Marko has to find his way through numerous platform levels filled with enemies
and obstacles. Using his magic football, he can perform various moves and attacks.
He can kill his enemies with different kicks, header shots or even bicycle kicks
and also use his ball as a trampoline.
The SNES version features two additional moves for Marko (the ability to balance on
the ball and a different method of returning it to him), but they do not have a
great impact on gameplay.

Marsupilami
Region: USA
Media: Cartridge
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Platformer
Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1995
Developer: SEGA
Publisher: SEGA
Players: 1
_________________________
Based on the character developed by Belgian cartoon artist Franquin, this platform
features the player controlling Marsupilami, a strange animal with a large tail,
who was poached along with Bonelli the Elephant from the Palombian jungle by Bring
M. Backalive and sold to a Circus. Seizing the opportunity when the animal trainer
fell asleep, Marsupilami got the key using his long tail and released all animals,
and with the help of their Palombian friends No?, Bip and Sarah tries to return to
Palombia.
While it might seem a typical platform game at first sight, it includes a twist:
Instead of dozens of enemies, Marsupilami has to guide Bonelli through gaps and
other obstacles (not much different than the Earthworm Jim levels where Jim has to
steer Peter Puppy to safety), by shaping his tail intro stairs, bridges or an
umbrella, but to do so, he must first collect an icon with the abilities required
to complete the level, up to four on each. Always available is the ability to shape
into a giant fist not only to swat guards and other enemies away, but also to
change Bonelli's direction. The player also collects fruits along the way, which
not only provide extra points at the end of the level, but can be dropped out to
slow down Bonelli. Each level is timed, so the player can't make many mistakes,
even if some time bonus items are occasionally available.

Master Of Monsters
Region: USA

Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1991
Developer: OperaHouse
Players: 1
_________________________
Master of Monsters is a turn-based strategy game in which you choose one of five
different wizards and fight the other wizards for domination of the land that
stands without a ruler after the master wizard's death. You can play in two
campaigns against the computer which requires you to defeat the enemy wizards on
all maps and allows you to take all units that have survived a battle into the next
one. You can also play all maps individually with up two four human players. In
battles, you can summon different monsters and cast spells. Which monsters you can
summon and which spells you can use depends on which wizard you have chosen. Your
aim in every battle is to defeat all other wizards and thus conquering the land (In
the campaigns you only have a limited number of turns to do so). Your wizard and
monsters gain experience from fighting and your monsters' abilities differ largely
from one-another. For example some monsters can execute long-range attacks, some
have strong magic attacks but are physically weak.
Furthermore, their movement is affected by different terrain types. While flying
monsters can move freely, most of the other monster have a preferred terrain type
(lizards move best in water etc.). You can summon up two 30 monsters per battle,
but how many monsters you can summon each turn is not only determined by the amount
of MP, but also by the number of towers that you control, which makes conquering
and defending towers a key-element in battles.
Trivia:
Master of Monsters is in fact a fantasy spin-off of Systemsoft's more successful

Daisenryaku series, with military units replaced by monsters and cities replaced by
warlocks and towers.

A follow-up to the original Math Blaster! games, Math Blaster: In Search of Spot is
an educational title with arcade elements designed to help students learn maths
while having fun.
The game allows students to practice basic addition, subtraction, multiplication,

and division skills in addition to fractions, decimals, percents, estimation, and
number patterns. The subjects can be practiced separately or together in review.
Six levels of difficulty are provided. Like the previous titles, the game also
includes an editor to create new problem sets (present in the PC version only).
Math Blaster's friend and assistant, Spot, is kidnapped by the evil Trash Alien at
the beginning of the game. The Galactic Commander gives Math Blaster the mission to
follow the Trash Alien to his home planet and rescue Spot.
The game starts with a complete mission (story mode). The mission consists of a
series of four (three in the console versions) math activities (mini-games) strung
together with cut-scenes. The activities can also be played separately, for
practice or for score.
The activities are as follows:

Trash Zapper - Solve equations to gain tractor beam power, then use the tractor
beam to collect space trash.
Number Recycler (PC version only) - Create equations by pushing around columns of
numbers and operators. Correct equations allow you to turn the trash you collected
into fuel.
Cave Runner - Use Math Blaster's jet pack to fly through a cave. He has a number on
his chest, and it must be arithmetically between the numbers on each side of an
opening in order for him to pass through. Droplets of water falling from above can
change this number by performing an operation on it. There are also gems which can
be collected for bonus points, and in higher levels, monsters appear that can knock
Math Blaster down.
Math Blaster - The Trash Alien's spaceship displays an equation, and the four
portholes serve as multiple-choice answers. Use the jet pack to fly into the
correct portholes while avoiding floating trash and energy blasts from the ship.
Bonus gems also appear at random, and after five problems a bonus round occurs
where players get a chance to collect as many gems as they can within a time limit.
Upon finishing the complete mission, the player is presented with a certificate
that can be printed out (PC version only). Their final score is also added to a
high score board for their account.

The story takes place in 1999 where a Bio-Beast by the name of Godkaiser Hell has
reigned supreme over Earth, after a nuclear and biological holocaust has disfigured
most of the population and formed an army called the Steelmask Force. The survivors
have fled underground and are constantly attacked by the Bio-Beast horde until one
day a scientist by the name of Dr. Kabuto creates a mech, the Mazinger-Z, that can
be used against the monsters. This is where the player takes control of the games
protagonist and pilots the suit in an attempt to reclaim the Earth.
The gameplay is a hack-n-slash game, where the player controls the suit by using
the D-pad and using the face buttons to slash at enemy monsters. There is also a
Super Attack that the player can use, but it will decrease their health after each
use. The enemies consist of mutant animals such as dogs and beetles as well as the
Bio-Beast soldiers that can range from regular soldiers, female fighters and even
ninjas.
There are five levels in all (Tokyo, Asia, Europe, New York and Egypt) divided into
three stages with a mini-boss and a main boss the player must defeat to advance to
the next level. There are also items scattered throughout the levels that will give
the player extra points, health refills, an extra life and even a brief stint of
invincibility.
Hints:

_________________________
BOOM! Here it is! This frantic arcade classic is a guaranteed blast. Bomb your way
around scrolling mazes collecting power-ups in search of the magical locket. Or
plug-in up to 4 Players to unleash a hugely addictive blast-a-thon of multiplay
mayhem!
--from the back cover of Mega Bomberman for Genesis
The game intro shows the Earth being broken into five pieces. The point of the game
is to gain pieces of medallions by defeating all enemies in every world. When you
collect all the pieces, you then fight a boss (by blowing him up, obviously). When
you defeat him, that slice of the world will return to where it should be.
The graphics are fun and bright. This is much more fun to look at than the original
Bomberman, though perhaps a bit more difficult to control. The music is more
sophisticated than the original Bomberman as well, but I must say I loved that
corny old music. Still, this music isn't bad.
Directions:
This Bomberman is very different from the original. You get harder baddies,
kangaroos to ride on, bosses, and if you have any blocks left that could have been
blown up at the end of the stage you get 15 seconds to go collect the coins they
turn into (no worries, you don't have to make it back to the exit).
If it was a split level where you left one room and went into another but still had
the same time limit, you won't be able to go back and get coins from blocks left in
the other rooms. You can only collect coins in the room with the exit ramp. The
coins are worth 500 points a piece.
In addition to the usual Bomberman goodies (power-ups that give you more bombs,
bigger blasts, more speed, etc.) in this game you can find eggs. These strange,
differently colored little kangaroos come out of the eggs, and you jump on their
back. They allow you to do different things (being able to get hit once and only
lose the 'roo instead of a life is the handiest). Press the B button while on your
'roo to see what it can do. Some kick bombs and some kick baddies, but that's not
all they do.
As always, you can detonate your bombs remotely if, and only if, you have picked up
the power-up that looks like a heart with a bomb in it.
Blow up the grey globes on pedestals to break the glass covering the piece of
medallion. Run up the ramp and get it before time runs out. If you run out of time
you will have to start the level over (unlike the original Bomberman in which red
coins came out that were very hard to kill or avoid). Also unlike the original
Bomberman, you can bomb the exit without consequences (no harder enemies will
appear) and the only bad thing that happens when you bomb a power up is it
vanishes.
Play with friends and blow each other up!
Controls:
A Button: Remote Detonate Bombs

B Button: Use Kangaroo Power
C Button: Place a Bomb

Hints:
Can't get out?

In the third stage of the very first world, you may find yourself stuck. The exit
can be very difficult to spot. The exit is located in the top portion of the right
arm of this cross-shaped stage. It's a slightly darker round area in the jungle
around you. When you go through, there's more of Stage Three on the other side!

This is the original Bomberman game for the Genesis. According to Eidolon, Factor 5

favor of licensing a local Japanese company instead.
Eight players on the Genesis is impressive enough, and the trademark frantic
gameplay is still there! This game's a riot! Compared to this, Mega Bomberman seems
rather stilted and awkward.
Trivia:
Also known as the Bomberman Eight Player Hack. I also note in passing that although
it was never commercially released, this "ROM" demo is still covered by Hudson's

Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1994
Developer: Factor 5
Players: 1
_________________________
Mega Turrican is a 16-bit shooter game, developed by Factor 5, and marketed in 1995
by Data East. This game of the Turrican series was initially designed for the Mega
Drive/Genesis, and later followed by an Amiga port under the title of Turrican 3.
However, despite not being the original, the Amiga version was the one that was
first commercially released in 1993, published by Rainbow Arts in Germany and
Renegade in Europe. The Mega Drive version didn't have a publisher and stayed
unreleased until 1994, when Data East carried over its worldwide distribution. Data
East itself released the game in North America, and contracted Sony Imagesoft for
its distribution in Europe.
The Mega Drive version of the game was rereleased on the Wii's Virtual Console
service in Europe and Australia on March 22, 2008 and on April 14, 2008 in North
America.
After many generations of peace, the Dark Forces have assembled again, and as Bren
McGuire, a member of the USS Freedom Forces, it is your job to defeat them once
again. In the future, mankind will have to deal with many powerful alien species -
not all of whom will choose to be friendly. That is the reason behind the Turrican
suit - a one-man set of power armor that turns any Earth Force soldier into a
nearly unstoppable killing machine.
Gameplay:
The player has to complete numerous large levels always searching for secrets to
pick up and enemies to shoot. To do this, you can pick up three different,
upgradeable shots: a "Multiple" spread gun, a more powerful, single-direction
"Laser" and a "Rebound", which fires shots directly up and down that travel along
floors and ceilings, while the main forward-firing shot is weaker. You can also go
into wheel-mode by pressing jump whilst holding down on the D-Pad (as long as you
have enough special energy) and use a rope. In wheel-mode, you are nearly
invincible and can lay mines or explore previously unreachable areas, a mechanic
similar to "Morph Ball" from the Metroid series and the "Spin Dash" from the Sonic
the Hedgehog series.
Development
The German magazine "Amiga Games" published a complete 6 part development diary
(The long way from Turrican 2 to Turrican 3) in 1992.
Factor 5 began the work on Turrican 3 for the Amiga right after Turrican II was
released in 1991. They had a working demo that already had some features from the
final game. However, around this time, the Amiga market was already in decline and
together with Rainbow Arts, it was decided to develop the game for the Sega Mega
Drive. The game was completely redesigned for the console and it was co-developed
by Factor 5 and members of Kaiko. Kaiko then approached Rainbow Arts and asked to
develop their own version of Turrican 3 for the Amiga. However, development on this
version did not get very far and was stopped after a short time. Development on the
Amiga version was restarted, this time as a conversion of the Mega Drive game. The
programming was done by Peter Thierolf, formerly of Kaiko (the company was falling
apart at the time).
Turrican 3 for the Amiga was finally released in 1993, and even though Mega
Turrican for the Mega Drive was finished earlier, its release had to be delayed due
to the fact of Factor 5 not having a proper publisher for it. Data East finally
published it in 1994.
The main differences between the versions are graphics (the 64 colours of the Mega
Drive version had to be downconverted to 32 for the Amiga) and sound (the Amiga had
the more advanced sound hardware and thus the music tracks sound more impressive on
it). The main gameplay difference is that a secret level in Mega Turrican became a
regular level in Turrican 3. In general terms, the game features much smaller
levels to the original Amiga Turrican games and has much chunkier sprites, but
compensates these with many new effects and graphical improvements, and a major
focus on shooting action. The lightning whip from the first two games is gone and
is replaced by a grappling hook.

Players: 1 or 2 VS
_________________________
MegaPanel is a 1990 Puzzle game produced by Namco for the Sega Mega Drive. It was a
Japanese only release.
Gameplay:
Overall at a quick glance Megapanel is similar to Tetris. The player must

reconfigure coloured blocks that slowly scroll onto the screen, for them to be
grouped in sets of the same colour, at which the blocks disappear and points are
gained. However there are some major differences that gives the game credibility
and separates itself out from been a "Tetris clone."
Instead of the blocks been made up of 3 or 4 squares arranged into various shapes,
they are all the same shape, a simple square. Their only variable is the difference
in colour. Much like some jigsaw puzzle games, there is one empty square on the
screen, at which the player can slide the blocks around one at a time in attempt at
getting them to be arranged into 3 colour long strings (vertically or
horizontally). The blocks themselves also appear as 1 complete row from the bottom
of the screen, rather than the top.
Like Tetris, the player attempts to keep the blocks from reaching the top of the
screen before the various required goals are achieved. If that does happen, the
player loses a life and has to start the level again. If the player loses all three
lives then the game is over.

Terrorists have their job and you've got yours: CRUSH 'EM ALL! They've kidnapped a
former President, and the MERCS are going in for the rescue. Punch through their
coastal defenses, snatch enemy weapons and gain firepower. Pick up machine guns,
bazookas and heavy artilery as you advance through the smoke of burning metal.
Power up a flame thrower, and good-bye, Charlie! Push through a non-stop barrage of
lead, grenades, heat seeking missiles and attack choppers. Hijack tanks and
gunboats. Shred 'em with their own weapons! They messed with your country - now
you're gonna make 'em scream!
Gameplay:
The Mega Drive port of Mercs featured two modes, an arcade mode, which mirrored the
arcade release of the game, where the player had one "Merc" (soldier) who could
pick up a variety of different weapons throughout the game; and an "original" mode,
which included multiple playable characters, each with their own unique weapon. In
both modes, the aim was to fight through the levels, defeating each boss at the end
of every level.
Although the game is officially the sequel to Commando, the plot makes no
connections to the first game. The forthcoming Bionic Commando sequel identifies
the returning character of "Super Joe" (who was also the player's character in
Commando) as Joseph Gibson, the Player 1 character from Mercs, essentially tying
the two games together.

Mick & Mack As The Global Gladiators
Region: USA
Media: Cartridge
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Platformer
Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1992
Players: 1
_________________________
Global Gladiators (also known as Mick and Mack: Global Gladiators) is a 1992
platform game by Virgin Interactive, originally programmed by David Perry for the
Sega Mega Drive/Genesis and eventually ported by other Virgin Interactive teams to
the Sega Master System, Sega Game Gear and the Commodore Amiga. A Super Nintendo
port was also in development but was never completed for undisclosed reasons,
though a prototype exists on the internet. The game is loosely based on the
McDonald's fast food chain and has a strong environmentalist message.
A Gameboy port of the title was also fully developed (by Damian Stones, of Climax)
but was never released for the same legal reasons as the Super Nintendo port.
Gameplay:
In the single-player game, the player controls Mick or Mack through four worlds;
Slime World, Mystical Forest, Toxi-town and Arctic World. Each world has several
sub-stages where the character must collect a certain number of Golden Arches to
advance.
They are guided in their quest by Ronald McDonald, who appears at the beginning and
the end of the game. The characters are armed with Super Soaker-type gun that
shoots gooey projectiles.
The game engine is the same used in other Virgin Interactive games such as Cool
Spot and Disney's Aladdin, as all of them (Mega Drive/Genesis versions) were
handled by David Perry's programming team, which eventually turned into Shiny
Entertainment.
Hints:

Mickey Mania: The Timeless Adventures of Mickey Mouse
Region: USA
Media: Cartridge
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Platformer
Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1994
Publisher: SCEE
Players: 1
_________________________
Mickey Mouse gets a chance to go down memory lane and walk through the timeless
adventures he has lived. Mickey Mania is a platformer where all the levels are
based on Mickey's most famous cartoons. The levels range about 75 years, starting
off with "Steamboat Willie" and going all the way to "The Prince and the Pauper".
Gameplay:
Like many other games of its genre, the player takes the role of Mickey and
progresses through each level, defeating enemies in the way and solving the
occasional puzzle. Most enemies can be defeated by jumping on them or throwing
marbles at them. Frequently, the player must jump from platform to platform to
advance, sometimes with a time limit (such as escaping a collapsing tower).
Trivia:
The four versions of the game differ greatly from each other. The Super NES version
is missing the Band Concert level and the staircase sequence in the Mad Doctor
level, as well as a few special effects and some of Pluto's appearances. It also
adds loading screens between each area. In contrast, the Sega CD and Playstation
versions add a sequence near the end of the Prince and the Pauper level where
Mickey must find pencils to call the other Mickeys from the six main levels to
attack Pete, as well as giving Mickey extensive dialogue relevant to situations
throughout the game. The Playstation version, meanwhile, enhances the graphics and
adds a sequence at the end of the Mickey and the Beanstalk level where Mickey must
run away from Willie the Giant (Willie makes no appearance in any of the other
versions despite being mentioned in the manuals of all four versions).

Mickey's Ultimate Challenge
Region: USA
Media: Cartridge
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Puzzle
Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1994
Developer: Designer Software
Publisher: High Tech
Players: 1
_________________________
One night, as Mickey (or Minnie) lay in bed reading a book of fairy tales, he
started to wonder how it would be to live in a far off land, in a magic castle. As
he fell asleep, he woke up in the Kingdom of Beanwick, which is constantly
tormented by earthquakes. Then, he offers his help to solve the mystery behind
those earthquakes.
Mickey's Ultimate Challenge is a puzzle game in which the player chooses either
Mickey or Minnie to play with. They'll find five characters from the Disney's
universe in the kingdom, and will be prompted to help them in several tasks.
Each task is a different puzzle, given by a specific character. Daisy, for

instance, will ask help to clean the castle's paintings hanging on a wall. The task
is in fact a memory game, where Mickey or Minnie must clean the pictures matching
pairs. After completing one task, they'll receive a gift.
After completing all tasks, Mickey or Minnie must trade the gifts they won with the
right characters. For instance, after finishing Goofy's task, they will receive his
hammer. The player must then guess who among the other characters would like to
receive that hammer.
Giving the right items to the right characters will allow Mickey or Minnie access
to the last puzzle and character.
Gameplay:
First, you choose whether to play as Mickey or Minnie, and then you choose from
three difficulty levels. The player then learns of trouble in Beanswick. There is a
strange rumbling over the castle and no one can explain it. Mickey (or Minnie)
volunteers to investigate. He must go through a series of challenges in various
rooms of the castle in order to collect magic beans and items. These tasks can be
completed in any order, but all must be finished to beat the game.
Sorting Books
Books are floating up and down in the library of the Beanswick castle and Mickey
must sort them in alphabetical order by jumping on them. Depending on difficulty,
there are various numbers of books to be sorted and different patterns for the
books to float in. Only a portion of the alphabet must be sorted. Once the books
have been sorted, you receive an item.
Moving Potions
Mickey is transformed into a tiny size and placed on a chess-like game board.
Potion bottles are on this board, as well as block obstacles that must be
maneuvered around. The potion bottles are to be pushed into a magic mirror on the
board. In harder difficluty games, there are more boards to play in increasing
difficulty. Once all potions have been collected, you return to normal size and
receive your item.
Picture Matching
This is a timed, memory challenge. Mickey must dust off portraits hanging on the
castle walls in matching pairs. Basically, it's the matching card game. He must
complete this task before the lights in the castle dim to darkness. Depending on
difficulty, there are more or less pictures. For challenges with more pictures,
more time is given. He is armed with a feather duster and sliding ladder. Match up
all the pictures before time and light run out to receive item.
Playing the Pipes
This is a memory game. Several pipes light up and make different noises in a
pattern that builds every turn. Mickey must listen, remember, and repeat what he
heard. He can do this by jumping on the top of the pipes and playing the notes back
in the proper order. The pipes only play one melody, adding one note after every
time Mickey successfully completes the previous one. Difficulty of gameplay
determines the length of the melody. Play all the right pipes to receive the item.
Guess the Tools
Goofy wants Mickey to guess what tools are in his toolbox. Mickey has seven
attempts to successfully guess the tools and their order inside Goofy's toolbox.
After each guess, a clue appears telling you how many and which tools you guessed
in the correct order. In easier games, the tools turn red or green to denote
correctness. In more difficult games, a small quartered square of red and green
pieces tells Mickey which ones are right. Correctly guess what is in Goofy's
toolbox to earn your item.
Exchanging Items
This is the segue of the game. The items Mickey collected were of no importance to
their previous owners, but would serve useful to others in Beanswick. Mickey must
go back to all of the others in each challenge and give them the item that suits
them. In return for each correctly placed item, Mickey receives a magic bean. Only
after retrieving all five beans can Mickey use them.
Using the Magic beans
After returning the items to their respective owners, Mickey visits the well. The
annoying rumbling occurs again and Mickey throws his beans near the well. Suddenly,
a giant beanstalk grows straight up into the clouds. A curious Mickey climbs the
beanstalk into the clouds and encounters a giant. The giant is sound asleep and
snoring. This massive snoring is the cause of all the trouble for Beanswick. There
is a scrambled picture of an alarm clock floating next to the giant. Mickey must
unscramble the picture by sliding the pieces and wake up the giant. After Mickey
wakes up and talks to the giant, the troubles in Beanswick are solved.
Trivia:
Mickey's Ultimate Challenge's plot resembles bits of several fairytales, such as

Cinderella and Jack and the Beanstalk.
Because of its simplistic gameplay, graphics, and lack of depth, this has been
noted as one of the worst games made for Super NES.

Micro Machines on the Genesis was the same as it was on the NES, except the

biggest difference was that you got to choose your own opponents. There were also a
lot of different vehicles you could race, instead of just cars. Micro Machines were
really big when I was a kid. I only had a couple, but a few of my buddies had a

This entry in the Micro Machines series flirts with a military theme. Using a top-

Up to 16 players can participate through the hot-seat party mode, but 8 racers can
race simultaneously using the J-Cart and by sharing a part of the joypad. There are
different game types, such as regular races (challenges), time trials, and battle
arenas, in which you have to survive for a set amount of time while enemy vehicles
charge. Other players can be shot to slow them down.

Monopoly

Genre: Board Game
Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1992
Publisher: Parker Bros
Players: 1 to 8 VS
_________________________
Parker Brothers' MONOPOLY Real Estate Trading Game was presented to Parker Brothers
during the Depression by Charles B. Darrow of Germantown, Pennsylvania. Darrow had
made the first games by hand, given them to friends and sold a few through a
Philadelphia department store. But as demand grew, he could not keep up with the
orders and arranged for Parker Brothers to acquire the rights to the game in 1935.
Since then, it has become the leading proprietary game not only in the United
States but throughout the Western world. It is published under license in 32
countries and in 23 foreign languages!
This Sega Genesis version of the MONOPOLY game conforms to all the rules of the
board game and some of the rules used in tournament play. The beauty of this
version is that the system acts as the Banker and takes care of all the accounting
and money management tasks - which speeds up play and prevents mathematical errors
in the High Finance Department!
Note, too, that we've created a special series of 12 Wheel and Deal Preset Games.
These four-player game setups assume you have already acquired certain properties
and assign all players a certain amount of cash, which varies from scenario to
scenario, so you can "cut to the chase" and begin the game at the high-stakes
trading level. You may also create your own preset game by selecting "Options";
this way, you decide who gets what.
--From the Genesis Monopoly instruction manual.
Overview:
It was the worst of times, it was the worst of times. The Depression was still
rolling on and what game did people love? That's right, one about tossing poor
people into the streets. Nothing like "Fuzzy Bear brings Christmas Cheer to the
Forest". Nope, nothing about lovable and generous neighbors harvesting your wheat
for you. No, this game was about grabbing all of the gusto and chunking little Miss
Maybell, the beloved elderly school teacher, out in the cold on her wrinkly butt.
So if you are looking for a game with love and compassion, don't play Monopoly,
play Resident Evil.
Excellent graphics, sounds and game action. Not much more to say, the computer game
plays like the board game. One major problem is that if you make a mistake playing
against the computer, you cannot undo it. The computer will blissfully move along
ignoring all of your protests.
The great difference between playing the board game and the computer version is
that even Charles Manson can play. "Friends? We don't need no stinking friends". So
like Solitaire and Pro Basketball, you can play the game alone. Not that you have
to. I mean, you can always invite Britney Spears and Lyndsay Lohan over for a
spirited game. I do it all the time. Of course I end up playing alone against the
computer. As you are likely to, also.
Directions:
Most of the choices that you make will have prompting on the screen telling you the
appropriate buttons to select.
If you press the C Button to bring up the Main Menu, you will be asked which player
you are. Choose the appropriate player with the D-Control and press the "A" Button.
The Main Menu displays Buildings, Mortgages, Trades, Deeds and General. Select
which one you want.
When you land on a piece of property, you can buy it or put it up for auction. If
you put it up for auction, the Auction Screen opens and you have a chance to bid
against the other players in the game.
To see what everybody has: property, cash, "Get Out of Jail Free" card, press the B
button on your turn.
To get out of jail, you can chance rolling doubles on your turn or press the C
Button to bring up the Main Menu. From the Main Menu, select the "Get Out of Jail"
option to either use a "Get Out of Jail Free" card, if you have one, or to pay
$50.00 if you don't.
Trading:
The process of trading can appear to be complex but actually isn't. First choose
the Main Menu with the C Button, and then naturally select "Trade" with the D-
Control and the A Button. Using the D-Control, point the Rich Uncle's hand towards
your player and then select Property or Cash. Then using the D-Control and the "A"
Button, choose the properties that you want to trade and/or the amount of cash that
you are offering (D-Control UP or DOWN allows to change the cash value). If you are
playing against the computer, you must do the same for him. Then move the Rich
Uncle's hand to your Accept and push the A Button. If trading with a human player,
they would do the same. If playing against the computer, he will evaluate the deal
and accept it or refuse it. The computer is not stupid, so don't expect to get any
easy deals.
Buying Houses or Hotels:
Press the C Button to bring up the Main Menu and choose Buildings. Choose buy
houses or hotels. The screen should then allow you to scroll to the property that
you want to place the buildings on. Then you should be given a screen allowing you
to choose the number of houses to buy.
Selling Houses or Hotels:

Similar to Buying House or Hotels except it is a buyer's market; you sell at a
great loss.

Monster World IV
Original title: Monster World IV
Media: Cartridge
Controller: Gamepad
Release Year: 2001
Players: 1
Translated by: DeJap Translations, Neo Demiforc
Version: 1.02
_________________________
This is a sequel to Wonder Boy 5: Monster World 3. You control Asha, the green-
haired girlfriend of Shion, the hero of the previous game. One day, Asha was
standing on a cliff near her home village, and suddenly heard a mysterious voice
calling for help. She decided to leave the village and to embark on an adventure to
discover the identity of this mysterious person.
Monster World 4 is essentially a platform game, with slight RPG/adventure elements

(puzzles, treasure, equipment, etc.) Asha can jump, run, attack or defend (by
pressing the "down" button). She can also use items and equip weapons and armor,
talk to people, and open treasure chests. Later in the game, she will also be able
to use magic, and a little blue pet animal will assist and help her on her journey.
The combat system is very similar to the classical Zelda style. Health and mana
points are measured in little hearts, and the more you progress in the game, the
more hit points you gain.
The game was released only in Japan. It is sometimes erroneously called "Wonder Boy
6".
What do you all think of when you think of Sega games? That's right, you think of
Wonderboy, because the Wonderboy games kick ass. All of them. Even Wonderboy in
Monsterland. And Monster World 4 is no different.
Some people have told me that Wonderboy and Monster World are two completely
different series, but they sure as hell play the same to me, so nyah. Anyway you
play a cute girl with green hair, and you walk around and kill stuff. It RULES. And
it's really really pretty, especially for such a crap system as the Genesis. Or the
Mega Drive, whatever. It just rules, dammit. Go play. Enjoy. Hit Up to talk to
people. Use the crystal DIRECTLY in front of the statue. And thank Demi for this
kickass translation, which is now free of bugs. No more goddamn flickering.
Kickass? Yaya.

Mortal Kombat
Region: USA
Media: Cartridge
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: VS Fighter
Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1993
Publisher: Arena
Players: 1 or 2 VS
_________________________
An evil wizard by the name of Shang Tsung held a tournament for the 7 best fighters
he selected. Only the best fighter can succeed! But is Shang Tsung someone to be
trusted? Play and find out for yourself! Oh, and did I mention all the blood?
Gameplay:
The game was a response by Midway to Capcom's successful Street Fighter II, which
spawned a number of fighting games. However, it used a distinctly different
fighting system from the Street Fighter formula, which was used in all subsequent
sequels until Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance. The controls consisted of five
buttons arranged in an "X" pattern: a high punch, a high kick, a low punch, a low
kick, and a block button, as well as an eight-way joystick.
If the two fighters were standing next to each other, hitting any of the attack
buttons would result in a modified strike: a low punch turned into a throw, a high
punch turned into a heavy elbow, head butt, or backhand, and either kick turned
into a knee strike. Crouching and hitting high punch resulted in an uppercut, which
was the most damaging attack of the game. Jump kicking and crouch-kicking were
executed in a similar fashion to Street Fighter, although leg sweeps and roundhouse
kicks were performed by holding away while pressing the appropriate kick button.
The blocking in Mortal Kombat by itself greatly changed the flow of fighting in
comparison to contemporary games which used Street Fighter conventions. Characters
do not block while retreating or crouching, but only block when the block button is
pushed. Even then, characters take (reduced) damage from any hit while blocking.
However, successfully blocking moves is simple - a crouching block can successfully
defend against all moves, even aerial attacks such as jump kicks - and blocking
characters give very little ground when struck rather than sliding backwards. This
style of blocking rewarded dodging to avoid damage but also made counterattacks
much easier after a successful block, and the ultimate result was an environment
which rewards a more furtive playing style than contemporary games.
Each of the seven playable characters move and fight in the exact same fashion,
which led to complaints that the characters lacked distinction. However, each
character's moves differed in their hit detection, speed, and damage. For example,
Kano's crouching kick dealt more damage than other characters' crouching kicks,
while Raiden's jump kick had a longer range than other jump kicks.
The game retained a similar scoring system (based on successful hits, the Test Your
Might minigame and other bonuses) to those games; this would be dropped in later
entries to the Mortal Kombat series in favor of counting wins.
Another of the game's innovations was the Fatality, a special finishing move
executed against a beaten opponent to kill them in a gruesome fashion. For example,
Sub-Zero would grasp a defeated opponent by the head, then rip out the head and
spine while the body crumpled to the ground in a pool of blood.
Mortal Kombat also introduced the concept of juggling, an idea so popular it has
spread to many games and even other genres. Juggling takes advantage of the fact
that when a character is knocked into the air, that player is unable to control his
or her character and is still vulnerable to other hits, until he or she lands and
gets up again. The idea behind juggling is to knock the enemy into the air and then
follow up with other combat moves to keep them there. Theoretically, one could
juggle one's opponent to death without ever taking damage, though this was
difficult to accomplish in practice. In early versions of the game, juggling was
extremely easy because the physics caused characters to fly upwards when hit; by
version 5.0, however, characters reacted with somewhat more realism, and also fell
more rapidly with successive hits, effectively limiting juggles to 3 hits under
normal circumstances.
Mortal Kombat also changed the way special moves were performed. Street Fighter
(and many other fighting games) performed most special moves in fractions of
circles (usually full, half or one-quarter) on the joystick followed by a button
press (such as a quarter-circle forward + punch). Mortal Kombat was the first to
introduce moves that did not require a button press (such as tap back, tap back,
then forward), and only a few of the special moves required circular joystick
movement. Finally, Mortal Kombat was the first versus-fighting game to feature a
secret character: Reptile.
Directions:
You can fight through a ladder of opponents such as any fighting game today. There
is also a VS. mode where players 1 and 2 can go at it! Choose from these seven
characters: Liu Kang, Johnny Cage, Kano, Sonya Blade, Sub-Zero, Scorpion, and
Raiden! When the person's health is really low, try to use a fatality!

_________________________
This one is definitely the oddest of them all. Mortal Combat 5 (as it reads on the
title screen) is an attempt to re-create the Playstation game Mortal Kombat
Mythologies on the Genesis. All sprites in this game have been ripped out of
previous Genesis Mortal Kombat games (I assume Ultimate MK 3 was used). You control
Sub-Zero and battle through sprite-swapped variations of Kano, Sonya or Liu Kang,
running through levels which are visually designed to resemble their Playstation
counterparts. The backgrounds constantly repeat themselves, which makes the maze-
like design of the stages irritatingly hard! Also, there are a lot of cheap
instant-kill deathtraps in this game that increase the insane base difficulty even
more (the difficulty settings in the option screen seem like a bad joke). However,
this game is strangely compelling, so you keep playing nevertheless even though you
know it'll only frustrate you.
In theory, the whole thing is rather short and incomplete (it apparently ends
abruptly after stage four), but it certainly doesn't feel that way!

Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1991
Developer: Innerprise Software
Publisher: Tengen
_________________________
The Pacman series is a monster in the classic video game world. It started a new
genre when it came out in Japan in 1979. Most games coming out at the time were
either space shooters or pong-like sports games. This new genre appealed to both
males and females. This made it so popular, it inspired more than thirty officially
licensed sequels, numerous bootlegs, home-brews, and clones, a plethora of
merchandise, a top forty pop song, and even an animated series. This addition to
the series came from an unofficial bootleg called Crazy Otto. Fearing a lawsuit
from the Namco, Midway signed the rights to them and Ms. Pacman was born.
It plays just like Pacman, except it has different mazes and the bonus items move
around the board. It was a lot of fun to play! The graphics were great, and so were
the sounds and controls. The different difficulty levels made this game pretty
interesting, too. If you put the difficulty on crazy, it was just that. Everything
would be moving so fast, I don't think there is a human that could keep up. Another
cool thing about Ms. Pac-Man was the addition of the story scenes. As you play
through the game, you will see scenes of Mr. and Ms. Pac-Man meeting, falling in
love, and getting visits from the stork. When you beat the game, you get to see all
the kids running around. This game is a lot of fun, and if you are a Pacman fan,
you will go nuts over this game!
Directions:
Eat all the dots in the maze. There will sometimes be fruit that you can eat for
bonus points. Avoid the ghosts. If one touches you, you die. When you eat the big
dot, you are able to eat the ghosts during a short period of time.
Once that time is up, it's back to them getting you! They added a Pac-Booster to
this game, which was cool. It made you go faster. In the options you could set it
to be on when you hit one of the buttons, or you could set it to be always on or
off.
The object is to get as many points as you can, but you actually can beat the game.
After you beat the last level, a cute little animation will be your reward.
Controls:
D-pad: Choose direction

A, B, or C Button: Pac-booster (when activated)
Start Button: Pause
Hints:
- Easy Levels -
If you put the maze selection on mini, the levels will be smaller and therefore

Muhammad Ali Heavyweight Boxing
Region: USA
Media: Cartridge
Controller: Gamepad
Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1992
Players: 1 or 2 VS
_________________________
Muhammad Ali Heavyweight Boxing is a boxing video game that was developed by Park
Place Productions and published by Virgin Interactive in 1992. It was released for
the Sega Mega Drive / Sega Genesis console.
The game features Muhammad Ali, and 9 fictional heavyweight boxers. The game uses a
mixture of 2D sprites and 3D ring to allow boxers to move 360 degrees about the
ring.
In career mode, the player can choose to fight as any of the game's 10 boxers. They
start at rank 10 in the heavyweight division, and fight their way through all the
others in order.
Gameplay:
During fights, available punches to be throw include jabs, hooks, crosses and
uppercuts. In simulation mode it is possible to choose to throw any type of punch
with either hand, whereas in arcade mode, the player chooses which type of punch to
throw and the Megadrive determines which of the boxer's fists is the most
appropriate to throw it. Defensive manoeuvers include blocking and clinching. The
more punches a boxer throws, the less damage their punches do.
The game can be played in either arcade or simulation mode. Many in-game features
are customizeable, including ring length, number of rounds, and the length of time
a boxer must be floored to be classed as knocked out.
The visuals of a fight are made up of 2D sprite-based boxers, and a simple 3D

rendering of the ring. The boxers' sprites include views of them from a side-on
position, and from viewpoints that show them having turned a small distance
clockwise or anti-clockwise around the ring. As a boxer attempt to moves around the
ring, the appropriate series of sprites are shown, which works to give the illusion
of them turning about (or attempting to).
Blood effects simulate the cuts that boxers sometimes suffer during matches.
However, the effect is wildly exaggerated in the game, so that huge splashes of
blood can sometimes be seen flying off a boxer's face. Blood stains remain on the
ring floor for the rest of a match; combined with the amount of blood that comes
out of fighters' faces, this often leads to much of the ring being covered in it by
the end of a match. The damage received to a boxer's face is shown by close-up
pictures that are shown between rounds. Such images show wounds such as bloody
noses or black eyes. Such wounds start off semi-realistic, but after sustained
punishment, often develop into wildly exaggerated versions of the kind of injuries
boxers suffer- in the later rounds of a fight, boxers' faces will sometimes be
ripped open by so many large, gaping cuts that they are practically unrecognisable
as human beings, let alone individual boxers.
Rather than providing an accurate representation of reality, the game's sound

effects reflect an attempt to make the game more exciting by exaggerating the
impact force of punches. The effects for hard punches, in particular, sound
extremely forceful, being more reminiscent of a car door being slammed shut than
boxing-glove covered fists impacting with another person.
The game featured digitised speech effects for the introduction of fighters,
knockdown counts, and the announcement of the outcome of a fight. It is also one of
the few boxing games to depict an in-game referee.
While after each fight, judges' scorecards are shown for each round, these almost
always have no bearing on who the winner is. This is because the winner is decided
solely by whichever boxer lands more punches in a fight. The only occasion these
scorecards decide an outcome is if both fighters land the exact same number of
punches during a fight.
Trivia:
The in-game boxer, Bruno Franko, is a play on the name of real-life heavyweight
boxer, Frank Bruno.

Release Year: 1991
Developer: Dreamworks INC.
Publisher: Taito
_________________________
Mystical Fighter is a beat 'em up game. This game is known in Japan as Mao
Renjishi. Mao literally means demon king in Japanese.
The story, designs, and characters are base on Japanese mythology. Like in most
scrolling fighters, the player (who controls a kabuki) can use combos, flips and
swings fight against tough opponents. There is also a timed limit, usually about
forty seconds, for the player to finish the stage. If the time reaches zero before
the player passes the stage it results in a defeat. Similar to Golden Axes the
player can use a special magic power, but instead of bottles the player must
manually pick up scrolls. The more scrolls the player has the stronger the magic
attack will be, however if the player chooses to use this attack all the scrolls
will consumed.
Gameplay:
Despite the time limit the player will spend most of the time mashing mainly the A
and B button while fighting three to five opponents at in time. There are also
hidden bonus stages that can be accessed if the player approaches certain doors or
rooms. These bonus stages depend on which level they are located in and contain
either magic scrolls or items to increase the character's health bar. The boss
fights are often easier than regular enemies. There are also traps and holes that
both the player or the enemies could fall in if they are not careful. The traps and
pits do not always hinder the player, and in fact can be beneficial if the player

_________________________
This sequel to the popular NBA Jam doubles the number of NBA players and secret
characters, so you can now make substitutions after every quarter. Nine new earth
shattering dunks have been added to the lineup and a battery will save your
records, ranking and winning percentage against the 27 featured NBA teams. Perhaps
the biggest additions are the Hot Spots option, which places random circles on the
court with different point values, and Power-Up Icons, which will temporarily
affect a player's abilities. Otherwise, it's the same two-on-two dunk fest as the
original.
For those unfamiliar with NBA Jam, the action is played from a horizontal view of
the court as you control one player on offense. The object is to score as many
points as you can while trying to prevent the other team from doing the same.
Controls on offense consist of a passing, shooting and turbo button, while defense
replaces the shooting button with a jump. By pressing the turbo button, players can
not only move faster, but perform special moves such as acrobatic dunks or gravity
defying jumps. Grab up to three friends and everyone can play at the same time with
an adapter!

The fourth and final game in Electronic Arts' NBA Live series on Genesis features
new team and player practice modes, trades based on player ratings, and a computer-

game's 29 teams and 300 players have also been updated to reflect their actual
abilities during the 1996-97 season, and the NBA season schedule mirrors the one
used during 1997-98.
Returning to the game are both three-on-three and two-on-two half-court modes as
well as the option to create, edit, or trade players. Four custom teams are also
available, and players can compete in individual three-point and shoot-out contests
apart from the main action. The game is still played from a three-quarter
perspective with TV-style updates that display the score as well as individual
statistics during each quarter. Notable moves include reverse layups, alley-oops,
spins, crossover dribbles, and baseball passes.
Up to four players can participate in an exhibition, season, playoff or practice

game on one of three difficulty levels: rookie, starter or all-star. Options
include adjustable quarters (from three to twelve minutes), a choice of an arcade

_________________________
Newman Haas Indy Car is, as the name shows, a racing game endorsed by the CART
racing team of the same name and their top driver at the time, Englishman Nigel
Mansell.
The player has the option to drive a single race (where the option to practice is
hidden) or go for the crown against 12 other drivers in 15 tracks (with some
variety, not only ovals) across North America, with the season opener in
Queensland, Australia. It is possible play solo, with a friend in split screen or
with split screen against the computer, and if music or engine sounds are played in
the race. A key choice in the game is selecting between Arcade and Simulation mode
- in the later, the car can take a lot less damage before giving up, fine-tuning
must be done by the driver and rules are enforced, under the risk of a
disqualification.
Graphically, the game is less sterile than most driving games of the platform (and
in 16-bit consoles, generally), thanks to the inclusion of several polygonal
buildings scattered around the circuits.

NFL 98, Sega's final football game for the Genesis platform, uses the same engine
as found in Prime Time Football starring Deion Sanders. Updates include player
statistics and ratings based on the 1996 season, the ability to play a full 1997
schedule, Practice Mode, adjustable artificial intelligence settings, and the
option to view both instructions and rules of play within the game.
The most notable new feature is customizing how either the computer or your team
plays in the following areas (from zero to six, with six being the highest): player
speed, speed burst effect, dive effect, defensive tackling, offensive fumbles,
blocking, pass accuracy, aggressiveness, cause interceptions, pass deflections,
pass interference, CPU kick accuracy, kick meter speed and injuries. Besides the
different settings found within the Rookie, Veteran, All-Pro and Hall of Fame
difficulty levels, you can save up to four custom settings per team.
All other features are carried over from 1995's game, except for the option to play
multiple season schedules. Players can still adjust game time (5,10 or 15 minute
quarters), weather, field conditions, and even choose their own playbook from any
team in the game. Speaking of which, 30 NFL teams are included from the 1996
season, as well as both AFC and NFC Stars, NFL All-Pros and six regional teams
featuring stars organized by where they went to college.
Complete roster management lets you organize your team as you see fit, including
trades, substitutions, signing or releasing fee agents, and creating new players.
Battery backup will store your season in progress, allow you to create and save up
to 15 user records, track each team in 42 different categories and individual
players in 32 areas. As in the previous two Sega football games, NFL 98 uses a
vertical view of the field that will zoom in for a closeup once the ball crosses
the line of scrimmage.

Electronic Arts' longstanding hockey franchise comes to a 16-bit end with NHL 98,
the seventh game released in the Genesis series. While the same engine found in
both NHL 96 and NHL 97 is used in this game, there are a few new features that set
this title apart from the rest. These include the following: three different game
speeds to choose from; a two-line pass rule; a "Coaching Style" menu allowing
players to apply one of five strategies (offense, defense, balanced, all-out
offense or all-out defense) to different lines; updated team rosters to reflect the
1997 season; player ratings based on the 1996 season; automatic goalie switching;
and enhanced penalty awareness.
Returning to the game are 26 NHL teams, two All-Star squads, and three National
teams (United States, Canada and Europe). Battery backup will track statistics,
season progress and All-Time Records in thirteen categories, including "Most
Breakaways," "Fastest Goal" and "Best Shooting Percentage." The seven game modes

- Play with man advantage -

This code only works when you play against the computer, and they only have 2
active goalies. First, you must injure the opponents starting goalie. This works
best by running into him many times. It would be helpful to turn penalties off, so
you don't get called for interference. Once he is injured, score enough goals for
the computer to switch goalies. When this happens, one of their defensemen will be
the goalie, but he won't be replaced. The game still treats this as even strength,
so icing still applies.

Timing smiled on Gremlin with this licensed Formula 1 simulation, as Nigel's long

laps.
Before each race you can customize wing downforce, gear ratio, tyre selection and
fuel load choices - pitstops are a standard feature of the longer races. The 16-bit

of Nigel's head appears in the top corner of the screen, offering instructions and

Ninja Gaiden
Region: Prototype (Japan)
Media: Cartridge
Controller: Gamepad
Gametype: Prototype
Release Year: 1992
_________________________
This version is an extremely loose translation of the original arcade game, and not
a particularly good one. Like all side-scrolling beat-em-ups, it requires a lot of
repetition and button-pounding in order to succeed.
This one was actually news to me until very recently. It was never released in the
U.S., but oddly enough, almost all of the in-game text is (extremely bad) English.
The plot is completely different from the original NES game, and Ryu is a less
likable character. He's been sent by his ninja master to America in order to hunt
down a fellow ninja who has betrayed his clan and stolen the "Secret Scroll of
Huma" (or Homa, depending on the given moment in the game).
Not much of a plot, and not really much of a game. Much like the original arcade
game, it gets tedious and boring rather quickly. The arcade game, however, had cool
moves like the Phoenix Backflip and the ability to hang from overhead bars and
swing. Ninja Gaiden for the Genesis offers no such respite from the tedium. The
graphics are passable for the less-than-spectacular capabilities of the Genesis.
There were several other games which had much better graphics and gameplay.
This one probably stayed in Japan for a reason... worth a play or two if you can
find it, but not worth any significant amount of money. If you're looking for a
good beat-em-up on the Genesis, go get a Streets of Rage game.

_________________________
Based on the 1994 film of the same name (which starred Ray Liotta), No Escape drops
you smack dab in the middle of Absolom Island, a multi-complex penitentiary known
for its life sentences and the short life expectancy of its inmates. It seems you
murdered your commanding military officer while you were in a dream-induced fit of
rage.
You have heard through the grapevine that there is a place on the island called the
village. The village is where the civilized inmates live. You want to go there at
all costs, because it is your only hope for escape.
You begin the game in the thick of the jungle with nothing more than the clothes on
your back and your years of combat training. You must run fast and avoid as many
hazards (falling bags of sand, bursts of hot steam, spears in the ground, tree
limbs and the like) as you can along the way. While you are on the run, Tree
Dwellers, Techno Warriors and other prison thugs will come after you with darts,
blowguns, knives and other weapons. Fight them off and avoid their fists and
weapons.
Throughout the game there are more than 150 objects for you to find, including an
engine distributor, a hacksaw, tin snips, a rusty compass, shafts of wood, bolts,
butane gas, an empty butane lantern, bulbs and an iron crowbar. Many of the objects
can be combined to create new weapons and tools, such as a crossbow, sticks of
dynamite or woodwork tools.
A mapping system lets you enter the next destination you would like to explore. The
village is a temporary safe haven where you can gain information and trade for new
objects. The other four locations are filled with traps and enemies. Each of the
sectors has multiple sub-sections to explore. Only when you have successfully
completed a sub-sector can you move onto the next sub-sector in that area.
Trivia:
Released in 1994, the action/prison film No Escape starred Ray Liotta and Lance
Henriksen.

Developer: Koei
Publisher: Koei
Players: 1
_________________________
When Japanese leader Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa fell from power in 1467, it
basically left Japan without a central government. This lead to a war amongst
Japanese fiefs (states). Each fief was ruled by a powerful lord called a daimyo.
Each daimyo believed he was the most qualified to be the new Shogun. The war lasted
for more than 100 years. Nobunaga's Ambition is based on these events. As a daimyo
in this Warring States Period of Japan, it is your job to unify all the fiefs into
one sovereign nation. In the first scenario, you must unify central Japan, which is
composed of 17 fiefs. In the other three scenarios, the Japanese nation is divided
into 50 fiefs, all of which must be conquered.
After you have created a name for you daimyo and chosen your home base, it's time
to get to work. Prior to setting out to conquer other territories, you should
fortify your home base. This involves cultivating your land, protecting it against
floods, and winning the approval of your people. To gain loyalty amongst your
population, you should pay your people from the gold you collect from your rice
crops. You should also use your gold to hire soldiers.
Other factors important to winning the war include the age, health, drive, luck,
charm, and intelligence of your daimyo. Among the ways you can add or subtract to
these attributes are by winning battles, conducting successful negotiations, and by
earning the loyalty of your people. Fief conditions also apply. You must ensure
that your fief has an ample supply of gold, rice, productivity, wealth, men,
morale, skill, and arms.
When confronting the surrounding fiefs, you can send a ninja to spy on them, attack
them outright, or sign a non-aggression pact. Other things you can do in this game
include marrying another daimyo's daughter, bribing rival fief's peasants,
borrowing money, deploying troops, and staving off peasant uprisings. The game is
over when your daimyo dies from illness, old age, or battle wounds.

As a highly respected warrior, you are attempting to conquer as many regions as
possible. This is a three-stage task, as first you must fight through hordes of
fighters simply to reach the castle, and then you have to climb the various
sections of the castle, before battling with its existing inhabitant.
The bulk of the game is side-scrolling platform hack 'n' slash action, with mines
to avoid on the route. You can collect a number of spells, and select them using
the function keys. Your physical and mental energy are measured separately
throughout the game, and must both be kept high.

One day, Osomatsu's five brothers went missing. The mischievous Iyami, of course,
must be behind this! With great haste, Osomatsu grabs his slingshot, and sets out
to rescue his brothers and give Iyami a taste of his own medicine.
Osomatsu-kun: Hachamecha Gekijou (Nonsense Theater) is a side-scrolling action

platformer based on the manga and anime created by Fujio Akatsuka, which plays
similarly to Alex Kidd. The player controls the titular Osomatsu through
outlandishly Japanese environments, fighting bizarre enemies, collecting ribbons to
buy various items from hidden shops, and searching for his missing brothers. Each
stage is made up of multiple areas; falling into holes in the ground leads to
underground passages, and jumping onto flying shells leads up into the clouds. A
boss waits at the end of each stage, usually just Iyami in some sort of strange
disguise.

_________________________
As you wheel your speedy Ferrari along winding roads, huge bolts of lightning arc
brilliantly across the sky. You put your lead foot all the way to the floor, and
your car moves effortlessly across the slick highway. Slowing down for the turn,
you skid into the parking lot of the lab. You are Lester Knight Chaykin, cool
scientist extraordinaire.
After passing the standard series of entry tests, you are given the high level of
clearance necessary for entry into the lab. With a loud sigh, you collapse into the
comfortable plush computer chair and flick on your trusty computer. Opening a can
of soda, you take a huge gulp as the machine loads up. With the swiftness that only
years of experience can bring, you type in commands and begin the nuclear
experiment. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning surges into the lab and collides with
your experiment, winking you out of existence.
Seconds later you find yourself sitting in your chair, submerged in a pool of
water. You feverishly swim toward the surface as tentacles (!) reach up for you.
After a narrow escape, you climb out of the water and look around. You are greeted
by an entirely new environment, one of strange animals gone mad. A blood-curdling
howl cuts through the silence, and you scramble to your feet. Where are you? You
are out of this world.
The action in Out of This World for the Genesis will have you walking, kicking,
swinging, ducking, running, jumping, shooting and battling your way through the
strange new world in order to get back home. Elevators and transporters can be used
to reach different locations of the game. You must solve a variety of puzzles and
avoid a number of pitfalls and traps along the way.
Trivia:
The original Out of this World game was released to the PC in 1990. The Genesis
version is a straightforward port.
Out of this World was one of the last commercially released games for the Apple
IIgs. The port was written by Bill Heineman, who also was responsible for the SNES
version (both the IIgs and the SNES share the same main processor). If the screen
size was reduced, the game ran extremely smoothly on a stock unaccelerated IIgs.

_________________________
Mindscape developed this game hoping to get it licensed as an official Mad Max
game, however Warner Bros never made this happen. Anyway, the game closely
resembles "The Road Warrior" (Mad Max 2). Your objective is to drive your car
through the wasteland, trying to survive motorcycle gang members' attacks and to
avoid running out of gas.
The gameplay is a split of two genres: racing and side-scrolling. In the racing
parts you have to destroy enemies like motorcycle gang members, gyro-copter
captains, red trucks, etc. Your car has a machine-gun installed in its front, and
if some guy drives along side of you, a little window pops up, allowing you to
shoot them with your shotgun.
Along the road there are several towns, and every time you pass through one of
them, an alarm will warn you. As your gas run low, you have to stop on these towns
and refuel your reserves of gas and ammo. When doing so, the game turns to a side-
scrolling perspective, as you get out of your car, dealing with your enemies in
hand-to-hand combats. In the cities you'll also find new equipment to your car,
such as missile launchers, nitro, etc.

Release Year: 1993
Developer: Sims
Publisher: SEGA
Players: 1
_________________________
Out Run 2019 is a Sega Mega Drive/Genesis-only pseudo-sequel to Out Run that takes
place in the future. The object is to race against time in a rocket-powered car
(with a maximum speed of 682 mph) across five different stages around the world.
Like the original Out Run, there is a fork in the road before each checkpoint;
however, there can also be forks within a single route.
Out Run 2019 featured four different stages to race across, each one harder than
the last. Like in Out Run, at the end of every route, there will be a diverge
between the next two routes. Also, throughout most of the stages, some routes will
diverge, splitting into two different roadways. Usually, some of the roads will
lead onto a bridge over ground, and in some cases, over water. Slipping off the
bridges will cost the player precious time.
Sometimes, when the roads split, they will lead to a different kind of road. This
is usually seen by means of a three-way diverge sign, which means the player can
choose whether to go left, right, or continue forward. For example, on one route in
Stage 4, some parts of the road are covered in wet cement. Another features the
player driving into a tunnel. The last will lead the player over a bridge.
Finally, there are also secret diverges that can be spotted easily. For example,
some areas will have a ramp placed strategically on one side of the road. If hit
correctly, the car will fly to one side, and eventually land on a secret roadway.
Also, jumping off these ramps can also lead up to overhead bridges on some routes.
These secret roads can usually lead to a quicker way to the next route.
Trivia:
Out Run 2019 was originally being developed for the Mega CD/Sega CD as Cyber Road.
Development was later moved to the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, where it was renamed
Junker's High before eventually becoming Out Run 2019. In 2005, Out Run 2019 was
re-released as a TV Games device - Play TV Legends Outrun 2019 from Radica Games.
One notable thing about it was the included steering wheel controller.

OutRunners is a sequel to the classic arcade racer OutRun. It puts you behind the
wheel of 8 different race cars with the aim being coming up first on a world-wide
cross-country racing tournament.
As mentioned you get to select from 8 differently tuned cars, each with different
handling and speed specs. and then ride out in hopes of getting the trophy. At the
end of each stage you get to select between different branching routes that
determine what your next stage will be, and thus the different routes you take to
the end game determine what ending you get (if you manage to beat the other
players).
OutRunners places a big emphasis on competitive gameplay as you are always racing
against another car, be it an AI or human-controlled one in a perpetual split-
screen multiplayer mode.
Trivia:
The arcade original featured up to 8 simultaneous racers by linking four 2-seater

cabinets.

Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1993
Developer: Namco
Publisher: Namco
Players: 1 to 2 VS
_________________________
A combination of Pac-Man and Tetris, Pac-Attack mixes the ghost-gobbling action of
the former with the falling block puzzle aspects of the latter. Your job is to
maneuver the blocks into lines so they will vanish from the screen. Ghosts also
fall from the top of the playfield, getting in the way of the solid lines you are
trying to form. Luckily, Pac-Man accompanies the falling blocks from time to time,
allowing you to maneuver him into a position to munch the ghosts.
Similar to Tetris, the Normal mode of play in Pac-Attack continues until the blocks
and/or ghosts have stacked up to the top of the playfield. Each ghost Pac-Man eats
adds a little gold to the Fairy Meter. When the meter is full, a fairy jumps onto
the screen and throws a gold dust spell, effectively removing all the ghosts below
it. The 2 Player VS Game features head-to-head, split screen action. Here the
winner is the player who lasts the longest in two out of three rounds.
Gameplay:
In the Puzzle game you complete a level when you have gotten Pac-Man to eat all of
the ghosts. If all of the ghosts have not been eaten after a certain number of
blocks and ghosts have fallen from the top of the screen, you lose. You can retry
each of the 100 levels again and again, and a password feature lets you save your
progress.
Hints:
Enter password JFK, and you get the game ending as well as the credits.

Everyone's favorite yellow chomping circle of a being is back and upgraded in Pac-
Mania. Just as in the 1980 classic, you control Pac-Man through a maze as he
attempts to gobble up all of the onscreen pellets before a ghost captures him.
As one might expect from a sequel released seven years after the original, there
are several new features in Pac-Mania. Right away you'll notice that what once was
a 2D maze with 2D characters is now 3D in both respects with a diagonal tilt. Also,
you now have the ability to jump over the ghosts in your way, some of whom will
tail you ruthlessly.
The cast of ghosts includes those from Pac-Man and 1982's Ms. Pac-Man -- Clyde,
Inky, Pinky, Blinky and Sue -- as well as Funky, a new character blessed with the
ability to jump like Pac-Man. Instead of just four ghosts as in the orignial,
expect up to six of them onscreen at once, each with his or her own personality.
If things get too hairy, keep in mind that each corner of the maze houses a power
pellet that will enable you to turn the ghosts into your next tasty treat. Its
effects only last a few seconds, though, so make the best of this time. Other
delectable edibles include green power pellets (speed boost), red power pellets
(double points) and fruit (extra points).
Once all pellets in a level are devoured, you'll move on to the next, harder one.
But if you trust your skills, you have the option of starting as high in the game
as round four.

Players: 1 to 2 VS
_________________________
The first hoops game to appear on the Genesis, Pat Riley Basketball features two
modes of play: Exhibition and Tournament. You can choose from three game times (20-
minute, 48-minute and 80-minute), two game speeds (Normal and Slow) and two types
of defense (Man to Man and Zone).
Due to the lack of an NBA license, no real players appear in the game. Instead,
there are eight generic teams (such as the Los Angeles Hoops and the Dallas Wings)
with five faux players on each team. Players are rated according to speed, shooting
accuracy, passing ability and defensive skill.
Stats are kept for points scored, shots taken and fouls committed. In addition to
fouls, there are numerous infractions you can commit. These include out of bounds,
traveling, over and back, 5-second violation, 10-second violation, and 24-second
violation. There are no substitutions in the game (therefore no foul-outs), but you
can switch the positions of your players as needed.
During slam-dunks, free throws and three-pointers, the camera angle switches to a
graphically enhanced close-up of the action. To sink a free throw or dunk, you must
accurately stop a ball that moves on a meter bar. On defense, you can block shots
(including dunks) and steal the ball.
Trivia:
This game borrows heavily from Double Dribble (1987) for the NES. Pat Riley has
coached for the Los Angeles Lakers (where he won four NBA titles), the New York
Knicks and the Miami Heat. When not coaching, he is a highly paid motivational
speaker.

sand traps and other staples of professional golf.
Five gameplay options are available: Practice, Skins Game, Stroke Play, Match Play,

such as tournament scores, longest drives, putts per round and much more.
You can choose from 14 different golf clubs. If you need advice, you can rely on
your caddy to suggest the club with the most appropriate range. A power meter lets
you hit the ball at the desired strength and height, and along with your stance,
determines whether you will hit the ball straight, to the right or to the left.
Wind speed and direction and the lie of the ball are also things that you should
consider when preparing to hit the ball.
Other features in this game include instant replays, a leaderboard, green grids

Soccer, the most commonly played sport worldwide, has been brought to your living
room via Pele for the Sega Genesis. Pele, the one-named soccer phenom on whom this
game is named after, is widely considered the greatest of all time. You can play
Pele alone or with a friend in exhibition matches or in a tournament. By yourself
you can play in an 18-game season, or you can enter a practice mode, wherein you
work on the fundamentals of the game.
In the two-player mode, players must alternate playing one-player games until their
two teams are matched up. There are forty teams, each of them represented by
countries and cities from all around the globe. Features in this game that are also
part of the sport of soccer itself include free kicks, penalty kicks, replays,
roster substitutions, formation changes, goal kicks, throw ins, corner kicks,

_________________________
PGA Tour 96 represents a significant departure from previous games in Electronic
Arts's popular Genesis golf series. The links are now modeled in 3D, allowing for
visible slopes and varied terrain instead of the straight, flat courses in earlier
titles. A new swing meter replaces the tried-and-true horizontal bar, appearing as
a blue arc just behind your digitized golfer.
Once you press the button to begin the shot, a line will move up along the arc
simulating the natural motion of a backswing: hit the button again to determine
power and once more for accuracy. If you don't time the swing correctly, you'll
either hook or slice the ball depending on where the line falls on the arc.
The three authentic courses include the TPC at River Highlands, TPC at Sawgrass and
Spyglass Hill GC. Players can create their own golfers or elect to play as or
against one of ten different PGA Tour pros (with statistics based on the 1994
season): Brad Faxon, Fuzzy Zoeller, Craig Stadler, Jeff Sluman, Mark O'Meara, Davis
Love III, Bruce Lietzke, Tom Kite, Lee Janzen and Peter Jacobsen.
The five play modes consist of Tournament (against 56 additional roster players),
Match Play, Skins, EA Shoot-Out and Practice. Those who would rather get a feel for
the swing meter can also "visit" a Driving Range or Putting Green to work out the
kinks. Rounding out the package is battery backup to record statistics (both
individual and course), tournament progress and created golfers.

C Button: Open update box, open selection box, activate commonds in selection box
Hints:
- Become invisible -
In battle, get all of your team members KO-ed except for Nei. Then get Nei to cast
Nasak and she should KO herself. Then, your characters will turn invisible and you
can walk around dungeons freely.
(This works in all version of PS2)
- Make the game scroll one frame at a time. -

When paused, press C and one frame should go by.
- Slow motion play -

When paused, press and hold B and play as normal. The game should play very slow.
- Switch game music -

This trick allows you to have different music play in other areas, using the slow
motion code. First, you go to the area that has the music you want, like the
weapons shop for instance. Next, press start and hold B. The game will move in slow
motion with no sound, so you can still move. Now, then go to another place and let
go of B, then press Start. The music from the place where you first pressed B and
Start now plays in this area! Cool glitch!
- Equip armor glitch -

It is possible to have armor equipped even if it is not in your possession. First
make sure you have at least two pieces of armor in a characters possession.
1. Go to the equip screen and highlight the armor you want to keep equipped.
2. This is the tricky part...equip/unequip the armor...when it says ".....takes
armor" press a confirm button and then QUICKLY press down to the next armor below
it and equip/unequip that armor. You need to do it
fast enough so that you see only a little change in the attack,defense, and/or
agility from changing equipment.
3. You'll know if the glitch worked because you won't be able to unequip the first
piece of armor. Now you can give the armor to another character! Who says you can't
have powerful equipment like the NEIMET on just one character?
To cancel the glitch, simply equip another piece of armor over the affected armor
slot.
It may take a few tries to get the glitch working because the equipping/unequipping
must be done very quickly.
- No random encounters -
When examining the nearby area with the A (Talk, Examine) button, the next step you
take is guaranteed not to take you into a battle. Keep hitting the A button (Talk,
Examine) while you walk, so that after every step it will say ''There seems to be
nothing unusual here.'' No random encounters will happen, but it will take quite a
while to maneuver through dungeons this way.

_________________________
It's the day of your wedding, and everyone is very excited, not the least of which
is you. You're marrying Maia, the mysterious woman found on the shores of your
father's kingdom. Suddenly, a giant dragon swoops into the hall and takes flight
with your fiancee!
Being the noble prince, you give chase to rescue your beloved. Here starts your
journey into the savage worlds of Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom. Starting
as Prince Rhys, you must battle your way to save your beloved through seven
different worlds, and uncover a conspiracy far worse than you ever expected.
Spanning seven worlds, and three generations, you must find and confront this evil.
At the end of each generation, choose who you'll marry, and in turn get a different
quest. It's up to you to save the world, you and your following generations.
Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom contains four different endings for added
replay value, and numerous quests and challenges.
Hints:
- Improve late-game character stats -
A glitch in the game will allow you to make either Laya or Kara always act first in
battle and be immune to physical attacks, as well as moderately improve the speed
and defense of the rest of the party.
The glitch is activated in Skyhaven, when changing the Legendary weapons into Nei
weapons.
1. Decide who you want to always act first and be immune to physical attacks - Laya
or Kara.
2. Remove all items from that person.
3. Make sure everyone else has their appropriate Legendary weapon equipped (Orakio
Sword, Miun Claw, Siren Shot, Laya Bow, Lune Slicer).
4. Speak to the second from the left old man, who says "Nei is the word of ultimate
power".
5. Check your status screens. For the person who had no equipment, attack and
defense should be in the 64,000 range, and speed in the 220 range. For the others,
the attack, defense, and speed bonuses of the Legendary weapon they had equipped
will be permenantly added to their base stats. (Unfortunately, none of the
increases to the attack statistic have effect on damage dealt in battle).
The only way the person with 64,000 defense will be hurt is from a Gnasher (who
will do a whopping 4 damage) or from techniques (which are unaffected). She will
always act first.
There are 3 side effects which may appear alarming but are in fact harmless.
1. Colours will be unusual - this will be corrected once you check your menu and
leave Skyhaven
2. Last person in line will be shifted out of place - this will be corrected once
you leave Skyhaven, and the out-of-line person will not prevent you from moving
3. Characters will be renamed - this is permanent but harmless.
- Skip Nial's Generation -
An escapipe glitch allows players to skip over Nial's generation directly to

playing Aron. Aron will need to do some of Nial's quest, but it goes much faster
and easier with Aron, thanks to his healing and access to the Aero Parts.
1. As Rhys, before fighting the king of Cille, make sure Wren or Mieu has an escape
pipe.
2. After defeating the king, select Nial's route by marrying Lena. (Do not choose
Maia as the glitch does not work for Ayn.)
3. As soon as the cinema is over and you can move, go into your menu and use an
escapipe.
4. As Nial, you will warp back to Cille dungeon. Walk through it again (you will
encounter only Chirpers). The king and Maia are waiting in the same place as for
Rhys, defeat him once more (an easy task with full HP/TP and a stronger leader).
5. Select Aron's route by marrying Alair. (Do not choose Laya because Adan will be
unable to complete his quest.)
At this point you play as Aron. The Sub Parts, Laya Pendant, Twins Ruby, and
Mystery Star that Aron come with are "fakes" that do not work, so Aron will need to
collect the real ones as Nial would have.
6. Collect the Aero Parts as normal.
7. Fly to the rebel hideout and pick up the Sub Parts.
8. Go to Hazatak using the caves to Landen, Aquatica, then Aridia.
9. Get Laya as normal.
10. Go to Mystoke and get the Laya pendant.

From this point on finish the game as normal

When the central computer system of Palma, Mother Brain, exploded 2000 years ago,
the planet was destroyed. Other planets under the control of Mother Brain were
affected as well, including Motavia, home of Chaz the Hunter. The deterioration of
Motavia most notably included the creation of horrendous Bio-Monsters. As Phantasy
Star IV begins, Chaz is not aware that it is in his destiny to not only stop these
monsters -- but also to save the galaxy.
Though Chaz is the game's main character, he is by no means the only one. Many
characters are under your control in the game, up to four at a time in a single
party. Your quest involves performing many tasks for people in various Motavian
towns (and other planets later), learning more about a much larger quest as you go
along. There are several comic book-like cut scenes that evolve the game's story
(along with a fair share of plot twists). As the game progresses, the party will
encounter countless enemies, helping them to gain experience and thus become more
effective warriors. Chaz's specialty is with blades, but the eclectic abilities of
the other characters will enable you to use powerful magic and other weapons as
well.

occur. Instead of putting a level cap, when you reach level 99 all of your
characters will be leveled down to around 40~50. And everytime you should go up a
level, your character will go down another level. Although your stats screen will
still say you are level 99.

Rebecca Madison is lurking somewhere in Metropia. This is a problem. She is bent on
taking over the world, as so many evil characters are, but this time she has the
resources to do it. Rebecca is head of Maximum Incorporated, a business
specializing in biotechnology; a business specializing in death. As Kit Walker, aka
the Phantom, you must traverse over 60 levels spanning the city of Metropia to stop
her.
A map screen will let you choose a sector you want to explore, but don't expect a
safe trip. Armies of biots are programmed to attack you! The Phantom can scale
walls and swing from ceilings with his inductance rope, fire homing missiles from
his smart gun, and even drop special pellets that explode on contact.
There are 14 weapons and five items in total, and you have the ability to control
two weapons at a time. An inventory screen allows you to store all of the items and
weapons collected for later use. Phantom 2040 also features 20 possible endings
based on your performance during the game.
Trivia:
"Phantom 2040" is based on the cartoon series of the same name, which was an early
Batman Beyond-like adaptation of the classic Phantom character set in the future.
Created by the legendary Lee Falk and first appearing in february 17th, 1936, The
Phantom started his many adventures to rid the world from piracy and evildoers
following the footsteps of his ancient lineage as the 21st "Walking Phantom" in the
world. In practically no time Falk's newest creation rose to world fame under the
King Features Syndicate banner, which placed it in tons of newspapers around the
world (Falk was already a major-league player from his earlier success: Mandrake
the Magician, and thus commanded true star treatment from his publishers) and
remains to this day a well-known classic of comic book history.
The character also made the leap out of the comic books many times, with a
collection of 15 serials in 1943 from Columbia Pictures, an animated series in 1986
(along Flash Gordon and Mandrake) as well as a motion picture starring Billy Zane
in 1996 by Paramount (besides the aforementioned Phantom 2040 animated series which
had the particularity of being helmed by Peter Chung of Aeon Flux fame). So far

Hollywood studios, wrecking the sites of such movies as Pinkenstein, Pink Beard and
Cat on a Hot Pink Roof. While running scared through the movie sets, Pink Panther
must dodge or kill everything from rats to dinosaurs to animated cowboy boots.
Luckily, he's armed to the teeth. His arsenal includes a detonator, a fly swatter,
a sledgehammer, a can of bug spray and other useful weapons. Also, he can jump on
the various critters to get rid of them. To assist Pink Panther in his getaway,

Sid Meier's classic computer game Pirates! can now be enjoyed on the Sega Genesis
with revamped graphics and music in MicroProse's Pirates! Gold. The game offers you
the chance to play the role of a pirate in six different game scenarios or careers,
each beginning with a different time period in history.
Choose from the following: 1560s' The Silver Empire, 1600s' Merchants and
Smugglers, 1620s' The New Colonists, 1640s' War for Profit, 1660s' The Buccaneer
Heroes, or 1680s' The Pirates' Sunset. You can also select your nationality,
difficulty level and one of five special abilities your character will possess,
including fencing, navigation, gunnery, medicine, or wit and charm.
After typing in your family name, you'll have to first win a duel on board a ship
before you can start sailing from an overhead view of the Spanish Main. You're then
left to your own devices on how to play the game. Earn titles by fighting for kings
of different nations, battle ports, attack and acquire bigger ships, hire crew
members, sell goods or even search for buried treasure.
Besides starting a new career, you can assume command of one of six famous
expeditions, practice sword fighting or view the Hall of Fame of top pirates. Up to
four games can be saved to cartridge, so you can resume your buccaneering whenever
you feel the urge to pillage and plunder. Just make sure you have enough rations to
last your trip and gold to divide among your crew!

Pit-Fighter is a no-rules, unregulated fighting game which lets you control one of
three digitized fighters: Buzz, a body builder and former pro wrestler; Ty, a kick-

character has three super moves. In addition to fighting with fists and feet,
weapons such as sticks, knives, crates, and garbage cans are available throughout
the game. As you progress through the levels, you'll eventually face ten different
fighters, each of them with unique abilities and fighting techniques. The fights
take place in seven different areas: a warehouse, a garage, a subway station, a
high-rise building, a bar, a freeway overpass, and a wharf. Like most fighting
games, the one-player game is a series of one-on-one fights. The two-player
simultaneous mode, however, differs from the norm in that instead of fighting each
other, you and your gaming partner fight two of the bad guys. As the fights play
out, a crowd of anxious spectators cheer. If you get too close to the audience, you
get shoved back into the middle of the action.

Arrggh no! Nintendo's annoying electric mouse and his mates make it onto the

The Hong Kong Pirates have obviously spent a lot of time on this one for a change,
it has great graphics and above average level design, even if it does rely a little
too heavily on leaps into the unknown. Features all the usual platform game
elements and you can dispatch the other pok?mon by either jumping on their heads in
the usual manner or by lobbing the pok?balls you find scattered around the levels
at them. All the pok?mon are actually recognizable too although one or two do seem
to have been "borrowed" from other games, the bunny for instance looks very much
like it's been lifted straight from Mega Bomberman. They took the part about
Picachu being a mouse a little too seriously though because when he turns to face
you he sports the most amazing set of teeth, even Bugs Bunny would be jealous. You
can bet if Nintendo know about this games existence that they're not very happy.

invasions all play a key role in how the player progressed through the game. Two-

Genre: Shoot 'em Up
Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1992
Developer: Teeny Weeny Games
Publisher: Arena
Players: 1
_________________________
In this game based on the 1990 movie starring Danny Glover, you play the role of
Lieutenant Michael P. Harrigan as you investigate the strange murders in the city
of Los Angeles. Adding to the difficulty is the ongoing war between Colombian and
Jamaican gangs, not to mention reports of some peculiar creature hanging around the
area...
Predator 2 is an angled overhead shooter consisting of seven levels. The first

level has you blasting gang members while making your way through the urban streets
trying to find nine hostages. After rescuing the downed officers, find the exit and
you'll be taken to the rooftops to fight it out with armed helicopters and even
more gang members. Rescue fourteen hostages and you'll be able to progress to the
next level.
Subsequent levels all involve rescuing a certain number of hostages while fending
off the repeated shots of rival gang members. You'll also have to deal with the
invisible Predator, who will try to target you with its laser sights (resembling a
red triangle). Keep moving to avoid it and you just might live long enough to see
the next level!
The goal of the game is to eventually confront the creature(s) on board the alien
ship. Yet in order to make it that far, you'll have to find the following equipment
(Harrigan automatically carries a pistol with unlimited ammo): rifle, scatter gun,
sawed-off shotgun, grenades, flak jackets (life meter increases to 100 percent) and
first-aid kits (extra life and full health).
Before you are ready to confront an alien, you'll need to first acquire its
weapons, including a spear, flying disk and net. As you might have guessed,
ordinary guns or grenades cannot harm Predators. Three difficulty levels (normal,
hard or easy) will determine how many lives you start with as well as the amount of
damage you can take before dying. A password system lets you continue your pursuit
of the Predator aliens through seven hostage-filled stages.

The first game in Gremlin's series of football management games. You start off
managing a team in the Conference (the fifth tier of English football) and aim to
progress up the leagues, either by improving your existing team or earning jobs at
better clubs elsewhere.
The features at your disposal include selecting training regimes, planning tactics
for each match based on your opposition's strengths and weaknesses, scouting for
new players including youth prospects, and arranging sponsorship and stadium
improvements (so as to attract more fans).
The transfer system is a crucial part of the game, as you aim to sign players (who
are broadly rated in each of the main skill areas) up against other teams who want
them, and sell off players you don't need. You have an overdraft available, but
make sure not to exceed it.
The game supports up to 4 players, whose matches all take place at the same time.
You can make tactical changes and substitutions mid-match.

_________________________
Premier Manager 97 is the second Mega Drive game in the hit football managing game
series of the early nineties. Similar to the first run of games in the series
(released between 1992 and 1994), the manager starts (in the Full Game mode) as a
lowly division 3 (not Conference) manager, where the goal is to get the club to the
top divisions, or get signed to better placed teams. In the Demo mode, the player
can choose any Premier League team, but only for a season.
In either of the modes, the player is responsible for carefully assembling the team
(and unlike other managers, selecting the appropriate tactics is crucial to win the
game), get the best from the transfer market by selling the fading stars and
outselling the biggest clubs in England in the quest for the stars of the future,
improve stadium capacity and quality (including seating, roof, security and
others), sign good deals for ground advertising and balance the budget to make the
team finish the season out of the red.
Matches are always simulated, with a ruler showing where the ball is, and with text
messages showing actions (like "player passes", player tackles" and so on). The
chances of goals are shown in LED-style animated clips.

order to reach the exit. Some objects can used (like a gun or keys), and objects
may be thrown, moved around and stacked. Of course, each level will also have a
variety of bad guys wandering about which will cost Puggsy one of his lives if he's
caught. On your quest there will also be six evil guardians which will need to be
defeated before you get your spaceship back!
Trivia:
The Puggsy character originated in a series of demo animations made for the Amiga
in the late 80s and early 90s. As you may gather from this, the game was originally
planned for release several years earlier. In the animations Puggsy was silver
rather than red; Nik Wild of Psygnosis claimed that the change was made to help
people with black and white TVs.

_________________________
Pulseman is an electric hero who was created to fight cyber crime. Combat the
galaxy gang throughout 7 stages with around 50 levels. Pulseman is best described
as a fusion between the gameplay of Sonic the Hedgehog and Mega Man in ways of
gameplay.
As seems to be standard practice with MIJET's work, the patch contains both the
original Japanese and the English translation. The correct translation is chosen
based on the region of your Genesis or emulator internally thanks to some ROM Hack
wizardry. Check the readme if you're interested in getting an inside look at the
hacking from the author's perspective.
As for the translation itself, it's stellar work as usual. There wasn't much text
in the game (the readme states a mere 22 strings), but it was all handled with
tender loving care, which shows brilliantly. Strangely enough, there is some spoken
English in the game, but that's translated. In addition, all instances of Engrish
have been fixed.
Overall, this is a very nice translation, and since it's the only one for this
game, I highly recommend it.

Quackshot Starring Donald Duck
Region: USA
Media: Cartridge
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Platformer
Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1991
Publisher: SEGA
Players: 1
_________________________
While Uncle Scrooge naps, Donald Duck is flipping through some old books in the
library.
Waaack! Out falls a strange piece of paper from one of the books. It's a long-lost
message from King Garuzia, the old-time ruler of the Great Duck Kingdom. He's
hidden his most prized possession somewhere on earth. And he's left a map that
leads to its whereabouts!
"I could be rich! Richer than Uncle Scrooge," Donald thinks to himself. But Big Bad
Pete and his Ducky Gang are lurking outside the window. They're about to snatch the
map, but Donald dashes away, safe for the moment.
"Donald, you're late!" Daisy scolds. "But Daisy, some-thing fabulous is waiting for
me!" Donald squawks. "If I can find it, it will be a terrific surprise for you.
I'll tell you all about it when I get back!"
If he comes back! Donald has no idea what dangers surround the hunt for the Great
Duck Treasure. He only knows that he'll do anything to find it...
--From the Genesis Quackshot Starring Donald Duck instruction manual.
Overview:
I never knew how ineffective a bathroom plunger was as a weapon until I used one
against a man with a bazooka. Sadly, Donald only has such outlandishly stupid
weapons to use against people armed with the best weaponry money can buy. Normally
I advise to charge forward, but what idiot would do so armed only with bathroom
plungers, popcorn shooters and bubblegum blasters? Donald Duck comes to mind.
Yeah that's your arsenal, but if the job were easy a former American President
would probably take it. But here we have the famous and frighteningly demented
Donald Duck to the rescue. If he doesn't just freak out and bust a hole through
your computer screen, you just might win the game.
As the moose should have told you at the entrance, Donald has found a treasure map
and is on a worldwide search for Vidalia onions (no, of course not, treasure). He
encounters numerous bad guys that he must defeat with his limited weaponry and even
more limited intelligence. Donald travels first class on an aircraft piloted by his
three nephews Pebbles, Bam Bam and Dino Huey, Dewey and Louie to ten exotic
locations (if you consider downtown Duckburg exotic) such as Duckburg, Mexico, some
Aztec Ruins, Translyvania, a Viking Ghostship (dark and moonlit - hint, hint), the
South Pole, the Maharaja's Palace, Egypt (notice, not the Egypt), Ducky Gang's
Hideout and Great Duck Treasure Island.
The game opens like a movie, which is original. Great graphics, as should be
expected with most SEGA games. The manner in which you must win the game, moving
back and forth through locations, is also original, making the game non-linear. I
give it a 90, Mr. Clark. Easy to dance to and the words make a lot of sense.
Directions:
Donald chooses locations from the map to travel to and is transported to them by
aircraft. He must fight his way through the locations, finding helpful objects that
will assist him in his adventure, until he arrives at a place where he cannot
continue without a special weapon or item.
This point is called a "checkpoint," and it is from here that he can call his
aircraft. Hopefully a friend there will give him a clue as to what he needs, or the
object needed will be obvious. He plants his flag (this is where he will return to
when he comes back to the location), calls his aircraft, and travels to another
location in search of the object.
Weapons:
- Yellow Plunger -
only stuns bad guys for a few moments, but you get an unlimited supply
- Red Plunger
fights foes and lets Donald climb obstacles (he's a Duck that talks but doesn't
fly)
- Green Plunger

Race Drivin'

Genre: Racing
Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1993
Publisher: Tengen
_________________________
Here it is... the amazing conversion of the smash arcade sensation brings
screaming-fast car racing to the Genesis! Pound the pedal and grind those gears,
down the straights and around wicked hairpin turns. Whip through hairy S-curves,
gut-flipping loop-the-loops and crazy corkscrews! With three cars to choose from,
multiple music tracks and cool sound effects, Race Drivin' brings arcade-style auto
speed competition to the Genesis!
Gameplay:
The gameplay resembles a driving game, featuring a car similar in appearance to the
Ferrari Testarossa. The screen shows a first person perspective from inside the
car, throgh the windshield. To separate it from other driving titles of that era,
stunt loops and other road hazards were added. The game generally consists of 1 or
2 laps around the stunt track. In certain modes, the player races against the
computer controlled car, Phantom Photon. The game challenges the players in a
daredevil fashion and broke away from traditional racing games like Out Run or Pole
Position. Stunts, a racing game produced later, has similar visuals, controls and
tracks.
It also features a realistic manual transmission mode and force feedback steering
wheel, in which the driver would have to properly operate the car as they would in
real life.
A notable feature of the game is the "instant replay" display that is presented
after a crash, which sets Hard Drivin' apart from most driving games of its time,
which after a crash would just put the player back on the road, stopped, and let
them accelerate again. Before resuming play after a crash, Hard Drivin' would run
an approximately ten second animation, captioned "Instant Replay", which showed a
wide aerial view of the movements of the player's car and surrounding vehicles
leading up to the crash, with the player's car always centered on the screen.
During the replay, the player could not change the action on screen, but the replay
could be aborted to immediately get back to active gameplay. The replay would
continue for about two or three seconds after the crash, showing a polygon-rendered
fireball and the movement of the car, including any spinning, flipping, or bouncing
off the struck obstacle.
The replays add to the appeal of the game and actually add a motivation to crash in
spectacular ways in order to see them played out from the aerial view. Besides
collisions, a non-survivable landing after going airborne (even if the car landed
right-side up), or even going too far off-road, could cause a crash which would be
replayed like any other crash, with the car even exploding into the same orange
fireball. The game tracks the player's progress around the track by invisible
waypoints (denoted by flags on the course map showing the player's progress when
the game ends due to time running out), and after a crash, the car is placed back
on the track at the last waypoint passed; this sometimes is a significant distance
back from the point of collision. (One of the waypoints on each track was the
marked checkpoint about halfway around, which when passed granted the player extra
time.)
Race Drivin's approach to collisions or unrealistic events-putting the car back on

the road at a standstill-was the norm for driving games until later games such as
Cruisin' USA and its successors introduced intentionally artificial physics to
force a car to always stay near the road and land right-side up pointing forward.
After going goes off-road, the player has ten seconds to return to the road, or
else he will be stopped and returned to the road, at a standstill, at the last
waypoint passed (just like when a crash occurs, but without an instant replay.)

_________________________
In the year 2090, Earth is invaded by extra-terrestrials. The World Alliance of
Nations has developed a supersonic attack fighter, Raiden, to defend the Earth. A
pilot must take control of the experimental fighter to destroy the alien warships
that just happen to look like odd variations of typical military tanks and planes
with gadgets attached to them.
Gameplay:
The formula of the game is simple and typical for the era of this game. The player
pilots the "Raiden Supersonic Attack Fighter" through waves of enemies, and several
levels. There are two types of weapons, and the player can collect several powerups
for them to make them stronger. There are bombs and missile powerups as well as
collectable medals which add to the score.
- Fighter -
Raiden fighter always starts with vulcan main weapon.
When player dies, the fighter drops items, based on the former fighter's weapon
powers.
- Weapons -
- Main weapon. There are 8 weapon levels:
- Vulcan: Fires wide formation shots (max 7 directions).
- Laser: Fires forward-concentrating shots.
- Sub weapon. There are 4 weapon levels:
- Homing Missile: Fires enemy chasing missiles.
- Nuclear Missile: Fires forward-concentrating missiles. When it hits an

enemy, the blast persists for a short period.
- Bomb: Destroys bullets on screen, and damages enemies in the blast area.
There is a moment of delay between pressing bomb button and explosion.
When a player's fighter shoots the other player's fighter, the attacker's
projectiles transform into 'stars' that radiates from the attacked fighter.
When player dies, the fighter's fragments become projectiles that damage enemies.
- Items -
- Red icon: Switches main weapon type to vulcan main shot. If the fighter
already uses the weapon, the weapon power level is increased by 1, or gets 5000
points if weapon power is already full.
- Blue icon: Switches main weapon type to laser main shot. If the fighter
already uses the weapon, the weapon power level is increased by 1, or gets 5000
points if weapon power is already full.
- H: Switches sub-weapon type to homing missile. If the fighter already uses

the weapon, the weapon power level is increased by 1, or gets 5000 points if weapon
power is already full.
- M: Switches sub-weapon type to nuclear missile. If the fighter already uses

the weapon, the weapon power level is increased by 1, or gets 5000 points if weapon
power is already full.
- 1UP: Increases life stock by 1.
- P: Maximizes both main shot and sub shot levels, assuming the fighter has the
weapon type. If both shot type powers are already full, players gets 10000 points.
- B: Increases bomb stock by 1. If player already has 7 bombs, player gets 5000
points.
- Medal: Increases score by 300.
- Miclus: Increases score by 3000.
- Fairy: Increases score by 10000.
- Stages -
There are 8 stages in the game.
When continuing after all players are dead, player resumes from a predefined check
point.
At the end of each stage, player gains stage bonus equals to the number of medals
gained in a stage with current life, multiplied by number of bombs player
possesses, multiplied by a 1000. If medal or bomb stock is 0, the count is equal to
1 for each affected field for scoring purposes.
After defeating the Stage 0 boss, the mission is completed, and player receives 1
million points for each completed loop. Afterwards, it will start back to Stage 1.
This time around, enemies shoot faster and at a more rapid rate.
Hints:
1. AKWT-AA9J Infinite bombs
2. AE9A-AAF0 Start with 1 bomb
3. A29A-AAF0 Start with 6 bombs
4. BA9A-AAF0 Start with 8 bombs
5. AJFT-AA5C Infinite lives
6. PFCA-BJXG Each bomb power-up item is worth 2

7. AEIT-AAHT Some smaller obstacles easier to explode
8. AHEA-CAGY Some bigger obstacles easier to explode
9. BA9A-AA8E Don't lose missile power when you lose a life
10. A69A-BE8E Permanent invisible missiles
11. BBCT-BA5Y First laser power-up item gives you maximum power.

Rainbow Islands: Bubble Bobble II
Region: Japan
Media: Cartridge
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Platformer
Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1987
Developer: Taito
Publisher: Taito
_________________________
Rainbow Islands is a 1987 arcade game from Taito. The game is subtitled "The Story
of Bubble Bobble 2" and is the sequel to Taito's hit game Bubble Bobble from the
previous year. It is the second of four arcade games in the Bubble Bobble series
(followed by Bubble Symphony and Bubble Memories, but itself has two direct
sequels: Parasol Stars and Bubble Bobble Part 2). The game was ported for numerous
home computers and game consoles.
The basic premise of the game is that each level is an island which is slowly
sinking into the sea. The player must therefore get to the top of each level, by
jumping on platforms and making use of the game's most distinctive feature: the
ability to produce solid rainbows, which are used both as platforms to stand on,
and as a weapon.
One of the features which sets this game apart from many others (and has no doubt
been responsible for the game's popularity) is its 'hidden depths'. While initially
appearing to be quite a simple game, Rainbow Islands in fact has a vast number of
secrets for the player to discover, including secret levels, secret power-ups and
riddles. Because of these elements, completing the game properly requires a large
amount of dedication from the player. The scoring system also has secrets, which
allow vastly higher scores to be achieved than normal.
Gameplay:
The game is set on a chain of ten islands, each one with a different theme. Each
island provides four rounds of gameplay, and once these are complete the player
moves to the next island in the chain. The islands get progressively more
difficult, with enemies moving much faster on the later ones. These are depicted on
a map screen before the start of each island. The three secret islands are not
visible until all 7 big diamonds are collected. Most consumer versions of the game
completely lack the secret islands.
The main characters are Bubblun and Bobblun, the protagonists of Bubble Bobble
(known as "Bub and Bob" in the western releases). However, in this game they appear
in their human forms as "Bubby" and "Bobby", as opposed to the "bubble dragons" of
the first game. Also unlike the first game, players must now "alternate" (i.e.,
take turns), with player one as Bubby (green shirt), and player 2 as Bobby (blue
shirt) (as with the first game).
Hints:
- Start the game with virtually infinite lives -
In the option menu, choose number of lives and select '0'. Then you can start your
game normally. When you died, instead of Game Over, you get a lot of extra lives
like ??, ?! and other symbols in pair as your number of lives. However, it is not
really unlimited. After you died a lot of times (about 400 times), your number of
lives became 99, and when it reached 0, the game is over.

_________________________
- The Rescue -
Hand-to-hand combat! Grenades bursting! Machine guns rattling! Explosions, smoke,

and the faces of men suddenly caught dead by a bullet.
These pictures burn in the mind of a man helping to build a simple temple in the
mountains. The man is John Rambo, private citizen, former Green Beret. In Vietnam,
Rambo earned his rep as a hero who couldn't be stopped, even in the face of
impossible danger. Now he spends his days in a forgotten village, struggling with
the anguish of memories he can't shake.
But today a stranger appears at the temple. "Rambo" the man says, "I've been
looking for you"
Rambo stares at the speaker. The pain of the memories fades as he recognizes his
old friend.
"Colonel Trautman!" Rambo says. "Why are you here?"
"Because I need you. I'm going into Afghanistan on a top secret mission. Right now
the border is crawling with Russians. But I've got to get in there! You're the only
one I can trust to get me across the border alive!"
Rambo's heart cringes at the idea of more war - for what! He gazes into the
distance, remembering past horrors.
"Sorry, Colonel. My war is over."

Deep in a night-shrouded mountain pass somewhere between Pakistan and Afghanistan,
three jeeps led by Colonel Trautman attempt to cross the border. Suddenly the sound
of raging thunder surrounds them. A Russian Hind helicopter is in pursuit and
firing! Before they can reach cover, two jeeps are hit and demolished! Then a voice
booms out: "You cannot escape! Drop your weapons now!"
"Trautman's been caught!"
Hearing this, Rambo starts to boil with anger. All through Vietnam, Trautman was
the only one who understood his deepest feelings. The Colonel was like a father to
him. Now his life is at stake! If only Rambo had gone with him into Afghanistan! If
only... if only...
Rambo turns to the agent who brought him the news. "I'm going after him! I want you
to get my supplies. They've got Trautman, and now they're going to get their worst
nightmare!"
--From the Genesis Rambo 3 instruction manual.
Directions:
Your mentor, and the best fry cook the U.S. Marines ever had, has been taken
captive, so what must you do? Save the Colonel! Do you need anymore reason that
that? So to get you started on your missions I give you the following information:
When you have selected the explosive arrow, the longer that you hold the "B" button
down, the more powerful it becomes.
Explosive Arrows work against towers but not ammo dumps and conversely, Time Bombs
work against ammo dumps but not towers.
Missions 1, 3, 5 and 6 have bonus rounds that you must win in order to advance.
Charge your explosive arrows to the fullest; jump out at the proper time and fire
at the tank and helicopter! Simple Enough!
Special Objects-
Smiling Faces in a box give you extra lives
An "A" in a box gives you a Bow and Arrows
A "B" in a box gives you a Time Bomb
Hero or Baby? Which shall it be? Heroes will ignore the following information and
just fight like the real Rambo would do while Babies, who just want to win, have no
choice but to use these cookbook directions. Babies make me SICK!
Mission One-
After killing all the commies, blast your way through the gate with machine gun
fire and explosive arrows. (OK, Baby, aren't you ashamed? You could have figured
that out by yourself if you hadn't been so worried about your dirty diaper)
Mission Two-
OK Sissy, you will need to fire your machine gun (not your milk bottle) at the
cells until the Secret Agent identifies himself. When he does, the place is about
to blow up so get out quickly by blowing up the exit.
Mission Three-
You have to destroy the guard towers with timer bombs (like I was going to use
oatmeal) and use machine gun fire to break through the gate.
Mission Four-
This is Real Rambo Rampage Time! You have to destroy EVERYTHING until some hokey
ratio reaches 100%. (10,000 dead commies and I still only got a 98%!)
Mission Five-
He's at it again! Destroy the tanks and helicopters using fully charged explosive
arrows (is there another kind?) and kill everybody (except for yourself - you are a
psychopath, not a suicidal mental patient).
Mission Six-
You Whiny Babies make me so sick I shouldn't even tell you what to do! But here
goes: search through the maze until you find the Colonel (you know, the guy that
didn't need cheat notes to get here. Wait a second, he has been captured. Maybe
cheat notes would have helped him).
Gameplay:
Based on the film of the same name, this game puts you in John Rambo's shoes as he
travels to Afghanistan to free Colonel Trautman from the Soviets.
In six missions, Rambo must complete various objectives. Besides finding the exit
of the level, prisoners must be freed and enemy ammunition supplies destroyed.
Rambo is controlled from an overhead perspective and has several weapons at his
disposal. Besides a machine gun that never runs out of ammo, he can use a knife for
close range kills, set off timed bombs and use his famous crossbow with explosive
arrows. Ammunition for the bow and the bombs is limited and can be collected from
dead enemies.
After some of the missions, the perspective switches to a view behind Rambo and
additional boss fights take place. Soviet tanks or helicopters must be destroyed
using the crossbow. While aiming the bow, Rambo cannot move, but otherwise he can
hide behind rocks or other obstacles from enemy fire.
Controls:
A Button: Select Special Weapon

B Button: Use Special Weapon
C Button: Fire Machine Gun
Start Button: Start / Pause
Hints:
- Your Friend The Knife -

Knifing certain soldiers gives you extra lives
- Limited Invincibility -
In Mission 2, go to the destructable box up and to the far left from the starting
point. Proceed to the left until a little shiny bit of the box is showing. Destroy
the box with an arrow, making sure there's no enemy soldiers on the screen. As soon
as there's an impact, walk left as far as you can with a trail of smoke behind you.
You will be invincible until you reach a bonus stage where you can be killed, or
until you destroy another box.

Good evening, Mr. Phelps. Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to
undertake a perilous rescue mission to the Adrianne star system. The planet has
been laid waste by corporate raiders from the Wellmax company, who are even now
going planetside to conduct a mopping-up operation for the few survivors hiding out
in the city's tunnel system. Time is limited, so the decision to act must be made
immediately. This tape will self-destruct in five seconds....
Only the boys from Liverpool could pull off a funny little arcade game that manages
to combine the best of both the platform and shooter genres. The attempts at

Developer: Pearson Software
Publisher: Simon & Schuster
Players: 1
_________________________
Richard Scarry's Busytown is a Sega Genesis and MS-DOS game that was released for a
younger generation of gamers. The game consists of an interactive story book that
was written by Richard Scarry. Most of the game is spent exploring Busytown looking
for things to interact with using either the gamepad or a special mouse that could
be purchased separately from the game and the console system. Young gamers will do
everything from building things to delivering something to repair a ship. Games are
relatively short and can be finished in about an hour. Familiar faces from Richard
Scarry's works of literature include Huckle Cat and Lowly Worm.
There is also a game where the player controls the wind and can cause controlled
havoc at the city park. All games offer basic vocabulary practice as simple puzzles
help improve basic problem solving and English language skills. The voice quality
of this game is realistic when compared to the cartoons of that era. All of the
characters act and talk like their counterparts in the books and the cartoon
series. If the player puts too much lemonade or soda in the glass and spills some
out of the glass, then one of the characters asks the player "Are you blind?" in a
gentle voice. Delivering stuff allows the town to slowly come to life; similar to a
juvenile version of SimCity.

Well, Rings of Power is insanely hard. You can wander forever without any luck. You
can be killed instantly. Your money/food/water drains very quickly. The Naughty Dog
staff made a great game, but the difficulty is very hard for any average player.
But now you can beat the game. You have lots of advantages in the hacked version
"The Hand of Nexus":
- Your party is Invincible. You can't loose HP or MP on battle nor the Temple of
Variation and Necropolis, except in some very rare cases where you can loose a bit
of HP in battle.
- All your characters will gain the max level when you get them some experience.
- You will always have all the goods at max value.
- You will start with the So Sym, Map, Sextant and the Magic Leaf. No more need to
go the annoying Magic Leaf maze.
- When you enter the map, you will teleport to any point where you left the pointer
on it.
- You will start with max Food, Water and Gold.

- You have infinite Food, Water and Gold.
- You can access the Inventory in Battle! Just hold right and press start after you
select the spells.
- You have all the spells of the whole party.
Thanks a lot to Pugsy and Ugetab, and all the cool people at GSHI. Without their
support, I never could make this hack possible.

Ristar: The Shooting Star

Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Platformer
Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1995
Developer: Sonic Team
Publisher: SEGA
Players: 1
_________________________
An evil alien leader by the name of Greedy has been causing major anarchy. He has
made the leaders of every known planet evil, created an army of devastating orb
creatures and captured an ancient hero as well. This hero just happens to be the
father of Ristar, who must go beyond all lengths to travel to each planet and bring
Greedy down and rescue his father. Can he rise to the occasion?
Ristar being one of Sega's later releases for the Genesis, it didn't quite get
enough recognition. But also being one of the later creations, it came out just
wonderful. The graphics are nicely sized and everything in the game is vibrant and
colorful, not to mention detailed.
The music tracks are fitting, being very upbeat and cheerful to match the mood.
Game-play is wonderful, too, Ristar being your side-scroller with a few little
twists as well. If you're curious, give this game a go. You won't be disappointed.
Directions:
Yep, more classic side-scrolling action packed in Ristar! Unlike Sonic, though,
you'll have to rely on technique and patience to be able to venture through the
vast worlds in this game. There are many treasures to be found, so make sure you
find everything!
This game is separated into six different worlds you have to venture in: Flora,
Undertow, Scorch, Sonata, Freon, and Automaton.
The final area is a sort of spaceship level. During the first six areas, you'll
encounter mini bosses who you'll have to fight.
Ristar has a different way of fighting and getting around. Using his super long
arms, he's able to latch onto enemies and strike or latch onto a branch and pull
himself up or climb up walls. There are also aquatic levels, in which Ristar swims,
but he's good in that environment also.

_________________________
Grab the controls of your sleek and deadly high-performance racing machine and head
into an action packed race of the future, where survival is the only law. Roar down
the straightaways and spin around turns while dodging land mines and toxic spills.
Blast enemies out of your way with your high-calibre machine guns and other special
weapons dropped by your support jet.
Your object is to reach the Rally Point at the end of each level - 5O in all. The
further you get, the more difficult it becomes. Avoid crashing into enemy cars.
Watch out for crossfire from gun turrets. And if that's not enough for you, some
levels are mined!
To help you reach the Rally Point, you get refueled at the Check point (the halfway
point of each level). You can also get extra fuel by picking up green globes you
find along the way or by blasting certain enemies to force them to give up their
fuel (shown as a red globe).
Keep a close eye on your fuel level! If you run out, it'll cost you one of five
lives.
--From the Genesis Road Blasters instruction manual.
Directions:
Run and Gun! Use your weapons to destroy everything that moves, except for the
green balls on the road, which are extra fuel. Run over them and continue on your
merry killing-spree way. You have 50 levels of car-crashing, missile-launching,
machine gun firing insanity ahead of you.
Have a blast!
You get to play with high tech weapons like Cruise Missiles, an Electro Shield
that protects your car, Nitro Injector for increased speed and an U.Z. Cannon. And
sometimes there is a jet that brings these goodies to you just like Santa. Free and
everything. Yeah, at first I thought it was an alien space ship come to probe me,
but it wasn't. Just drive under the plane and the goodies come to you. If you've
been a good little boy.
For the bean Counters:

Stingers 50 points
Command Cars 100 points
Rat Jeeps 50 points
Cycles 100 points
Gun Turrets 200 points
Special Controller Options:

Option A:
Speed is pre-set
Option B:
Use B-Button or UP to control speed
Gameplay:
- Object of the Game -
The object of the game is to complete all 50 rallies without running out of fuel.
There is no limit to how many vehicles a player can receive to complete a rally, as
long as they have fuel. However, the destruction of the vehicle will subtract a
small amount from the player's fuel tank. In the arcade version, players could
start the game at a higher rally, with additional opportunities to jump several
levels from time to time. Players can continue their game from where they left off,
however the player has only one chance to complete the 50th and final rally.
- Fuel -
Players can get fuel in four ways: green globes, red globes, a checkpoint, and the
rally point. Green globes are on the road, and fill the main gas tank. Red globes
are revealed by shooting enemies on the road. After completing each rally, the
player is awarded extra reserve fuel determined by how many enemies were destroyed
during the level. Each consecutive kill shot increases the multiplier, from 1 up to
10. A miss lowers that multiplier by 1. Whatever the multiplier is at when the
finish line is crossed is multiplied by the value of the enemies slain, and that
much fuel is awarded.
Each rally features a midway point, denoted by a line on the road which the vehicle
crosses. At this point, the amount of fuel in the main tank is restored to what it
was at the beginning of the rally (the amount of fuel in the main tank given at the
rally's start fluctuates throughout the game). The amount of fuel in the reserve
tank, however, is not restored.
When a player gets low on fuel in their main tank, a fuel light will blink on and
an alarm will sound on the display. Using up the main tank will mean the vehicle
then uses what reserve fuel is stored.
- Enemies -
There are various enemies that appear throughout the rallies.
- Stingers (orange cars)
- Command Cars (purple) - bulletproof bumpers, must be killed by a cruise

missile
- Cycles
- Rat Jeeps - comes in from the left, stops, then swerves to the right
- Gun Turrets - stationary on the side of the road
- Mines - set on the road, cannot be destroyed. A special alarm on the display
alerts players when mines have been laid ahead.
- Toxic Spills (driving the vehicle over them will spin the car out)
- Special Weapons -
At various points along the course, an airplane will come into view and drop a
weapon from its underbelly. If the player lines up the car to catch the weapon, the
secondary weapon is activated. That weapon is kept until it is used up, the car
crashed or another weapon picked up. If a player catches a special weapon while
using another one, the first will be replaced by the newest weapon.
- UZ Cannon: A rapid fire gun that does not deplete the multiplier. A limited
amount of ammunition is supplied.
- Cruise Missile: Detonation eliminates all enemies on the screen. Three

missiles are included.
- Nitro Inject: Increases the speed of the car from 210 to 298 km/h for a
limited distance. Three nitros to a pack.
- Electro Shield: Allows the car to drive through any enemy or obstacle
unharmed for a short distance. Three to a pack.
- Production -
The game's creators originally intended for an electronicized version of the '50s
pop song "Mr. Sandman" to play during one of the levels. This was never implemented
into the game.
A promotional giveaway was accessible on the original arcade version, where players
could send in their score (when all 50 levels are completed) and receive a free
RoadBlasters T-shirt.
During gameplay, a slightly robotic-sounding female voice gives the player advice
in the form of several short phrases, often related to using the Nitro Inject, or
when a player destroys several enemies in a few seconds. These phrases include "Hit
it" and "Eat lead, roadhog".
When a player has the Nitro Inject activated when crossing the rally's finish line,
the vehicle will drive off into the horizon, and the female voice will state, "Now
that's cruising."

Robotnik's Revenge is a hack of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 by ColinC10. It is a "boss
rush" hack, in which all seventeen bosses from Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the
Hedgehog 2 are fought in a somewhat arbitrary order over the course of a single
level. The game takes place in Death Egg Zone from Sonic 2, and is meant to imply
that there is more to the ship than there is in the original game.
Time spent completing the boss run is kept and the total time is given at the end
of the course, along with a ranking. In Time Attack mode there are infinite lives
and rings that can be found in-between battles. In survival mode there are only 3
lives and no rings.

Rock N' Roll Racing

Genre: Racing
Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1993
Developer: Silicon & Synapse
Publisher: Interplay Entertainment
Players: 1 or 2 VS
_________________________
Rock 'n Roll Racing is an arcade combat racing game. Combat plays a heavy role in
the game, as each car has a frontal weapon, such as a laser or missile, and a drop
weapon, such as spikes or mines. As you complete races, you get more money to
upgrade your car.
Gameplay:
The game pits four racers against each other, with up to two of them being player-
controlled and the rest being AI opponents. Races are viewed from an isometric
viewpoint.
While it is a racing game, there is heavy emphasis on attacking competitor's

vehicles; since the cars always reappear with full health just a few seconds after
blowing up, the only "harm" done is falling behind in the race. Players are
rewarded with a monetary "attack bonus" each time they provide the finishing blow
against another car using their projectile weapons (and a similar "lapping bonus"
when they gain a full one-lap lead on an opponent during the race). To this end
(the continual destruction and restoration of the racing vehicles), the tracks are
littered with mines and health power-ups, as well as money power-ups. Other hazards
include oil slicks, snow drifts, and lava, depending on which planet is hosting the
race.
Players are updated on the race by commentator "Loudmouth Larry" (Larry

"Supermouth" Huffman), who makes comments like "The stage is set, the green flag
drops!" (or "Let the carnage begin!"), and "Rip: is about to blow!" in an
enthusiastic tone at appropriate moments during the race. (There is a slight pause
between a character's name and any given phrase, as each name and each phrase is
its own sound effect, which can be heard in the F/X screen.)
Between races, players can spend the money they've earned on more advanced
equipment for their vehicle (engines, tires, shocks, and shielding) or on
increasing their capacity for the frontal weapon (energy blasts or missiles), rear
weapon (slip sauce or mines), and turbo boost (jump jets or nitro boosts), each of
which can max out at seven. Despite their limited capacity, every racer will have
their weapon and boost charges replenished at the start of each lap in a race.
Each race goes on for four laps, and the final standings provide rewards. Money is
used to buy upgrades and new cars, while points are used to advance to the next
racing division or the next planet. In two-player mode, when only one player has
sufficient points, the character in charge of advancement asks "Leave your loser
friend behind?", allowing that player to continue alone by removing the other
player from the game. Once left behind, the player has no choice but to hope that
they had written down their most recent password (available from the F/X screen)
and that the other player will reset the game and let them try again at some point.
- Selectable characters -
- Snake Sanders (Earth)

- Tarquinn (Aurora)
- Jake Badlands (Xeno Prime)
- Katarina Lyons (Panteros V)
- Ivanzypher (Fleagull)
- Cyberhawk (Serpentis)
- Olaf from The Lost Vikings (Valhalla)
There are six characters that are readily selectable, each of which has a +1
enhancement for two of the four skills that are related to how well their vehicle
handles: acceleration, top speed, cornering, and jumping. Olaf, from The Lost
Vikings, another Silicon & Synapse game that was in development at the same time,
is a hidden character, requiring a code to access him, and instead of two skills,
Olaf has three. At the character selection screen (with Snake showing on the
screen), while holding down L, R, and Select, press left then right on the d-pad,
and Olaf will appear. There is an eighth character, also hidden, who has no picture
or name but has the +1 bonus for all four of the available skills. This character
is sometimes called the "Phantom", and he/she/it is only accessible using
specially-crafted passwords.
Many of the characters, location names, etc. take their name or likeness from hard
rock music. Snake Sanders is based on Whitesnake vocalist David Coverdale, Jake
Badlands is named for Jake E. Lee, guitarist for a band called Badlands, and
Cyberhawk is most likely a reference to the cover art for the Judas Priest album
Screaming for Vengeance.

Rockman X3
Media: Cartridge
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Platformer
Gametype: Pirate
Players: 1
_________________________
The last game I want to describe in greater detail here is this little gem: Rockman
X3, to westerners more commonly known as Mega Man X3.
The only official Mega Man game produced for the Genesis is Capcom's Megaman: The
Wily Wars (also known as Rockman Megaworld). As some of you may know, Mega Man and
its spin-offs are one of the longest video game series in existence (the "classic"
line up having reached number nine recently). Rockman X is the Super Nintendo
version of said series and brought it to a whopping eight games in its very own
right. Why did the pirate hackers choose to port part three for the Genesis? I have
no idea. What I also noticed is that unlike with other hacks, the programmers
responsible for this port didn't remove the logo of the original developer it was
a bit strange to see the Capcom logo pop up at the beginning.
At the first glance, the port seems to be very accurate, capturing the Mega Man
feeling pretty well. You've got your standard blaster, which, in accordance with
the X series, you can charge to fire off a bigger shot. You've got the Mega Man
sprite and the common enemies, and also the energy- and weapon power ups. Oddly
enough, there is a strange frame around the screen during play, with a different
one for each stage. It seems similar to the frames in Duke Nukem 3D or Doom 32X, so
I guess they have been included to reduce the number of active sprites on screen to
make the game run smoother. That, or the programmers simply thought it looked nice.
However, once you play this game for a little while, you notice several rather
severe changes. First, there aren't any cut scenes. The X series told a story in
which stages where intersected with some cut scenes where characters exchanged
dialog and scripted events took place. Though not important to the gameplay, they
were one thing that distinguished that spin-off from the classic series and added a
nice touch. Considering space restrictions, leaving those out of the game is quite
understandable.
Second, another staple that distinguished the X series from the classic one (at
least from the earlier games) was armor upgrades that could be found throughout the
stage. Mega Man could learn new abilities, and using those abilities he could find
even more power ups, motivating the player to play through the stages a second or
third time in order to reach that energy tank that was unreachable at the first
playthrough. In this port, you have all those armor upgrades and extra abilities
straight from the beginning! Without cut scenes and the search for those little
extras, the main features that distinguished the X spin-off from the original
series have therefore been removed entirely. (By the way, I noticed an odd thing:
There seems to be a graphical glitch in which Mega Man, who you'll generally see in
his maxed-out armor right from the beginning, suddenly reverts back to his regular
appearance for a few milliseconds when being hit!
Does that mean that for some reason, the programmers included all sprites and
animations for Mega Man, even if some of them have become superfluous since the
armor extras don't exist anymore? This just seems lazy and shoddy!)
Also, enemies don't randomly drop power ups, which makes the game pretty hard, but
it isn't such a big deal since the programmers have retained all the "fixed"
goodies from the original level design. However, there is one cut that really
bothers me. The main distinguishing features of the entire Mega Man series were the
weapons and boss system: After each level you can choose which boss to tackle next.
After defeating a boss you get his weapon, which is particularly powerful against
one (or two) of the other bosses. So you had a number of weapons, each with their
own energy bar, that you could switch around as you liked or needed to.
Well, guess what? For some reason, this feature has been removed! The only weapon
you'll have for the entire game is the standard (chargeable) blaster! You don't get
any boss weapons, so the entire premise behind the selection of which boss to
tackle next has become moot. Even worse, whereas in the original game the final
boss only became selectable after you had completed every stage at least once, in
the Genesis port you can directly jump into the boss stage! And since the boss
weaknesses don't apply anymore, and you can only use your blaster, the strength of
each boss has been significantly reduced, making the final battle laughably easy in
the process!
So, what we have here is a Mega Man port where the programmers took a Mega Man
game, kept the sprites and levels, and removed all the mechanics that made this
series stand out amongst all the other platformers out there! It seems the
programmers weren't quite up to the task of capturing the essence of capturing and
adequately adapting the original game mechanics to the Genesis, which seems to be a
lot harder to do as it is the case with a classic jump-'n-run. Considering this,
however, it was a very odd choice to try and adapt Mega Man in the first place.

_________________________
Roger Clemens is known by some as the greatest pitcher in baseball history. In
Roger Clemens MPV Baseball players play a standard a 9 innings baseball game in
Exhibition mode and a full regular season can be played including the World
Championship Playoffs in the Regular Season mode. While playing in Regular Season
mode the player can see their chosen team's progress by using the in game calendar
showing all the games.
Players select a fictional team from the following groups:

- National Division West: San Francisco Quakes, Los Angeles Apaches, Cincinnati
Big Cats, San Diego Suns, Houston Mustangs, and Atlanta Condors.
- National Division East: Chicago Swords, Montreal Lumberjacks, New York

Buffalos, St. Louis Commandos, Pittsburgh Panthers, and Philadelphia Generals.
- American Division West: Oakland Bashers, Seattle Pioneers, Minnesota Hounds,

California Waves, Texas Cowboys, Chicago Red Birds, and Kansas City Kings.
- American Division East: Toronto Bears, Boston Hornets, New York Rebels,
Detroit Wheels, Milwaukee Marshals, Baltimore Eagles, and Cleveland Tomahawks.
Each team has a set of players the make up the team each with their own skill level
and statistics which, like the teams, is fictional other then Clemens himself who
is on the Boston Hornets team.
When controlling the pitcher the player can control the speed and spin of the pitch
as well as the pitchers position on the plate. The pitcher can also stop the
opponent stealing a base which can be seen via windows showing the positions of all
the baserunners. When controlling the batter the player has to time the hit to
successfully hit the ball so it will not be a missed hit or a foul, or has the
option to not hit in case of a 'ball'. The player can also steal a base while
batting. After the ball is hit the game goes into fielding mode where the camera
shifts to a view that is lower than the normal 45 degree angle (the fielder gets
smaller as he moves away from the camera). The player then controls the closest
fielder to get or catch the ball and then throw it to the selected base.
There are many different cameras angles that the game selects depending on the
location of the ball. The camera can be on the left, center, or right side of the
field in ether infield or outfield position and all cameras can pan to follow the
ball.
The player can use a password to save their progress in Regular Season mode. An
exhibition match can be played in two player mode with the use of two controllers.

Rolling Thunder III
Region: USA
Media: Cartridge
Controller: Gamepad
Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1993
Developer: Namco
Publisher: Namco
Players: 1
_________________________
The game's plot is set around the same time period as its predecessor Rolling
Thunder 2. With Albatross and Leila currently assigned to tracking down Gimdo, a
new Rolling Thunder agent codenamed Jay is given the task to track down Geldra's
second-in-command, Dread (a green skinned humanoid resembling Maboo from the first
game). The story is presented in a more cinematic fashion than the previous games,
featuring animated cut scenes between stages and on-screen text dialogue between
the characters. Jay is assisted via radio by a contact named Ellen, who provides
him with mission objectives.
Gameplay:
The game maintains the "shoot-and-take cover" formula of the previous installments.
In Rolling Thunder 3, the player progresses through 10 levels and 3 secret areas
(including an abandoned version of the original game's first stage) mostly by
shooting hostile enemies, replenishing ammo by entering specially marked doors, and
dodging or crouching under enemy fire by hiding behind objects such as crates.
Unlike Rolling Thunder 2, the game features only a single-player mode. However,
Rolling Thunder 3 builds upon the formula by adding additional elements to the
series.
Rolling Thunder 3 offers its fair share of new features to the series. Players now
have the option to select one weapon from a total nine before beginning each level.
In addition to the sub-machine gun, there's a flamethrower and laser gun similar to
the ones in the Genesis version of Rolling Thunder 2 and three different types of
grenades: regular, flash and cracker. Once the player's starting special weapon has
been chosen in one stage, it cannot be chosen again in later stages.
There are now two separate fire buttons, with one button mapped for the standard
pistol and the other for the special weapon. The player also has the ability to
shoot at angles or slash enemies with a knife when no special weapon is equipped.
As they progress through the game, players will also be introduced to fast-paced
vehicle stages, controlling Jay as he rides either a motorcycle on slick highways
or jet-skis across rapid waters.
The game does not require the player to complete the stages within a time limit and
thus eliminates the time bonus doors. However, taking too long summons a sniper who
begins shooting at Jay. Fortunately, the player's health bar consists of three
health units instead of one, giving Jay the ability to endure more hits before
dying. In addition, when Jay dies, the game allows the player to restart from the
exact position he died at, rather than forcing the player to continue from a check
point or the beginning of the stage as the prequels had done.
As with the console versions of the previous games, the game gives player a
password to begin a harder second quest that features a slightly extended ending
once the game has been finished once. There are also another hidden password that
replaces Jay's sprite in the game with that of Ellen dressed as a female agent. She
has no cut scenes and the ending remains unchanged.

Players: 1 to 4 VS
_________________________
It's Saturday night and the Slam Masters have arrived! Ten of the biggest and
beefiest wrestlers ever to step into the ring have gathered for one bone-crushing,
back-breaking tournament where there are NO RULES! Step into the ring and get ready
for no-holds barred wrestling as you bounce your opponents off the ropes and
clotheline the fools! Or dare them to take the fight outside the ring where brawls
with tables, chairs and bottles are all part of the action. And just when you've
got enough muscle, grab a friend and try out the sinister Death Match, where only
the ultimate Slam Master can survive the barbed wire ropes and the booby-trapped
floor!
Directions:
Wrestling is an easy enough concept to understand. You try to pin your opponent for
3 seconds to win the match. However, this is an objective which will make this game
a whole lot of fun.
To be able to pin your opponent, you need to beat on him until his energy bar
slowly drains down to nothing and then knock him down, afterwards attempting the 1-
2-3. If you can do so, you win the match. However, if both opponents fail to score
a pinfall in the time given in the match, the player who has the most health
remaining is declared the winner. If both have the same amount of health in an
occasion, then the match is considered a "draw."
In a match, you will probably need to break out the whole arsenal of moves to win.
Some moves consist of running. In order to run, you have to double tap either left
or right to charge in the respective direction. Whether you bounce off of the ropes
or hit your opponent, the directionals will lead you there. If you bounce off of
the ropes, however, you gain another level of speed. Another technique that takes a
little more time to master is the art of grappling. To be able to pull this move
off, you must be standing next to your opponent and then hit the right and attack
buttons. You can now either pull off either an Irish Whip (a throw at the ropes) or
a body slam, depending on which button you press.
Gameplay:
The original Slam Masters plays like a traditional wrestling game, only the game
used a view similar to that commonly used in the fighting game genre. The game uses
a three button configuration (grab, attack, and jump).
Each character has two special attacks: a non-grappling technique and a finisher.
When an opponent's life meter is depleted, he must either be pinned for a three-
count or forced to submit. Defeating all of the other wrestlers results in winning
the championship belt, which must then be defended against the entire roster.
There are two game modes: Single Match, where the player fights in a series one-on-
one matches against the CPU; and Team Battle Royale, where the player and another
partner (controlled by another player or by the CPU) competes in a series of two-
on-two matches. The game can be played by up to four players.
Controls:
A Button: Attack, Pick up a nearby weapon

B Button: Jump
C Button: Pin
Hints:
- Increase the damage of your moves -

Pause the game right as your move lands, doing this will add to the amount of
damage it inflicts.

Rev up the Mystery Machine because Shaggy, Scooby and the rest of the gang have
some mysteries to solve. Put yourself in the shoes of Shaggy, as he and Scooby
venture off in search of snacks while Freddy, Daphne and Velma head in another
direction. Unfortunately, Shaggy and Scooby find more than snacks - they also find
trouble.
At Blake's Hotel, find the clues that will trap the so-called ghost of an ancient
chieftain that is scaring away all of the guests of Daphne's Uncle.
A fun-filled day at the carnival turns into a mission to find a clown bent on
revenge and rescue Fred, Daphne and Velma. These interactive mysteries let Shaggy
pick-up and examine objects, and eventually use them to set a trap. Scooby will
help out by pointing and sniffing around. Put all the clues together and you've
solved the mystery!
--From the Genesis Scooby Doo Mystery instruction manual.
Directions:
Directions-
Listen to the introductions to the games, look at everything and use the Actions.
You have unlimited time, lives and energy.
Actions-
To select an action from the list at the bottom of the screen: press the B-Button
to change from Shaggy to the cursor, move the cursor with the D-Control to the
action that you want to use (it will appear in a blue rectangle) and then press the
B-Button again and the action will turn white. Then using the D-Control, move the
cursor to the object that you want to use the action on and press the B-Button to
actually use the action. It is a lot easier to do it than to describe it.
Two Word Special Actions-
Use___With___ that allows Shaggy to direct an Action of one object to another

object.
Example- "Use Scissors with Paper"
Give___To___ that allows Shaggy to give an object from the Inventory to a person or
animal
Example: "Give food To Scooby-Doo.
Inventory-
You collect items that you find using the "Take" action that adds them to your
inventory. You view the items in the Inventory by pressing the C-Button. You select
them the same way that you select an Action.
Gameplay:
The player controls Norville "Shaggy" Rogers as well as Scooby Doo simultaneously
(he automatically mimics any movements that the player makes as Shaggy} making
gameplay unique. The object of the game is to find clues to solve the 4 mysteries
in the game. These clues can be obtained by finding them in the open, completing a
specific task, or having Scooby "sniff out" hidden clues in each area. These clues
give the players Mystery points and more points can be earned in the bonus levels.
If the player accumulates 10,000 points, they will receive an extra life. In
addition, the player must avoid hazards such as small creatures, falls from high
areas, or the level Monster. Each of these will add to the players "Fright Meter"
which, if full, will result in the player losing a life. Once enough clues have
been gathered, Velma will send you to Fred to help him build a trap to catch the
monster. The player then has to lure the monster to the trap before the end of
level cutscene plays.
At the beginning of each level, only a small portion will be accessible, but as
more clues are found, more of the level can be explored. Between each case, a game
clip of the Mystery Machine driving along with on-screen dialogue from the gang
inside is shown. The mysteries themselves don't have much plot before or after each
case, and the person in the monster suit is usually never met until they are
unmasked.
- Characters -
The other three members of Mystery Inc. are there to help solve the case as well,
though they are not playable. They do each serve a specific task however:
Fred Jones - The leader of the group, he will usually provide information on the
mystery as well as help Shaggy and Scooby open locked doors. At the end of each
mystery, the player must find specific items which Fred will use to build a trap to
catch the monster.
Daphne Blake - The beauty of the group, Daphne may not help with the case itself,
but she will provide Shaggy and Scooby with a supply of Scooby Snacks which will
help keeps the players "Fright Meter" down. She will only give a Scooby Snack if
the player has found enough clues.
Velma Dinkley - The brains of the group, the player must bring any clues they find
to her for analysis. Each clue adds to the players point total which will give them
a life for gaining enough of them.
- Levels -
There are four levels in the game, and the player receives a password after each
one to allow them to return at any time.
1) Spooky Shipwreck - This is the Red Ryan which is being haunted by a ghostly
pirate named One-Eyed Matt. He is actually after treasure on sunken ships nearby
which he planned to melt down and steal .
2) Haunted Amusement Park - The Fun Fair is being haunted by an Evil Clown who
seeks to close the park as revenge for being fired when he was the parks janitor.
3) Abandoned Ranch - The Tar Monster is scaring everyone away from this ranch in
order to buy the land cheap and then sell it at a profit due to it containing
valuable minerals.
4) Haunted House - A house belonging to Daphne's Uncle which is being haunted by a

vampire named Count Bagosi. He is trying to scare everyone away to protect his
illegal counterfeiting operation.
- Bonus Levels -
There are two bonus levels hidden in each mystery.
The first is found in the kitchen area. In this level, the player controls Scooby
Doo who is standing on his hind legs holding a slice of bread in each hand. Shaggy
is behind him in a refrigerator with his back to the screen. Shaggy throws food
items out which the player must catch by moving Scooby side to side. The food
stacks up as it is caught but if Scooby moves too fast some of it will fall. If the
sandwich is large enough, then the player will be awarded with a Scooby Bonus.
The second is found randomly in each level, but usually appears upon entering a new
area of the level. On this level, Shaggy plays a game of "Whack a Mole" with a
mallet on three vases. The player must use the directional buttons to tell Shaggy
where to swing. The object is to hit as many monsters (ghosts, vampires, knights,
etc) as possible without hitting Scooby or the other members of the gang. Points
are added for monsters hits and subtracted for hits to friends. Time Bonus, Time
Freeze, and Speed Boost can also be collected from the vases to prolong the game
and get more points. If the player scores enough points in the time limit, they
receive a Scooby Bonus.

_________________________
Based on the first season of the TV series of the same, your character is an
officer of the UEO: The Underwater Earth Organization. You begin the game inside a
training simulation, which upon successful completion ensures your transfer to the
crew of the SeaQuest DSV where you will be called upon to perform the same duties.
Primarily, your function is to navigate the SeaQuest Deep Submergence Vessel around
the underwater map to various 'mission areas' where you will be called upon to use
the on board vehicles to accomplish some task. Typical missions include salvage
operations, rescue operations, disarmament of underwater explosives, termination of
enemies and exploration. Damage of underwater property is deducted from your budget
and completion of objectives adds to it. The money must be used to resupply weapons
and buy additional vehicles. Underwater is a dangerous place.
The vehicles you have at your command include
- The Speeder: A simple two-man vessel designed entirely for speed. It is also
a combat vessel and may fire forwards, move up & down and change orientation
between facing left and facing right
- Stinger: A prototype "next generation" attack vessel, this one-man sub allows
you to orientate in any direction to fire your weapon accurately.
- Sea Truck: Slow and bulky, this vessel may move up and down and change it's
orientation between left and right. It's weapons are torpedoes and mines which may
be dropped behind it. Furthermore it is the only vessel that can pick up undersea
objects for transport
- Remote (HR) Probe: Small and agile, this vehicle contains only a very simple
weapon. It's main purpose however is underwater welding and repair of objects. It
can also activate switches
- Darwin - Intelligent Dolphin and SeaQuest mascot: Darwin the dolphin is

perhaps the most agile of the vehicles, and may take off in bursts of speed.
However Darwin has no weapons with which to defend himself and is very vulnerable.
Darwin is able to get into tiny spaces that none of the other vehicles can reach.
Darwin is able to activate switches.
Gameplay:
The game is divided into two parts; one in which you control the seaQuest in an
isometric perspective overworld and are able to buy equipment and weapons and
travel the ocean quadrant, and the actual horizontal scrolling shooter style
missions, in which you are to achieve various objectives using a complement of
mini-subs, robots, and even a trained dolphin wearing an aqua-lung. Some of the
missions are simplistic and require you to make use of only one of the seaQuest's
vessels, others have you make use of several of them in succession. For example,
there's a mission in the first ocean quadrants where you have to rescue the crew of
an exploration vessel trapped in a caved-in underwater cave, and have to use armed
subs to clear several cave-ins before you can bring in the only mini-sub you have
that's equipped to rescue personnel from other subs.
The missions also typically involve combat between your mini-subs and the units of
pirates, eco-terrorists, and other foes, but also more often than not require you
to perform some sort of non-combat task such as the aforementioned rescue
operation.
The other part of the game is the overworld where the player controls the seaQuest
herself. These areas give you access to several menus in which you can replace lost
equipment, buy new weapons for the seaQuest, and read up on the various missions
you will receive while in your quadrant. While traveling your quadrant, you will
also come across minefields, automated torpedo launchers and hostile submarines,
many of which you need to destroy in order to achieve missions you are assigned in
their area. For example, there's a mission in which you are to seal the leaks in an
oil tanker sunk by ecological terrorists. In addition to accomplish this objective
with your mini-subs, you need to not only complete the mission itself, but also to
use the seaQuest herself to sink every terrorist submarine near the oil tanker
wreck.
The game features a currency system, and awards you money for destroying enemy
targets and completing objectives. The player can also lose money for destroying
underwater settlements and killing animals present in some missions. Money is spent
on weapons, countermeasures and mines for your seaQuest submarine, as well as
replacements for lost vessels in missions. You don't need to spend money on
repairs, though, as the seaQuest and her complement subs repair themselves over
time.

At the end of First Samurai, the Demon King was able to flee back in time to
ancient Japan, so our hero follows him back in time, and has 10 levels awaiting
him. Unlike the original, each world is split into sub-levels, with a boss at the
end of each one, emphasising the arcade side of the gameplay, which still combines
hacking and slashing with puzzle-solving.
As in the first game, you start without weaponry but can pick up swords and daggers
as you progress through the levels. There are lots of hidden sections as you
progress, which open up more of the end sequence to you, as well as several
subgames including a shoot 'em up mode.

_________________________
REVENGE IN THE BIG APPLE!
Having destroyed the evil Neo Zeed empire, Shinobi (Joe Musashi) was not heard from
again. Joe Musashi could now relax as his ninja skills and techniques were not
needed. However, one day a school seemed to have been attacked and children were
held as hostages. Kato, Joe's former martial arts student, when to investigate and
try to help but was almost killed by the ones that over took the school: The Union
Lizard.
Joe went to the hospital Kato had been put in, but Kato died before Joe arrived.
All that Kato left was his faithful dog, called Yamamoto. Joe swore revenge to
Kato's mother and left with Yamamoto to destroy the Union Lizard, which had now
taken over almost all of New York and taken many hostages. Shinobi's mission was to
rescue them all and destroy Union Lizard.
--From the Genesis Shadow Dancer: The Secret of Shinobi instruction manual.
Gameplay:
The gameplay is very similar to previous Shinobi games except with the addition of
the dog as a game mechanic. The dog can harass enemies, allowing the player to kill
them more easily. Some enemy types are designed in such a way that killing them is
extremely difficult without the assistance of the dog. In the arcade version, the
player can press down and attack to call the dog. It is not possible to summon the
dog while standing up. When the dog is hurt, it shrinks into a puppy, incapable of
attacking until the next power-up. In the home versions, the dog is always present,
and must be given manual attack orders by holding down the attack button to charge
a meter. If the dog is hurt, it automatically heals after a short amount of time.
Bombs (or hostages in the home versions) are scattered across the stage waiting to
be disarmed. The goal of each stage is to disarm a certain number of bombs before
facing the boss.
The player character's standard weapons are an unlimited supply of throwing stars,
along with punches and kicks when attacking at close range. He can also perform
"ninja magic," which may be used only once per stage and kills (or damages, in the
case of bosses) all enemies on the screen. A single power-up exists, which upgrades
the shuriken into energy bolts and changes the close-range attacks to more powerful
sword slashes.
The game contains 4 rounds divided into sub sections totaling 15 stages. The Sega
Master System port is the shortest game among all versions. Every round has only
one regular and one boss stage.
The arcade version of Shadow Dancer featured bonus stages where the PC will go up
against a group of ninjas climbing down a building in the style of a first person
shooter. The bonus stage is the same on all the ports except for Mega Drive
version. In this version, the PC is depicted free-falling between two buildings
while enemies wall-jump back and forth between them. The player moves left and
right, throwing shuriken to hit the enemies before they jump past the top of the
screen. The SMS version has both bonus rounds.
Hints:
- Earning 200,000 points -

To earn 200,000 points when you battle any boss (except Stavros) reduce your foe to
within a flame or two of destruction, then stay out of reach until the last ten
seconds. At the very last second, use ninja magic to destroy the boss.
- Practice on Any Stage -

Enter the following code at the Title Screen....
A + B + C - Start
A new option should appear allowing you to practice on any level
- Extra Life -
In the bonus round where you have to shoot the ninjas, you can either kill none or
all ninjas. This will give you an extra life.

_________________________
Shadow of the Beast II finds the hero in half-beast form, wandering the lands of
Karamoon in search of his kidnapped sister. She had been taken away from her
mother's cottage by the dragon-form of the Beast Mage, Zelek, servant to Maletoth.
Along the way, Aarbron befriends the wise dragon Barloom and must defeat the evil
dragon Ishran. Tree Pygmies in the forest and the goblins in the Crystal Caverns
serve as interactive, complicated foes. For example, a bottle of booze picked up at
the Karamoon oasis must be given to the goblin jailer to free Aarbron from his
cell. Only after Aarbron gives the old man his ring and his parchment does he
obtain a spell powerful enough to harm Zelek.
Gameplay:
The game initially received praise for its high level cosmetics, although
graphically inferior to the first game lacking the groundbreaking multi-layer
paralax scrolling, it still provided much eye candy for the player and Tim Wrights
soundtrack succeeded in creating a grim and sinister atmosphere, particularly the
emotional 'death scene' music with its synth layer and sampled electric guitar
melody which created a stunning tragic mood. Supposedly, many players died on
purpose just to hear it. The booklet cover for Glasgow death metal band 'REGORGE'
for their debut album "KINGDOMS OF DERISION" bore an uncanny influence to the death
scene artwork.
The game itself is very difficult, and with no ability for the player to continue
if killed, many felt that Psygnosis had neglected to consider the players who
wanted it to be easier. For example, in several of the game's puzzles the player
only received one attempt at solving it. This meant that if the player got the
puzzle wrong, then he or she had to restart all over again. Another complaint was
that the game was programmed in such a way as to allow players to get ahead of
themselves by entering certain areas of the game without having first obtained the
necessary equipment beforehand. Thus, many players believed they had no option but
to cheat in order to see more than a fraction of it, by asking the first Pygmy to
his right about "ten pints".
As in the first game, the cover art for Shadow of the Beast II was created by Roger
Dean and the game was packaged with a promotional black T-Shirt that featured
Dean's artwork.

Shadowrun
Region: USA
Media: Cartridge
Controller: Gamepad
Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1994
Developer: BlueSky Software
Publisher: SEGA Entertainment
Players: 1
_________________________
The year is 2050 and the megacorps rule by the power of information. everyone is on
file in the global mainframe... everyone but you and a handful of "invisible"
outlaws called shadowrunners. Move through the grim and magical realities of
futuristic Seattle and uncover a diabolical plot that could destroy the world. Team
up with spell casting mages, wire-headed deckers, or mythic orcs and trolls of the
distant past. Take on a variety of shadowruns including: Cleaning up the streets,
jacking into the Matrix for a big time cyber-heist or pulling off a risky
"Corporate Extraction." Stalk the cities in real-time combat and glide through the
virtual battlefield of the Matrix, where an encounter with Black ICE may be your
last!
Gameplay:
Shadowrun offers the player an open style of gameplay, where one controls the main
character, Joshua, in third person perspective during both exploration and combat.
Battles are real time, and although of varying difficulty, tend to be relatively
short. Initially, the player is restricted to a single area of the game, but
shortly gains access to almost all other areas. Access to other areas is
accomplished primarily by taxi, although various restrictions and other modes of
travel also exist, such as requiring a visa or bypassing the visa check with the
use of a helicopter.
As in most RPG videogames, the characters' skills and attributes can be improved.
However, Shadowrun uses a unique "Karma" system, which allows full character
customization. Karma, roughly equivalent to experience, is earned for successfully
completing a run, killing enough enemies, or advancing the game's plot. Karma is
then spent on specific stats as determined by the player.
To earn money and Karma, the player must participate in shadowruns, illegal jobs
provided by pseudo-anonymous contractors who are, within the legal boundaries of
their work, referred to simply as Mr. Johnsons. Mr. Johnsons usually are corporate
liaisons who want their bosses' dirty work done without compromising them. All Mr.
Johnsons work in backroom booths in different clubs and bars through the city.
Depending on the Johnson, they will randomly offer one of four types of jobs:
courier missions, Ghoul hunting, Matrix runs, or infiltrating a corporate
headquarters. Different Mr. Johnsons have varying levels of difficulty and pay for
their jobs, which can be influenced by the player's negotiation statistic.
At the start of the game, the player can choose for Joshua to be either a samurai,
a decker, or a gator shaman. These only determine Joshua's beginning statistics and
equipment; samurai begin focused on combat, deckers on use of the Matrix and
electronics, and shamans on the use of magic. Over the course of the game, the
player may choose to continue to focus on one particular skill or set of skills or
branch out into other areas; however, only characters who choose to start as a
shaman (and allied mages) can use magic and getting too many "cyberware" implants
can reduce its effectiveness.
To help the player make things easier during hard shadowruns, Joshua can also
recruit other characters to help him in his shadowruns. These are called
shadowrunners, and can also be customized as Joshua can. The price of hiring a
shadowrunner depends on the duration of the contract, as well as the runner's
attitude toward the player. Shadowrunners can be hired for a single run or for a
lifetime for ten times the price. The player can only directly control one
character at a time; other characters (including Joshua) are controlled by the
computer's AI.
The primary method of combat in Shadowrun is the use of firearms, although magic
plays a significant role in combat in both an offensive and defensive capacity.
Shadowrun keeps track of ammunition; if a character runs out they may have to
resort to melee. The use of magic, on the other hand, is kept in check by damaging
the player for casting high-level spells: the player can mitigate or even eliminate
this through the use of items, or by reducing the success chance and/or power of
the spell.
A variety of shops exist throughout the game, providing guns and modifications,
cyberware, spells and spell upgrades, cyberdecks and utilities, and other
miscellaneous items. In addition to the numerous shops in the game, the player can
collect a variety of contacts who provide the player with information, services, or
(frequently illegal) goods.
- The Matrix -
In tone with the Shadowrun pen-and-paper universe, certain characters can also
explore the Matrix, a global computer network that can be accessed through
cyberterminals. It is there that the player, in a third person perspective, can
hack networked systems for various purposes. However, in order to do so, a series
of intrusion countermeasures must be dealt with, the difficulty of which is
proportionate to the system being attacked: the high-end systems of law enforcement
and influential corporations will be significantly more difficult to break than
that of a nameless hotel.
The cyberdeck, carried by Joshua, can be used by any shadowrunner, and like real
computers has a variety of statistics, such as memory, storage, and loading speed.
These can be improved individually through upgrades or all at once by purchasing a
more advanced model. Primarily, the cyberdeck's use, aside from entering the
Matrix, is to hold various utilities to hack the networks properly (such as
Masking, Attack, and Analyzing programs) and to save data downloaded from the
Matrix itself.
Shadowrun's Matrix system gameplay.
While inside the Matrix, the interface changes. The shadowrunner that entered it is
replaced by a chromed character - referred to as persona, its reflection in the
cyberworld - which navigates through the network. Networks are made up of a series
of nodes: geometric shapes representing different facets of the system, such as the
CPU or data stores. Each node has a different function: the CPU, for example, can
cancel system alerts and crash the entire system. The difficultly of defeating a
particular node is determined by its color: blue (unprotected node), green (weak
and occasionally unprotected), orange (average), and red (strong).
Each node is (usually) protected by intrusion countermeasures called ICs

(pronounced "Ice"). These are designed to forcibly dump the persona from the system
by various means. ICs appear as different figures covering the nodes, and have
different effects depending on their type. Trace IC, for example, will force the
player out of the system after a certain period of time. Other forms will attempt
to trigger alerts, thereby increasing the strength of other IC, or attack the
player until they are forced to log out. Tar IC, which hide behind other forms of
IC, can even permanently delete the player's utilities, effectively making further
progress impossible.
Matrix runs consist of stealing or erasing data, or crashing a system via the CPU.
During corporate infiltrations, the player can use internal cyberterminals to shut
off the building's security, making the run easier. In addition to its role in
shadowruns, the Matrix can be used as a direct source of income by pilfering data
from systems and selling it. Files sell for a semi-random price based on the system
of origin and difficultly rating of the node the data was stolen from; a single
file can sell for as much as 10,000 nuyen, or turn out to be completely worthless.
- Gangs -
In Seattle, there are three local racial gangs that have well-defined territories
and many influences on corporation affairs. These gangs are:
Halloweeners Humans Redmond Barrens Yakuza

Eye-Fivers Elves Penumbra District Mafia
Orks Orcs Puyallup Barrens Lone Star
The player can visit each of these gangs, and pay to speak with their leaders (or
be asked to do so, depending on his reputation). There, he can ask for protection
from the gangs' random attacks, as well as for the phone number of their allegiance
bosses. After Joshua's reputation has been highly upgraded, and after he obtains
the numbers of these bosses, he can contact the Yakuza and Mafia, and pledge
loyalty to either one of them himself, obtaining specific benefits and exclusive
items and discounts. Of course, after he sides with any of these criminal
organizations, the rival gangs will attack him indiscriminately. On the other hand
Lone Star, the government's police force, can't be contacted directly.
Hints:
- Cheat Menu -
Enter the following code at the Title Screen....
A - B - B - A - C - A - B
Then fo into the pocket secratary, below the Save/Load is a blank line. Go into
that option and you can unlock some awesome cheats
- Lower Shadowrunner Hiring Costs at No Risk -

Complete a moderate or advanced Shadowrun that requires you to collect payment from
the Johnson you contracted with. Then hire a shadowrunner for the short-term BEFORE
collecting your payment. Upon receiving payment, the game will treat your hired
shadowrunner like he/she successfully completed the contract with you, and will
lower his/her hiring price anyway.
- Easy Stolen Package Corp Run -

Stolen packages are always randomly located in safes in corporate buildings. Each
time you exit and reenter a corp building, the package relocates to a different
safe.
That said, always take the Corp Run that requires you to retrieve a stolen package
from Lone Star Security. The Lone Star building has a safe right next to the exit.
Enter, check the safe, exit the building, and repeat the procedure until the
package appears in that safe. It is the easiest Corp Run in the game.

Mod Homepage: http://magus57.googlepages.com/shadowrunconversionmod
This is a mod for the Sega Genesis version of Shadowrun. It replaces all of the
guns in the game either with real-life equivalents, or good alternatives to the in-
game guns. It also makes a few minor changes detailed in the readme file.
It's also a complete change of the starting characters/races, along with their
skills, attributes, and inventories. It may not make complete sense with the game's
story, but in my opinion, it makes the gameplay more fresh.
Finally, it also changes a bit of the dialogue, and much of the menus and text. I
will update the mod in the regard of modified dialogue every so often, whenever I
feel I've made a worthwhile amount of changes.
More information in the readme. Mod is a single IPS patch.
While this mod is pretty much complete, I'm open to changes, especially if you can
help me with some of the stuff mentioned in the readme. Just email me using the

Developer: Toaplan
Publisher: Tengen
Players: 1
_________________________
Slap Fight, also known as Alcon, is a 1986 vertically scrolling shooter arcade game
developed by Toaplan and published by Taito. It takes its inspiration from Xevious
(being a vertical scroller) and Gradius (from which it borrows its power-up
system). The game takes place in an Earth-type environment with metallic, land-
based enemies; some are mobile armor and others are fortifications embedded in
natural terrain.
Enemies always appear in the same location, at every new game or wrap of the map.
Certain enemies leave power-up stars upon destruction. Collecting these stars
"turns on" an upgrade menu at the bottom of the screen and moves a lit cursor
through the list of power-ups described below. If any power-up is lit, but a ship
is lost before a power-up could be selected, the star is "carried over" and the
Speed block is lit on the next life.
Single hits to the unshielded main ship destroy it, and the player loses any
accumulated upgrades including Speed. This can make successive lives difficult to
keep in the heat of battle.
This game does not support continues with extra credits, and is believed to be
endless; that is, after the final boss, gameplay resumes at the beginning of the
play map but at successively higher difficulty due to enemies shooting faster and
more frequently. This has been tested to at least three "wraps."

Sol-Deace
Region: USA
Media: Cartridge
Controller: Gamepad
Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1992
Players: 1
_________________________
In the year 3300, human technology advances drastically when a super computer known
as GCS-WT is created after an AI circuit is developed and utilized. GCS-WT's
purpose was to ultimately unify every human society using the power of diplomacy,
but GCS-WT has other plans: rather than unify mankind, GCS-WT turns societies into
a dystopia after becoming an all-powerful dictator who controls all military action
as it sees fit and oppressess mankind of various liberties; anyone who spoke
against GCS-WT's will did not live very long.
Only one man was the most successful in running a campaign against GCS-WT: a
scientist known as Edwin Feace. Feace had fled SOL completely and stationed himself
near a recently discovered planet dubbed Cilius that awaited colonization. It was
there that Feace secretly established a resistance group against GCS-WT and
developed a multi-directional, dual-occupant space fighter called the Sol-Feace.
The Sol-Feace was Edwin's plan to use against the GCS-WT and any who fell under its
militaristic order in hopes of releasing human suppression. However, Edwin was
assassinated under GCS-WT's command before the ship could be mass produced in a
violent manhunt in space. Two survivors escaped the destruction that followed
Edwin:
- Eric Williams - A young pilot prodigy who was selected by Edwin to control
the Sol-Feace and to organise its armaments.
- Misao Hatanaka - The cannon-gunner of the Sol-Feace, Misao is a weapons

engineer who, with her knowledge in computers, contributed to the Sol-Feace
project.
Together, the two go on to continue Edwin's mission: pilot the Sol-Feace and
destroy GCS-WT.
Gameplay:
Players pilot the Sol-Feace in a fight against strategic enemy fighters. Players
use a dual cannon pick-up weapon that can fire shots in diagonal angles. The
cannons can be positioned to fire straight or diagonally only when the ship is not
firing its weapons and can fire different shots depending on the weapon.
Weapon power-ups include the following:
- Blaster - Standard vulcan type weapon.
- Wide Blaster - Bi-directional weapon that can fire from the top or bottom of
the ship under each cannon.
- Melt ray - Laser weapon, fires long beams of semi-powerful lasers.
- Burn Bullet - A stream of rocket-fire that explodes on impact and can spread
partially behind the ship against ground forces as the shots bow outward when
fired. Obviously, the strongest weapon in the game, but not entirely the fastest.
- Levels -
The levels of Sol-Feace take the players across two galaxies on various seek and
destroy missions.
- Level 1: Sirius - The largest colony of humans was set here, but GCS-WT's
order left the vastly populated colony a cloud of metallic parts floating adrift in
space.
- Level 2: Sirius Moon Weapon Facility - Simply put, a large weapon facility
used by GCS-WT.
- Level 3: Artificial Sun - A sun made entirely by GCS-WT for an unknown

purpose.
- Level 4: Microcosm P-1 - An unused cruise ship that was thrown into battle
once Sol-Feace continued its strikes.
- Level 5: A Station on Pluto - A supposedly weak space station that's under

construction set near Pluto.
- Level 6: The Moon Amalthea - The strongest base developed under GCS-WT's rule
set on Amalthea (moon) as the primary defense against any outside forces (in this
case, the Sol-Feace).
- Level 7: Earth - an unknown location in which GCS-WT is stationed.
Hints:
- Level Skip -
To skip levels while you are playing, enter the ninety-nine lives and level select
code. Then hit A, B and C during gameplay to skip a level.
- Ninety-nine lives and Level Select -

To obtain ninety-nine lives and execute level select, press the following sequence
at the title screen, A, B, C, A, B, C, B, C, B, A, then start. This will take you
to configuration mode, where you can use the cursor to select any level you want.
If you move it to mode, push right until ''MY99'' appears for 99 lives.

On the options menu enable the the level skip and the ninety-nine lives cheat,
while the mode says my99, hold down a and keep pressing right until the word

Sonic & Crackers

Genre: Platformer
Gametype: Prototype
Release Year: 1994
Publisher: SEGA
Players: 1
_________________________
Sonic Crackers, also known by the name in the ROM header, Sonic Studium, is an
early Sonic the Hedgehog prototype game for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. It is
believed to have been an engine test, containing essentially multiple different
game engines, swapped out in realtime using code written into RAM. The concepts,
engine and various other materials in the prototype was subsequently implemented in
the Sega 32X game Knuckles' Chaotix. Sonic Crackers was not a commercial release
but is widely distributed on the Internet.
Gameplay:
The game has Sonic and Tails joined together by a band of rings. This would later
become the idea for Knuckles' Chaotix for the Sega 32X.
The ROM has two "adventure" levels, one of which appears multiple times with a
different palette each time, and two "field" levels. One is highly reminiscent of
the Techno Tower Zone level in Knuckles' Chaotix, the objective being to make it to
the top of the screen; if this is done or three full minutes elapses on the clock,
the Sonic 1 "game over" music plays and the player is brought to the first field
level, featuring a clouded background and a waterfall.
The "field" levels are only half-complete; there is no collision set, and Sonic can
walk anywhere on the field with impunity. If the player pauses and hits a button,
the game goes to a carnival-like level reminiscent of Chaotix' Speed Slider Zone
that goes around in an infinite loop. After one minute has elapsed, the circus
level ends and another "field" level begins. After the player pauses and hits
another button, he or she is brought back to the Techno Tower Zone level with a
different palette, four in all.

_________________________
Sonic & Knuckles is the direct sequel to Sonic the Hedgehog 3 on the Sega Mega
Drive. Released in the same year as its predecessor, the game was the first to
boast the ability of "Lock-On Technology," which allowed the game to interact with
past Sonic the Hedgehog titles. It is the second half of what some consider the
greatest Sonic game of all (Sonic 3 & Knuckles) and the third part in the "Death
Egg Saga", which is currently ongoing in Sonic the Hedgehog 4.
It was also the last Sonic game led by Director Hirokazu Yasuhara. Being the swan
song not just for Yasuhara but ultimately being the final Sonic game released
through the Sega Technical Institute, many people consider the game to be the end
of the "classic" series begun with the first Sonic the Hedgehog.

_________________________
Placing the first Sonic game, or most other Genesis/Mega Drive games, into the
Sonic & Knuckles cartridge will display a screen
depicting Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Robotnik underneath scrolling text that
repeats "No way? No way!". By pressing the A, B and C buttons together, a minigame
based on the Chaos Emerald bonus levels is unlocked, called "Blue Sphere". There
are over 100 million unique levels. The last level, "Special Stage", repeats itself
once the level is beaten. Only by locking the original Sonic the Hedgehog or Sonic
Compilation in the Sonic & Knuckles cart can one play through all the stages. The
other Genesis/Mega Drive games will only play one level each, which will infinitely
repeat. Despite being near randomly generated, the levels are playable for the most
part, even if many bits and pieces of levels get recycled. On another note, some
levels may be nearly impossible to complete while others are not as difficult.

Highlights for version 3.0:
- All level layouts edited (some complete; others pending)
- Each character now has a unique set of moves (though Sonic and Shadow share

Hacked by: JcFerggy, NovaWizard, Puto, Psyc
Version: Hacking Contest 2008 Build
_________________________
Sonic 1 Pixel Perfect is a hack of Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Mega
Drive/Genesis by JcFerggy and NovaWizard. The hack features new extended layouts
and art, custom loops and tubes, dynamic palettes for the acts, and a complete GHZ
layout (with edited boss) as of the first beta release.
General:
Sonic 1 Pixel Perfect started as an art-based hack by JcFerggy. The idea was to
give the player an experience that kept close to the original formula, without
adding any major ASM changes.
History:
Around October of 2007, the team at the time was trying to go in different
directions. Thorn and DNXDelta were planning a whole dynamic music system, with a
strategy oriented layout, while JcFerggy and NovaWizard had more of a passive idea
in mind. Either way the group split. JcFerggy and NovaWizard continued to work on
Pixel Perfect while Thorn and DNXDelta started work on a Sonic 2 hack, Sonic 2
Retro Remix.
Currently:
As of now, Pixel Perfect is still a work in progress, but progress is slow since
JcFerggy has other things to do. The main priority is art, but sometimes JcFerggy
likes to mess around with the loops and tubes. Several people have offered to help
out, but things like that will revealed at the next release/big update.

Gametype: Hack
Release Year: 2004
Players: 1-2 Co-Op
Hacked by: Esrael
Version: 1.0a
_________________________
Sonic 2 Delta II is one of those rare hacks that is actually better than the
original game. The original zones, with a few exceptions, are untouched; this hack
restores zones that were cut during development. While two of these zones (Wood and
Hidden Palace) are available in the prototype ROM floating around the ?net, they
are in an unfinished and nearly unplayable state. One zone, Dust Hill, was restored
based on a single mock-up screenshot; Winter Hill was based on an interview. Even
Casino Night, which received a makeover since its beta state, has been restored to
its former (very pink) look. The only zone that is incomplete in this hack is
Genocide City, which is merely Chemical Plant with a different background and
palette.
In addition to restoring cut zones, the hack adds a few new features: The ring
counter now shows how many rings remain in a zone, the level select menu has been
updated to allow access to the new zones, some Sonic 3 graphics have been ported,
and even Knuckles has been ported from Sonic & Knuckles!
This is one of those hacks that simply must be played, its only flaws are the
somewhat amateur-feeling level designs for the new zones and the fact it does not
work on the real Genesis hardware.

Sonic Gaiden
Media: Cartridge
Controller: Gamepad
Gametype: Hack
Release Year: 2003
Players: 1
Hacked by: Yuski the Dog and Esrael
Version: 0.4
_________________________
Sonic Gaiden is a 2003 fan-made hack of the original Sonic the Hedgehog game for
the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive.
This hack is significant in the Sonic ROM-hacking community for several reasons.
First, it's a hack of a Sonic 1 title; at the time of its release, such hacks were
slightly rarer as Sonic 2 was the most frequently hacked Sonic game. Secondly, it
is a hack of the Japanese Sonic 1 ROM; the U.S. Sonic 1 is more commonly used, but
the Japanese revision has added features such as scrolling clouds and rippling
water. Thirdly, the hack allows the option to play as either Sonic or as Mighty the
Armadillo, who became popular as a founding member of the Chaotix crew and as a
playable character in SegaSonic the Hedgehog. In addition, the hack includes new
levels with new artwork and separate endings for each character.
The hack is a co-operative effort between two noteworthy hackers in the community,
Yuski the Dog and Esrael Neto. Esrael is most famous for his work on Sonic 2 Delta,
a hack of the Sonic 2 Beta ROM which re-coded all the incomplete elements and
restored deleted levels. Yuski had created a previous hack in 2000 called Mighty
the Armadillo which was a sprite and palette hack of the U.S. Sonic 1 ROM. Sonic
Gaiden was born when Esrael e-mailed Yuki a Sonic 1 ROM-hack with both Sonic and
Mighty playable.
The difference between Sonic and Mighty is purely cosmetic. Choosing between the
two is simply a matter of which sprites will be loaded. Therefore, not only do they
both have identical abilities, but Mighty's trademark moves such as spin-dashing
and wall-kicking are absent.
It is worth noting that Mighty may have been an original design prototype for
Sonic. Despite only having appeared in a couple of Sonic games, he has gained a
small fan following.

Players: 1
_________________________
Sonic Jam 6 is a hack of Super 1998 Mario 2, an unlicensed clone of Super Mario
Bros. for the Sega Megadrive that uses tiles appropriated from Super Mario All-
Stars.
The Mario sprite of Super 1998 Mario 2 was replaced by Sonic the Hedgehog, who is
red without a mushroom and blue with one. The title screen was also changed to
feature Sonic, as well as the "intermission" screens that show you the remaining
lives and the "Game Over" screen. Mario's name above the score readout was also
changed to Sonic's. Curiously, the large Mario head in the underground bonus areas
still remains. Controls are also modified; only the C button allows Sonic to jump
and A shoots fireballs (if Sonic has grabbed a Fire Flower.)
The game originated from China.
This game is not to be confused with the legitimate Sega Saturn game Sonic Jam,
although it does use an almost identical title screen.
When running on the popular emulator Gens or the outmoded emulator Genecyst, the
game freezes on world 4-1, as the Lakitu throws so many Spinies that the game
freezes. This is a bug in Gens, and does not occur on Kega Fusion or on a real
Genesis.

_________________________
Sonic 1 Remastered is a hack of Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit) for the Sega Mega
Drive/Genesis by Puto. Unlike most hacks, Remastered isn't a level art/palette hack
as much as an "additional features" hack done in ASM. One of the major additions to
the game is added with the choice of using Sonic, Tails or Knuckles throughout the
game (selecting a character is done at the title screen.) All characters have the
Spin Dash, Sonic has the peelout and high speed dash (an attack that sends you
rolling forward at a specific speed when you press A or B) while Tails flies/swims,
and Knuckles climbs/glides.
Ports of music from the other 16-bit Sonic games and original compositions are
featured in each level.
Features:
- Multiple characters
- Speed limit removed
- New zone title/results font based on Sonic 3 title/results font
- Some art from Sonic 3k, such as the Sonic and Tails sprites, rocks, starposts,
monitors etc
- Spike damage behavior changed to that of Sonic 2
- Abilities gained as Chaos Emeralds are collected (might be subject to change)
- Timer ends after defeating a boss instead of after opening egg prison
- Super Sonic/Tails/Knuckles added
- The ability to carry leftover rings into the next act
- The ability to save your progress to SRAM
- Transitions between different zones
- Elemental Shields from Sonic 3 & Knuckles and the Insta-Shield.
- An options screen with a character choosing, shield style, sprite style,

soundtrack switching, auto rolling switching, retain rings switching, and a sound
test.

_________________________
Its heyday may be long gone, but the Sega Genesis is still holding on. Amongst
certain retro fans, the interest in the old 16-bit console is still strong. 2008
alone has seen the second commercial release of a Genesis game in our millennium
(Super Fighter Team's Legend of Wukong) and the first European Mega Drive
Championship, while the first exclusive Genesis release in a decade, Pier Solar, is
expected to be shipped in the near future.
Nowadays, these new releases have become possible because of fans, enthusiasts, and
tinkerers who have devoted their passion to the Geneses as the console of their
choice. They've decided to not only play the games on the machine, but to also look
into it to see what makes them tick. Up to today though, mostly working with
emulators and communicating over the Internet, the Sega Genesis still has a very
active homebrew scene.
One particular field of interest for these hackers, of course, is the forerunner of
its success: Sonic The Hedgehog! It was he who gave the Genesis the edge in the
console wars of the early nineties. The Sonic games on the Genesis are among the
most lauded and acclaimed video games of that decade, so it comes to little
surprise then, that the Blue Blur has found a particular interest amongst hackers.
Hack Description:
This is a hack which fixes the "Spike bug" and also implements a near perfect
rendition of the Spindash. There is animation while doing the spindash like in the
later games. The only thing missing is the dust underneath.
Special thanks to Lightning & FraGag for their guides on how to implement this.
For some reason it doesn't like opening in a level editor, I don't know why.
However, if you decompress the original Sonic 1 and decompress this ROM, you can
open those decompressed original Sonic 1 files, then after you edit them,
recompress them into the edit? I Think.

_________________________
Sonic: The Lost Land is a hack of Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Mega Drive by
Shadow Fire. The game is comprised of 7 levels, each filled with traps and badniks
intent on bringing down Sonic once and for all. There is also a special realm
consisting of 6 Chaos Emeralds. If you have collected at least 50 rings by the time
you finish the level, you will see a giant ring. Jump into it to be taken to the
secret realm. A dynamic palette system is set up , making each act load its own
palette (a la Knuckles' Chaotix), as well as a dynamic music system, allowing each
act to load its own music.
Story
The Lost Land. A beautiful island paradise, once inhabited by creatures known only
as the ancients. Unfortunately, it has recently come under threat by the mechanic
menace known as EggRobo. Sonic knows that EggRobo must be stopped, and with the
help of Shadow, who is contemplating his future, he sets off to put an end to the
mech's plans.
Characters
Sonic - The Lost Land allows for two playable characters, with the evil Dr Eggman
as the antagonist.
Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic is a blue, 15-year-old hedgehog who lives on the planet Earth. He has the
ability to run at supersonic speeds, hence his name. He is always running all over
the world, rarely stopping for anything. He is carefree and relaxed; however, he is
also very intolerant of injustice, and he will do anything he can to help those in
need. He has also got a quick wit, short temper, and a fairly large ego.
Shadow the Hedgehog
Shadow is the ultimate life form experiment, a joint-creation of Professor Gerald

Robotnik and Black Doom aboard the space colony ARK. His exact age isn't
approximated, but he is assumed to be around 50 years old. Once hungry for revenge
after the death of Maria, Gerald's granddaughter, he is now aware of his past, and
who he "is." He prefers to be a loner, but he occasionally tags along with Sonic
and his friends when Eggman is up to no good. He is black, with red stripes down
his spines and arms. He uses his ability, Chaos Control, to harness the powers of
the Chaos Emeralds to enhance his natural abilities. While he is unable to move
very quickly on his own, he possesses fire-powered jet skates, which allow him to
move much faster than he would be able to without them.
Please note: Shadow is not available in the current or previous releases of this
hack.
EggRobo
Created by the evil genius scientist Dr. Eggman, the EggRobo was originally a decoy
to trick Knuckles into trusting Eggman, who then attempted to steal and harness the
power of the legendary Master Emerald. However, after malfunctioning, he intends to
destroy all organic life on Earth, starting with Sonic the Hedgehog.

dangers you must overcome in order to stop the plans of the maniacal Dr. Eggman.
Only palettes, some slight layout changes and various other small modifications
have been made for the time being, since this hack is on hold for Sonic - The Lost
Land.
Story
The Lost Land. A beautiful island paradise, once inhabited by creatures known only
as the ancients. After managing to overthrow the maniacal Eggman's previous plot,
Sonic stumbles across a hidden part of the Lost Land. Unfortunately, Eggman found
it first, and has already set up base to work on his next evil plot. With Shadow
gone, having left the Lost Land after helping out beforehand, it's only up to the
blue hedgehog to save the world from whatever Eggman is planning.
Characters
Sonic - The Lost Land 2 only allows for one playable character, with the evil Dr
Eggman as the antagonist. Although by using savestates, you can add Tails to the
game.

Dr Ivo Robotnik (EGGMAN)
With an IQ of 300, and self-proclaimed the greatest scientific genius in the world,
Eggman stops at nothing in his attempts at world conquest. While his plans are
constantly foiled by Sonic, this only makes him more determined to conquer the
world. Will he succeed?

Overview:
The ear-splitting cry of a Griffin wracks your brain and echoes down the long dark
corridors of Sorcerer's Kingdom. Only your sense of duty to your King gives you the
courage to venture forth. As you defeat foe after foe in this precarious land, you
feel your muscles growing stronger and your reflexes getting swifter. Up ahead you
finally glimpse the daylight and run for fear of what is closing in behind you. You
find yourself at the edge of a towering cliff where your only hope for escape is to
don your magical wings and fly...
Gameplay:
Sorcerer's Kingdom is a mix of RPG and strategy game. You play a young adventurer,
who is sent out by the king to find out the reason for the increasing number of
monsters that threaten the land and restore peace to the kingdom. Starting out as
an Adventurer you are eventually given higher titles by the king, as a reward for
completing quests.
The game plays like a typical RPG but the battles are a little unusual. Whenever
you are attacked or attack a monster that is within your current range, a turn-
based battle starts immediately without taking you to a separate fighting area, and
you have to fight all enemies that were visible the moment the battle started.
Hints:
- Sound Test -
Right before the Sorcerers kingdom title page comes up imput this code in and hold
them untill you get to a black screen with the soundeffects and music.

I find it hard to say much about this game. I have only found it floating around
the web as a ROM and one buggy as hell at that! When flashed to a cartridge or
when started up in Kega Fusion, the game kept freezing. I only got it to work using
GenS, and even then it didn't run properly, constantly producing a number of very
strange errors (opponent freezing in one place, characters turning into a mass of
jumbled pixels, or hurting yourself by hitting any button!). Also, even if you're
able to control the characters, these controls hardly work at all. In short, the
Genesis Soul Edge is totally unplayable!
Which is a real shame, because it looks very nice; the graphics are colorful, and
the sprites are nicely drawn. Also, the ROM indicates that this would be a 32-bit
game, which is pretty rare as far as pirates go. But the only version of the game
I've found is buggy and incomplete, so unless someone can point out an actual
working version of that game to me, I'll strongly advise against getting this game.
It will only drive you mad!

_________________________
Excerpted from The Journal of Paranormal Phenomena, August 1989
"In the thick Jungles of Cancun I discovered the site of an ancient Mayan temple.
Most unusual was the discovery of a mask quite unlike anything that has been found
before.
Carved from a bone like material it seems to be a representation of a deity. This

mask was attached to the wearer's head with interesting straps that were fashioned
to look like skeletal hands. Ruins found in the area refer to this relic as the
'terror head' or perhaps a better translation would be the terror mask. This is a
breakthrough discovery."
Excerpted from a letter of Dr. Mueller to a friend:
Dear Klaus,
"This mask is incredible. You mentioned reading my piece in JOPP. However, I

couldn't mention in the article the aura of power surrounding this thing. You pick
it up and shiver. A primal wave rushes up your spine. When you visit we'll have to
go over it. The lake is lovely this fall and the fish are biting. See you."
You've come to dread the night. In the clutches of sleep the nightmares begin.
Always the same, Jennifer screaming in the dark until suddenly she stops. Silence,
then the infernal whisperings of the mask begin again.
"Rick, we can save her.... you know we can... remember the power... remember how
much you liked it? The house, Rick.... Jennifer's waiting.... and I'm waiting for
you."
Awake in a sweat with your heart racing you can almost remember the last time.
Locked into the mask, body surging with feral rage and an insatiable hunger. The
cold steel pipe in your hands slick with gore. Under the mask you were smiling. You
know you have to go, to save Jennifer....or so you say.
--From the Genesis Splatterhouse 2 instruction manual.
Directions:
Pick up sticks. And pipes and bones and chainsaws and shotguns and potassium bombs.
Where the in the world are we at? An Al Qaeda birthday party for Osama bin Laden?
Whatever. Just grab anything that looks like a weapon and use it.
How do they expect zombies to get a nourishing meal, when there is nothing for us,
the psycho-killers in the K-Mart masks and their main food supply, to find except
weapons? Not a single real Goodie, like a candybar, to be found.
Nothing. Couldn't the crummy designers have at least put in a candybar?
OK, you got Zombies, Screaming Mimis and Ghouls to kill or avoid. Not a great
selection. Although when they jump you, you better either get away quick or kill
them if you can, cause they can be quite deadly. Avoidance pays off.
And what's that? NO POINTS! Oh, this game really stinks! If I am going to invest
three weeks of my life defeating this game I expect to at least have some points
next to my initials at the end. Otherwise what was it all for? The last game I
played, I spent so much time winning it that my wife divorced me. I lost my job, my
house and my kids, but at least I got some points next to my initials.

_________________________
Apparently this is a hack of the Chinese original Super Mario Bros for Mega Drive
which was a bloody awful game. What I can tell you though is that Squirrel King is
actually pretty good. Graphics throughout the game are of a high standard,
especially for a Chinese original game. Sound is also pretty decent. This game
really holds it's own in the playability department. Everything is just so smooth
as if it was an officially produced game. Animation on the enemies can be a bit
dodgy at times or even no existent but that won't throw you off the enjoyment.
The idea of the game is pretty simple, just get from start to finish avoiding the
enemies and stuff they throw at you. Throughout the levels you'll also find items
that you can pick up to throw at the enemy as well as finding hidden power ups or
life icons. The levels are challenging enough to keep you coming back for more and
don't seem to suffer from any unreachable areas that many games of this type do.
Boss battle I found though a a little tedious but that's just me. All in all,
Squirrel King is a very good Chinese unlicensed game.

Star Control
Region: USA
Media: Cartridge
Controller: Gamepad
Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1991
Developer: Eurocom
_________________________
Star Control is a science-fiction wargame which pits the forces of the Alliance of
Free Stars against those of the predatory Ur-Quan Hierarchy. The games are designed
so that you can ease into play, familiarizing yourself with menus, options and
player controls. The Alliance and Hierarchy each possess different types of
warships. Each vessel has its own maneuvering and firing characteristics, plus a
unique special power that you can employ when circumstances dictate.
Gameplay:
The game featured the basic Spacewar!-style combat engine, M?l?e (as it was called
due to the close combat involved, even though the ships actually fired projectile
weapons at each other and engage one by one) as well as a strategic game engine
with a three-dimensional cluster of stars as the terrain. There was no real story
component to the game, aside from a cursory background story explaining the
existence of two alliances of alien races at war, the Alliance of Free Stars and
the Hierarchy of Battle Thralls. However, the main attraction to this game was the
well thought-out spacecraft design, resulting in a highly effective balance between
the two sides. It could be played by one or two players as the complete game, or
purely as either melee or strategy. Single player mode pitted the player against
the computer AI, that featured a selectable ferocity.
As in the later games, the various races' ships have widely differing appearances
and abilities. The ships' sizes, maneuverability, and speed vary; in addition, each
ship has a distinct primary weapon and a secondary ability. For instance, the Ur-
Quan Dreadnought has a powerful main gun and the ability to launch independent
fighters; while the Mmrnmhrm Transformer has the ability to change between two
forms, a slow but quickly-turning one with a short-range laser as its main weapon,
and the other quick but slowly-turning with long-range guided missiles. Despite the
mishmash of unique ships the designers were able to create a finely-tuned balance.
Hints:
- Add Precursor relics to any Full Game scenario -

In the Full Game module, select a scenario to play, choose visible or hidden stars,
then tap the B button to read through the scenario description. As the ''ENTERING
NEW STAR CLUSTER'' screen appears, immediately press and hold the left arrow on the
controller's directional pad (''D-pad''). Continue to hold the D-pad in the left
direction until the star cluster appears, then release it.
There will now be Precursor relics at most of the unexplored stars in the cluster.

_________________________
The Romulans request permission to enter the Neutral Zone in order to search for a
team of their researchers that they claim has gone missing. The USS Enterprise is
sent to monitor their activities and find out their real motives.
Gameplay is divided into three parts: commanding the Enterprise from the bridge,
controlling an away team on a planetary mission and combat with other ships.
From the bridge you can control all of the ships main functions. Conn: Set course
to a different planet or sector. Communication: Communicate: with other ships.
Sensors: Receive information on your surroundings or planets you are orbiting.
Computer: Access a database that contains lots of information on planets, races,
technology, your crew etc. Engineering: If the Enterprise got damaged during
combat, you can use this command to allocate resources to the different parts of
the ship that need to be repaired. Briefing Room: Receive orders and information on
your current mission. Tactical Station: Engage in combat. Transporter: Assemble an
away team and beam it down to a planet (which is only possible if your current
mission requires it).
Before starting an away mission, you have to assemble a team of four crew members
that differ in strength and in tactical and technical ability. Some crew members
also have special abilities, Dr. Crusher can heal other crew members, Geordi and
Data can see in the dark and Data can survive without air. Away missions are shown
from a top-down perspective and you can control each team member individually or
order different members to follow your currently selected character around. Most
away missions are a mixture of simple (real time) combat and puzzle solving that
usually consists getting hints from tricorder readings and finding objects that
have to be used in the correct way.
Ship battles are also seen from a top-down perspective and let you attack enemy
ships with phasers and photon torpedoes, while keeping an eye or your shields and
trying to dodge you enemy's torpedoes. If your ship too heavily damaged you can
surrender and hope that your enemy spares you.
While the SNES and Genesis versions are essentially the same games, there are some
noticeable differences. The Genesis version plays considerably faster during ship
battles and on away missions as well as on the bridge (meaning it takes much less
time to repair the ship). There are many graphical differences and the map layout
for away missions is slightly different from the SNES version as well.
Trivia:
Though information on a Borg cube is present in the ship's database, and a sprite
set for the vessel is resident in the game's memory, it does not appear in-game at
all.
The game misspells Senatorious several times, providing a confusing list of

spellings for the race.
This is one of the few Star Trek games in which Klingons do not make an appearance.
This game was released for both the SNES and Sega Genesis; though the plot and most
gameplay elements were maintained, there are many significant differences that
cause gameplay discrepancies. The Genesis version has diplomatic sequences wherein
the player reasons with various entities (ranging from Romulan commanders to miners
on a desolate moon), and the results have profound outcomes on the course of play.
The SNES lacks this feature entirely, and the sequence at the end of the game where
Jean-Luc Picard speaks with the IFD's interface-analogue is eschewed, and replaced
with what amounts to a single "congratulations" screen, with no resolution to the
story. Also, the SNES version makes mandatory a mission that is secret in the
Genesis version (it is very difficult to unlock and requires a lengthy diplomatic
exchange with a Chodak captain; the mission is exceptionally difficult, and is made
more harrowing by the fact that only one attempt at the mission is allowed and
failure means the opportunity to complete the mission is lost forever, but it is
not part of the Genesis storyline and the game can be completed in its entirety
without the player even knowing about this mission). It is a mark of pride to be
able to complete this mission at all, and due to its uncalled-for level of
difficulty, it nearly renders the SNES version unplayable. Other differences
include the order in which events occur, changes to level maps, a limited amount of
phaser energy and an unbreathable atmosphere in the Oriens Gamma IIIB mines in the
SNES version (which further augmented its already obscene difficulty, the latter
forcing the player to begin each of its sections, which were thickly-laden with
monsters, using Lieutenant Commander Data, who, being an android, is not required
to respirate, to restore air circulation for other crew members), and the absence
of Dr. Beverly Crusher's medkit in the Genesis version, which allowed the player to
heal other members of the awayteam during the course of away missions.
The spud-like monsters resident in the Oriens Gamma IIIB mines do not attack Deanna
Troi. Ostensibly this is because she is an empath.
The game sports a number of ensigns and lesser crewmen who do not appear in the
televised series and in fact were created specifically for this game. Each of these
crewmen is actually one of the game's designers, dressed in Starfleet uniforms,
their visage pixelized and incorporated into the game as portraits seen when
selecting crewmen for awayteams. Incidentally, there are two mutually-exclusive
sets of non-canon crewmen for each game, and the SNES version includes Ed Semrad,
who was then an editor for Electronic Gaming Monthly. His reason for appearing in
the game is not known.

Genre: Racing
Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1996
Developer: Vivid Image
Publisher: Ubisoft
Players: 1 to 8 VS
_________________________
Street Racer is a racing game, similar to Super Mario Kart, released for the Super
Nintendo and Sega Mega Drive in 1994, the Sega Saturn, PlayStation and Game Boy in
1996, and also the Amiga, Amiga CD32, and PC. It was made by UbiSoft and Vivid
Image, and features nine cartoon characters which you could race with, one of which
being a secret character unlockable by completing the game. It was one of the first
games to feature multi-tap compatibility, and was the first racing game to allow 8
players to race simultaneously.
Despite the similar logo style Street Racer has no connection to the Street Fighter
series by Capcom, nor to the game Street Racing Syndicate by Namco.
Gameplay:
The game features the ability to race the Street Racer Championship, beginning with
the Bronze Championship and moving on to the Silver Championship, Gold Championship
and Platinum Championship. Each championship gave you, after winning, a new
password which could be entered on the Options Screen in order to unlock new
tracks. The winner of the championship would be the driver with the most points
after every race has been completed. Points are awarded according to the final
positioning of each race, with bonus points awarded to the driver with the most
punches, the most stars collected, the fastest lap, a record lap and drivers who
lapped other drivers. The Championship could be raced in Championship, Head-to-head
or Practice mode.
The game also featured the ability to choose the tracks for a Custom Championship,
to drive a head-to-head series with a CPU driver, and to drive individual practice
races. There was also a racing game called "Rumble", the objective being to knock
the drivers out of a ring. It could be played in 3 levels of difficulty. Also, a
"Soccer" mode (not in the Playstation version) featured a field to play against all
other characters, with a giant soccer ball and a single goal for all. The score
wasn't of team play though.
For all modes of play, whether Championship, Custom Championship, Rumble, or

Soccer, Street Racer allowed the setting of many of the game parameters.
- Characters -
There were 8 characters who could be raced with in Street Racer. These were:
- Hodja Nasreddin - A 400 plus year old Turkish magician, described as

'friendly' and 'wise'
- Frank Instein - A 100 year old, big, green, Frankenstein lookalike
- Suzulu - A middle-aged African Voodoo specialist
- Biff - A 19 year old typical 'school bully' figure from America
- Raphael - A young, 'cool' pimp figure from Italy who 'secretly admired' Surf
- Surf Sister - A young Australian girl with a 'degree in mechanics'
- Helmut von Pointenegger - A retired German pilot and veteran of the First
World War
- Sumo-San - A Japanese sumo wrestler from the future
- Comeeo- A fat pimp from Austin who wants to pimp out the other racers.
Each character has four special moves. They have a defensive move, an attacking
move and left and right punches, which vary for each character. These moves are
unlimited and do not require pick ups making it unique from most racing games.
After winning the Platinum Championship a ninth character, Rabbit, also becomes
available. Rabbit's abilities are similar to Raphael's, but slightly better all
around. After Rabbit is unlocked one driver is randomly left out of each
championship or race so that there are only eight drivers racing on the track.
- Tracks -
At first there are only eight tracks available on Street Racer. There is one track
for each driver, named after the driver with the number one after (for example,
Frank 1). After winning the Silver Championship a second track for each driver
becomes available, and after winning the Gold Championship a third becomes
available. When Rabbit is unlocked after winning the Platinum Championship three
more tracks themed around Wonderland also become available.
Each set of tracks is themed around the track they are named after, with in-race
music to suit. For example, Hodja's tracks have a magical theme and music, whilst
Sumo-San has upbeat, futuristic, oriental music with a very Middle Eastern style of
race track.
Hints:
- Edit Stats -
On the character select screen, press: A, B, C, A, B, C, A, B. Now select a
character, hold A and use the control pad to edit your driver's stats.
- Gold Cup -
Access to the Options Screen and then scroll down to highlight the Cup Password
Option. Enter the password BEFQMR to unlock the Gold Cup.
- Mega Password -
Option. Enter the mega password HJACUY to unlock all Cups.
- Silver Cup -

_________________________
Streets of Rage 3, called Bare Knuckle III in Japan, is a side-scrolling beat 'em
up released by Sega in 1994 for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. It is the last part of
the Streets of Rage series and a sequel to Streets of Rage 2.
The game features several enhancements over Streets of Rage 2 such as a more
complex plot, multiple endings, longer levels, more in-depth scenarios (with
interactive levels and the return of traps like pits) and faster gameplay (with
dash and dodge moves). Weapons can now only be used for a few times before breaking
and can now be integrated with unique moves with certain characters, hidden
characters have been added along with several cutscenes to give the story greater
depth. Controls are identical to its predecessors.
Compared to its prequels, Streets of Rage 3 is a less common and more expensive
game to find second-hand in its original Mega Drive form. It has, however, been
released for the Japanese version of Sonic Gems Collection for the GameCube and
PlayStation 2, and for the Wii's Virtual Console service. The game also appeared in
Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
Streets of Rage 3 was not as successful as its predecessors for several reasons,
most prominently the soundtrack. Though still composed by Yuzo Koshiro like the
previous installments, Koshiro took a more experimental approach with the music
inspired by Detroit's hard techno scene which was popular in Japanese night clubs
at the time. It is said to have fared poorly when transitioned to the Mega Drive's
sound chip. These problems are exacerbated on a PAL console, due to the unoptimised
drop from a 60Hz refresh rate to 50Hz, effectively ruining large parts of the game.
Prototype screenshots show that a motorcycle stage was planned, with some code
still present in the final ROM. It is unknown why this feature was axed.

_________________________
Streets of Rage 3 was the third SOR title, a 24-meg cart released by SEGA in 1994
exclusively on its most popular console, the Mega Drive. It featured a whole host
of gameplay upgrades and innovative ideas that arguably made it the best title in
the series (technically speaking, at least): the ability to run and dodge made for
much faster gameplay, and a whole new set of moves with support for the 6-button
SEGA controller. There was now a more complex plot and multiple ending scenarios.
The game featured a new playable character who was central to the storyline: Dr.
Zan, and also unlockable characters Shiva (Mr. X's right hand man) and Roo (a
boxing kangaroo), alongside Skate and series regulars Axel and Blaze. Adam and Max
are only seen in the game's cutscenes/endings.
In Bare Knuckle III, the Asian-region version of the game, Mr. X's Syndicate
detonates a nuclear bomb in Wood Oak City, killing thousands of people. They then
kidnap General Petrov, the highest ranking member of the US Military so that they
can send an imposter to take his place and stir up a nuclear war between the United
States and the country of Lima. Mr. X is now a brain in a jar, having lost his body
in the events of Streets of Rage 2.
This storyline (and intro cutscene) was censored in Streets of Rage 3 (A more
detailed look at these differences can be found in our dedicated Bare Knuckle III
section) - General Petrov was replaced by the Chief of Police, and the Syndicate
was instead trying to replace key city officials with robot doubles, so that X
could rule the city by remote control.
As one of the four playable characters, you must battle your way through 6 levels
of hot SOR action to rescue General Petrov/Police Chief O'Hara. If you don't reach
him in time, you have to go to the White House/City Hall and stop Shiva from
stirring up trouble. If you do manage to rescue him, however, you go to the
Syndicate Stronghold where the X Robots are being produced, and after a
confrontation with Dr. Dahm, you must face Mr. X himself, who battles with a robot
body called 'Robot Y'.
Streets of Rage 3's soundtrack is more abrasive and experimental than the classic
club tunes of the previous titles, and as a result it was less popular with most
players, though it does have its fans.
Introduces: ZAN, SHIVA, ROO (playable), ASH (Bare Knuckle III Only)

Super Donkey Kong '99
Media: Cartridge
Genre: Platformer
Gametype: Pirate
_________________________
An unlicensed pirate port of Rage's legendary platform games for the Super
Nintento. These games were released towards the end of the 16bit era, just as the
32bit consoles were being launched, and were supposed to show that there was still
life left in Nintendo's aging 16bit platform. To a greater or lesser degree they
succeeded wowing everyone with their superb graphics and great level design they
became huge hits and helped Nintendo keep the SNES alive a little longer whilst
they continued to develop the N64.
Seems to steal graphics from all three games in the series, the level graphics for
instance look like they are mainly taken from the third game whilst the main
character is stolen straight out of the first game and the baddies seem to be taken
from all three games. Unfortunately it's lost something in the translation, the
graphics don't seem quite as sharp as the originals and the cleverly designed
levels and gameplay elements are also absent. The main thing that's missing is the
'tag team' style gameplay where you need to use the right character to reach
certain parts of the levels, here you just get to control Donkey Kong himself. The
game relies far too heavily on split second timing and pixel perfect leaps and
you'll quickly grow frustrated with the poor level design. If you want to play the
Donkey Kong Country games then I strongly suggest that you seek out the SNES
originals instead.

Hints:
- Extra Time Out -

After running out of regular time outs, pause the game and press A to call a extra
time.
- Easily block kicks -

When the computer is going for a field goal or extra point, take control of one of
the defensive players all the way in the back of the field goal block formation.
When the ball is snapped, run at the long snapper, then turbo at the kicker and
jump. The glitch comes in the form is the long snapper never bothering to try
blocking you, and you'll be able to block virtually any kick with ease.
- Easy defense -
When on defense, pick the Suicide defense and take control of either one of the two
nose guards. Hold down the Turbo button and direction yourself at the quarterback
before the ball is even snapped. On virtually every single play, you'll blast
through the line and nail the quarterback before he can even move regardless of
whether or not the play is a run or pass, simply because the offensive line never
bothers to block you when this trick is performed.

Super Mario Bros. II

Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Platformer
Gametype: Pirate
Release Year: 200x
Players: 1-2
_________________________
Here, the naming situation seems to be a bit confusing at first. As far as I can
tell, the first Mario game that was unofficially programmed was the Genesis Super
Mario World, the strange hack of an unfinished Chip 'n Dale prototype (on the
pirate market released under the name of Squirrel King, by the way). So, this here
is the second Mario game for the Genesis, even though it's a port of the original
Super Mario Bros.
The programmers who dealt with this port didn't quite have the troubles the porters
of Aladdin II went through in order to match the game to cartridge size: They
simply took the Super Nintendo game Super Mario All-Stars, which included Super
Mario Bros. 1-3 and the former Japanese-only Lost Levels, and only left the very
first game in! That way, they could leave the entire game intact rather
effortlessly. Well, more or less, at least.
This port is more or less the polar opposite of Aladdin II, quality-wise. Sounds
and Graphics have hardly suffered, so you get the original Mario themes to each
stage, and the level layout hasn't been touched at all. Unfortunately, the controls
and game mechanics are an entirely different matter.
The control scheme has been changed to fit the three-button layout of the Genesis
pad. Ignoring the old mantra "If it ain't broke, don't attempt to fix it," they
decided to switch some of the controls around. So now, C makes you jump, B is the
Dash, and A is - if you've picked the flower - the fireball. They hadn't changed
the old two-button layout for the SNES-version, and for good reason: The old two-
button scheme was simple and worked just fine. An additional button makes it a bit
harder if you want to fire in the midst of a sprint-jump, for example.
Furthermore, Mario is hardly controllable at all whenever you're dashing or

jumping. Mario Bros. always hard floaty physics, but you could usually pinpoint a
jump quite well. Here, trying to control Mario feels more like trying to steer a
cow over thin ice sliding uncontrollably, hardly able to change direction, and
once it starts moving, you never now when it'll stop, though it usually ends up
being into an opponent or at the bottom of a pit. Also, the porters followed the
"jump on an opponent" formula of dispatching enemies a bit too closely: You can
even kill foes who originally were immune to these kind of attacks, like the venus
Fly Traps or the spikes!
And finally, there are the glitches! Super Mario Bros. 2 is full of them, and they
range from smaller graphical issues (The green Luigi sprite turning into a red
Mario when having the flower-power up and getting hit) to annoying (fireballs or
Bowser turning into a mess of jumbled pixels) to downright irritating (gravity and
jumping occasionally spinning out of control whenever floating platforms are
involved for example, which leads to many accidental deaths).
While it is a nice oddity to have, gameplay-wise the quality of this port is pretty
shoddy. The bad controls make the game way harder than it was before, and the
glitches and bugs make the whole game more irritating than enjoyable. Still, when
you see this cartridge, I would pick it up, if only for the curiosity-factor!
FUN FACT: There is a Sonic pirate out there (My cart reads Sonic 6, but I've also
seen it floating around under the label of Sonic Jam) that is actually a sprite
hack of this game! The Mario sprite has been replaced by a red Sonic that turns
blue when picking up a mushroom, though all other power ups have also remained in
their original Mario Bros. state! Even more oddly, the controls of Sonic seem a bit
more tighter than in Mario Bros. 2, making playing that game a tad more enjoyable!

Developer: Tradewest
Players: 1 to 4 VS
_________________________
Enter the world of off-road racing as 4 vehicles will face each other, on a series
of tracks which are based around flipped and reversed versions of a core selection.
Fame, glory and bikini clad women await your victories and the taste of dirt awaits
if you fail. Let a computer car beat you and you lose one of your 3 credits.
Successful races bring more money, which can be used to soup up their machine.
Boosts to top speed, grip and acceleration can be purchased, and your nitro boost
must be kept topped up. If you are desperate for upgrades, you can buy into your
spare credits
Only your off-road driving abilities will be enough to pull you to first place in
these races. Play alone or with up to 3 other players (depending on the version) in
this conversion of a classic arcade game.
Gameplay:
In the game, up to 3 players (4 in the NES version through use of either the NES
Satellite or NES Four Score) compete against each other or the computer in racing
around several top-view indoor off-road truck tracks of increasing difficulty. Good
results earn the player points to continue in the championship and money with which
to upgrade their truck or buy more nitro boosters. The goal is to reach the end of
the season with the most money earned. Continues are available but whereas players
can get extra money in the arcade version, in the home versions, the player's money
is reset to 0. This is one of the first games where the player could upgrade his or
her vehicle by earning points or money (although in Atari Games' Sprint series, one
could upgrade their racer using wrenches), a system that is used in most arcade-
style racing games today.
Hints:

A vague descendant of Super Sprint with a mass of features, and one of the last
multi-format games to have roots on the Amiga.
A multitude of cars are available, ranging from F1 cars and Sportscars to Minis and
VWs were on offer, with the option to have up to 8 of these on more powerful
machines - with up to 3 different models of car. You could link 2 Amiga 1200s (or
faster) and use them to display the track across 2 separate screens. There were two
novelty options of sorts as well - motorized cows, and the chance to have the cars
pulling caravans as you race - using the caravan to push an opponent off-line was a
skill worth mastering.
24 circuits are provided, all of them with walls around them to ensure crash-bang-
wallop racing, and most of them have parts which cross with other parts, making
collisions possible if you're much ahead of (or behind) other cars (fortunately
there's no car damage). They can be raced forwards or backwards - perhaps the first
game with this feature available. You could either run single races, or one of the
in-built championships - one for each car, across a specially selected set of
tracks.
The customizable nature of the game goes even further - the number of laps can be
set, as can the colour and power of the cars. As you repeatedly race a track, the
markings on the course are eroded by the cars running over them.

_________________________
Weatherded and damaged, Thunder Blade returned victorious from its last mission
against the renegade troops. But, this was not to be its last flight.
Reorganized with mega amounts of devastating militar electronics and weapons, the
renegade troops have once again focused their sights on dominating the free world.
From a secret power base in the East, they unleash their deadly troops who will
take to land, sea, and air power- fully armed.
But so are you. From the cockpit of this remodified bird, you've got a state-of-
the-art defense system at your fingertips. An aerodynamically designed alloy body
flies up to 523 kph while a 20 mm Gatling Gun fires up to 4,800 shots a minute. A
computer-aided flight system takes you through even the most hostile environments.
Don't worry, you're firing cannons and dropping air-to-surface AATM missiles from
your skids, so there's no stopping you and the greatest chopper in the sky.
Your objective is to blow the central enemy base sky high. But getting there is
easier said than done. There are four stages to this game where you'll encounter
cities, deserts, caves, oceans, and refineries. The strategy is easy, shoot
straight, be brave, and just maybe you'll get your wings out of this mission. The
free world as we know it, depends on you.
--From the Genesis Super Thunder Blade instruction manual.
Gameplay:
As in its predecessor, the player takes control of an helicopter which is used to

attack a group of guerrillas. The helicopter itself uses guns and missiles, and can
also air brake. A distinctive feature that also appears in the arcade game is the
use of different viewpoints during the entire game; during normal gameplay and when
fighting sub-bosses, the game utilizes a third-person perspective from behind the
helicopter, similar to Space Harrier, but the camera changes to a top-down
perspective when fighting bosses. Super Thunder Blade had four stages of play.

fire your weapon continuously in levels 1 through 3.

and Big Tweety who will try to stop you. Sylvester can pick up things such as
boxing gloves and bones to fight these enemies. He can also use things such as
umbrellas and boxes to try and reach Tweety. He also has "Tweety scope" which
locates where Tweety is.
Sylvester can also hide from his enemies behind lamps or in barrels. Depeding on
what difficulty you choose at the beginning of the game depends on how far you can
get. If you only put the difficulty at 0% you can only do 1 level. You can also
gain points by knocking things off the shelves or from bags of catnip.
- Levels -
Domestic Devils- The first level is in Granny's house, which means that Granny and
Spike are guarding Tweety. The player chases Tweety from the living room all the
way to the attic.
Domestic Devils 2- The backyard is full of different challenges. From the picket
fence to the clothesline and electrical wires, Sylvester must calm Spike down in
order to pursue Tweety up into the heights of his bird house.
Mayhem Express- From the luggage car to the train roof, Sylvester must pursue
Tweety out of the train. But beware of freight doors which suck Sylvester back to
the beginning of the level. Figure out how Hipperty Hopper actually helps Sylvester
out of the level!
Back Alley Blues- A fence and an alleyway hide a huge apartment building which
Tweety is trying to get to. Sylvester has to use flag polls and window ledges to
trap Tweety and also avoid the alley cats, which pelt Sylevester with boots and
books. Rocky and Mugsy can be seen as a silhouette in the apartment windows, as
well as Spike the Bulldog and Chester the Terrier and Hipperty Hopper.
Hyde and Shriek- Sylvester has followed Tweety into Dr Jekyll's lab, and Tweety has
swallowed some of the formula which turns him into a giant Tweety. The only thing
to use against the monster is a bottle of Antidote potion. Avoid the Tweety
monster, but resume the chase when Tweety shrinks down to his original size.
Hyde and Shriek 2- Sylevster has swallowed another of Jekyll's potions which
shrinks him down. The smallest of beaks now becomes the biggest of obstacles in
this oversized version of the lab. Watch out for bunsen burners and electric
sparks. Use the transporter to change locations quickly.
Oceans of Trouble- This is the last level which takes place on a boat. Sylevester
must fight his old enemies again for the last time to reach Tweety. Jump from the
dock to a maze of portholes. Head up to the deck to eventually capture Tweety.

T2: The Arcade Game
Region: USA
Media: Cartridge
Controller: Menacer; Gamepad
Genre: Light Gun
Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1991
Developer: Midway
Publisher: Acclaim, Midway
_________________________
The #1 arcade shooting game of all time explodes onto Genesis. You're a T-800
terminator with an awesome array of weapons: rapid-fire machine gun, shotgun,
rockets and an M-79 grenade launcher. Blast endoskeletons and Hunter Killers...
terminate the liquid-metal T-1000 or be terminated!
Gameplay:
Running on the once-popular Williams/Midway Y-Unit arcade hardware, the 2 players

essentially take part in controlling a T-800 model and gun down the terminators of
the opposing side in a light gun style fashion, even though the controller was
technically a joystick. The gameplay utilizes a first-person perspective, like the
rest of the games in the genre, but what was noteworthy about T2 was the use of
digitized actors from footage specially shot during the making of the film. This
made for realistic 2D sprites in a Light gun game for the time. Arnold
Schwarzenegger, Robert Patrick, and Eddie Furlong all reprised their respective
roles for the making of the arcade game. Linda Hamilton does not play Sarah Connor
in any footage of the game; she is instead played by Debbie Evans.
In the demo sequence, the game has been rated "R" (for Righteous) by the Motion
Picture Gaming Association of America.
Hints:
- Level Skip -
When the words 'Press Start' appear on the title screen, press Up, Down, Left and
Right twice. You know the cheat will work if Arnie says 'excellent'. To skip the
level, pause the game and press B and C together to be taken to the analysis
screen.
- Unlimited Firepower -
To get unlimited firepower use a rapid fire controller.

Release Year: 1992
Developer: Tecmo
Publisher: Tecmo
_________________________
Tecmo Cup Football Game is a 1993 video game published by Sega with license from
Tecmo for the Mega Drive/Genesis and released only in Europe. The game greatly
resembles the Captain Tsubasa series and games in appearance of characters and
gameplay. A similar game was released a year before for the Nintendo Entertainment
System under the title Tecmo Cup Soccer Game.
With the success that Tecmo had with the Captain Tsubasa games in Japan, the
company was inspired to release a similar game outside Japan, for the Sega Mega
Drive/Genesis. The result was Tecmo Cup Football Game, a Captain Tsubasa clone
featuring a nearly identical looking, only avoiding the original Captain Tsubasa
characters' and instead replacing them with similar redesigned ones, following
characteristics from the German ethnicity (mostly spiky blonde/brown hair and large
blue eyes) along with using western names. The Captain Tsubasa game engine was
reused.
Features:
Unlike other soccer simulators, Tecmo Cup Football Game plays more like a role-
playing game. The player runs around the field normally, but when he comes into
contact with an opposing team member, a turn-based 'battle' is initiated. The
player then has the option to perform a variety of moves such as dribbling,
tackling and shooting, in addition to player-specific moves, some of which are
physics-defying and destructive.
Though sporting the addictive novel gameplay of the Captain Tsubasa games, Tecmo
Cup Football Game fared poorly in sales due to lack of marketing by Tecmo and its
reputation as a mere rip-off [2] of Captain Tsubasa. Thus, this game is virtually
unheard of even amongst hardcore fans of the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis.

Release Year: 1994
Developer: Tecmo
Publisher: Tecmo
_________________________
Tecmo Super Baseball is a professional baseball video game that was released in
1994 for the Super NES and Sega Mega Drive gaming systems. It features all 28 MLB
teams that existed at the time. However, the only license the game has is the MLBPA
license. This means that while the game does feature actual players, there are no
team names or logos. The teams wear uniforms without logos and are only named by
their city (the teams that share the cities of Chicago and New York are separated
by having either an A or N after their name, denoting their league).
Gameplay:
- Pre-Season -
This is a single exhibition game between any two teams. The player can face the
computer, play against another player, or let the computer go at it. In addition,
there is the coach option, which allows the player to act as a manager. In this
mode, the player selects what kind of pitches will be thrown and what kind of
batting swings will be taken, but then lets the computer execute the actions.
- Season -
The player selects the status of all 28 teams (play, coach, watch, or skip) and
goes through a complete season (the schedule is based on the 1993 season), ending
with the playoffs and finally the World Championship Series. Along the way, stats
are kept for every team and player in the league.
- Super Stars -
A game can be played between the Super Star teams (a copyright-free name for the
All-Star teams). Players can use either the All-Star teams from 1993 or draft their
own team.
- Team Data -
Here, players can view all of the players' statistics from 1993, as well as their
statistics for the game's current season, if one is in progress.

Tecmo Super Bowl
Region: USA
Media: Cartridge
Controller: Gamepad
Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1993
Developer: Tecmo
Publisher: Tecmo
_________________________
What do you get when you take one of the greatest sports games for the platform and
add improved graphics, more players, more plays and lifelike AI? You get Tecmo
Super Bowl, a superb football game that is the precusor to any modern day football
game. Choose your team from the 28 NFL teams (this is 1991) with real players from
those teams and the ability to sub in offensive players! Unlike its predecessor, in
Tecmo Super Bowl, you can pick your plays from a playbook for a total of eight
different plays! You can also save your season stats as the season goes on, along
with your game via battery. All your favorite NFL players are here. But on some eye
black, don your pads and get ready for bone-crushing football action!
Gameplay:
Tecmo Super Bowl expanded on the features used first in Tecmo Bowl. To do this, TSB
replicated certain aspects of the National Football League's version of American
football.
Every team in TSB was modeled after a real life NFL franchise. The teams used the
same logos and the same city affiliations used by the NFL. As in real life, each
team had its own offensive playbook, but unlike real life the defense must simply
chose from the offensive team's plays in an attempt to anticipate specific plays
(thus, there are no specific defensive plays or formations).
In the original NES Tecmo Bowl, each team had 20 players on its roster, with nine
players for offense, nine players for defense, a kicker, and a punter. In Tecmo
Super Bowl, each roster had roughly 30 different players. Each team had eleven
defensive players, which could not be substituted, nor injured. Each team had
seventeen offensive players, which included eleven starters and six substitutes. At
any given time, eleven players were on the field for each team, consistent with NFL
rules. A kicker and a punter were also on the roster.[2][3]
In addition to using real teams and players, TSB incorporated the full-length 1991
NFL regular season schedule for the game. The playoff format, including the Super
Bowl and the post-season Pro Bowl games, was also used.
Tecmo Super Bowl retained the arcade-style football gameplay of the original which
included the ability to break tackles (many players had "94" hitting power ratings,
giving them the ability break any non-sliding tackles). However, the game added new
features, such as statistics tracking that included All-Time NFL season records,
expanded and editable playbooks[4], the ability to substitute players, varying
conditions of players, fumbles, and player injuries. As it had previously, the game
used cutscenes for important events like touchdowns and halftime shows. Tecmo Super
Bowl also added cutscenes when injuries or big plays occurred.

Tecmo Super Bowl 2 was an update of the previous Tecmo Super Bowl released on

Nintendo and Sega Mega Drive/Genesis in 1994. The game still had all of Tecmo's
revolutionary features (breaking tackles), but now teamed with the NFL Players
Association, the game had names for nearly all of its players, with a few players
still under generic names (Like WR Niners).
The game also added a new feature, Player Trades. Gamers were allowed to trade for
four weeks before the season. For the first time, Jerry Rice could play for the
Cowboys, or Deion Sanders could play for the Pittsburgh Steelers. The game was
somewhat well known when it was released, but now, the game is relatively rare.

Publisher: Tecmo
_________________________
A late entry in what was once the premiere football simulation, TSB III has updated
rosters and teams for the 1994-1995 season and is licensed by both the NFL and the
Players group. Features real NFLP players and photos, the real NFL schedule, and
weekly standings. You can change defensive and offensive formations, create your
own Pro Bowl, fake punts and field goals, go for the two point conversion, and call
audibles. Updates to the game itself include new cinema screens, superstar mode,
free agency system, improved graphics, larger field simulation, passing modes, and
improved speech and music. Horizontal scrolling. Also features battery back-up.
Gameplay:
Tecmo Super Bowl 3 is the final Tecmo football game to be released on the Super
Nintendo Entertainment System and the Sega Genesis. Nintendo Power magazine
featured it on its short-lived feature that specialized in sports games. The full
NFL license is used and the action is realistic for a side-view football game.
The game is closer to the real-life sport in comparison to its NES predecessors in
several ways. Each team has a playbook of 8 passing plays and 8 running plays, any
one of which can be switched out and another put in its place in the middle of a
game. It also included some of the more nuanced strategies of football, such as
attempting two-point conversions, and onside kicks. Also setting itself apart from
the NES-era games was the in-game presentation, which is more akin to the realistic
"TV style" presentation of modern football games like the Madden series. After a
big offensive play, or a turnover or sack on defense, a box would appear on screen
with a small grayscale picture of the player involved alongside his current
statistics for the game.
The series' shift towards greater realism is also reflected in the game's season
mode, which included a full 16-game NFL schedule and playoffs. Firstly, it records
fairly detailed statistics of each game, and records and save cumulative statistics
for each team in the league throughout the season. Also throughout the season the
game would maintain a list of leaders across the league in each major statistical
category, and would record when a player or team broke an NFL record. The rosters
for each team can also be customized by the user, and the stating lineup of a user-
controlled team can be changed at any point in Season mode. Tecmo Super Bowl III's
season mode also features occasional injuries, which would last for varied amounts
of time just as in real life.

Tecmo's first and only hockey game for the Genesis features an NHLPA license for
real players with ratings based on the 1993-94 season. Players are rated in speed,
agility, stamina, passing, shot accuracy and stick handling, while goalies have
additional ratings in defending left and right. The game is played from a
horizontal view of the ice as one or two players compete in a Season, All-Star or
Preseason game. Options include three levels of difficulty, three game speeds,
adjustable period lengths (5, 10, 15 or 20 minutes), line changes (none, automatic
or manual), fights and penalties (icing, offsides, interference and personal
fouls).
Individual team statistics, standings and season progress are saved to battery, as
well as league leaders in total goals, goal percentage, GAA, total assists, save
percentage, total points, number of shutouts and PIM. Cinema screens will appear
whenever you lay out an opponent with a devastating check or blast a slapshot past
the goalie, and you can also review your shots with instant replay. Sports fans
take note: Tecmo Super Hockey does not include an NHL license for authentic teams
and logos, so clubs are represented by city name only. Unlike Tecmo's other 16-bit
sports titles, this game was only released on the Genesis platform.
Gameplay:
Tecmo's take on ice hockey, Tecmo Super Hockey features the license from the NHLPA,
having the top players of the game at the time. It offers exhibition and regular
games as well as playing a season with updated stats and the ability to play in the
All-Star game as well. Gameplay is similar to other games, with buttons to pass,
shoot, making slap-shots and fake shots, as well as fighting, which is not a common
feature. It can be played by two players simultaneously.

The Duel: Test Drive II
Region: USA

Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Racing
Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1992
Developer: Distinctive Software
Publisher: Accolade
Players: 1
_________________________
Like the original Test Drive, the focus of The Duel is driving exotic cars through
dangerous highways, evading traffic, and trying to escape police pursuits. While
the first game in the series had the player simply racing for time in a single
scenario, Test Drive II improves upon its predecessor by introducing varied
scenery, and giving the player the option of racing against the clock or competing
against a computer-controlled opponent.
Directions:
Take the ultimate car on the road for a test drive. Put the pedal the metal and
speed past the opposition, watch for traffic and make sure that you do not get
caught by the police for speeding. Select scenery to drive by and blow past it to
take first place!
Gameplay:
The player initially is given the opportunity to choose a car to drive and a level
of difficulty, which in turn determines whether the car will use and automatic or
manual transmission--the number of difficulty options varies between gaming
platforms. Levels begin with the player's car (and the computer opponent, if
selected) idling on a roadway. Primarily these are two to four lane public highways
with many turns; each level is different, and they include obstacles such as
bridges, cliffs, and tunnels in addition to the other cars already on the road.
Each level also has one or more police cars along the course.
The goal of each level is to reach the gas station at the end of the course in the
least amount of time. Stopping at the gas station is not mandatory, and one could
drive past it if inattentive. The consequence of not stopping results in running
out of gas, a thus losing a car (life). The player begins the game with 5 lives,
one of which is lost each time that the player crashes into something. If the
player completes a level without crashing or running out of gas, then he or she is
awarded a bonus life. In addition to losing a life, crashing adds thirty seconds to
the player's time. Cars could crash into other traffic or off-road obstacles such
as trees; they could crash by falling off the cliff on one of the mountain levels,
or they could sustain too much damage by staying off the roadway for too long on
the flatland levels. Players could also lose a life when using a manual
transmission by redlining and consequently blowing the engine. Crashing into a
police car instantly ends the game, regardless of the number of lives the player
has left.
Police cars appear in every level, and if the player is driving faster than the
speed limit when encountering one of them, the police car will follow in pursuit.
If at any point while being pursued the police car is able to pass the player's car
get in front of it, the player is forced to pull over and receives a ticket stating
the offense and the speed of the vehicle. While this doesn't cost the player a
life, it does take away valuable time. Players can avoid being pursued by police by
slowing down before encountering them, anticipating them through the aid of a radar
detector, which comes standard in all vehicles in the game.
In the standard version of Test Drive II, the player has the option of using one of
two vehicles (three in the SNES and Genesis versions of the game). These vehicles
are presented at the beginning of the game with technical specifications, including
top speed, torque, and acceleration rates. The cars included are:
- Porsche 959
- Ferrari F40
- Lamborghini Diablo (only in the SNES and Genesis versions)
For non-console versions, Accolade later released two data disks, which included
more playable cars. These were released on many platforms.
The Supercars car disk included cars from the previous game in the series, some in
slightly different versions:
- Corvette ZR1
- Ferrari Testarossa
- Lamborghini Countach
- Lotus Turbo Esprit (1988 model)
- Ruf "Yellowbird" Twin Turbo - a modified Porsche 911
The Musclecars car disk included five muscle cars from the 60's:
- Camaro C.O.P.O. 9560 ZL-1 (1969)
- Corvette Stingray (1963)
- Dodge Charger Daytona (1969)
- Mustang Shelby GT500 Cobra (1968)
- Pontiac GTO (1967)
The computer versions of the game provided one course, referred to by the game as
"Master Scenery", consisting of several stages. Each stage had one of three
possible locations: a desert, with cacti along the side of the road; a mountain,
with a sheer rock wall on one side of the highway and a cliff on the other, and
occasionally a tunnel through the mountain; and a grassy area with trees.
Later, two "scenery disks" were released, each containing an additional course:
- California Challenge, which included seven stages, each representing a section of

a southbound crossing of the state of California.
- European Challenge, which allowed players to travel through six different
European countries: the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France, and
Spain.
There are four available courses in the console versions of the game, each of
varying length and difficulty. Each is a route on a public highway in a different
part of the continental United States. The courses included are:
- "Desert Blast (Easy)" - Seemingly takes place somewhere in the US Southwest.

- "City Bound (Medium)" - It is not entirely clear where this takes place, but in
various parts of the course, Mount Rushmore can be seen.
- "East Coast (Hard)" - Takes place in the eastern U.S., with the last section of
the course including a view of the New England coast.
- "West Coast (Hardest)" - Takes place in the United States West Coast and is the
longest and most difficult course in the game. The Seattle skyline and Space Needle
can be seen in the beginning parts of the course.

Release Year: 1993
Developer: Raising Hell
_________________________
This is a vertical platformer with horizontal wrap-around. For the entertainment of
the futuristic masses, you play a criminal that has been inserted into a mechanical
body with the promise that if you succeed in surviving through all the levels
(there are many and they are hard), you will be set free. You start each level at
the bottom, near pooling liquid which will soon rise, at your immediate peril.
Navigate the level from bottom to the exit at the top before the liquid rises and
kills you. There are many other foes that fly around, causing you damage and
basically annoying you to spit. Most levels must be navigated through a series of
keyed gates, doors, or portals. These shaped keys are scattered around the map and
must by picked up and used only on the gates they match individually. Twist: You
can only carry one special weapon (triple shot, laser beam, or vertical shot) and
one tool (key, liquid-freeze, or a red herring) at a time.
This game requires a lot of memorization of enemy movement patterns and optimum
routes. A unique feature is that when you die, you can watch a replay and take over
at any point to continue your game. You can also hit the HELP button at the start
of each level to view a map, helping you plan your route.
It was released in the US as Fatal Rewind This is the Japanese version released in
1993 with remixed baddies/level changes & a nice intro missing from the US version.

Developer: Atod AB
_________________________
The Lawnmower Man is the game based on the 1992 movie of the same name (itself
loosely based on a Stephen King short story) starring pre-Bond fame Pierce Brosnan
as Dr. Lawrence Angelo, a scientist working for Virtual Space Industries in
"Project 5", a secret research that attempts to increase the intelligence of
primates using psychotropic drugs and VR training.
With his reluctance to aim the research to military purpose, after one of the
chimps escapes and shoots a guard in the process he is given a forced vacation, and
while taking notes on the need for experiment with a human subject, he notices Jobe
Smith (Jeff Fahey), a simpleton who makes his living on odd jobs such as mowing the
grass (hence, the title role). The first experiments quickly increase Jobe's
intelligence, and while after an accident Angelo stopped the experiments, The Shop,
a secret agency overviewing Project 5, reinserted the drugs responsible for violent
behaviour into the program and sped up the treatment. As Jobe starts to develop
telekinetic powers, he starts to take revenge on those who abused him before he
started the treatments, and plots to take over all computers in the world.
While the CD version of the game (PC, Mega CD) is an interactive movie, both
cartridge versions are platformers, the player taking control of Dr. Angelo or
Carla Parkette (mother of Jobe's best friend) in typical side-scrolling shooting
action. The player can collect better weapons or data discs, which after collecting
a number of them allow to morph into the Virtual Suit, which gives protection
against a first hit. The player visits several locations seen in the movie, such as
the gas pump and the VSI headquarters.
The twists of the game are true-3D level connectors, based on the CG sequences of
the movie, usually all involving avoiding obstacles (and the occasional shooting)
at high speed in the VR world. There are four different (Virtual World, Cyber War,
Cyber Run and Cyber Tube), each taking a slightly different approach (Virtual World
is seen in first person, the objective being dodging obstacles such as trees and
archs and reach the exit, Cyber War similar to Virtual World but with some shooting
stops, Cyber Run is seen in third person and requires occasional shooting of
obstacles, while Cyber Tube is a fast travel with plenty of enemies in a VR
tunnel).

_________________________
Bruno is a baby Ottifant. It's an ordinary evening, and Bruno's dad is working late
at office. Reason enough for Bruno's vivid imagination to run riot, thinking that
his dad has been kidnapped by aliens! Jelly babies, that fell from his father's
pocket on the way to work, blaze a trail to the office. Now it's up to Bruno to
fight his way through hordes of terrorizing toys, Ottifant-eating plants, tear
through gloomy caverns of doom and cut across a perilous jungle - workaday objects
and boringly normal settings as seen through kids' eyes - and rescue his dad!
Gameplay:
The Ottifants is a 2D side-scrolling platformer where the player controls Bruno

through six worlds: starting with the house, the basement and the garden through to
the building site, the office and finally the jungle, whereas each world is in turn
divided into three stages. Bruno's primary weapon is his trunk, which gives him the
ability to blast enemies by firing sweets at them, or suck in objects like out-of-
reach platforms or boxes by holding down the Fire-button. In addition to this,
enemies can be destroyed by stomping on them. Furthermore, yellow, green and red
lollies are spread throughout the stages. Gathering three of them activate one of
Bruno's special skills and can - depending on the colour combination - transform
the baby Ottifant into Superfant with the ability to fly, boost his speed with
Speedy Shoes, give an extra Continue and more.
Picking up jelly babies and blasting enemies is not the only way to gain points.
There are several entrances to secret rooms hidden in the six worlds. By
successfully completing a secret room, the player receives a 1,000 point bonus.
Finding all jelly babies in a stage is rewarded with 100 extra points.

_________________________
Hello, fellow humans! Barthlomew J. Simpson here, with a very important secret:
SPACE MUTANTS ARE INVADING SPRINGFIELD! That's right, man! A buncha slimy,
horrible, totally gross and putrid monsters are taking over the bodies of the
people who live here and they wanna build a weapon that's gonna take over the
entire planet! Pretty cool, huh? Anyway, yours truly is the only one who can see
'em 'cause of my X-ray glasses - so it's up to me to stop 'em! I've gotta
spraypaint things, get radical on my skateboard, use my trusty slingshot, and in
general behave like a nuisance, man. Plus, with evil dudes like Nelson the bully
and Sideshow Bob getting in my way, it's a good thing I've got the rest of the
Simpsons to help me out! So if you're a decent person, a patriot, and somebody who
cares about this sorry planet, you'll do the right thing. Save the Earth! BUY THIS
GAME! Thanks, man!
Gameplay:
In the single player game, Bart Simpson is the only one who knows of the aliens'
secret plan and he has to stop them from collecting the items they need to build
their weapons to take over the world. In each level, Bart must collect a certain
number of a specific item (e.g., purple objects, hats, balloons, exit signs,
nuclear rods), before he meets up with a boss at the end of the level.
The bosses, like the levels, are familiar to fans of the Simpsons animated series
and some of the television humor does appear in the game: in the first level Bart
can make a prank call to Moe in order for him to run outside so that the player can
spray paint his purple shirt.
Although Bart fights aliens in this game, he does not fight Kang and Kodos, the two
aliens that appear regularly on the show in Treehouse of Horror and other episodes.
- Equipment -
Bart is able to utilize a variety of items in the game.
- Xray Glasses: The major defensive weapons are x-ray glasses that reveal which
of the Springfield citizens are human and which are aliens in disguise (similar to
the film They Live). Jumping on the aliens will force them to flee the human body
and leave behind an icon that begins to spell one of the Simpson's family names
(i.e. Homer, Maggie, Marge or Lisa). If Bart manages to jump on enough aliens to
spell out the family member's name, that family member will appear to assist him in
defeating the boss. However, if Bart jumps on a human being, he will take damage.
- Spray Paint: Bart uses spray paint in Level 1 to turn a variety of purple
items red.
- Slingshot: Bart uses a slingshot in Level 3 to hit balloons, and for certain
carnival games.
- Dart Gun: The dart gun is used in the Museum. It can hit exit signs and is
the only fire arm that can stun enemies.
- Wrench: The wrench is used in level one to activate fire hydrants.
- Cherry bombs: Can startle animals when dropped on the ground. However, the
player runs the risk of summoning angry, damage-inflicting pitbull dogs if used.
- Rockets: Rockets are toy fireworks that can be used to launch at signs,
windows, and other items.
- Key: Can be used as a warp item in Level 1.
- Whistle: The whistle is used to get Grandpa Simpson to give you coins in
Level 1. However, the player runs the risk of summoning angry, damage-inflicting
pitbull dogs if used.
- Doughnuts: Boxes of these are found only in the final level. If used, Homer
will eliminate any enemies on the screen.
- Other Items: Bart is only able to withstand two direct hits per life, and
after three lives it is Game Over. Collecting Krusty icons give an extra life, Bart
can also collect coins to purchase weapons or to gain an extra life (after reaching
15 coins, but ten are deducted upon receiving the extra life). Busts of Jebadiah
Springfield give Bart a brief few seconds of invincibility.
- Levels -
- Springfield
Bart first must collect, hide, or destroy all purple things he finds: trash cans,
flower pots, doors, hydrants, and signs. Special appearances are made here by
Grampa Simpson, Moe Syzlak, and Jimbo Jones. The final boss of the level is Nelson
Muntz, who attacks Bart with water balloons. However, Bart is aided by Maggie if he
collects the letters of her name. Bart also rides his skateboard halfway through
this level.
- Springfield Shopping Center
Inside the mall, Bart collects all kinds of hats, from top hats, to helmets, to
baseball caps. Unlike the previous level, there are three mini-bosses. Each one is
an alien that attacks Bart in sync with the floor he is on (the first attacks him
with candy, the second in a shoe, the last one with magic cards). The player will
have to avoid obstacles such as living sneakers, giant marshmallows and doughnuts,
and towels. Ms. Botz, a thief disguised as a babysitter, is the boss. Marge helps
Bart in the mall.
- Krustyland
Bart must collect balloons in the amusement park. Some are stationary, others are
flying. Here Bart can play carnival games and make lots of extra lives. Lisa is
Bart's helper in this level. The boss is Sideshow Bob, who Bart defeats by stomping
on his feet.
- Museum
The museum is comprised of museum displays-some of which hold useful items. Like
the mall, the museum has three mini-bosses that correspond to a specific display.
The first is a giant plant in the jungle area. In the Egypt display, there is a
mummy, and a Tyrannosaurus-Rex is at the end of Prehistoric. Dr. Marvin Monroe is
the boss, and Homer will help Bart defeat him with enough evidence.
- Power Plant
Bart must collect a number of rods which he puts in the nuclear reactor. They are
scattered all over the plant. In this level, all the Simpsons help Bart out in
various ways: Lisa gives him door combinations, Marge carries rods to the basement
for him, Homer stomps all enemies if fed donuts, and Maggie wins the game.
Hints:
- Unlock Sound Test -
Shoot the E in the Kwik-E-Mart sign with a rocket. If done correctly, a Krusty face
will appear and you should be able to access the sound test.

Controller: Gamepad
Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1993
Players: 1
_________________________
I can hear you saying: "Bart Simpson lost his homework? Suuure. What's his lame
excuse this time?" Hey, I swear, I fell asleep! What a nightmare. Eight levels,
each one scarier than the last, with villains like Homer Kong, Momthra, and Barney
Gumble riding a pink elephant. I have to collect a page on each level, before I
wake up and blow the whole assignment. You're my only hope, man.
Gameplay:
The game is split in two parts. The first is set on a street (probably Evergreen
Terrace, but referred to as Windy World). Bart walks around and has to find pages
of his homework while avoiding enemies such as post boxes, Lisa and various
characters from the show. Bart can collect his skateboard, which acts as a power-up
and temporarily increases the player's speed.
Principal Skinner occasionally appears and tries to dress Bart in his Sunday suit.
If the player walks into Skinner, Bart will change appearance and become very slow
and not be able to fire at enemies. The suit will also protect him from all enemies
and will not take damage.
When a page is found in Windy World, the player must jump onto it, where Bart will
shrink down on the page, and the player has to choose one out of a selection of two
randomly chosen mini-games. The player must point Bart to one of the two color-
coded doors to play a mini-game and retrieve a lost page of Bart's homework (if the
player doesn't choose, Bart will automatically select the left-hand side door). The
doors and games are:
- The blue door: Bartman, where Bart flies over Springfield as a superhero.
Along the way he fights many bosses, including Sherri and Terri, Barney Gumble,
Waylon Smithers (you face him twice), and eventually Mr. Burns. Bart also receives
power-ups from Apu in this level.
- The orange door: Indiana Bart, where Bart must navigate the maze-like "Temple
of Maggie"
- The green door: Bartzilla, where Bart must stomp through the streets of
Springfield, eventually climbing the Springfield State Building and fighting "Homer
Kong" and "Momthra."
- The yellow door: Itchy and Scratchy, where Bart must avoid the manic duo, as
well as various other household objects that become enemies (the oven shoots fire,
the telephone explodes, Pyro-Vacuums etc.) This is the only mini-game divided in
two; Bart must play one half first and the other half next.
- The violet door: A journey into Bart's blood stream, where Bart must use an
air pump to inflate and destroy germs. This mini-game has a cameo appearance from
Smiling Joe Fission (a character from the first-season episode "Homer's Odyssey").
The mini-games can be played in any order; the pages awarded will be 1 through 8
depending on the order they were retrieved.
Upon either losing all the lives in the respective mini-game (and not getting the
page back) or completing the mini-game (and receiving the page as a reward), the
screen will flash back to Bart's room at night, which shows the amount of points
the player has and the number of pages collected, while Bart snores. The completed
mini-game will not resurface later in the game. If there is only one mini-game
left, both doors will be the same color.
The game ends when Bart dies (thus ending his dream) by losing all of his Zs (Windy
World will be covered in a white fog, suggesting Bart is about to wake up) and
taking damage one more time, or if he accomplishes all the mini-games. The first
shot is a pic of Bart asleep at his desk in his room; if not all pages are
recovered, Bart's homework will end in a scrawl, but recovering all pages will have
the words "THE END" written on Bart's paper. Depending on how many mini-games Bart
finishes and how many points he gets, he is awarded a letter grade. Bart will hold
it up for the player to see, and then we see the family's reactions to Bart's grade
by having the paper affixed to the refrigerator. An "F" grade would have the entire
family upset at him, but a slightly higher grade would cause at least Homer to be
pleased with Bart's work.
If one manages to beat all the mini-games and thus collect all the lost pages, the
aforementioned room will turn from night to day, Bart will wake up on his own and
the proper "ending" is shown.
This mini-game orientated gameplay gave the game an arcade style. Although much of
the game could be categorized as platformer, some of the mini-games could fit in
the shoot-em-up genre, particularly the Bartman and Bartzilla stages.

flying pigs attempt to hinder Krusty's progress by injuring him; he must throw pies
in order to defeat them.
In each stage the extermination devices are run by a different character, including
Bart, Homer, Corporal Punishment, and Sideshow Mel.
The game has a password system, notably all the passwords are the names of actual
Simpsons characters. The only exception is the best password in the SNES game,
which is "_Joshua_", a reference to the film WarGames.

The Simpsons: Virtual Bart
Region: USA
Media: Cartridge

Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1994
Publisher: Acclaim
Players: 1
_________________________
Bart Simpson is stuck in a virtual reality machine. You'll help him explore and
defeat six different worlds or Bart's brain will be fried with sensory overload. As
Dino Bart, you will have to create mayhem in a prehistoric world. Doomsday Bart
will battle Nelson in a post-apocalyptic Springfield. Experience the thrills of a
waterslide as you go sliding down Mt. Splashmore. Finally, become Baby and use a
diaper-chute to float to safety. On all of these adventures, characters from the
television series are along for the ride including Barney, Principal Skinner,
Milhouse, and Chief Wiggum. Join Bart as he goes on a wild ride through virtual
reality in VIRTUAL BART.
Gameplay:
At a science fair, Bart wanders into a virtual reality exhibit and must pass all
the "virtual worlds" (levels) to escape the machine. Passing a set of virtual
worlds grants an ending sequence, and completing all the levels without losing all
lives remaining wins the game. The format is similar to the previously released
Bart's Nightmare, save for the lack of a hub world from which the levels were
accessed. Gameplay for most of the levels consisted of standard platforming
elements; others took advantage of the SNES' Mode7 abilities. The levels were as
follows:
- "Dinosaur": Bart is a dinosaur that somewhat resembles a velociraptor, on top of

Mt. Springfield in the primeval era. The player must survive the various
platforming hazards while fighting off other dinosaurs and neanderthalic versions
of various Simpsons characters. Homer, as a caveman, is particularly persistent,
and appears as a boss along with Moe, attempting to knock Bart into a freezing
lake. Sending the two into the lake ends the stage; an ending is played of a frozen
Homer on display at the Springfield Museum of Natural History, sighing "D'oh" as
Dr. J. Loren Pryor passes by with a plateful of donuts.
- "Baby": Bart "relives" his infancy, escaping from his bedroom at the Simpsons'
residence to explore. The player must guide Baby Bart through complex platforming
sequences while avoiding hazards and animals. Bart eventually ends up in a live
circus act, and is safely launched back home via cannon without his parents
realizing his absence.
- "Pig": Bart is an escaped pig at Krusty the Klown's pork factory. The player must
rescue Bart's swine brethren while again surviving platforming hazards and fending
off clowns and corporate thugs. After defeating the owners of the factory, an
ending sequence plays of Pig-Bart freeing all the captive pigs.
- "Water Slide": Bart slides down a massive, surreal waterside tube at a waterpark,
dodging hazards and other waterpark patrons. The slide sometimes forks, with only
one path the correct one. Taking the wrong fork will either force the player back
(courtesy of a pudgy Homer blocking the way), or ejected from the slide into a
bizzare death such as falling off a cliff or being eaten by a lion. Reaching the
end of the level grants an ending sequence of a triumphant Bart soaking the twins
Sherri and Terri. Blinky the Three-Eyed Fish makes a cameo as both a hazard and a
marker for the level's progression meter.
- "Vandal": Bart, from his hiding spot, must hurl tomatoes and eggs at his
Springfield Elementary classmates, striking each one. Running out of throwing
objects with classmates remaining results in failure, as does hitting any passing
adult (the exception is Principal Skinner, who can be hit in the posterior when he
is bent over).
- "Post-Apocalypse": A spoof of the Mad Max films, Bart is a road warrior

attempting to survive a post-nuclear holocaust Springfield. The level plays
similarly to such game classics as Road Rash and Mach Rider. The player bikes
through a highway while fighting off attacks from bullies Jimbo Jones, Kearney, and
Dolph, each in their own vehicles. Completing the level sees Bart return to his
home on Evergreen Terrance. Bart's family is revealed to have been long dead,
reduced to a group of skeletons on the living room couch. An uncaring Bart shoves
their bones out of the way as Krusty's post-apocalyptic TV show is about to air
("Hey, surviving kids!").
If the player runs out of lives, game over occurs (with Bart getting embarrassing
nausea from the virtual-reality machine). If the player successfully passes all of
the levels, a final ending sequence shows Bart safely escaping the machine, while a
gullible Homer tries the machine himself to immediate disaster.

_________________________
Night falls at the Smurf Village. Inquisitive Smurf brings Smurfette along to Papa
Smurfs' laboratory to see the Magic Crystal that allows them to travel to anywhere
in the world, but suddenly Smurfette breaks it, and they are gone! Now they must
face the challenges in all continents in order to retrieve all shards of the
Crystal and return home.
A classic platformer, this title allows the player to choose between Inquisitive
Smurf and Smurfette (there are no differences between characters) and collect all
10 shards scattered on the playfield. There is a larger emphasis on exploring the
levels rather than killing enemies (no score is given for them), so they can be
avoided in most occasions, but if the needs arise, be dealt with a kick or in Mario
fashion by jumping over them. Some shards can only be obtained by jumping on an
enemy, using the sprint jump or using the scenario (ropes, or vines). While large
falls don't harm the Smurfs, improper contact with enemies does. Each 1-up has four
hearts, and at the fifth contact a life is lost and the player must restart the
level.
Once all lives are lost, the game is over - there are no continues. To fill the
meter there are hearts and small Smurf icons scattered or hidden somewhere in the
level, and on all stages there's a key that unlocks a bonus level if all three are
collected at the end of the continent. In these bonus levels the player collects as
much objects as possible which translate into hearts when the time closes. If the
player fills the meter, a 1-up is awarded.

_________________________
There's a new superhero in town, and he's a seven-foot tall, 400-pound arachnid!
Join the tongue-in-cheek action, as you guide the unlikely hero through colorful
levels of high-stress action. Based on the hit cartoon series of the same name, THE
TICK pits you against some rather unusual enemies--ninjas, hoods, and clowns--who
all seem to have it in for you in this extensive tale of crime fighting. You do
have some extremely rare combat techniques, but then?you're not exactly the most
common savior. Back-to-back fighting lets you control two characters at the same
time, while detailed characters give the title the look and feel of real arcade
game. Do you have what it takes to save the world? Let's hope so.
Directions:
Begin your super hero quest with Chapter One, "The Night of a Million Zillion
Ninjas". Oh, they mean it. Ninjas galore. O.K. So there may not be a million
zillion exactly, but I'm sure it's close. Give those ninjas a super hero spanking
by punching and kicking them over and over.
The main thing here is not to fall off the bus. Other than that, those puny little
ninjas do little damage to the nigh-invulnerable Tick, though this won't always be
the case as newer and stronger ninjas appear in later chapters. Oh, and don't
worry. You will eventually be fighting goons other than ninjas.
Land three punches and the fourth will be a power punch. Land two kicks and the
third will be a power kick. Tick also has one air move. Press C while in the air to
do a kick in the air. In addition to these heavy handed tactics you can call on
your trusty sidekick Aurthur. Press C and B at the same time to call for Arthur.
Arthur will fly across the screen and take out all of the enemies on the screen.
You can only do this a limited number of times. The number of times you can do it
is in the upper left corner of the screen with Arthur's head beside it. Pick up
Arthur heads on the screen to replenish these.
You'll also find some items to help you out along the way. Extra men will look like
Tick's head, and while your health refills in between each section (with the
remaining health adding onto your score) there are no pick-ups that refill your
health. Pick up a fist icon and a super friend will come to your aide. They will
put their back to yours and every time you attack, they'll attack. Besides that,
some things in the game can be interacted with, like mailboxes. Walk up to a
mailbox and press B to pick it up. You can then carry it around and then throw it
at an enemy to kill them with one hit (if you can manage to hit them with it, it's
pretty difficult).
Hitting a ninja once will cause him to drop his weapon. Now he's less dangerous
(especially those star throwing ones) and can be taken out more leisurely. Keep
this in mind when you are swarmed with many enemies at once. Also watch out for a
crazy super hero that will zoom across the screen, taking out enemies, and you as
well if you aren't careful. There's always a high-pitched trilling whistle before
this dope zooms across the screen.
You're probably thinking the ninjas on the bus will never end, but they will. Then
you'll be able to move on to fighting ninjas on rooftops, and then in yards, then
in alley ways, and well, you get the idea. Of course, first you'll have to make
your way across an obstacle course of knives, stars, spears, and even axes being
thrown at you as you jump from roof to roof. Don't worry about falling here. If you
fall you will get a "Sub Plot" and you will fight someone down in the alleyway.
This will make sense to anyone who ever watched the cartoon and saw Tick fall off
buildings all the time. Still, it's only O.K. to fall on these screens and not on
screens where you are actively fighting someone. Falling on a screen where you have
enemies to combat means death.
Occasionally you will have to face super villains. These guys are all much tougher
than the ninjas and you will have to avoid getting hit more seriously. Hit and run
is the best tactic with these guys. They will take more hits to bring down as well.
Controls:
A Button: Jump
B Button: Punch
C Button: Kick
Start Button: Pauses Game
Hints:
- More Bang for Your Buck -

Wait to pick up the fists until there are a few enemies on the screen. When you
pick it up they will all be knocked down and lose their weapons.

_________________________
Theme Park is a management simulator developed by Bullfrog Productions and
published by Electronic Arts in 1994. It was released for a variety of systems,
including the Sega Mega Drive, Sega Mega CD, Sega Saturn in the following year.
Theme Park was the first successful theme park simulator, and would go on to
inspire other Theme games and the RollerCoaster Tycoon series. Players are given a
plot of land and are tasked with buying (and creating) rides, as well as organising
the general layout of the park, staff and attempting to keep visitors happy without
going bankrupt.
From a Sega perspective the game is fairly interesting - the game was technically
released twice in Japan, first as regular Theme Park seen here, and again as Shin
Theme Park, a localised variant. The game was originally designed with a mouse in
mind, but none of the Sega ports are compatible with their respective mouse add
ons, whether that be the Sega Mouse or Shuttle Mouse.
Theme Park would later see a true sequel in the form of the fully 3D Theme Park
World (known as Sim Theme Park in North America) in 1999.

_________________________
Hit it big when you join Buster Bunny on a 33 stage hunt for treasure. So loaded
with hare-raising animation, it's like playing in a whacked-out Tiny Toon cartoon!
Do you dare to set paw on this mysterious island? Trip through 7 tangly territories
that include an overly-enchanted forest, caverns of bubbling lava-lava, secret
underground seas, plains that are just plain crazy, a freaky factory, a mega
mountain and a spooky shipwreck rumored to be dripping in 14 carrot gold! Save Babs
Bunny and the rest of your pals along the way and you'll really see some kooky
island hopping. With Gogo Dodo as your guide, you can be sure this adventure is
packed with tricks, traps, and hidden bonus areas!
Directions:
As mentioned in the overview, Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster's Hidden Treasure plays
very much like Sonic The Hedgehog in a few aspects. To begin, as Buster Bunny
moves, he slowly speeds up and his legs move in quick circles in typical cartoon
fashion.
Another similarity is the way you defeat enemies. You only have to avoid attacks
coming at you and jump on the heads of the baddies, knocking them for a loop. There
are also some features new to gamers, such as the ability to bounce wall to wall
when they close in. To perform a wall bounce, jump up to a wall and then once more
against it. Jumping again will perform the wall bounce which will come in handy at
some points.
The typical "currency" of this game is carrots, which works in quite a big way.
When you collect 50 carrots in one stage, this gives you what is called a helper.
Either in the form of Lil' Beeper, Sneezer or Concord Condor, the helper can be
called on to appear and take out all of the on screen enemies. Keep one close,
because you never know when you'll find yourself in a bind. You begin with a life
span of three hearts. To enhance your heart meter with more, you can find gold
bells. Finding diamonds will make you invincible for a short period of time.
At the end of every few levels, you'll be met with certain boss fights that take
the form of Tiny Toon characters such as Dizzy Devil and Montana Max. There are
certain ways to fight through these and it's up to you to figure out the patterns
so you can defeat them and move on.

Network with programming related to fishing, and this game made everyday a Saturday
afternoon watching TNN on the player's cable TV or satellite TV. Even players who
were stuck with terrestrial TV were interested in fishing and found it interesting,
even though they couldn't afford the huge satellite dishes at the time, or lived
with trees in their western angle, which made satellite broadcasting impossible
until late 1998.

It's batter-up and time for Tommy Lasorda's version of Pro-Ball. Whether you're
infield or outfield, at the plate or on the mound, stealing bases or catching fly-
balls, the competition is hot and you're even hotter now that you're playing with a
big leaguer like Lasorda. And you've got control. Curve balls, fastballs or sliders
are some of the wind-ups you'll pitch to outwit your batter. But be prepared when
he connects, you'll have to think fast to make your players perform like a well-
oiled machine. Are you up for a single, double, or even triple play? It all depends
on how you throw the ball. But don't worry, you'll get your chance at bat. This is
a race for the Pennant, so you better hope Tommy's on your side. Now take your

_________________________
At last, real baseball strategy for real baseball fans. Match wits with the major
league manager of the year Tony La Russa in the most realistic baseball simulation
ever created for the Sega Genesis. Pull your infield in, play your outfield at the
warning track, send in a pinch hitter to dig in and crank that hanging curve into
another time zone! Send 'em to the showers, put on the hit and run, pull the
suicide squeeze - you're the manager - you make the calls! Digitized pitcher and
batter animations - is it a slider or a smokin' fastball?
Hints:
- Guaranteed Home Runs Glitch -
Both Francisco Cabrera of the Braves and Joe Magrane of the Cardinals have their
slugging percentage listed incorrectly in the game; both are listed as having
Slugging Percentages of well over 1.000. Because of this, you are guaranteed to hit
a home run when either player makes contact while swinging for power.
Note that in the case of Cabrera, this glitch only works if he's batting 7th in the
lineup.
- Nearly one-man team -
In the Texas Rangers roster, Julio Franco is listed six times and all six can be in
the starting line-up together.
- Roster Glitch -
Before you start a game, select "See Lineups". Not only can you edit position
players and batting order and such in your own lineup, but the game allows you to
do so for the other team as well.
This means that you can force the other team to yield a unit of scrubs all in the
wrong position and throw out the worst pitcher on their roster on a daily basis.
Have fun enjoying all the free wins.

_________________________
Tony La Russa Baseball is a baseball computer and video game console sports game
series (1991-1997), designed by Don Daglow, Mark Buchignani, David Bunnett and
Hudson Piehl and developed by Stormfront Studios. The game appeared on Commodore
64, PC, and Sega Genesis, and different versions were published by Electronic Arts,
SSI and Stormfront Studios. The artificial intelligence for the computer manager
was provided by Tony La Russa, then manager of the Oakland Athletics and later the
St. Louis Cardinals. The game was one of the best-selling baseball franchises of
the 1990s.
The game was based on the baseball simulation methods Daglow evolved through the
Baseball mainframe computer game (1971) (the first computer baseball game ever
written), Intellivision World Series Baseball (1983) and Earl Weaver Baseball
(1987).

Top Fighter 2000: MK VIII

Genre: Beat 'em Up
Gametype: Pirate
Developer: X-Boy
Publisher: X-Boy
Players: 1 or 2 VS
_________________________
If there's something you can count on this world, it's bootlegs. They've been
around since the first multi-game consoles, and come doomsday they'll still be
making their way into shady Taiwanese warez markets. Here at Sega-16 we've resolved
to document the unlicensed games that fall into our domain, and today's feature is
the third in the 'Hacks and Homebrews' series. So far we've covered a Mario-
deficient Mario game and a gaggle of amateur demos. Today comes another round of
hacking goodness, one that goes by the eyebrow-raising name of Top Fighter 2000: MK
VIII.
I did a little research, and from what I can tell this game was actually released
in cartridge form. As is common with bootlegs, very few were ever pressed and those
that were...well, let's just say that they aren't popping up on eBay all the time.
So what we're mostly looking at in the case of Top Fighter is as a download - which
you can find at the bottom of this page. I played it in Kega Fusion 3.51, but it
works in the latest version of Gens as well. Feel free to give it a whirl after you
read the article; just don't get your hopes up on finding a copy.
The first thing you'll say to yourself upon booting up the ROM is "what have we
here?" At least I did, but then again I said it in a Lando Calrissian voice, too.
Whatever your reaction may be, staring out of your computer monitor will be two
vaguely familiar faces. Upon closer inspection those faces will be none other than
Mohammad Ali and Michael Jordan. At first I couldn't believe it, but then the demo
mode began to play. Here we're treated to a surreal sequence in which Mohammad Ali
dances like a butterfly and stings what appears to be Antoine Walker like a bee.
After that we see Jordan doing a slam dunk. But that's not the best part " the
grand final is when profile shots of the two sportsmen slide onscreen and suddenly
we see the actual character sprites for the fighting engine.
I'd been expecting Jordan to be either Shaq from Shaq Fu or himself from the SNES
title Chaos in the Windy City. I guess I didn't give these bootleggers enough
credit. Now, I haven't played every fighting game out there, but it seems to me
that these are brand new sprites! The art quality is surprising for this sort of
production, as is the rather fluid animation. To make things even more
overwhelming, the rest of the roster scrolls across screen shortly after. Cyclops,
Geese, Ryu, Goku, Kyo, Ryo...the gang's all here, guys.
Albeit with a few misspellings.
Michael Jordan has become simply "Jodan," something I find incredibly funny; Geese
has been truncated as well and is now "Gees"; Cyclops has been shorted to "Cycl".
My momentary illusions of having found the perfect bootleg have been dispelled, but
there's still a lot of interesting stuff to consider: a neat opening, snazzy title
screen, some options to choose from, a two player mode, and an intriguing roster of
well-animated characters.
Gameplay:
Fighting is conducted in a sort of dumbed-down version of the standard Street

Fighter II setup, using only two buttons and a maximum of six standard combat
moves. Each fighter then has a handful of special moves that use the predictable
QCF, QCB, and DP combinations - familiar ground for anyone who's played a few
rounds of any sort of versus fighter. Combos are very much a possibility for those
inclined to mess around with them, from what I can tell. An interesting addition is
a desperation move power meter, a feature absent from almost all of the official
Genesis fighters.
It's clear that this is not an early effort; I'd place it sometime around '98. (Or
maybe even 2000 like the title screen claims.) For one thing, Ryu's sprite is not
of the Street Fighter II variety. It's actually a modified Alpha sprite set, and I
must say that it's a beautiful change of pace to see the new artwork on our beloved
Genesis. And speaking of artwork, things only get better after the title screen.
The backgrounds are vivid, although mostly static, and the characters are popping
with color. Kyo looks washed out; a notable exception to a generally vibrant
presentation. Kudos to you bootleg coders and artists, wherever you are. Ya done
good. As did the guys handling the sound. The narrator sounds just as good as
professional entries. The audio could have used a little more variety, but the
fighters actually call out their attacks and the sampling is crisp - crisper than
Eternal Champions, at any rate.
The music is not as good, not because of any technical problem but because the
melodies simply aren't memorable. Considering how much plagiarism is going on with
the rest of the game, it's interesting that the music isn't copied as well.
But to summarize on the presentation...man, I can't believe I'm saying this...Top

Fighter is probably the flashiest fighter on the Sega Genesis. It sounds crazy, but
play the game and you'll see what I mean. The special moves are all inspired by
Street Fighter Alpha and a generation of over-the-top versus fighters not yet
conceived during the official life span of the Genesis. These Asian hackers,
influenced by games that the design teams of the Genesis' era didn't have access
to, have put together a fighting experience with much more pizzazz than anything
Sega could crank out at the time. The fireball attacks are most explosive than the
Hadokens in Super Street Fighter II; some of the special moves have a 'shadowing'
effect not implemented in any other official fighter.

_________________________
You are a driver. Race down the track at supersonic speed and earn money to pimp
your ride. Use nitros to burst past opponents with huge amounts of speed. Win the
race. Beat out the world's best.
Directions:
Race your racecar among 19 others and win.
Gameplay:
In this sequel, the game becomes more realistic, with a damage bar on the left side
of the screen, slower cars, and the possibility to upgrade your machine. The cars
become more difficult to handle and the opponents are faster and tougher than in
the previous game. The new addition of weather also plays a role, forcing the
player to change from dry to wet tires.
The game takes place in 16 countries including 64 cities, starting with Australasia
(Australia and New Zealand). After each country is beaten, the player is given a
password, which can be later used to pick the game back up from that position.
The actual gameplay is quite simple, there is a map showing which directions the
upcoming turns will be, and the player is given 6 "nitro boosts" at the start,
which dramatically increase the cars speed for a short period of time. On certain
courses there are pickups along the road ranging from a "$" which is $1,000 cash, a
"N" which is an extra "nitro boost", and a "S" which is an automatic nitro
administered right when picked up and returns each lap. The other pickups can only
be collected once per race.
The player has the option of either an automatic or manual gearshift, and can
configure the controls as they please at the opening menu of the game.
Hints:
- Using Nitro -
Only use nitros when the race begins, and on straight stretches. Because if you use
the Nitros at the beginning, you'll be able to go through a lot of other cars, and
go up the ranks faster. Be careful, because if you hit someone on the way through,
it goes on your car as damage, and your car's top speed goes down. And on straight
stretches, use them. Because if you use Nitros on curves, you'll risk hitting
objects and losing valuable time.
- Your car isn't like an anti virus program with updates -

If you buy a part for a car, make sure you get the best one right away. This
minimizes cost but it'll be harder because you're still working with the factory
stock parts going up into the more experienced drivers. But remember, if you've got
an upgrade, never ever select the stock item, because this will give your upgrade
away, and you won't get any money back.
- Get a Dodge Viper -

At the start screen scroll down to the options and enter. Once there scroll to
cheats. At the cheats menu simply enter (5anniversary). No parenthesis are
included. This game was themed with the 5th anniversary of the Dodge Viper creation
in 1989. Its no better then any other car in the game it just looks different.

Terror, have the guts to fight back. Stealthful observation reveals self-destruct
switches planted on 32 strongholds. Triggering each one will be no simple task.
Powerful alien patrols will thwart your efforts, pushing you to the edge... and

Directions:
The objective of the game is to activate every mine/switch in the level without
falling off or getting hit by an enemy.
You've got two skills, Jumping and Throwing. There is only one thing you can throw,
the black tubs. If you have any just press B to throw them in front of you.

when you land/jump from a trampoline you will jump extra high and will be able to
reach platforms that are farther away. In other words you can jump over one square

Release Year: 2007
Players: 1
Version: 070328
_________________________
An overhead scrolling fantasy shoot 'em up, Twinkle Tale casts the player in the
role of the young witch Saria, in a quest to rid her magical floating island of the
evil creatures that have invaded it.
Gameplay:
The game is played from an overhead perspective, with Saria having complete freedom
of movement in all directions and with the objective being to clear out all enemies
in all 9 stages, looting whatever treasure you can find and defeating each stage's
boss.
Saria's offensive weapons come pre-defined as three different spells, which you can
freely switch to at any time and level-up by collecting power stars, as well as
screen-clearing bombs.
Hints:
- Level Select -
At the story book screen when you just start a game, hold up-left, A, and C
simultaneously and press start.
As usual, this MIJET patch is dual language. Which region has auto-detect priority
determines whether it's in English or Japanese. The script is polished
appropriately and well presented.
As MIJET indicated in the readme, S. Hard appears identical in challenge to Hard.

This is almost true. As you go up the difficulty settings, the general trend is an
increase in enemy HP, especially boss HP. No such increase is made between Hard and
S. Hard. However, the bullets and attacks are somewhat faster in S. Hard. MIJET
unlocked this mode for you so you don't have to beat the game once just to do so.

Players: 1 or 2 VS
_________________________
The fight of your life... Enter the world of ULTIMATE Mortal Kombat 3 and discover
what awaits you... 23 immediately playable fighters and 2 bosses. Meet up with some
old adversaries. Think you know them? Guess again. They've got new combos,
fatalities, brutalities and babalities and they're looking for you! There's also a
few dudes playing their own version of hide and seek - find 'em if you can! Battle
against the computer, opt for 2-on-2 fighting, or try out the very cool 8-fighter
Tournament mode! Dazzling graphics, incredible sound and motion-capture technology
produce the most realistic battles you'll ever fight!
Gameplay:
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 combines the best of all the Mortal Kombats into a single
cartridge. 23 playable characters are immediately available, such as Reptile,
Cyrax, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Jax, Katana, Sonya, and more. There are two bosses that
are unlockable, as well as additional characters.
There is a variety of new levels, some of which are interactive. Characters can
uppercut someone, causing them to hit the ground hard and crash through to the
bottom floor, or they can knocked someone off a bridge, landing in a pit of spikes.
Players can go against the computer one-on-one, two-on-two, or take part in the 8-
fighter tournament.
Gameplay was identical to MK3 but introduced a few new elements. Two new tournament
modes were introduced. One was entitled 2-on-2 Kombat Mode which was similar to an
Endurance match but with human players on both sides. There was also a new eight
player tournament mode. "Chain combos" could be started by using a jump punch
(vertical or angled) or a vertical jump kick which created more comboing
opportunities. Some characters were given extra combos and some combos were even
damage reduced. Combos that knock opponents in the air would no longer send one's
opponent to the level above in multi layered levels. Only regular uppercuts would
allow for this.
Some characters were given new moves. Stryker now has a "Riot Gun" special move.
Kano's cannonball move could be performed in two ways; one would make Kano move
straight ahead like in MK3 and the other moved diagonally. Liu Kang and Sonya have
new combos which can knock opponents in the air, leading to more combo
possibilities.
Some character moves were altered a bit, in most cases to balance the gameplay.
Stryker's Baton Throw and Sonya's Leg Grab were given special damage protection
propertues. Kabal could not perform his ground saw move after a spin and a certain
number of comboed hits, however this makes little difference though as any moves
performed on someone after the ground saw can be blocked unless the opponent is in
the air. Kabal's ground combo damage was also reduced by approximately 10%. Sub-
Zero was toned down a bit as he can no longer create an ice clone next to the
opponent to freeze him on the spot. If he tries, the statue will not form. Smoke's
spear is disabled after 4 combo hits. Also worth noting, the spear actually comes
out of the compartment on his chest, whereas in MK3 it was actually summoned from
behind him. When Shang Tsung juggles an opponent with his fireball, there is now a
minimum of two other hits needed before another fireball can be performed.
Performing a roundhouse when one's opponent is in the corner pushes the player's
character out of the corner. Sonya's MK3 Friendship, which had her waving her arms
back-and-forth in a silly manner, is removed. Now she simply does her victory pose
and a row of flowers grow out of the ground. Other notable alterations include:
Cyrax's air throw adds to the "combo meter" and his bombs cannot be done while his
net is on screen. Both Cyrax and Sheeva's ground throw activates damage protection.
Performing Liu Kang's bicycle kick special drains the run meter, Jax's projectiles
have a longer recovery time, and both Sektor and Robot Smoke's Teleport Punch can
now home in on their target better than the previous game. Kung Lao's Spin has
better collision detection; no longer causes pushback in the corner; and it also
now activates Damage Protection. Nightwolf's bow and arrow has reduced start up
time when comboed (which just means situations where your opponent cannot control
their character after being hit).
Player 1 side Sektor can fire Dumb Missiles while Homing Missiles are activated
(possible glitch or incomplete programming).
Additionally several miscellaneous features were added and changed to UMK3. The
original red portal background used for the "Choose Your Destiny" screen is now
replaced with a blue portal and an extra "Master" difficulty is added as well. In
the additional "Master" difficulty setting, "Endurance Matches" return, in which
the player can face as many as three opponents in a given round. These were not
seen since the first Mortal Kombat. Shao Kahn's Lost Treasures are introduced after
either the main game or the 8-player tournament are completed. These Lost Treasures
are selectable prizes, some are extra fights, others lead to various cutscenes or
other things. The smallest alterations to the game include character announcements
when Shang Tsung transforms and the "Toasty!" sound is now played during the game's
end credits, when Dan Forden's image is shown.
While ROMS were added to the game and nothing was actually removed, some elements
from MK3 were subsequently missing from UMK3's presenation. The only bios featured
are for Kitana, Jade, Scorpion, and Reptile (the ninja characters who weren't
featured in the original MK3 and do not have to be unlocked via Ultimate Kombat
Kode in this game). All of the bios and the full body portrait of each character
from MK3 are missing. The bios that are featured use their versus screen portrait
with text on a background of the battleplan/portal. Like the bios, all of the
character endings show the player's character's versus screen picture accompanied
by text, instead of using original art as MK3 did (a spelling mistake, however, in
Sindel's ending is corrected). The storyline pictures and accompanying text are
never shown (beginning with "These are the words of Raiden" and explaining the plan
to conquer Earth and the Tournament warriors' struggle).
Finally, The Bank, the only stage missing from MK3, was removed completely from
gameplay.
In UMK3, the CPU AI was improved. However, it introduced two flaws: while
backflipping away from an opponent, if the player performs a jump kick, the CPU
will always throw a projectile. This leaves the CPU vulnerable to attacks such as
Sektor's teleport-uppercut, which can easily lead into a devastating combo and if
the player walks back-and-forth, not getting too close to the CPU opponent and not
walking too far away from it, the CPU will mimic the player's walking movements the
entire round and never attack. This gameplay flaw remained and was not corrected
for Mortal Kombat Trilogy. In addition, UMK3 1.1 AI was used instead of 1.2, which
is even less developed AI.
This game is rated M on the Nintendo DS, Xbox 360, Genesis, Saturn, and SNES
versions. On the last three versions, it is rated M for Realistic Violence and
Realistic Blood and Gore; for the Nintendo DS and Xbox 360 the M rating is for
Blood and Gore and Intense Violence.

Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1993
Developer: SEGA
Publisher: Rage Software
Players: 1 to 8 VS
_________________________
Ultimate Soccer is a football (European) game composed by 64 (unlicensed)
international teams, each with it's own values for running, ball control and
strength. There are five game modes (friendly, penalty shootout, tournament,
playoff and league), but the lack of password or built-in battery means each one of
them must be completed in one sitting.
Gameplay:
The gameplay can be tweaked for the players' preference by changing several key
aspects of the physics engine, such as wind strength and direction, ball weight
(lighter balls travel higher, faster and farther but are more prone to be deflected
by winds than heavy balls, who barely lift of the ground and are slowed down by wet
grass), tightness of ball control and players speed and momentum. A five-a-side
mode, where the ball is never out of play is also included. Thanks to the many
options regarding the physics, the game allows a lot of flexibility in playmaking,
from building up the play with small passes from the midfield to belting the ball
upwards in hope of a goalmouth deflection.

Climb aboard your flagship and set sail! As a young Portuguese captain, you are in
search of fortune and fame. With your first mate at the helm, navigate the way to
distant lands and legendary riches. Port ho! Cast anchor in a new land and barter
with stubborn merchants for exotic spices and gems. Use profits to improve your
fleet or face the dangers of the sea-pirates, storms and the mysteries of the deep.
Win allies for Portugal, and the King will reward you grandly!
Gameplay:
Uncharted Waters is a sailing and trading simulation. Your goal is initially to

sail between ports and trade goods between them to make a profit. Along the way,
you may be called upon by merchants and royalty to do specific tasks. Several
different nations as well as pirates roam the sea and not all have good relations
with one another. You can take as long as you want and explore as much of the world
as possible to complete your ultimate task of marrying Christiana, which will
require your fame rating to be quite high anyway. Available at most ports is a
trader for cargo, a supply station for your crew's food and water as well as
repairs, a shipbuilder, an item store and finally a pub for gaining information,
crew and gambling.
All of the game progresses on an overhead-view, by sea you navigate your fleet by
direction and can issue additional orders including landing on any piece of land to
search for supplies. A variety of hazards live at sea including storms, other
ships, seaweed and simply bad winds and currents.
Hints:
- Initial Stat Increase -

Say No when starting a new game to the stats offered roughly 75 times. After doing
so, you'll notice the offered stats have increased exponentially.

Uncharted Waters II: New Horizons
Region: USA
Media: Cartridge
Controller: Gamepad
Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1994
Developer: Koei
Publisher: Koei
Players: 1
_________________________
In the first Uncharted Waters game, it was the 15th century and the New World was
discovered. Now in New Horizons, it is the early 16th century and the age of
exploration and sea trade is underway. Players choose from any one of six
adventurers (scenarios), each with their own distinctive but intertwining plot, to
embark on a quest of sailing, seamanship and exploration. The six characters are:
- Joao Franco is the son of Duke Leon Franco, the hero of the first Uncharted
Waters game and an influential man in Portugal. His father wants to make him into a
strong man and so decides to send him out to sea. Young Joao is tasked with
learning the skills of the sailor (he is the only character who starts at level
one) and embarking on a quest of discovery; reaching the far east and eventually
looking for the secret of Atlantis.
- Catalina Erantzo is a Spanish naval officer who believes her beloved and her
brother were both murdered by the Portuguese armada. Vowing revenge she turns to a
life of piracy and soon becomes a red haired scourge of the seas.
- Pietro Conti is a indebted man, having inherited the financial woes of the Conti
family. When the Duchess Franco hires him to spy on her son, he accepts the job and
obtains a ship. Pietro hopes to use these resources to seek out valuable treasure
and clear up his family's debt.
- Ernst Von Bohr is a geographer who is teaching classes in Holland. But he yearns
to leave the classroom and sail the high seas, living a life of adventure that he
has only read about in books. When his friend, Mercator offers to finance his
initial voyage in exchange for cartography information about the world, Ernst is
given the opportunity to live out his dream.
- Ali Vezas is a poor orphaned child living in Istanbul and serving others. He
dreams of becoming his own master and making his own fortune across foreign lands.
A twist of fate aides in providing him with small loans, with which he is able to
afford his first ship and sail out with a cargo hold full of goods...
- Otto Baynes styles himself a Royal Knight of the British Empire, in the service
of his majesty the king. Promoted to Admiral of the British fleet, the kingdom is
worried about the increased naval power of Spanish fleets. Otto is given a letter
of marque by the king and ordered to terrorize the Spanish Fleet. Equipping himself
simply at first, Otto strives to become a great Privateer in the name of King and
Country.
Regardless of the character chosen, Uncharted Waters: New Horizons is a top-down

sailing simulation. At sea, players control the direction of their ship, where
speed is affected by the number/health of the crew, the wind and the currents.
Players can navigate anywhere there is water (though some ships are not ocean
worthy) and discover interesting landmarks and new ports. Upon landing at a port,
the view is also top-down and the player can enter different buildings, each with
unique services and goods. These include: The Inn, the Item Shop, The Shipyard, The
Tavern, The Castle, The Guild Hall, The Church, The Merchant and the Harbor. It's
up to the player to earn enough gold to keep the crew fed and financed and keep the
fleet repaired. Primary methods of earning money are through sea trade, accepting
jobs from the guild, gambling and battle with other ships.
During naval combat, the game becomes a turn-based top-down strategy game, with the
player moving ships in order to obtain trajectories needed to fire cannons at enemy
ships, or run alongside enemy vessels in order to board them. If the player's
flagship attacks the flagship of the enemy fleet, they can challenge the opponent
to a duel. If accepted, the game changes to a side-view of the two captains engaged
in a fight. During this sequence, the player can only choose which fighting
maneuver (strike, thrust, parry, lash) they wish to engage in.
Hints:
- Less attacks -
Enter Black Beard as a name.
- Faster battles -
Hold Y at the battle screen when it is your opponent's turn.
- Black market -
Wait until 2:00 a.m. and go to the item shops at the ports. The Crusader Sword may
be found at the shop at Timbuktu.
- Easy money -
Accept the Collect Debt job in the Venice guild after starting a new game. Get the
five gold ingots, deposit in the bank, and return to Venice. According to the
banker, you have failed the job and reduce your fame, but the gold will remain in
the bank.
- Easy experience -
Locate the weak pirate in Tunis and bombard him when he leaves. Challenge him to a
duel and weaken him to 50 hit points. After the duel ends, challenge him again to
another duel to gain more experience. Repeat this as needed.
- New ship types -

Place $50,000 a month for five months in the Bristol shipyard to gain additional
ship types, including a barge. Place $50,000 a month for five months in the Hamburg
or Antwerp shipyards to eventually get the full-rig ship.
- Better ships -
You can find better ships to fight with in Sakai and Nagasaki. The easiest way to
get there as soon as possible is to trade carpets and arts until you have around
10,000 gold pieces. Then, buy glass beads in Venice and sell them at the port of
Madeira. The beads will cost 2 or 3 gold and can be sold them for about 50 gold. In
Madeira, buy sugar for 12 gold and sell it at the port of Santa Cruz (1 day of
sailing south of Madeira). Buy flax from Santa Cruz and sell it in Amsterdam. From
there you can buy glass beads and repeat the process. Do this until you get to 20
gold ingots. Then get some balm in Barcelona and cruise to the far east with a
small ship (preferably with rows like a LaReale) with high velocity (such as a
Caravella Redonda). First, stop in Nagasaki and invest 50,000 gold at the shipyard.
You should do this when you reach the end of a month, as it is faster that way.
When the month changes, you should find an Atakkabunde (cheap and efficient). Buy
it and remodel it to only support 30 crew members and no cannons. If you have mates
that can pilot ships, then buy a couple to speed up things. In Nagasaki, buy silver
and sell it in Changan, Zeiton and Sakai. These ports have silk items; buy some to
sell in Nagasaki. If there is no silver, buy porcelain. You will get fair price for
porcelain in India -- the clove and pepper are cheap in India and sell for ten
times higher in the Far East. Five months in a row, invest 50,000 in Sakai or
Nagasaki. When they reach 1000 points in the shipyard, you will find a new boat:
Tekousen. This is the ultimate battle ship. It is row powered, which is good when
the wind dies, and can reach up to 20 knots in speed. Remodelling the Tekousen only
permits you to hold 300 crewmen and up to 100 cannons. Another trick: buy a used
Tekousen. It will hold 360 crewmen and 80 cannons. It is easier to maneuver in
battle, and it has more speed than a Venitian Galeas. It also has as much cargo
capacity as a full-rigged ship or even a barge.

- Errol's Plate armor -

Go to the Black Market in Copenhagen to get Errol's Plate. That is the star class
armor, which is even better the Pull Mail Armor.

- Crusader's Armor -
Go to Naples at 2:00 a.m. and purchase the Crusaders Armor. It is also star class
armor, but it is a lot better then the Errol's Plate, which is cheaper.

- Carronades -
Head towards Bristol and invest in both Shipyards and Trade Market. Keep them both
invested with the same amount of money, $50,000. After you have gotten the Barge
ship, invest once more in the Shipyard and Trade Market. Return next month and
remodel your ship's guns. The message "Your in luck, we have a new specialty today"
or something similar should appear. If this does not happen, leave the Shipyard
menu and keep returning to remodel guns. The new gun is Carronades. Its attack
power is as strong as a Cannon, and its range is as far as a Culverin. This is the
most powerful guns in the game.

- Merchant discounts -
The Merchant will always discount the price of his goods at the rate of 75.0% of
the full price. For example: If you were buying Porcelain for 108, do not pay more
than 81. You will be able to get this discount even if you do not have a good
bookkeeper. The key to getting this discount is to make sure the port is allied
with your country (and also not a neutral port). You do not have to have a Tax-Free
Permit, but it will reduce your price even more. Also, if you have a bookkeeper,
they will do all the work for you. This is a rather short list of the bookkeepers:
Esteban Ortega, Jacob Walweik, Antoine Fitch, Benito Gomez, and Tristan Seillo.
Information in this section was contributed by Ben Campbell.
- Shipbuilder discounts -
Any Shipbuilder will always give a you discount of 83.6% of the full price. For
example, if a ship costs 10,000 to build, you should not pay more than 8,360. He
will accept the price.

Original title: Undead Line

Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Shooter
Release Year: 2007
Players: 1
Version: 1.0
_________________________
Undead Line is a top-down arcade shooter with scrolling screens, like Commando and
other games. The player controls a character (from a selection of three on the MSX
2 version) that shoots projectiles at enemy monsters.
The six levels available are presented in a menu and can be selected and played in
any order. There is a boss battle at the end of each one.
Chests with power-ups are scattered throughout the levels. They open when shot, and
in the Genesis version it is possible to cycle through the available power-ups by
keeping firing at them. The power-ups include armor and speed boosts, and several
types of projectiles.
This is a translation patch for the Mega Drive game called "Undeadline". It sports
a variable-width font engine with kerning and, as usual, it is a "dual-language"
patch, meaning that it supports both Japanese and English, depending on the country
code of your machine. There are also two fonts to choose from.

Leigh informs the Dark world's king, Glames, that they only have six months before
it is destroyed. Hopeless, Glames decides to become king of both the Human world
and Dreamland, but knows that Nizetti is controlling the power level of the Valis
sword and that any attempt to invade either world would result in Yuko coming with
a full-powered Valis to destroy him. Nevertheless, he takes the risk, knowing his
sword Leethus, is just as powerful as Valis and when they are combined.
Of course, Yuko doesn't know any of this this. But Cham, another warrior, does.

Yuko is walking when the weather repeatedly changes from raining to dry. Yuko notes
that she dreamed about it the night before, and in that dream, she heard a voice
call her. Suddenly, her friend Reiko appears, speaking in a very unusual fashion
before leaving "for a while." While Yuko wonders why Reiko was acting weird, a
monster appears out of nowhere and attacks. The voice from Yuko's dream calls out
again, this time coming from someone in real life, and that person throws Yuko the
Valis sword, allowing Yuko to attack not only this monster but all the monsters
coming in.
That person turns out to be Varia/Valia, a being from fantasy world (whose name has
changed in later translations). fantasy world exists in another dimension, but is
bound to the dimension Earth is in ("the real world") by the internal "Yin"/"Yang"
(always referred to with quotes) balance of people's souls - which has come out of
balance because of Yin's power "Vecanta," which has caused "people" to "entertain"
themselves with war. Rogles, a king of another dimension, is behind this
manipulation. To ensure his victory, Rogles took "Yang"'s power, put it in the
Phantasm Jewel, and broke it into pieces, scattering them across dimensions and
guarding them with his best guards. Yuko most now collect the pieces and use
"Yang"'s power to defeat Rogles.

Vectorman is a platform game developed by BlueSky Software and published by Sega
for the Sega Mega Drive. It was released on October 24, 1995 in North America and
on November 30, 1995 in Europe.
Vectorman was made partly in response to Nintendo/Rare's Donkey Kong Country, which
contained pioneering graphics with pre-rendered 3D models as sprites. Donkey Kong
Country's marketing stated that the game was impossible to do on Sega's Mega Drive,
and Vectorman acts as one attempt to prove Nintendo wrong.
The game was first released in Japan on the PC compilation Sega Archives From USA
Vol.1. The game is also a part of the Sega Mega Drive Collection for the
PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable and is part of the Sonic Gems Collection for
the Nintendo GameCube. It was released on the Wii Virtual Console on February 27,
2007 in Japan and April 5, 2007 in Europe, and in North America on September 22,
2008. Vectorman is part of Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection as well.

Humanity has long since advanced into space, and colonies have been established on
many planets, but humanity has yet to contact any alien life. However, an emergency
signal has come from the planet Shirakusa. During a colonization survey, contact
was lost with the battleship Aphrodite. As a member of the elite Verytex squad, you
are sent to investigate.
Verytex is a vertically scrolling space shooter with vague organic themes. There
are six stages and three different weapon types: Normal Shot, a standard
multidirectional cannon; Beam Laser, a powerful forward-shooting weapon; and
Boomerang Laser, a wide-range forward shot. Each weapon type can be upgraded to
three increasing levels of power. Also available are homing missiles, which are
also upgradeable, as well as smart bombs and shield pickups.
Gameplay:
Verytex was a very straight-forward Shoot em' Up: it had an easy to learn weapon
system with three weapons and three power-up levels for each, shield pick-up icons
and the option to shift the ship's speed to three levels. Players had to fight
seemingly robotic enemies through six long levels and face a boss at the end of
each one with the occasional mini-boss between. Verytex was one of many Shoot em'
Ups with a checkpoint system involved; it is often criticized for having long,
almost 2 minute stretches in levels, fighting the same waves of enemies again with
little difference in attack patterns. Often these sections are longer than the rest
of the level. They lead up into the boss, and when you lose a life against the
boss, you must restart the 2 minute section over again. Verytex also had a limited
number of lives for the player to use and a Continue option was available only on
the Main Menu.
Hints:
Extra Lives - Pause the game, then while holding down press start for each extra
life you want.
Extra Shields - Pause the game, then hold right and press start for each extra
shield you want.
Pause Game - Hold A + B + C + Start

Viewpoint is an arcade isometric shooter, released in 1992 by SNK for the Neo-Geo
arcade platform. By default, 1P and 2P can only play one after another; in the
Service Mode though, simultaneous gameplay can be enabled.
Directions:
Move your space craft around, trying to dodge enemy attacks and not to clash with

see. Grab power-ups for a boost and use special weapons on enemies that are a bit
tougher!
Gameplay:
Viewpoint is a top-down orthographic perspective game in the tradition of Zaxxon.

The PlayStation and Saturn versions feature 3D rendered graphics with texture maps,
unlike the other versions which primarily feature shaded polygons.
One or two players (in hot-seat or cooperative mode) control a spaceship equipped
with a laser cannon which can be charged (by holding the shooting button down) for
a stronger blast. Besides the main weapon, three special weapons are available: a
wall of fire which wipes the screen up in a wave, a nova-like blast and a circle of

One year after after the first tournament Akira, Wolf, Pai, Jeffry, Kage, Jacky,
Sarah and defending champion Lau are invited to the World Fighting Tournament, and
are joined by the master of drunken Kung-Fu Shun-di, who wants to prove he's more
than an old geezer and Lion Rafale, who's fighting for his freedom. Each fighter
has his own style, from the lightning fast attacks of Pai to the powerful slams of
Jeffry.
Gameplay:
Home port of Sega's popular Model 2A arcade vs. fighter released in 1995. Game
modes include classic arcade mode, 2P vs mode, Expert mode (where the computer
character progressively learns and counters players' technique), Ranking Mode
(similar to Arcade, but at the end, a fighting style analysis is shown based on
number of specials and time to knock down an opponent), Team Battle Mode (two teams
composed of five fighters go against each other, the first to beat five characters
being the winner) and Watch mode (allows choosing two fighters and then see them
fighting). Both VF2 and VF2.1 (a tweaked version available only in Japan) modes are
included. Gameplay keeps the same style from the first game, adding more moves to
each fighters' roll. Using a three-key layout (block, kick and punch, being
possible to assign button combinations to the extra keys) the player is able to
control their fighter, aiming to knock or push the opponent outside the rink inside
the time limit. Combo moves range from the quickest, which require the player to
push up to five buttons quickly, to strong moves that require more button presses
along d-pad nudges to be successful. As with the previous game, fighting is
realistic (except the physics-defying leaps), and each fighter has nothing but
their body to harm the opponent.
While in comparison with the arcade version some parts took a hit on graphical
quality (such as the texture details and backgrounds), the game uses the Saturn
High-Resolution mode and flowing 60-fps to bring the arcade experience home.
Trivia:
- This was the first Sega Mega Drive game to be released in Japan on Virtual
Console for Nintendo Wii.
- The Sega Genesis port doesn't feature Shun Di and Lion Rafale, the two new
characters introduced in the arcade version of Virtua Fighter 2.
Hints:
- Different Costumes -
To play in a character's different costumes, Hold UP and then select your character
with the A button or C button. or Hold DOWN and select your character with the A
button or C button or Start button.

the hidden options are displayed
- No Damage -
Hold B while highlighting player 1's life selection at the Options screen, until

- Play as Dural -
Just highlight Akira if using controller one or Jacky if using controller two. Then
press Left and then Right on the D-Pad. Repeat this a few times and Dural should
then appear as a selectable character. Now you can use him as your character in the
game!

Virtua Racing is a home port of Sega's first ever 3D polygon-based racing game from
the arcade. The game consists of racing Formula-1-looking cars around a beginner,
intermediate or expert track competing against a second player or computer drivers.
Despite having Formula-1 cars, the game controls feel very "arcadey" and you can
see the leap they made from here to Daytona.
The Megadrive/Genesis version of Virtua Racing is particularly interesting as it is

the only game for the system which features the "SVP" or "Sega Virtua Processor".
This is a 3D processor built into each cartridge (the console itself had no 3D
capability) and is very similar to the SNES's SuperFX chips, used in games such as
Starfox and Stunt Race FX. However at the time the cost was tremendous meaning that
this game cost around 1.5 times as much as a regular game. It did not sell well
making this game quite a rare collector's item. Also of note - AFAIK the SVP chip
has not been emulated to date hence you will need a real console and cart to play
this game!

_________________________
Virtual Pinball is the spiritual successor to Bill Budge's classic Pinball
Construction Set. Programmed by Bill Budge, this Sega Genesis game allows the
player to try different pre-built pinball tables and additionally create, save and
play custom tables.
Directions:
First, there are a bunch of options to choose before you start the game. Choose
what board you want. There are also a lot of secret boards you can access with
cheat codes in the "enter code" section of play mode.
Then choose which background you want to play on. You may also change what the
flippers, bumpers, and obstacles theme is.
After you do this, you may choose the music and one or two players. In two player
mode, you just take turns playing one ball.
The A button will pull back the plunger. B is used to shake the machine. Shake all
you want, because it is impossible to tilt it. The only complaint in the gameplay
is the fact that in multiball mode you can't see both balls. The board is so big
you can't see the whole thing at once, so the camera will follow your first ball,
and you'll lose track of the extra one.
Gameplay:
A player will start with 4 balls. Once a game is started a ball is placed in the
launcher. The ball is launched by pressing and holding the A button, with the time
held determing the power of the launch. All left flippers are controlled by the D-
pad, while all right flippers are controlled by the C button. Hitting B will nudge
the table, and can be used in conjunction with the D-pad to nudge in a certain
direction.
Controls:
A Button: Pull Plunger

B Button: Shake Machine
C Button: Right Flipper
D-pad: Left Flipper
Start Button: Start, Pause
Hints:
- No Tilt -
You can't tilt the machine, so be sure to shake all you want to keep the ball from
going down the "drain."

Dastardly and Muttley are set on winning (or sabotaging) the annual Wacky Races. A

Might have made a pretty good competitor for Mario Kart if the game had been
completed. The known beta lacks the polish of a finished product, but is playable
and looks decent enough, the worst bit is the poor sound.

Wani Wani World is a modified conversion of the 1991 Kaneko coin-op The Berlin
Wall, itself based on the 1980 coin-op Space Panic. Two small dinosaurs with very
large hammers, Charlie and Smiley, make their way through numerous screens of
platforms and ladders filled with enemies. Their only method of attack is to bash a
hole in the ground, wait for an enemy to fall into it, and then bash the enemy in
the head, which causes the enemy to fall and transform into items and delicious
food.
There are five worlds, each with several screens and large boss at the end, as well
as a minigame between worlds where bonus items can be earned. The game can be
played alone or two-player cooperatively.

Controller: Gamepad
Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1993
Developer: Accolade
Publisher: Accolade
Players: 1
_________________________
The premise of Warpspeed is to rid the current scenario of enemy fighters.
Scenarios make use of quadrants in which the player flies sector by sector or uses
faster-than-light travel to warp from sector to sector. Most space flight consists
of navigating asteroid fields, although some sectors contain mines that must be
destroyed. During the course of gameplay, the player receives transmissions
regarding various topics, consisting of clearing out minefields to travelling to a
specific sector to obtain some manner of space technology before the enemy reaches
it. Other transmissions are distress signals from space stations asking for
assistance from approaching enemy fighters.
Warpspeed features gameplay that takes simulates all directions of movement,

allowing the player to supposedly travel in 360 degrees in flight; however, the
quadrant is laid out in a 2-D configuration so that the player only really travels
along an X-axis and a Y-axis. Wormholes are also located in various quadrants and
allow transport to other quadrants; however, they slowly deplete the vessel's warp
drive reserves.
The game allows four different space craft for the player to use, each with
progressively stronger weapons. The players accumulated game score eventually
allows the player to automatically upgrade to the next available craft. The game
also features an award system based on the number of points you have gained from
destroying enemy fighters to achieving other goals.
The game also features a damage system that affects the performance of your craft.
For instance, if the damage control screen indicates your engines have been
damaged, your maximum speed will decrease; if your weapons system has taken damage,
your weapons will not always fire correctly, etc.
Throughout the quadrant there may be one or multiple space stations for the player
to dock with, refuel and replenish their ship's systems, ammunition, and warp drive
reserves. These stations are critical to the player and if they are lost, they can
not be replaced.
If the players craft suffers too much damage, the vessel will be destroyed. The
player has three lives to complete the chosen scenario. If the player loses all
three lives, the game is over.

_________________________
Warrior of Rome 2 is a real time war simulation strategy game.
Released in '93 till date there is nothing comparable to what it has achieved. Set
in the backdrop of the Roman Empire's heyday it tells the story of Caesar and his
famous battles.
The game plays like hardly any other game ever made making it strikingly unique.
Two armies face each other on a set map and are allowed to construct there own
formation of useful buildings while at the same time fighting each other off and
growing in skill level. As units gain experience from battles they improve their
combat function, speed of movement, building skills, sailing skills, depending of
course on what they have been experiencing. If a unit gets killed all of its
experience gets lost along with it so the skill balance then tips in favor of the
opposing army. If this happens too much a very balanced war then turns into a rout
with the quickness. Controlling each unit is done with a host of specific commands
allowing you to have pin point control over the movements of your units. You can
have your units attack any structure from a peasant's house to the enemies main
fortress or move to any point on the map you choose.
Having total control over the movements allows you to micro manage all aspects of
your war strategy keeping in mind the bigger picture of what is going on on the map
in general. This game plays like nothing else out there.
The story is that of Caesar which has been told many times by Shakespeare in his
semi historical play. The only difference here is the ending and the fact that you
follow Caesar step by step until he reaches Rome. The ending is a shocker for those
of you familiar with the story of Caesar and I won't give it away here because that
would be a spoiler of sorts. The symphonic soundtrack feels as though it was
written especially for the many moments of suspension and tension through out the
game as the story unfolds setting the mood perfectly.
Graphically this game performs on a very high level. The units develop different
animations based on there skill levels. If the unit is specialized in speed it gets
a horse. If it really is good at speed it gets a imperial white horse. If the unit
is specialized in combat it gets a shield and sword but if it is better at aerial
attacks it walks around with a bow and arrow. One of the most impressive animations
are the volley animations when arrows or napalm are flying around they are executed
with a fluidity that is impressive.
As for sound and music this game had some sort of master working on it.
Even though the music loops every 90 seconds it never gets old and it is composed
to fit the atmosphere of the game, sort of old school music and it sets the mood
perfectly for what goes on as the game develops.
The re-playability of this game is astounding. Mostly due to the 2 player mode that
has 44 maps to select from, each one demonstrating a unique complexion of geography
that makes you think and evaluate strategy on different levels. The 2 player mode
is where this game really shines because the a.i. of this game is the only weak
link. complex strategies that develop as you understand how this game functions are
never executed by the a.i. but going up against a human player there is no limit to
the combinations of strategies that will get played out against each side, creating
some of the most outrageous scenarios you could imagine.
My final recommendation is that it takes time to learn how to play this game
because of the depth and the unique control scheme that most video game players
will find themselves unfamiliar with but once you have figured out how this game
works you will realize that this is definitely a masterpiece.
(On a side note Warrior Of Rome 3 was released on the Super Nintendo in Japan and
uses the same game engine as 2 except it is upgraded a little bit and has a new
story. This is probably the most rare game for that system only 500 of them were
printed due to financial constraints of the publisher. Considering how good 2 is 3
is probably real good if someone could find it that would be cool. As for now no
one knows where a copy is.)
Hints:
- Tug of war mode -

To access a secret tug of war mode, start a new game, and press start. Go to Load
Data, and put the cursor on the right edge of the box. Hold start on the second
controller, and press A on controller one. Then press start on controller one. To

Another victim of localization was Langrisser, at least graphically. When it became

Developer: Data Design Interactive

Players: 1
_________________________
Some time in the future, a shift of the earth's polar axis has resulted in a world
of endless water where those who managed to survive reverted to a primitive form of
life. What is left is the search for dry land. Floating cities, called Atolls,
serve as a place of habitat for a simple and moral type of people who work to
protect precious water, soil, seed, and other highly valuable resources that are
essential for their existence. More mobile and larger in numbers than the Atollers
are a gang of pillaging Smokers, led by the evil Deacon (aka Dennis Hopper). Their
efforts are focused entirely on attaining and controlling anything and everything
to build their evil empire. In half wrecked Atolls, the last remaining Atollers are
waiting to be rescued.
As the Mariner (aka Kevin Cosner), your mission is to prevent Smokers from
enslaving them. The Smokers most prized target is a little girl named Enola, who
has a map to dry land tattooed on her back. In the game, Enola is the floating
Atoller that flashes. If you are able to prevent Enola from being captured, at the
end of the round the bonus multiplier will increase.
There's no intro, but the startup screen comes along with an exciting 5 minutes
long intro tune. Sadly the in game music consists out of just one single additional
theme which will accompany you throughout ALL the levels in the game. The sound
effects also leave something to be desired, all you hear is a beep, a boom (that's
the explosions when you kill a Smoker) and a blab.
But before I go on, I think everyone should have at least seen the motion picture
movie of Waterworld first. I just remembered that I recorded Waterworld on video a
few years back when it was on TV, I have to go look it up... *searching* ... yep
found it in the middle of a huge stack of videotapes. I think it's best that I go
watch it now, because reading the storyline up there makes me want to view the
action scenes and ending again ... I;ll be right back!
... Two and a half hours later ...
Wow, this movie might have flopped in the theaters because of the slim plot, but
for such a long movie I think it has a lot of great action and fun scenes, I
enjoyed it, so again: go rent it now. (editors note: Waterworld is only recommended
if you are attempting to lull yourself into a coma). You see, each level starts
with the Mariner arriving at an Atoll. Upon nearing the Atoll, the Mariner is
ambushed by an army of Smokers whose primary focus is to capture the Atollers (and
Enola of course) within the Atoll. A level is finished when the final enemy is
destroyed, which happens to be at the end of each level. Bonus points are awarded
for each Atoller saved. If you lose all of the Atollers prepare yourself for the PT
onslaught, enemies that are extremely hard to beat, but must be destroyed to
survive and pass to the next round.
If a Smoker picks up an Atoller, they will begin to flash, destroy his craft
(mostly water-bikes) to make him drop the Atoller back into the water, so that the
Atollers can continue their "oh help me I've fallen into the water please rescue
me" routines again. When you play, you can move your Trimaran everywhere in 3D, but
that's about it, the animations of the four enemies (Smokers, Beserkers, Thrashers,
and Seekers), are very standard and don't look much like 3D. More dodgy, but you do
get that Arcade shooter feeling when you're firing at all the bad guys. You get an
extra life every 25,000 points, so be sure to save Enola as much as possible.
I didn't mention controls before, because they are dead easy, handy is to press
down on the controller to get a bird's eye over view, then look where most Smokers
come from, thrust over there in front of them, and when the first one is next you
to turn the Trimaran in their direction and take them all out in a row as you drift
on. The levels get harder and harder as you get further, but they just don't seem
to become more fun to play with the same level and enemies over and over again.
This is one of those games that you play every once in a while when you just want
to blast things. Barely medium quality game, at least they gave the multiplayer
game a go by adding an 1-9 alternating players option to have your friends join in.
Unfortunately they had to cancel the 2-player linkup mode, because Nintendo didn't
release the linkup cable.
It's pretty funny to see "mild animated violence" on the box when all you see when
the sharks eat an Atoller is a scull rising up as the shark disappears. I don't
dislike this game like a lot of people do, it's a nice try at this genre, it's just
too average. I had lots more fun watching the movie, which most consider a flop
too.

_________________________
Though not revolutionary, this game is enjoyable, especially fighting. You can
change your lines at will, show replays to taunt your friends you scored on, or
even intimidate to start a fight! This game also has a season mode to run through
to win the Stanley Cup. There seems to be no real NHL teams though, I didn't
understand that, but it is interesting none the less!
Directions:
Just as in any typical hockey game in real life, get the hockey puck into your
opponents' net for a goal. Team with most points after 3 periods is the winner.
Watch out for penalties, and no fighting or you'll go to the penalty box!
Gameplay:
Players can play in exhibition mode, regular season mode, playoff mode, and even
listen to stereotypical music of each nation in the sound test mode (country music
for Canada, rock and roll music for Team USA, for example). In the Sega version,
the player's names are formalized (Thomas instead of Tom, David instead of Dave,
Steven instead of Steve, etc.).
Players can also have the CPU play some or all of their regular season, but the
computer will lose more games than win them so it's important to play as many games
as possible manually. In addition to NHL teams, the player can also play as
international teams(Sweden, Finland, Czechoslovakia, Russia, United States and
Canada).

_________________________
In an age of conquerors, on a bloody battlefield... a wounded mercenary draws his
last breath... and the spirit of a demon enters his body. He is reborn, rising from
the dead to challenge the residing war king to a duel. With one blow a new empire
is started...10 days and 20 dead rulers later the armies and lands are united by
one man's hand. The reign of the DemonLord Zarak has begun.
At the height of the demon's power, the prophecy of his doom was foretold by a
tribal shaman...
"When the night turns violent and the moon bleeds, gripped by the skeletal fingers
of death...a child will rise to face the demon in combat...and the lord of demons
will fall by the hand of...the WeaponLord."
Against the advice of his lieutenants to kill the children born that night, the
DemonLord waits to face his foretold killer in fair, one on one combat. The
DemonLord Zarak is a true warrior, even evil can have honor.
25 years later...
Sensing the prophecy is at hand, the DemonLord holds a great tournament of champion
warriors. The winner will face the demon in a final battle. The Demonlord prepares
to meet his destiny head on...and destroy the WeaponLord.
Gameplay:
At its core, WeaponLord is a standard 2D fighting game experience. Where it differs

is in its gameplay mechanics, and in some of its aesthetic choices and
presentation. Some of WeaponLord's more original features were:
- Thrust-Blocking - An aggressive blocking system two years ahead of Street

Fighter III's similar Parry System.
- Multiple Endings - Characters would have completely different ending

sequences depending if the player beat the Story or Arcade modes.
- Weapon-To-Weapon - When two player's weapon's clash at the same time, a

struggle ensues to see who can overpower the other.
- Weapon Breaking - Character's weapons can be broken. This occurs when a

Weapon-to-weapon struggle happens, and one player immediately Two-in-One's into a
special move. This breaks off a portion of their opponent's weapon, greatly
reducing their range and damage capabilities.
- Deflect - Each character has one special move that acts as a Deflect. This is
similar to a thrust block, as it collides with an enemy's strike, knocks it
backward...but it then automatically hits the character while they're off-guard.
- Take Downs - Certain special moves that also knock an opponent onto their
back. A player can then follow up with additional attacks while their foe is still
on the floor.
- Hair/Clothing Trim - When certain attacks are performed on an opponent in

mid-swing, you can cut off a piece of their clothing or their hair. An added
humiliation.
- Password System - A password is given at the end of a match, so the player

can always return to the middle of a game, if need be. A secret password is also
given so the DemonLord Zarak is playable in Story Mode.
- Death Combos - Unlike Mortal Kombat or Primal Rage, Death Combos are a
certain string of regular and special moves that each have a gory effect on their
opponents. These combos take skill and timing to master, and can also be done in a
few different sequences. Some effects include disembowellings, decapitations, head
splittings which expose the brain, and body pulp; which tears away most of the
flesh from the torso.

or up to three people can play against each other.
Directions:
Just like in the very popular game show, you spin the wheel with a certain amount
of power and land on the money amount. Then guess a consonant and you get that
money amount times the number of letters you guess in the word(s). Buy vowels to
help you out and solve! Person with most money is victorious!

_________________________
Worldwide Crime Wave!
ACME Detective Agency Hot On The Trail Of Master Thief Carmen Sandiego And Her
Henchmen.
WANTED: Detective to locate and capture Carmen and her gang. Must be a hard
working, independent, fun-seeking individual willing to travel the world. No
experience necessary.
Gameplay:
Carmen Sandiego is a game that tests the player's knowledge about geography and
general knowledge about different countries. Missions will begin with a treasure
being stolen and the player flying to that location. A time limit counts down while
they must search the area and interview witnesses to find enough clues to figure
out what country the thief flew to next. The player always has a limited selection
(usually three or four) of flights available in any given country. This process is
repeated until either the villain is found or time expires and they are able to get
away. Along with finding out where the thief has headed, the player must discover
who the thief is, by best matching personal characteristics (gender, hair color,
eye color, hobbies, notable features) to dossiers on Carmen's gang. There must be
enough characteristics matched in order to obtain a warrant, which is essential to
legally arrest the suspect once they have been found.
Progress in arresting VILE members will expose other members, eventually leading up
to Carmen Sandiego herself.

Release Year: 1990

_________________________
In the year 2222 AD, three exploratory spaceships departed our overpopulated solar
system with the goal of finding new worlds to colonize. Five years later, the ships
were listed as "Missing and presumed lost" with their last transmission: "We are
approaching planet Voltegeus..." Less than a week after the incident, a massive
alien vessel materialized in the vicinity of Mars and was heading towards Earth.
Gameplay:
Whip Rush is a side-scrolling (with certain vertically scrolling descents and

ascents) shooter similar to Gaiares and R-Type.
You start with 3, 4 or 6 ships depending on the difficulty level you select.
In addition to moving and shooting, your ship has Power Claws that you can rotate
and extend for offensive and defensive purposes. Power Claws can be equipped up to
two units and can shoot bullets.
The upgradeable weapons are Laser, Missile, Fireball and Power Claw.
Laser is forward firing only but is rapid and strong, missiles can shoot back and
forth and when shot from the Power Claw they will home in on enemies. Fireballs
shoot in the opposite direction of your ships travel.
Unlike most other games, your ship has variable speed, which comes in handy when
negotiating different kinds of obstacles and enemies.

"Snakes! Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?"
The nest of deadly snakes has been disturbed by seismic experiments in a remote
location. Now the snakes are slithering to the surface, causing confused terror in
attacks on everything that crosses their path.
There is a way to control this madness, but it's not going to be easy. The snakes
from this nest tend to eat snakes of the same color and design. If you can guide
the slithering masses so that snakes of the same type meet and eliminate each
other, then the world could be saved from this snake infestation.
It's all up to you! Guide the snakes, find matching pairs and keep the population
under control!

Gynoug, called Wings of Wor in the US, is a shoot-'em-up developed by NCS in 1991

Iccus, who are attacking the heavens, back to their home and destroy them.
Gynoug uses a string of orbs to represent power level: collecting red and blue orbs
will add one to a meter of the appropriate color in the HUD (and will consequently
power up your weapons); losing a life takes one away from each.

Winter Challenge is a video game that portrays seven winter sports that are

International Olympic Committee, the United States Olympic Committee, or any
similar organization for any other country. It was released for the Mega
Drive/Genesis.
Gameplay:
Most of the games consisted of using the directional pad for steering, and the A,
B, and C buttons for performing certain functions like shooting, running, braking,
or pushing off, as you would for the ski jump. Button mashing was necessary as
times for a couple of the events, but most were focused on timing and accuracy. The
ski jump was scored by distance, and the biathlon was scored by time and shooting
accuracy. All the other events were scored by time.

Wiz 'n' Liz
Region: USA
Media: Cartridge

Genre: Platformer
Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1993
Developer: Raising Hell
Players: 1
_________________________
Wiz 'n' Liz are magicians. They live on the planet Pum and brew potions and cast
spells. They also tend to wabbits. Lots of wabbits. One day, a concoction went awry
and sent all the wabbits to distant parts of Pum. Wiz 'n' Liz set off to look for
them.
Catch all the wabbits in tons of levels in several difficulty settings. Create
magical words and mix ingredients for extra lives, bonus levels and other
surprises. Features a password save system so you can take off where you left.
Gameplay:
The game takes place on a series of levels, each divided into eight worlds. Each
world has a distinct graphical style and music, but the basic gameplay remains the
same. Wiz and/or Liz must run through the landscape collecting the wabbits, against
a strict time limit. To win, the player must collect floating letters which appear
when a wabbit is collected, to spell out various words. Once collected, the player
then must wescue all remaining wabbits on the level, collecting fruit, stars and
clocks to increase the time limit. The limit starts at one minute and is only
restarted when the player character dies. This time limit can however be extended
by collecting a glowing orange orb which appears in the last ten seconds of a
countdown and gives 30 seconds of bonus time.
Various kinds of fruit can be mixed in a cauldron, and depending on the fruit, the
effect can be bonus points; a minigame; a weird graphical effect; a bit of
silliness (such as declaring a "Game Over" and killing your character, only to put
them back and sheepishly say "Only joking..."); turning the wabbits wed, bloo, or
gween; or "Absolutely Nothing".
Like other Psygnosis games, Wiz'n'Liz features a number of cameo appearances from
other Psygnosis characters, including Puggsy and Lemmings.
The Bonus game was featured in the original mid-90s run of competitive gaming
television show Games World (broadcast on Sky One in the UK) as one of the
challenges. Player took turns to play the Bonus game of collecting the bloo
wabbits, and the highest scorer won that particular challenge. The game was not
featured when the show was revived in 2000, largely because the Sega Mega Drive had
become obsolete.
Hints:
- Bonus Round Cheat -

After completing the first round of any land with more than one round, wait for the
words ''Push Start Button'' and ''Yeah!'' to appear. Hold A and C, and press Start.
All the bonus letters will light up, letting you go to the bonus stage after you
beat that land. Unfortuately, this trick doesn't work on every level.
- Cheat Passwords -
To fight against any of the screen-filling monster bosses in Wiz'n'Liz, enter the
password TCDT GBBS. Other interesting passwords include BBBB BBBB, TTTT TTTT, CBSK
LGQD and MQHS PKDN. The password MGTP GLLS will take you to the last round of the
final level.
- Fight Any Monster Boss -

To fight any screen-filling monster boss, enter TCDT GBBS as a password.
- Half-Priced Items in Shops -

When the word ''Buy'' is highlighted hold Start and press C to cut all prices of
items in half.
- New Difficulty Level -

When the Sega logo appears, hold A, B, C and press Start twice. You should hear a
voice say ''Yeah!'' if you did it correctly.
- Open Shop and 100 Stars -

Simply press Start and hold C at the last letter of any valid password.
- Skip to Final Level -

To skip to the last round of the final level, enter MGTP GLLS as a password.

Dr. Kal Morrow, expert in genetic research and creation of human-animal hybrids,
has been kidnapped and his family brutally murdered by the terrorist organization
CHIMERA. His surviving son Saul takes it upon himself to avenge his family. Using
his father's research, he turns into a man-wolf and sets out to find CHIMERA's base
and defeat their leader Karl Draxx.
As Saul, it is your job to traverse five different areas on your way to Draxx. When
Saul collects enough power-ups, he turns into his wolf form and gains a special
psychic shot attack, which can be improved by collecting futher power-ups. However,
if Saul loses health, he turns back into his human form and only has his fists to
fight the numerous enemies.
Gameplay:
Wolfchild was designed by Simon Phipps, also responsible for the earlier
Switchblade 2, a rather similar game. The action is viewed from the side and
scrolls in eight directions. The player must guide Saul through five levels,
negotiating platforms and shooting various monsters, the result of Chimera
experiments. Initially, the player character is Saul in his normal, human form.
Only when enough energy has been collected does he turn into a wolf-human, giving
him much better attack techniques.

They're ferocious, beastly, wicked - you name it. That's right. The monsters from
the far end of the universe have invaded. They've pillaged Xenobia and now they're
headed for your town! Join Leo and Priscila and destroy them before it's too late
to save the world!
Directions:
You play a green-haired boy hero (player 1) or a pink-haired girl hero (player 2)
who must attack the invaders that attempt to collect weapons and use them to
destroy the land. The game starts out like a simple platform game, but it's just
when Wonder Boy enters the skull further on that the game is transformed into a
shoot 'em up, so basically the gameplay consists of action and shooter scenes.
Gameplay:
The game balances basic concepts found in both platformers and arcade shooters. The
player is able to jump and shoot projectiles from a sword. S/he must ride a flying
dragon and confront a large boss throughout the second half of each round. The
player's life bar steadily diminishes as time passes. Health is gained through
collection of fruit and projectile weapons. Some fruits, when shot, will expand and
burst into multiple items.
In the action scenes, your vitality decreases as you make your way towards the
skull, but this can be restored by collecting fruit. A wide variety of weapons can
be picked up, and not only do these allow you to use the weapons for a limited
amount of time, but they also increase your vitality. In the shooter scenes, you
ride your pink friend as you make your way through the scene. Here, your vitality
remains static unless you are hit by an enemy passing by. As usual, there is a boss
waiting for you at the end which you must defeat. Every boss changes color to show
how much damage has been done to it. You have to defeat some bosses in two stages.
If your vitality gets low in each scene, you'll lose a life. You can also choose to
have Wonder Girl join you, as two players can play the game

_________________________
This soccer game lets you choose a team representing one of twenty-four countries
around the world to participate in the World Championship tournament. This is
identical to the real 1990 World Cup.
Once you pick your team you can also select which players you want on the field, so
that you can round out the team's strengths and weaknesses. Also provided are modes
for single exhibition matches, either against the computer or against a friend.
Gameplay:
The game presents a top-down view of a simple version of soccer (there are no
fouls, substitutions, or strategies). Players must dribble and pass the ball
towards one end of the field and try to score a goal by forcing the ball into the
opposing team's net. When the player's team has the ball, he or she can either
dribble the ball across the field, kick the ball towards the goal, pass the ball in
the air to another team member, or kick the ball forward in the direction that the
player is currently facing. When the opposing team has the ball, the player can
switch between different team members on the field, or slide kick their opponent to
dislodge the ball from their control.
When the ball goes out of bounds, the game will switch to a full-screen graphical
view for a corner kick or a goal kick. If the game ends in a tie and is not an
elimination round match during the championship mode, the game will switch to a
graphical penalty kick view.
To start a game, the player must first select which country they would like to be.
Teams are rated on a scale from 1 to 5 (5 being the best) based on four different
attributes (Speed, Skill, Defense, and Keeper). The best team in the game is
Brazil, while the worst two teams are the USA and Japan. Games run for 90 minutes,
where each minute in the game is actually 6 seconds. There are three audio tracks
during game play, chosen based on the teams in the match.

to find the greatest fighters of different eras to compete against Geegus.
Featuring a cast of characters ranging from ninjas to a cybernetic supersoldier,

you'll fight your way through standard-fare one-on-one matches or take on an

buttons instead of pneumatic buttons. In the SNES version (and later games,
starting with World Heroes 2 Jet), it is possible to assign the 4 basic attacks to
different buttons. In World Heroes Perfect, each character had a traditional four-
button attack layout, but could also achieve stronger attacks by pushing down two
respective punch or kick buttons at the same time.
In World Heroes Perfect, every character has an ABC Special Move that can be
activated by pressing the A, B, and C buttons at the same time. Moves vary by
character, though they all require strategic use and are easy to activate, allowing
for more tactical battles. For example, the character Fuuma's ABC Special allows
him to fake a special move; J. Max's ABC Special allows him to catch, hold onto,
and throw back projectiles; and Kim Dragon's ABC Special allows him to perform
counters while blocking.
Aside from the normal tournament mode, there is also a popular Deathmatch mode
(which was removed in World Heroes 2 Jet and World Heroes Perfect). In it, the
arenas are filled with different kinds of traps that can change conditions in the
bouts or even damage the characters (such as spikes, bombs, greasy or sticky
floors, etc.). Deathmatch mode may have been inspired by the growing popularity of
deathmatch style professional wrestling in Japan at the time, mostly made famous by
Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling.

_________________________
World of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck is a Mega Drive/Genesis
video game that was produced by Sega of America and released in 1992.
It is a semi-sequel to the previous games that Sega produced based on Walt Disney
cartoon characters. In the game, Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck are sucked into a
magical world, while preparing for a magic act. Now they must survive over a dozen
different side-scrolling levels, in order to return home. In Japan the title of the
game was, Alive! Mickey & Donald: Fushigi na Magic Box.
Gameplay:
The game's music, artwork and animation shows influences from classic Disney
animated films, including; Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, The Sword in the Stone,
Alice in Wonderland and Pinocchio. While often mistaken for a similar platform
based video game, this game had many features that broke the mold.
The gameplay changes slightly depending on if the player selects Mickey or Donald,
in a one player mode, or if two people want to control both characters at once.
Mickey and Donald can run, jump, or attack by flourishing their capes. Enemies
defeated in this way turn into doves, cards, or other harmless objects depending on
the enemy. After defeating the boss of each level, a new magic spell is learned,
allowing the pair to traverse the next level; i.e. flying on a magic carpet or
going underwater in an air bubble. This was one of the few Genesis games to feature
voice samples.
Magic Spells
Along the way, Mickey and Donald learn new magic to perform in later levels.
- Magic Carpet (Level 1): Allowed Mickey and Donald to fly on a magic carpet in
level 2.
- Underwater Bubble (Level 2): Allowed Mickey and Donald to breathe underwater.
- Magic Box Transportation (Level 3): Mickey and Donald could transport to
different places using magic boxes.
- Card Control (Level 4) Mickey and Donald put certain large playing cards under
their control, making a bridge or a pathway to the other side of a large gap.

Directions:
As in any soccer match in real life you simply, while having the ball in
possession, try to score a goal by getting the ball into your opponents net. While
on defense try to steal the ball. The matches are long and of course best score
wins!
Gameplay:
Gameplay is simple, and works only with two of the buttons of the gamepad - "B" is
used to pass the ball low, and "C" to lob the ball. While a button to shoot is
absent, if a button is held pressed, when released the ball goes at a much higher
speed. The directional button can also be used to give after touch in lobbed balls
and change direction or touching the ball backwards with the heel in low passes.
Optionally, the "A" button can be used to swap to the nearest player, if the
automatic option is disabled.
The game puts several tactics at the disposal of the player, while the computer has
a predefined tactic for each team. Each tactic has its own advantage: the 4-3-3
tactic using a sweeper is the only one that allows a player to recover if the
goalkeeper is beaten and 4-4-2 allows midfield control from the wings, for
instance.

or more of the available weapons and tools.
The weapons include simple firearms like the shotgun and uzi, alongside a variety
of heavy weapons such as the bazooka (the default selection), cluster grenades and
airstrikes. The game also includes a number of 'secret' weapons (available through
cheat codes on options screens or 'weapon drops' during the game) such as the
Banana Bomb and exploding sheep, for which the series has become famous.
Also available are various tools such as the 'drill', 'blowtorch' and 'girders' -
often used to add protection, adding additional strategy elements. The 'ninja
rope', 'bungee' and 'teleport' are also available for greater movement across the

_________________________
WWF Raw is a professional wrestling game featuring 10 superstars from the World
Wrestling Federation. The wrestlers you can choose from include Bret "Hit Man"
Hart, Bam Bam Bigelow, 1-2-3 Kid, Diesel, Doink, Lex Luger, Luna Vachon, Owen Hart,
Razor Ramon, Shawn Michaels, Undertaker, and Yokozuna.
In this game, you attempt to pin your opponent to the mat by reducing his power
meter until he can fight no more. There is a large number of moves to perform,
including turnbuckle maneuvers and "illegal" acts such as hitting your opponent
with a metal folding chair.
This game supports up to 4 simultaneous players, and has the following game modes:
One-on-One, Tag Team, Bedlam, Survivor Series, Royal Rumble, Raw Endurance Match,
and Rematch.
Gameplay:
and Rematch.
- Match types -
In a One-on-One match, two wrestlers (one player versus the computer or two
players) square off for a face-to-face bout. One Fall, Brawl, and Tournament
variations are available. One Fall matches feature an in-ring referee and are
contested under standard rules. Victory is achieved by a 3-count pinfall or a
count-out if a wrestler stays outside of the ring for a full 10 count. In a Brawl,
however, the referee is absent. This allows unlimited time outside the ring and
illegal moves such as eye raking and choking are allowed at all times. The Brawl
match doesn't require a pinfall to win; instead, the first player to be entirely
drained of their stamina submits in defeat. In a Tournament, a player must battle
through the entire roster in a series of One Fall matches to win the championship
belt.
A Tag Team match is made up of two teams of two wrestlers (if two players are
involved, they can choose to either control opposite teams or be on the same team
against the computer). Whenever one wrestler gets tired, they can tag in their
partner. A wrestler on the apron can grab an opponent if they get close to the
ropes, allowing their partner to attack them. One Fall, Brawl, and Tournament
configurations are available. In a standard tag team match, if an illegal wrestler
is in the ring for a full 10-count, his/her team will be disqualified. Otherwise,
the same rules for the singles One Fall and Brawl matches apply to tag team
matches. In the tag team Tournament mode, either one player or two cooperative
players will choose two wrestlers to form a team and then must defeat the remaining
wrestlers in a series of One Fall tag team matches to win the tag team
championship.
A Bedlam match is similar to a Tag Team match, except both team members are allowed
in the ring at the same time (Essentially a "Tornado" Tag Team match). A team must
defeat both members of the other team to win the match.
A Survivor Series match is also similar to a Tag Team match. Instead of only 2
members on each team, a team can consist of up to four wrestlers. It is also
elimination style, in which a team is only victorious when all the opponents'
teammates have been eliminated by pinfall, submission, countout, or
disqualification. Only one partner can appear on the apron at one time, but the
player can change outside partners via a button command.
The Royal Rumble begins with two wrestlers, and more adversaries enter until six
wrestlers are in the ring. Additional wrestlers enter as others are eliminated.
There are no holds barred, and elimination occurs when a wrestler is thrown out of
the ring. A wrestler must be worn down before they can be thrown out, unless
they're caught running with a hip toss or back body drop. The last wrestler
remaining in the ring after all twelve have entered wins the match. At the end of a
Royal Rumble, score rankings are shown giving a wrestler's total time in the ring
along with a list of opponents they eliminated.
A Raw Endurance match is a mix between a Survivor Series and a Bedlam. The player
picks his first wrestler, then up to five more partners. The choosing of partners
is optional, meaning a player can choose to go in with as much as a 6-on-1
handicap. The first team to eliminate all the members of the other team wins the
match.
Hints:
- Continue in Rumble -
During Royal Rumble, if you are thrown out, hold A, B, & C. If there are any
wrestlers left, you will come back as that person. You should hear a single bell
ring if done correctly.
- Full attributes -
Enter the CHANGE STATS code for the wrestler you want. When you are asked to change
the attributes, hold Start until you hear a strange noise. You can now set all the
attributes to 10!
- Handicap match -
During a one-on-one match (one fall, brawl, tournament) press A+B+C on controller
2, and a wrestler will come out and help the opponent.
- Play as partner -
In a one player game choose a tag team match, a bedlam or a survivor series. Start
the game, then press A+B+C to turn into your partner.
- Play as same character -

To play as a fighter that's already been chosen, move to that wrestler's selection
screen. To activate your selection, press Up + A + C.
Note: this code works with 4-player adapters, but you can only have two of any one
wrestler.
- Super punch mode -
This code will give you fists of steel. At the copyright screen, hold Start, then
press Up, Up, Up, Up. The screen will flash red and you'll hear a crash.
- Three punch KO mode -

At the copyright screen, hold A+B+C+START and rotate the d-pad clockwise. The
screen should flash red if done correctly.
- KO the Referre -
To knockout the ref, either punch him three times or run into him. While he\'s
unconcious you can perform illegal moves in the ring.
If you knock him out repeatedly, he\'ll run away and your match will become a
brawl. This lasts until one of you runs out of energy.

_________________________
WWF Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game merges the personalities and action of the
popular WWF TV show characters with a Mortal Kombat-style fighting game. This title
features digitized graphics of 8 WWF superstars: Doink, Razor Ramon, Bret "Hit Man"
Hart, Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, Yokozuna, Bam Bam Bigelow, and Lex Luger.
Although it is a wrestling title, this game is structured a lot like a one-on-one

fighter. It is very fast-paced, and features crazy special moves. Also, each match
is divided into a series of rounds, much like a fighting game. Instead of each
round ending in a KO, each round simply ends when you force the other wrestler(s)
to fall by reducing their energy meter. Game modes include single player arcade
mode, tournament mode, and vs mode for 1-on-1 multiplayer.
Gameplay:
Despite being based on professional wrestling, WrestleMania's digitized graphics

and fast-paced gameplay make it more of a fighting game in the vein of Midway's
Mortal Kombat series. The game is regarded as over the top for its use of attacks.
While some actual wrestling moves are present, matches consist primarily of insane
combos and special attacks, such as the Undertaker casting spirits at an opponent
and Doink shocking the opponent with a joy buzzer. There are other similarities to
the Mortal Kombat games, such as the winner being the victor of two out of three
rounds and players being awarded flawless victories, which are simply called
"perfect" here.
WrestleMania's one-player mode has the player choose one of eight wrestlers (Bam
Bam Bigelow, Bret "The Hitman" Hart, Doink the Clown, Lex Luger, Razor Ramon, Shawn
Michaels, The Undertaker or Yokozuna) and then go for either the Intercontinental
Championship or the WWF Championship by fighting through several matches. In the
Intercontinental Championship mode, the player must win four one-on-one matches,
two two-on-one matches, and one three-on-one match to win the title. In the more
difficult WWF Championship mode, the player must win four two-on-one matches, two
three-on-one matches, and finally a "WrestleMania Challenge," where the player must
defeat every wrestler in the game in a gauntlet, starting with a three-on-one
setup, with each eliminated opponent being replaced with another until all eight
have been defeated.
The game also features two multi-player modes; head to head, a one-on-one match
between two players, or cooperative, where the two players team up in a tag team
version of the WrestleMania Challenge in which they must defeat the game's eight
wrestlers in groups of two to become the Tag Team Champions.
Commentary is provided by Vince McMahon and Jerry "the King" Lawler, who also
appear in the game sitting at the announcer's table to the right of the ring.
The game was followed up by WWF In Your House for the PlayStation, Sega Saturn, and
PC.
Hints:
- Unlimited combos -
Pause game play and press B, A, Down, B, Up, Left(x2). Both characters may execute
unlimited combos.

from carrying out his diabolical plan. Their target is Magneto's secret base on
Asteroid M. But lying in ambush are the murderous arch villains Juggernaut,
Sabretooth, Mojo and Deathbird. Will Wolverine's adamantium claws and Gambit's
energy-charged playing cards be enough to defeat the forces of Magneto? That's up
to you.
Gameplay:
The game takes place in the Danger Room, a training area for the X-Men inside the
X-Mansion. A virus transmitted via satellite has infected the Danger Room,
disabling control and safety limits. The X-Men must endure the unpredictable
behavior of the Danger Room until the virus can be located and eliminated. Once the
virus is eliminated, the X-Men discover that Magneto is behind the computer virus
and the final stage involves a battle with him.
Gambit, Nightcrawler, Wolverine, and Cyclops are available to play. Each character
can jump and use various unlimited weapons (i.e. punch, kick) and a superpower
which had a usefulness limited by a mutant power bar similar to a life meter,
making the player rely more on standard attacks. The mutant power bar would slowly
regenerate when depleted and when switching characters in mid-game, would revert to
the status of the next characters mutant power bar from the last use.
- The four primary characters -
Wolverine: As in other X-Men games, possessed a healing factor that enabled the
character to recover from injury (i.e. replenish the life bar). When utilized
properly, he can jump much higher than everyone else.
Wolverine's mutant ability was the use of his adamantium claws. Keeping the claws
extended reduced Wolverine's mutant power bar. When the mutant power bar was
depleted, Wolverine would go into a "Berserker" rage, slashing wildly and
uncontrollably for a few seconds simultaneously depleting the life bar.
Gambit: Gambit made use of his trademark bo staff as a weapon in the game and also
was one of the better jumpers.
Gambit's mutant ability was his kinetically charged cards but, unlike other games
in which he has appeared, the cards would not launch straight across the screen but
rather "track" the nearest enemy and destroy them, even through walls. Gambit's
ability could be "charged" for additional effect.
Cyclops: Cyclops made use of his optic blast as his ability. As opposed to a screen
long optic beam as one finds in other X-Men games, Cyclops's optic blast could be
bounced off of walls to hit enemies from a safe location. His mutant power could be
charged for an even more powerful blast. This character is also arguably the
highest jumper of the game.
Nightcrawler: Nightcrawler's teleportation ability is made use of to the highest

degree in this game. The character can actually teleport through walls and past
obstacles, giving Nightcrawler the ability to bypass sections of a level the three
other characters cannot. In addition, Nightcrawler could teleport the second
player's character when the two stand together. He had arguably the worst jumping
ability of the games characters, as he had the lowest ascending jump. This is an
ironic twist since out of the four selectable characters, he would really be the
best jumper by a large margin, and is typically a better jumper in other X-Men
video games.
Other X-Men such as Storm, Rogue, Iceman, and Archangel can be called upon for
support. Jean Grey also appears as support to pick up characters that fall. There
are several levels, most having boss fights with familiar X-Men villains.
- Resetting the Computer -
At the time, this game is one of few games which break the 4th wall. Once Mojo is
defeated, the player must "reset the computer" for the Danger Room to stop the
virus being emitted on Mojo's level. However, there are no switches for doing so.
Resetting the computer is meant to be literal, in that the player has to lightly
press the reset button on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis console before the time ran
out. This trick was widely panned by both video game magazine critics and
consumers. Holding down the reset button too long would simply reset the system as
one would normally expect. This also makes the game impossible to complete when
playing on the Sega Nomad, as the portable Sega Mega Drive/Genesis has no reset
button.
Hints:
- Extending the downtime in the Danger Room -

There is a machine in the upper right corner of the Danger Room. Destroying it will
greatly extend the time in between stages.
- Full life -
Enable the ''Level select'' code.Select two-player mode.Hold Down+A+C. Remove the
controller from port one and plug it into port two.Press Start.Select characters,a
starting level,and begin game play.Press Start(2)for full life.
- Level Select -
Hold Down + A + C and then press (or switch) power on the Genesis. With those
buttons held, hold Start when the ''Press Start'' text appears on the opening
screen. Continue to hold the buttons until the difficulty selection screen appears.
Select any difficulty level and character, and walk to the right when the game play
starts. Eight panels representing the eight game levels will appear on the wall.
Crouch in front of a panel and press C to jump to the corresponding level.
Note: This code will not work if a controller is plugged into port two

Developer: Headgames

_________________________
The X-Men engage in a battle so world-threatening, even Magneto switches sides!
Mutantkind races to the edge of oblivion at the hands of an evil techno-bio cloning
organism... the Phalanx! Be Wolverine, Cyclops, Gambit, Nightcrawler, Beast,
Psylocke and for the first time ever... play as Magneto! X-Men are at their
fiercest with Cyclops' optic blast, Wolverine's slashing adamantium claws and
Gambit's hyper-charged cards! Use each mutant's super-powered attack to defend the
world!
Gameplay:
The character lineup for the game includes Beast, Psylocke, Gambit, Cyclops,
Wolverine, and Nightcrawler. Upon defeating the third level, Magneto becomes a
playable character.
Each character has a "mutant power" which can be used in fighting. Some of these
can be charged to a greater effect by holding down the power button, and all of
them are increased in power when the character has nine or ten bars of health. In
addition to these powers, some characters are capable of climbing the walls and
ceiling, or grabbing onto the wall. These powers can be used to reach hidden health
(which is in the shape of a double helix) or as a shortcut. Also, some characters
had attacks that propelled them forward, enabling them to jump further. Finally,
some characters had double jumps, useful for shortcuts. Also, Wolverine could heal
up to three bars of health if he had only one or two bars remaining. This healing
occurs automatically with time, so the player could simply wait until Wolverine
healed before continuing.
Trivia
- This game was innovative in that the player was immediately thrust into the
game; the first level begins as soon as the game loads with a random character,
leading some players to hit the Restart button on the console repeatedly until the
desired character appeared. The first level comprised only one stage, allowing
players to switch out characters after the opening stage. The title screen and
credits roll only after completing the first level. In emulation outside the
Genesis/Megadrive system, the character randomization appears to be non-functional,
with the first level always beginning with Cyclops. FUSION emulates character
randomization.
- The game garnered considerable attention through the introduction of X-Man

villain Magneto as a playable character.
- Oddly enough, the European release of the game reused the same cover art of
X-Men 2: Game Master's Legacy for the Game Gear, a different and unrelated game.
- Some levels featured different soundtrack elements depending on the character

selected,with the basic structure of the level's musical theme remaining the same.

- Fight Phalanx-Magneto in the Last Level -

What you need to do is defeat all the Phalanx X-Men clones except for one. It
doesn\'t matter what order you do it in just so long as all but one are dead. Now,
once you\'ve done that, head back down to the very bottom of the area -- the end of
the hallway where the Phalanx mech\'s claws turned into your character(s). Now, hit
the wall to the left. If you do this, the wall should emit a circle of explosions
which circle around twice and into a sort of close-eyed blank-looking smiley face.
(Looks like this -> -_-) Now, head back up into the second room from the bottom on
the right. This room should have a wall blocking your progression. However, if you
did as I said, if you hit this small wall, it should shatter like glass. Walk into
the room, and there, you will fight Phalanx-Magneto!
Note: This does not effect the ending. It is just a nifty little bonus for those of
you who like to explore.

_________________________
On the terrestrial planet Sephiroth, which is homez to a variety of peaceful and
prosperous advanced societies, an ancient evil has returned. A long time ago, a
warmonger known only as Guardia was banished from the planet, but has finally
returned with an entire space military. The Guardia Military soon invades Sephiroth
and crushes its defenses with its long hardened space technology. Within time, a
space fighter was developed to match the power of the Guardia Military. Based on
Guardia's unknown desire for destruction and it's own might, the ship was named the
XDR: X-Dazedly Ray.
Gameplay:
XDR was incredibly straight-forward: players piloted the titular ship through six

Xenon II: Megablast
Region: Europe
Media: Cartridge
Controller: Gamepad
Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1990
Developer: The Bitmap Brothers
Players: 1
_________________________
A fast action shoot 'em up, Xenon 2 has gorgeous parallax graphics, music by Bomb
The Bass (Megablast) and a wealth of visual imagination to add to the appeal. A
classic from The Bitmap Brothers - big, slick and still one of the best looking
(and sounding) games around.
Gameplay:
Xenon 2 Megablast is a vertically scrolling shoot 'em up. Unusually for the genre,
the player's spaceship can reverse the scrolling of the play area for a limited
distance, which is useful for escaping from dead ends. This game consists of five
levels which are each divided into two sections.
The game has a generic sci-fi theme and almost no plot, focusing instead on
presentation and gameplay. Indeed, it was the quality of the music and graphics
that led to the game's memorability. The graphics bear the trademark "Bitmap
Brothers" appearance, with realistic and detailed renditions of rock and metal
objects. The enemies are various nondescript organic creatures.
The player of Xenon 2 Megablast must rely heavily on power-ups, which may be gained
by shooting power-up containers that appear through the levels. When an enemy or a
wave of enemies are destroyed they leave behind credits in the shape of bubbles.
Small bubbles are worth 50 credits and large bubbles are worth 100. When a mid-
level boss or end of level boss are destroyed, they explode to reveal lots of
credit bubbles. Credits are then spent at a shop owned by Colin The Alien (who
bears a remarkable resemblance to the alien from the film Predator). Power-ups of
various sorts may be bought there. Accumulating power-ups rewards the player with
more heavy-duty firepower. The shop appears mid-level and at the end of the level.
Hints:
- Invincibility -
Begin playing the game and get on the high score screen. Enter ARM as your
initials. Play again and qualify for another high score that is lower than the
previous attempt. Enter OUR as your initials. Then press the Reset button on the

adventures. And just in time...Bizarre tales of monsters and demons wreaking havoc
throughout the Kenai Region reach our heroes. Dogi's hometown of Sarina is in the

mine in the heart of an active volcano and on top of a blizzard swept peak. All the
while uncovering clues to the identity of the malevolent force that is guiding the
evil warriors of the Dark World.
Gameplay:
The gameplay of Ys III is a sharp departure from the previous two games. Instead of
the previously used top-down camera view, Ys III has become a side-scrolling
platform-action styled game. The combat has also changed: the player must push a
button to make Adol swing his sword and attack enemies.
The RPG-style statistics and experience system still exists in Ys III, however. A

Release Year: 1990

Players: 1 to 4 VS
_________________________
Overview:
Using the mouse to determine the direction and strength of your putts, you must
navigate 9 tricky holes of crazy / mini golf. Try to putt into holes protected by
bouncing hamburgers, windmills, etc. Courses have several twists; one is a mad
scientists's lab, another is a pinball table. The final hole is especially bizarre,
themed around energy.
You start with 3 strokes, but get the par for each hole added on, if you reach it
in time - run out of strokes, and your game is over. You can earn bonus strokes by
finding hidden bonuses and by completing courses quickly. Up to 4 players at a time
can take part in this game, with anyone badly over par being eliminated as the game
progresses.
Gameplay:
Zany Golf is a version of mini golf with some features that are impossible in real,
physical mini golf. Zany Golf only consists of half a golf course, i.e. 9 holes,
although there is a bonus hole. The holes are as follows:
1. Windmill Hole (Par 2): The ball has to be shot into a windmill, or slide down
the ramp below, to enter the second area.
2. Hamburger Hole (Par 3): The hole is covered by a bouncing hamburger, reached
by bouncing the ball off a ketchup bottle that squirts.
3. Walls (Par 2): Several walls continuously rise from the ground and fall back
down. Depending on the timing, these can deflect the ball at different distances.
4. Pinball (Par 3): The level begins as a game of pinball, where the player can
hit the ball with the flippers after shooting it.
5. Fans (Par 3): Fans positioned along the level allow blowing the ball in a
different direction.
6. Magic Carpet (Par 2): A special "magic" surface covering most of the level
allows direct mouse control over the ball.
7. Castle (Par 3): The ball has to be shot up a hill, to enter into a castle or
holes outside it, to enter the second area.
8. Ant Hill (Par 3): The hole itself moves.
9. Energy (Par 5): Consists of various contraptions all over the place, with
buttons that activate deadly laser beams, energy blasters, teleporters and suction
tubes. Widely regarded as the most difficult hole by far.
10. ???: This bonus hole is accessed by either completing the entire course under
par (26), or by putting into a secret hole on the Energy level with exact timing.
This level consists of a Breakout-style scenario, followed by a challenge where the
ball must be putted across a checkerboard square, where alternate squares when
rolled over teleport the ball back to the start.

Zero Tolerance
Region: USA
Media: Cartridge
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Shoot 'em Up > First Person
Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1994
Publisher: Accolade
_________________________
The space station Europe-1 has been overrun by aliens. During one of the fights the
nuclear cooling system has been damaged, resulting in a meltdown within hours. Your
mission, as a team of five of the toughest persons in the Corps, is to infiltrate
and gain control of Europe-1. You must sweep the entire station clean of aliens.
Directions:
One of a few first-person-shooters on this console. It is required that you kill

every single alien on each of the levels (hence the name). The five members of your
team, who have different skills, start out with different weapons, are your five
chances of seeing this through. This adds a level of strategy to the game.
Gameplay:
Zero Tolerance is made up of 40 levels spanning three separate areas: the space
station Europe-1, the central command building for the Planet Defense Corps, and
the sub-basement areas of that building. The object of the game is to kill all of
the enemies on a level and then proceed to the exit, which is either a staircase or
elevator leading down to the next level. However, nothing prevents the player from
heading straight towards the exit without killing all of the enemies. If this is
done, the player is simply not given any passwords until the entire area is
finished.
- Weapons and Items -

Zero Tolerance contains a healthy selection of weapons. Each one is different and
offers its own set of pros and cons. During gameplay, additional weapons can be
picked up simply by walking over them as in other first-person shooters. To equip a
weapon, the C button is pressed until the desired weapon is selected from the list
of inventory items at the top of the HUD.
- Hand to Hand Combat

The most basic weapon of the game is your character's own punches and kicks.
Selecting an empty item slot on the HUD and hitting the attack button causes the
character to throw a punch. This can be modified by holding Up or Down on the D-
pad, which will produce either an upper cut or a kick, respectively. Hand to hand
combat is really meant to be a last alternative in the game.
- Pistol
The pistol offers you a basic projectile weapon. Ammo for it is plentiful,
although it is weaker than other weapons.
- Shotgun
This weapon offers the advantage of increased power and easier aiming on the
player's part. Like the pistol, ammo for the shotgun is easily found throughout the
game.
- Flame thrower
Useful in creating a wall of fire that can stop a wave of enemies. There are a
few drawbacks with the flame thrower, however. First, the ammo supply tends to be
drained quickly, and flame throwers aren't as common in the game as other weaponry.
On top of this, it is difficult to aim with this weapon.
- Pulse Laser
The pulse laser is a cross between a rifle and a laser gun. It fires invisible
laser bolts in short bursts. The advantage of this weapon is that it is extremely
effective against boss enemies. Unfortunately, it is not a common item in the game.
- Grenades
Much like their real-life counterparts, grenades are explosive devices which
are thrown at enemies. They have a splash damage effect and are useful for clearing
out smaller rooms.
- Rocket launcher
Fires an explosive missile. Like the grenades, these missiles also have a
splash damage effect.
- Laser Aimed Gun

This is essentially an automatic pistol with a laser sight attached to it. It
fires in short bursts rather than a single shot. Although it does not appear in the
first area of the game, it is quite common in the second and third areas.
- Mine
This explosive weapon is difficult to find on the game but can prove very
useful if being chased by multiple enemies. A mine can be left anywhere on the
floor and will be detonated whenever an enemy walks over it. Like the granades and
rocket launcher each mine has a certain amount of splash damage which is useful for
clearing groups.
- Medi-Pack
This item restores the health of the player when damage is taken from enemies.
It's effectiveness can be based on the particular skills of the character chosen by
the player.
- Bullet-Proof Vest
Every so often a player may come across a bullet-proof vest. This item will
shield the player from damage from enemies but only for 10 hits. It cannot be
replenished by a medi-pack.
- Bio-Scanner
This item will allow players to see all the enemies on the radar without having
to actually trigger their attack. This can be very useful for tight corridors where
the player will be able to tell how many enemies are waiting ahead and where.
However, this item does have a limited battery-life.
- Night Vision Goggles

On some levels of Zero Tolerance the distance of the map can appear misty and
gray reducing vision into the distance. When a player picks up night vision
goggles, this effect will be reduced. The view goes from full colour to green and
black, and enemies can be seen more clearly at greater distances. However, this
item has a limited battery life.
- Torch
Again, on some levels the distance of the map may appear dark and black.
However, with the torch equipped the distance seen is increased, making it easier
to spot enemies further away. However, this item does have a limited battery life.
- Fire Extinguisher
Areas on Zero Tolerance are sometimes blocked off by fire, when equipped the
fire extinguisher can clear a path through the fire. Also note that when a player
comes into contract with fire it will drain health regardless of whether or not the
player has the Bullet-Proof Vest equipped.

Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1991
Developer: Toaplan
Publisher: Toaplan
Players: 1
_________________________
Cats, the leader of a band of swashbuckling space pirates, is terrorizing the
galaxy. You must pilot the only remaining Milky Way attack craft into combat and
stop Cats and his buccaneers!
Gameplay:
As with other scrolling shooters, the aim of the game is to shoot all enemies that
appear on screen and avoid getting obliterated by lasers, crashing into enemies or
into foreground scenery. There are mid-level and end-of-level boss enemies that
stay with the player until they are defeated.
The player, a "ZIG" star fighter, has several ways to attack:
- Using the main cannon: scatter-shot (red weapon), lasers (blue weapon), or
homing missiles (green weapon). Similar to configuring the Vic Viper in Gradius
- Ramming smaller enemies with the orbital cannons that appear above and below
the ZIG. These cannons fire whatever weapon is equipped on the main ship at the
time.
- Grabbing an enemy using the tractor beam and releasing it at another enemy,
similar to the Kirby games.
- Releasing the spherical front shield once it is collected, like in R-Type.
Soon after starting, the player encounters power-up ships. If destroyed, they leave
behind power-ups. These run in the sequence of red weapon, blue weapon, green
weapon, and speed-up, and then start with red again. There is also an occasional
shield power-up, which attaches to the front of the ship. Once the first weapon
power-up is collected, two small ships appear above and below the ZIG, and follow
its exact movements. These extra ships are impervious and can be used as shields.
As they occasionally move nearer the ZIG when blocked by large enemies or
foreground scenery, they can serve as a warning to the player that they should move
carefully to avoid a collision.
Each of the three main weapons has three power levels. Each time the same weapon is
collected, the power level increases. If a different weapon is collected, it starts
back on level 1 power, unless level 3 power was already attained previously. If you
have a spherical front shield while you're already holding one, a special power-up
will replace it which increase all weapons to a special, otherwise unattainable,
level 4. Another way to obtain level 4 is if you're already carrying a bomb and
detonate an object that would yield another bomb power up. In the intro scenes, the
ZIG's windows are green. In the game itself, the windows change color depending on
what weapon the player has.
Trivia:
"All your base are belong to us"
In the Sega Mega Drive version, to expand on the game's plot, an introductory cut
scene was added to the game. This introductory scene was translated to English from
Japanese rather poorly for the European release, because of the European version
being rushed,[citation needed] resulting in dialogue such as "Somebody set up us
the bomb", "All your base are belong to us" (often shortened to "All Your Base",
"AYBABTU", or simply "AYB"), and "You have no chance of survive make your time."
The introduction does not appear in the arcade version.
In 1999, Zero Wing's introduction was re-discovered, culminating in the wildly

popular "All your base are belong to us" memetic phenomenon. This also popularized
the introductory and Level 3 background music by Tatsuya Uemura.[citation needed]
The console version of Zero Wing was never released in North America for the Turbo
Grafx (PC Engine) or Sega Genesis (Mega Drive) due to the release of the arcade
version distributed by Williams Electronics, which lacks the AYB intro. However,
the European Mega Drive version of the game will play on American consoles due to a
lack of region protection.
Hints:
- Alternative Endings -
There are three different endings depending on how many times you beat this game
non-stop. No such thing as Expert Mode. Only Easy and Normal(Hard). Beat the game
and your back at NATOLS, keep going for more endings.

Zombies Ate My Neighbors
Region: USA
Media: Cartridge
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Shoot 'em Up > Run 'n Gun
Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1993
Developer: LucasArts
Publisher: Konami
Players: 1
_________________________
In the game you are a male or female protagonist (Zeke or Julia), fighting the
vampires, mummies, zombies, etc. on over 50 levels (not including secrets) and
saving all of the people you find. There are defined number of neighbors you save
on every level. When they are free then "Exit" door opens and you jump on next
level.
The levels differ from mall and grocery store to beaches and football fields. Using
different weapons such as bazooka or water gun you have to kill the bosses such as
huge babies, dragons or ants at the end of levels. You can play the game with two
players cooperatively
Gameplay:
The player chooses between two teenage characters, Zeke and Julie, or both in two-
player mode. They navigate suburban neighborhoods, shopping malls, pyramids, and
other areas, destroying a variety of horror-movie monsters, including vampires,
werewolves, huge demonic babies, and the game's flagship, zombies. In each of the
48 stages (excluding the bonus levels) the goal is to rescue the surviving
neighbors, at which point a magical door opens that will take the player to the
next stage. However, if the player is not careful, any enemy in the game will kill
the neighbors, preventing them from being saved. At least one neighbor must be
saved from each level to progress to the next. The game is lost if all of the
neighbors in a certain stage are killed or if the player(s) lose all of their
lives. Scoring points earns players more neighbors to save (but only up to the
maximum of 10) and extra lives.
Each level has a maximum of ten neighbors. If they all die without the player
saving at least one throughout the stage, the game is over. The neighbors are saved
by touching them. Each neighbor is worth a certain amount of points.
Trivia:
- In the Game -
The monsters in the game are based on horror movies made in the 1950s as well as
more modern movies such as Friday the 13th or The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. For
example, the man with the chainsaw is based on Jason and Leatherface respectively.
The weapons usefulness is also based on these depictions, such that werewolfs die
in one attack if attacked with silverware, or vampires die faster if attacked with
the crucifix. The crucifix is the most powerful weapon and Pandora's Box is the
most powerful special item. In the SNES version of the game, there is a flame
thrower which is not incuded in the uncensored Sega Megadrive version.
There is an extra level in which the character is permited to walk around Lucas
Arts and talk to the staff responsible for the game.
- Censorship -
Due to the theme of the game, it was subject to some censorship. This game was
released before the ESRB came along and before then, Nintendo did not want anything
violent in their video games such as blood and gore. Nintendo of America itself
ordered all depictions of red blood and gore be removed or changed to green ooze.
Censorship committees at several European Nations, i.e. United Kingdom, Italy,
France and Germany had the game renamed to just: 'Zombies' and ordered other
changes, including making the chainsaw-wielding lunatics replaced with lumberjacks
with axes.

Region: USA

Genre: Platformer
Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1993
Publisher: GameTek
Players: 1
_________________________
Once every year, the games world is rocked by a game so stunning, so fast, so
colorful, so big, so demanding, so mega, so awesome, so varied , so incredible, and
so full of fabulous features and unexpected treats, that everybody just looks at it
and says "THAT'S IT!" This year, ZOOL, THE NINJA FROM THE Nth DIMENSION, is
definitely "IT!"
Gameplay:
Zool is a "Ninja Of The "Nth" Dimension" who is forced to land on Earth. In order
to gain ninja ranking he has to pass six lands. Gremlin has asserted that the name
"Zool" did not refer to the supernatural entity Zuul from the film Ghostbusters.
The game is a pure arcade platform game, relying on smooth, fast moving gameplay,
colorful graphics and a popular soundtrack by Patrick Phelan which overlaps with
the Lotus 3 soundtrack and has inspired several modern electro/techno remixes. The
game also contains a number of embedded minigames, including several arcade games,
a scrolling space shooter and a game accessible only by making Zool play a certain
tune on an in-game piano.
Zool was also ported to the Atari ST, Game Boy, Sega Mega Drive, SNES, Master
System, Sega Game Gear, Amiga CD32, PC, Acorn Archimedes and Jaguar. A Zool coin-op
was released in 1993 to cash in on the hype surrounding the Amiga release, but was
not well distributed and is now not widely remembered. Zool was also ported to the
RISC OS platform.
Reviews for the Amiga version of the game were extremely positive, possibly partly
because the need was felt for the Amiga to have a flagship game to rival Sonic.
However some criticism was aimed at the blatant and pervasive product placement in
the game for lollipop company Chupa Chups, in the first three levels (known as
'Sweet Zone'). Another frequent criticism of the game was that it was excessively
difficult. Some contemporary reviewers complained of not being able to get further
than the second level (Music Zone).

The player controls a character named Zoomer, who is constantly moving. Various
monsters will appear in the levels. Some chase the player while others do other
things such as erasing the lines the player has filled. Zoomer can shoot a ball
from the back which can knock monsters backwards upon being struck by it.
Several items appear randomly in levels. Some of which simply add points while
others may slow down monsters, render the player invincible, or even instantly
clear the level.

_________________________
WHY ARE YOU WASTING TIME READING THE BOX WHEN YOU COULD BE PLAYING THE GAME?! Right
here inside this little box is the excitement you crave, the challenge you need.
Level after level of brain-burning action coming at you from all sides, faster and
faster until your thumbs are numb, your eyes are aching and your mind is molten.
And there's only ONE thing you know... "I can't stop playing this game!"
Gameplay:
The player controls a triangle in the center of the screen. Every second (or more
often in advanced levels), a piece comes in from the side and possibly pushes other
pieces forward. Two consecutive pieces will never come in from the same quadrant,
and runs of consecutive identical pieces on one row are longer than one might think
statistically.
If a piece falls into the center square, the game is over.
If the player shoots a piece of the same color as their triangle, it will be
"zooped" (cleared) and points are earned. If the piece behind the target piece is
also of the same color, it is also "zooped." The same goes for the next piece, and
so on. In the example Image:Zoop genesis.jpg, shooting to the left of the position
in the screenshot will "zoop" the green pieces and return the player to the center,
facing right (the opposite direction).
If a piece of a different color than the player's current piece is shot, the
player's piece will switch colors with it. This is also what happens when a piece
of a different color is encountered after zooping one or more pieces of the same
color. In the example, shooting down would bounce off the orange piece (leaving a
green piece behind), and return with the orange piece.
When the quota of "zooped" pieces is met, the game speeds up and (before level 10)
the background changes.
Various special pieces do different things:
- A proximity bomb (shaped like a lightning bolt) blows up pieces in a 3-3 area
centered at the target piece.
- A line bomb (often shaped like a gear) clears a whole target line of pieces.
- A color bomb (often shaped like a paint splotch) clears all the pieces in a
quadrant that match the target piece.
- Collect five spring pieces to clear the whole screen.
- If a piece is pushed right next to the center square, it immediately

disappears. In this way, the player may not lose because of a powerup entering the
middle square.
- Points -
Generally speaking, every cleared piece is worth 100 points. In the case of zooping
more than one piece at once, each piece is worth 100 points more than the piece
before it. For example, zooping 3 pieces results in 100 + 200 + 300 = 600 points.
In addition, if a row is full (one more piece being added will cause a loss of
game) and all the pieces are of the same color, zooping the row earns a bonus of
5,000 points for the smaller rows on the top and bottom, and 10,000 for the rows on
the left and right. All pieces cleared as a result of any of the four powerup items
are worth 100 points.
- Opti-Challenge -
To make matters even more difficult, the game also employed what was referred to as
"opti-challenge" backgrounds. As the game progressed, the backgrounds would become
increasingly distracting. Early on, this would involve the use of contrasting
colours, and increasingly intricate colour schemes. Background patterns would also
become more intricate and would make subtle use of asymmetrical elements.
Ultimately, the background on level 9 employed black and white tiles, roughly the
size of the invading pieces, while the center square contained a picture of clouds,
which expanded to fill the screen on levels 10 and later. Although the opti-
challenge element of the game was used as a selling point, very little information
exists about the technique itself, and no other game on the market has ever openly
claimed to use opti-challenge graphics.
- Sound and music -

The MS-DOS version of the game supports various sound cards, and features
wavetable-like MIDI music. The sound effects have a cartoonish tone to match the
vivid colors used through the stages. The music is basically jazz, and "evolves"
with the game. The title and options screens, and the first stages, feature "smooth
jazz" tunes. As the levels get harder, the music gets more and more tense, adding
to the fast-paced atmosphere of the game.

If anything, Darxide is nothing more than that humble fossil, regenerated with
rough three dimensional graphics and some rather horrific camera control. Although,
it shares many characteristics with the far superior Star Wars Arcade 32X, it does
everything horribly wrong.
The fact that Darxide's very own mechanistic flaws in its gameplay, combined with
tasks that people had got bored with in the mid-eighties is sure certification of
why the 32X died. However, despite the fact that the game is so macabre, it still
manages to go for hundreds of dollars online! If you're a budding 32X collector and
have just spent your pension on Darxide, then I all I can do is point and laugh!

Knuckles Chaotix is a spin-off of the Sonic the Hedgehog series of Genesis games.
The starring character in this title is Knuckles the Echidna, who first appeared in
Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Knuckles works at Carnival Island, an amusement park.
It's his job to protect the park and make it a happy place for visitors. Dr.
Robotnik, as usual, has an evil plan for the park. He wants the power emerald which
supplies electricity to the entire island. What's worse, he has imprisoned several
of Knuckles' friends in the "combi confiner." This contraption only allows Knuckles
to free one of his friends at a time be attaching a tether between himself and
them. Therefore, when you play the game you are always attached to another
character.
Although the basic gameplay of Knuckles Chaotix is similar to the Sonic games, the
bungee cord between the two characters creates new challenges. The new characters
that appear are Vector the Crocodile, Mighty the Armadillo, Espio the Chameleon and
Charmy Bee. There also two characters whose sole purpose is to slow you down, Heavy
the Robot, and Bomb. Chaotix adds several new power-ups and 3D bonus levels as
well.
Hints:
- Wireframe Special Stage -
After completing all special stages and getting all Chaos Rings, you will begin at
the first stage, and then on they will all be wireframes. Completing the wireframe
special stage gives you a big point bonus
- Change Music Speed -

At the Sound Test, use X and Y to choose between Stereo or Mono, instead of the
normal selection buttons. This will cause the music to be at a different speed than
usual.
- Move Characters Anywhere in Level-

With the Stage Select mode enabled, choose any stage you want. Next, pause the
game. You'll notice a little X/Y location guide in a black box has appeared on
screen. Just push any direction on the D-Pad to move your characters anywhere.
Holding A, B, or C will move said characters faster.
- Warp to the End of the Game -

Choose ''World Enterence,'' then set the Level to 1. Press Start. This will put you
directly at the Metal Sonic rotation screen with all five zones complete.
Choose ''World Enterence,'' then set the Level to 2. Press Start. You warp straight
to Metallix, even though he's a little on the glitchy side.
- View Bad Ending -

Choose ''Not Used'', then set the Level to 0. Press Start. This plunks you directly

Players: 1 or 2 VS
_________________________
This game lets you play two-on-two arcade basketball with players from all the NBA
teams. Gameplay is fast and action-packed, with few rules, no fouls, and
deliberately unrealistic jamming. Players are rated on eight ability categories,
from steals and blocks, to dunks and 3-pointers.
Up to four human players can take part, each always controlling a single player for
their team, and AI for missing players. This allows for four players to face each
other in teams of two, or for two players to team up against a third player with a
CPU team-mate.
The Tournament Edition ups each team's roster to three players, and allows for
substitutions between quarters. Shoving players now results in injuries, which
lower a player's stats; encouraging you to sub them out and let them recover. Aside
from the usual secret characters and cheat modes, the T.E. also includes four new
additions you can individually enable from the special options menu:
- "Hot Spots" are randomized zones on the court that reward extra points (up to a
9-point shot!) for making a basket while standing within them.
- Powerup icons appear randomly, and convey temporary arcade-like benefits when
picked up. Some examples are instant "on-fire," enhanced 3-point accuracy, monster
dunks from anywhere on the court, or a bomb that knocks all other players to the

In this particular title, you've got several different teams that made up the 1995
Major League Baseball team roster with all of the same players. The gaming modes
are pretty limited, but there is enough here that most baseball game fans will
probably enjoy what it has to offer.
Gameplay:
The game play is simple, as with most baseball games in which you select one team
from a roster of several in two different regions. What this game does offer, is
the team rosters from the 1995 baseball season and you'll have plenty of games to
play, but you'll be playing them all on a password basis.
Once you've really gotten into the game, you'll need to simply get through the nine
innings while keeping your score well above what the computer has and that is where
the game play pretty much ends. The menu system that you have is easy enough to
work with and if you have played these types of games before, then there is nothing
too extravagant here that will confuse you if you're a veteran or a beginner.

One of the most anticipated events during Rhythma's annual music festival is the
Major Minor Show. It is held by Major Minor himself, the land's Dance Master and
presenter of the Major Minor Trophy. The favorites to win this esteemed prize are
Tempo, a hip grasshopper, and his closest pal Katy. Yet it won't be as easy as many
would believe...
King Dirge has set aside some room on his shelf for the prize, and he's not the one
to move things around without getting what he wants. So the evil one has dispersed
members of his own production company, Mussi Productions, to stop Tempo and Katy
from winning the dance trophy. Now the grasshopper must survive through seven
stages of platforming action to show he's got the moves and rhythm to win the
contest.
Find musical items such as notes, CDs, LPs, cassette tapes, headphones and more to
power-up Tempo's moves. The grasshopper has the ability to perform "snap attacks,"
which involve firing musical notes to stun enemies. He can then finish them off
with a few of his special kicks, including wall kicks, back kicks and sliding
kicks. Tempo's friend Katy can also join in on the action whenever he steps over a
"dance" icon.
The goal is to progress through each stage until you run across one of King Dirge's
henchmen. Tempo can also play one of three bonus games in between levels, but each
costs a certain amount of gold coins (found on each stage). The bonus rounds
include "Tasty Vittle Session," where you try to steal as many slices of pizza as
you can before getting caught by the owner; "Goin' Pearlin," which has you surfing
and earning points for poses; and "Just Hackin' Away," where you get to split logs
or rocks with your deadly moves.
As you might expect from the land of Rhythma, you'll be treated to many different
styles of music (rock, rap and funk) in QSound audio. Tempo begins the game with a
certain amount of strength, which can either be replenished by collecting notes or
increased by finding headphones. Whenever Tempo suffers damage to his strength,
you'll know it -- the music will change its tempo! The game also features three
difficulty levels and a password system to continue progress.

Release Year: 1995
Publisher: Front Street Publishing
_________________________
Not to be confused with other virtual pet games that simulate the Hamster owning
experience (e.g. Ubisoft's Hamsterz Life and Petz: Hamsterz 2), Virtua Hamster was
a Sega Genesis 32X game that had players guiding rocket-powered hamster test pilots
on mini skateboards around a maze of tubes, collecting stolen blueprints in a mad
scientist's laboratory.
According to pre-production design documents posted by former Sega game designer

Eric Quakenbush, Virtua Hamster was meant to have "the look and fast paced action
of Virtua Racing and Virtua Fighter combined with an amusing puzzle strategy game
and an unlikely group of heroes and enemies."
Unfortunately, the game was never released (planned for 1995), presumably due to
the 32X add-on's unpopularity. Quakenbush said a British company picked up the
title for a possible PC release after Sega cancelled the project, but that also
never made it to market.
Other intriguing Virtua Hamster characters that serve as opponents seeking to

hinder test pilot:
A Kangaroo Rat with an Australian 'out-back' style rocket
A Mole or shrew that lurks around like Peter Lorrie
An armored, Armadillo-like, rodent from Brazil that chants soccer crowd anthems and
yells "Goooaaal!" when he makes a point against another player
A Pack-Rat who will grab any object he comes across and stuff into one of his many
pockets
And a pack of alley rats with black leather and chrome rockets

World Series Baseball 95 was released in mid-to-late 1993 for the Sega Genesis. WSB
95 was developed and published by Sega Sports. WSB 95 is the sequel tp one of the
most revolutionary baseball games during the 16-bit era, and throughout gaming
history as well. Its unique, close-up batter's box perspective added a layer of
realism that had never been attempted, let alone seen in any baseball game. Here's
the deal, the game's camera was placed directly behind an amazingly detailed
character model, so much so that the character model filled up the screen
vertically. All of the batter's animation was done in this perspective, and all of
his animations were smooth. All of these things were retained, and improved upon,
in the sequel.
The graphics were revolutionary, the batter's box perspective had never been done
this well before, and in my honest opinion, I don't think it's been done this well
since. This unique perspective gives the game a look and feel all its own. The
batter's box isn't the only notable graphical highlight. The animation for pitchers
is smooth as silk as well. Every single animation for a pitcher is done to
perfection, none of the pitches look identical, which was a pretty big deal at the
time of the game's release.
The outfield graphics are great, every animation in the game is as smooth as you
could possibly expect. The game's environments, namely the stadium and the field
itself, look outstanding. The stadiums all have unique features that will allow you
to tell which stadium is which. More detail has been added to each stadium. The
field looks amazing, there is a subtle change in the color of the field, just like
real life. This is the most aesthetically pleasing baseball game I've ever had the
privilege of playing.

_________________________
Here you have our second release. Impressive, eh? It's X-Men for the 32X, also
known in later stages as X-Men: Mind Games. Although this is quite an elusive game
concerning unreleased titles for the 32X, we can say for sure it has a lot to
offer.
For starters, development of this game was assigned to Scavenger, who owned some
studios (like Zyrinx and Lemon) featuring many former Amiga demoscene developers,
known for their high-tech profile and their enthusiasm into pushing systems to
their limits.
This X-Men adventure with beat 'em up-esque gameplay is a 3D game with stunning
visuals for its time, probably redefining a new age of titles for the Mega Drive
add-on.
This prototype is quite early, basically something of a tech-demo which allows

selecting and playing a couple levels from a concept title screen. These levels
feature several playable areas -some of them having no enemies at all- and a single
playable character, Bishop.
There's also a debug camera function in this build, switched by pressing the START
button. Using this camera, you can explore the whole levels and even glitching the
game if you do what you shouldn't.
With this proto we have a great playable sketch of a game that could have probably
surpassed our expectations, having been finished and released, that is. This is a
great showcase for both the 32X and the Scavenger studios.
Enjoy!
IMPORTANT NOTICE
This prototype, at the moment of its public release, is only working on real
hardware, specifically set up to American region (regional lockout is displayed in
both Japanese and PAL regions). We couldn't find any emulator able to reproduce the
particular 3D engine used by this game. It boots and shows its concept title
screen, and when you choose a level you even listen its corresponding music, but
absolutely nothing is displayed on screen, turning this to be unplayable on
emulators.
We hope there will be many people behind the emulation scene pushing their efforts
into making this game compatible with their emulators in upcoming revisions, so the
game can be finally emulated. Until them, we'll have to play it on our 32X systems.

This 32X-exclusive sci-fi shooter has gameplay is somewhat like Sega arcade classic

pseudo 3D environment. The backgrounds are drawn using 2D scrolling planes, but the
enemy and ship objects are drawn using 3D flat-shaded polygons.
Although the basic goal of each of the 9 levels is to shoot everything without
getting shot, the game has a strategic element. Your basic spacecraft has very
little firepower, and can only sustain one hit. To make matters worse, there are
very few power-ups. In order to survive, you have to jump on top of enemies and
take control of their weapons systems. This system allows for a large variety of
player-controllable ships.

Developer: Opera House
Publisher: SEGA
Players: 1
_________________________
Let's face it, the Sega CD is not exactly known for its grand selection of RPGs.
U.S. releases are slim pickings, so when it gets one bearing the legendary license
of Dungeons & Dragons, gamers take notice. As well they should, because Eye of the
Beholder is one of the best available on the system, as well as one of the better
RPGs of the 16-bit generation. It's also one of the more overlooked, which is
unfortunate, since most people tend to compare it to the inferior SNES version.
A port of the popular DOS-PC game from FCI, Eye of the Beholder continues a long-
standing series of Dungeons & Dragons games that have been developed over the years
on numerous consoles. Taking advantage of the CD format, it plays, looks, and
sounds leagues ahead than its cartridge and floppy disc cousins, making it the best
version by far.
EotB's story is pure D&D. Heroes must venture below the city of Waterdeep (yes,
Waterdeep) and destroy the evil Beholder. The story is developed through pretty cut
scenes that occur periodically during important events, and both novice and
seasoned players will be able to get right into the story. The character
interaction is non-existent though, so don't expect to get too attached to any
particular character. You get to create four characters from a number of races and
classes, and later on up to two NPCs (non-player characters) can join, but they
never interact.
There isn't much eye candy in this one, so those looking for a graphically
incredible experience are going to go away a bit disappointed. Remember, this game
was originally released for the DOS-PC, so it's not going to set the world on fire.
For example, the actual game window is kind of small and the action moves kind of
framey. The colors are your typical Genesis fare, although the soft earth tones of
the game are easy on the eye. The dungeon levels each sport their own color, and it
seems to fit. I especially liked the level with the Drow guards, its purplish hue
went right with the action. Players of the paper D&D games will know what I mean
without even having to play the game. The enemies are nicely drawn and are very
accurate to their paper RPG counterparts. Needless to say I was eager to make sure
that everything here was accurately represented.
If you've played EotB on the SNES, you're probably concerned about the gameplay,
and truth be told, this is the part where many people simply walk away from this
game without realizing that they have options. For example, if you have the Mega
Mouse, then you can play EotB just like the PC version, using directional icons for
moving. Sadly, this doesn't work at all on the Genesis pad. What many people don't
know is that by going to the options screen in-game and choosing mode two, you can
use the D-pad to move normally by pressing start! When you want to move the icon
around the screen, simply press start again. This little known fact has made many
people miss out on this wonderful RPG.
The gameplay isn't the only surprise you'll find here. Did you know that Eye of the
Beholder was scored by the legendary Yuzo Koshiro? I never thought that I could
play an RPG to techno tunes, but the music is an absolute joy. Crystal-clear and
well composed, it enhances the action greatly and is OST-worthy, in my opinion.
Fortunately, the audio is all red book, so you can burn your own custom soundtrack.
Crank it up!
The sound effects are nice too. Old doors creak open and arrows shot at walls clank
when they hit, like they should. The voice acting needs a little work though. It
sounds a tad scripted and lifeless for my tastes. Nevertheless, sprinkled
throughout the game (along with some nice cut scenes), it adds to the package, and
helps move the story along well enough.
To be frank, anyone with a Sega CD should track down a copy of this game. I got
mine a K-Mart for under $5 and I have played it to death. RPG and Sega CD fans have
a nice little game here that will keep them occupied for at least 20-25 hours. I
enjoyed Eye of the Beholder very, very much and can't recommend it enough. If you
can get past the dated graphics and sometimes stiff gameplay, you've got yourself a
game!

_________________________
Holy joysticks Batman! This game is really hard! The Adventures of Batman and Robin
for the Sega CD is unlike its Genesis counterpart. Instead of a walk along
beat-'em-up, this game finds Batman behind the wheel of the Batmobile as he takes
to the streets to find the missing Commissioner Gordon and his trusty sidekick,
Robin. Pushing the Sega CD to produce some great scaling effects, Adventures was
quite impressive for its time. On top of that, the animators and writers of the
show made an exclusive episode of the animated series to be spliced into this game
as in between level cut scenes! This Batman game has a few great things going for
it, but does it ultimately run out of gas due to some difficulty issues?
The game's story features a few of the key villains from the series, Poison Ivy,
the Riddler, and everyone's favorite Joker. To show off the Sega CD's power, Batman
takes the Batmobile out for a spin to catch these evil doers with very nice scaling
effects. There are a total of six levels, each one having multiple parts. In most
levels, Batman must either race to the finish before the time limit runs out or
destroy all the enemies. In the sixth and final level, Batman takes to the sky in
the Batwing. The back of the game case says that Adventures is two games in one,
but you only get to use the Batwing for one level, so that's a bit of a stretch
really.
The Batmobile isn't the smoothest to control, and I would have liked it to move a
little more fluidly. This is especially an issue when the roads become so congested
that lightning quick reflexes are a must to win. There are some power ups scattered
across the roads to help Batman reach his goals though. Along with his standard
missiles with the C button, he can collect bombs to fire with the A button to do
serious damage to his foes. He can also find lightening bolt shaped boost icons,
that will increase the Batmobile's speed for a limited time. I love getting the
boosts, when the Batmobile soars down the streets of Gotham at insane speeds
dodging obstacles and blasting away villains, the game is actually very fun. These
boost items are necessary to finishing the levels, if you don't use them, there's
practically no way the Batmobile can reach the end of the level in time.
The graphics are all very nice, from the in-game sprites to the amazing animated
cut scenes. These are some of the best looking animated scenes I've seen my Sega CD
produce. The animation, while a little grainy, looks very crisp, and is presented
in a widescreen like format. It is not confined to a tiny little box on screen,
like some Sega CD titles. There are also nice graphical touches throughout the
game, such as some of the Riddler's toys that bounce right at you and the scaling
used on these sprites is quite good.
Musically, Adventures is rather forgettable. The few tracks there are fit the mood
of the Batman series, but the tunes aren't the type to stay with me after I'm
finished playing; however, in the animated scenes, the characters retain their
voice actors from the cartoon, so that is a definite plus for the fans. All of the
sounds are as they should be, such as the Batmobile revving up in a boost, and
explosions blasting and booming away as Batman races into the night.
So, Adventures has a lot of great points! But there's one major drawback: it's just
way too hard for it's own good! The first three levels aren't too bad once you get
a hang of the controls, but levels 4 and 5 (Riddler's virtual reality racing and
the Joker's multiple laps of bumper cars) are extremely challenging. More often
then not, it's really hard to avoid all of the obstacles of the road, and so the
Batmobile will either blow up from getting hurt too much, or you will simply run
out of time. To be fair, I did feel a great sense of satisfaction after beating
some of these levels, especially since I was rewarded with such wonderful cut
scenes. With only six levels, the game isn't really that long. But I guarantee that
most players will not be able to beat some of these levels on their first try, they
are just that hard!
I think the Adventures of Batman and Robin would have greatly benefited with a
series of options to make it more suitable to players of different skills. In fact,
there are no options at all, and all you can do at the title screen is press start
to be immediately thrust into the game. Thankfully, there is a button code that can
be pressed to skip levels and go directly to the next cut scene, so fans should not
worry about missing these scenes if they find they can't beat this hard game. Oddly
enough, the ending was sort of anti-climatic, and very short compared to some of
the lengthier scenes.
Sega CD fans looking for a challenging game would do well to pick this one up. From
what I'm told, the PAL version can fetch a rather hefty price, and I can't really
justify such a high price for a somewhat short and very difficult game. For
determined players, the difficulty will have you coming back for more, but for
those easily discouraged, this one will probably make you pull your hair (or bat
ears) out in anger. If you can find this one for a fair price, I highly recommend
it! Just be ready to face Batman's greatest villain to date: tougher than nails
gameplay!

[CD - ADVENTURES OF WILLY BEAMISH]

Adventures of Willy Beamish
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc

Genre: Adventure > Graphic
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1993
Developer: Infinite Laser Dog
Publisher: Dynamix
Players: 1
_________________________
Remember when you were a kid and wanted something so badly, you were prepared to
doing anything to get it? Nothing was considered off limits, and the end justified
the means. Such narrow-minded focus usually ended in tragedy, with one or more
family members burned or maimed, as well as several thousand dollars in property
damage. Well, perhaps our youth was a bit different, but that's more or less the
way things went for Willy Beamish.
Another in the long line of Sierra graphic adventures, The Adventures of Willy
Beamish replaced the standard futuristic world-saving setting with a more down-to-
Earth scenario: that of a young preteen doing everything in his power for a chance
to compete in the Nintari (his favorite console) championship. It's the last day of
class, and all young Willy has to do is make it to three o'clock. Unfortunately for
him, his pet frog steals the principal's toupee during the morning assembly,
earning him an afternoon in detention.
Plenty of mayhem ensues from this point on, as Willy strives to get the key to his
Nintari back after being punished for a mediocre report card. When he's not being
tormented by his little sister, he's stopping Leona Humpford - the town villain -
from poisoning the river to make her new perfume.
I can more or less sum up Willy Beamish in two words: too short. There's just so
much to do, so much going on, that it all blazes by you far too quickly. Just
consider some of the things that happen: the babysitter is a vampire, you have to
avoid the class bully, there are tourists that transform into ninjas, and your dad
just lost his job. Did I mention that the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation
makes an appearance?
That's just part of the overall charm that defines this game. As with other graphic
adventures, the choices you make determine how the plot develops. For example,
should you decide to ride out your detention, you'll get home too late to stop your
dad from reading your report card. Forge a hall pass and you'll escape, but you
still have to get past the janitor and bully! In another instance, Willy takes his
younger sister outside to push her on the swings. Do you comply with her wishes to
go higher, or do you decide to be cautious and spare her from injury? The choice is
yours, and the results can be absolutely hilarious.
It's not all about being nasty though. Get into too much mischief and your "trouble
meter" will begin to rise. If it should max out, it's off to military school with
you, complete with buzz cut and everything! Sometimes, you'll just have to be nice
in order to get what you want, but there are plenty of opportunities to be a wise-
cracking nine year-old.
All in all, this is still a pretty good package for a game that made its debut over
fourteen years ago. The hand-drawn animation does a great job of mimicking
cartoons, which is a nice change of pace from previous Sierra/Dynamix releases.
Everything is very detailed and strives admirably to overcome the limited color
palate of the Genesis/Sega CD combo. The voice acting, a key component that was one
of the big enhancements over the PC original, rounds out the package to create a
believable and charming world.
We may have gotten something of an upgraded version, but PC gamers got the better
packaging. Adventures shipped with several manuals, including Willy's notebook,
which contained hints and doodles. The actual tech manual is on the back of a pizza
menu! Even cooler, the game included an offer where you could send off for a free
Willy Watch!
Almost as seamless as the presentation, the gameplay works just as well. With only
three buttons to use, navigation is a simple practice of accessing Willy's backpack
and choosing an item. Whatever doesn't work puts the item at the bottom of the
screen, where you can try to use it on something else. Things around you that can
be picked up are highlighted by a red arrow, people can be talked to via dialogue
bubbles, and anything worth investigating is transparent through Willy's magnifying
glass. You're on the clock, so it's important to make wise decisions or else you
might miss a key event. It never becomes too much, however, and you'll quickly
learn to manage your time.
If there is one thing to gripe about with Adventures of Willy Beamish, it has to be
the same thing that plagues many other Sega CD games -the load times. They're
especially severe here sometimes, and Dynamix even included a small, rotating
bubble icon to entertain you while the game loads. To be honest, it's nothing you
probably haven't experienced already, and I'm willing to let it slide since this
was one of the earlier releases for the system.
In essence, what you have here is another of the Sega CD's stellar digital comics.
I've only been let down by Space Adventure, and that was only after coming off
playing Snatcher and Rise of the Dragon. Dynamix had this genre down to a science,
and we are lucky to have so many of their classics available to play here. The
humor may be a bit dated, and some jokes may be over the heads of some younger
gamers, but almost everything else is still as wonderful today as when the game was
first released.

[CD - AFTER BURNER III]

After Burner III
Region: USA

Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1992
Developer: CRI
Publisher: SEGA
Players: 1
_________________________
You'd think that after a game establishes itself as one of the company's biggest
arcade franchises, it would get more respect. It's released and makes a bundle, so
you port it as faithfully as the current hardware allows, attempting to stay true
to the original. That's how it should be, right? Moreover, you'd expect said game
to be given the golden treatment as the first CD installment on fledgling hardware.
I mean, that would be common sense, no?
Well, we all know that Sega is a company that has never really used common sense,
so why start here? They've taken the Afterburner series and slapped a whole heap of
mud all across its face. Such is the price of handing it off to a third party, I
suppose. And why did CSK even touch this? Surely Sega knew that farming out a
franchise is the video game equivalent of the rape of the natural world, so what
happened?
I can already tell what you're thinking. But it looks like Afterburner! Yes, yes it
does. The general premise remains the same. You're still blasting through multiple
stages, taking out as many baddies as possible. The Sega CD version even sports
some cool features, like unlimited missiles (finally!) and vulcans, as well as
ground missions that have you taking out bases and stationary missiles. In the
basic sense, it's still Afterburner, and that's what makes it all the more
infuriating.
I've heard complaints that G-Loc was slow, sometimes too slow. Those who found that
to be a problem will go nuts here. Gone is the sense of speed that defined this
series. Gone are the stomach-turning barrel rolls that made you move from side to
side while you played (there are still barrel rolls, but they're so slow as to be
practically useless). In fact, everything that made Afterburner fun is missing
here. What you're left with is a dry, uninspired shell that has almost as little
flash as it does substance.
I'm well aware that this was one of the initial Sega CD releases, which were
essentially nothing more than cartridge games with great music and cut scenes. That
would be understandable if the Genesis version of Afterburner II didn't play faster
and smoother than part three does. Yes, you heard me right. The five meg Genesis
cart plays better than the Sega CD game. Truth be told, both games have several
things in common, like a total lax of biaxial rotation and hardware scaling. I can
forgive Afterburner II, but the CD game? Sorry. There's just so much wrong with it.
Even worse is that it doesn't even run as smoothly as its Genesis sibling. Things
aren't as choppy as Super Thunderblade, but Afterburner III is still a sorry sight
to behold. Add to this the bland, almost empty terrain and you have a game that
lost its biggest asset in the arcade: the sense - albeit a limited one - of
immersion gained from flying a high speed jet.
I still don't understand how this could be possible. Even with the afterburner on,
the game still moves like it's on a treadmill. What worse is that some of the
"enhancements" made are actually detrimental. You can now choose from the standard
behind-the-back view or the new cockpit view, but which is worse? The standard
view's plane is so darn huge that it's sometimes hard to see incoming missiles, and
you only realize that you were hit when the whole screen bursts into an explosion.
Use the cockpit view and lose all sense of what's around you, as well as any arcade
feel the game may have had left. Were I in a 360 degree rotating arcade cab, I
could enjoy this view. At home on my futon, it just doesn't work.
To be fair, there is some luster among the dullness. The new play modes - timed and
hits - add some variety, though your mileage may vary on just how much. Playing for
most kills is a nice touch considering the lack of a two-player option, but I've
never really considered Afterburner to be anything but a single-player experience.
One man, one mission; that's the way it's always been. Besides, I find it highly
unlikely that you'll be showing off your high scores to your friends.
There are now night and day missions too, but again, the lackluster graphics don't
help at all, and the repetitive terrain all but kills any impact this addition may
have had. The land missions are decent, and shooting down AA guns and missile silos
was a nice change of pace, although that pace was still too slow to really make a
difference.
Seems like I have a complaint for everything, doesn't it? There is one are where I
have no qualms at all, which is what most Sega CD games always got right: the
soundtrack. All your favorite Afterburner tunes are here, in full red book glory,
and they sound wonderful. Some of the original tunes are not as good but the whole
score is very competent overall. It says something about a game when you spend more
time in the sound test than actually playing.
All in all, I'd recommend avoiding Afterburner III if you're a fan, as you're bound
to be disappointed. If your expectations don't run too high, give it a whirl and
see Yu Suzuki's secret shame. The soundtrack is at least worth checking out. For
some real Afterburner action, check out the incredible 32X version instead.

[CD - AH-3 THUNDERSTRIKE]

AH3 Thunderstrike
Region: USA

Controller: Gamepad
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1993
Publisher: JVC Digital Studios
_________________________
Back when Core were cool, they created a next generation classic. This game's
inauspicious debut on the red-headed Sega CD may not have enraptured collective
gamerdom, but it caught the eyes of magazine editors and journalists across two
continents, establishing Core's reputation and paving the way for Tomb Raider's
critical acceptance. With this game, Core proved they could push hardware in ways
that actually result in entertainment. In other words, not through the use of brown
and spotty FMV, but through the use of fast-paced and bountiful destruction.
AH-3 Thunderstrike is the name of that game. It's also the name of the chopper that
you'll double-handedly pilot in one mission-packed campaign after another as you
lay waste to teeming iron forests of artillery and gunboats. Moving from
metaphorical to concrete, you'll even raze literal forests to the ground, hewing
trees of numerous variety with your 1300-rounds-per-minute gatling axe. The best
part: you get to watch the carnage from up close, twin spears of firelight lancing
through woodland greenery and desert machinery from a well-balanced, first-person
cockpit view. This is no Desert Strike; instead of eliminating tiny and distant 2D
sprites, you and your Thunderstrike eradicate 3D tanks face-to-face or from behind,
if that's your style.
To the chagrin of drug dealers, gun runners, pirates and chemical terrorists across
the world, your top-secret experimental prototype ten-of-a-kind Thunderstrike pulls
gatling ammunition from the nether void itself, disbursing endless streams of
ordnance from its twin Canisters of Infinite Holding. While bad for despots and
miscreants, this is good for you since the Thunderstrike's overpowered air-to-air
missiles and city-scorching rockets aren't so numerously apportioned. Since there's
no upper bound on basic ammunition, you have no reason to spare even a single truck
or bunker.
Shooting trucks in a barrel isn't especially challenging, so Core conjured a few

additional opponents from their hat of polygonal magic. Ground-based units such as
SAM sites fling truly dangerous missiles here and there, while triple-A cannons
scatter annoying but relatively harmless artillery shells. Aside from mission-
specific obstacles (such as mobile missile launchers), enemy air power comprises
your most dangerous opposition. The longer your Thunderstrike lingers within radar
range, the more often you'll hear the call of "Incoming Bandits!" and find yourself
flanked by agile helicopters or strafed by speeding jets. You can destroy the radar
and lessen the number of incoming aircraft, but I prefer to hover in the air like
an idiot, then unveil my true cunning nature and deftly slaughter the incoming
choppers with rockets at pointblank range to earn end-of-mission bonuses.
Somewhere before and between annihilation falls the secondary task of campaign
selection. From a comprehensive map of the world, any of ten hotbeds can be chosen
(and must each be cooled to win the game). Select a campaign, listen to the mission
briefing, and destroy something.
"We've found their secret base. Destroy all buildings!"
"Our pilot is trapped in enemy territory. Destroy the encroaching tanks!"
"We've found their airstrip. Destroy it with your RCS!"
"Our convoy needs to cross the forest. Destroy all opposition!"
"Their convoy is crossing the forest. Destroy it!"
If the game has a weakness other than its own age, that weakness is the constant
stream of fire, a pulsating but steady melody of nothing but destruction. There is
no accelerando or crescendo; in every campaign, you will destroy a hundred enemies,
accompanied by the same high-quality guitar-driven rock. It's good, but it's
repetitive. To Core's credit, the mechanical and organic visual designs vary from
one campaign to another. Dusty tanks and cactus pillars in the Arabian desert give
way to green SAMs and palm trees in the South Seas archipelago, which in turn give
way to camouflaged APC's and hearty redwoods in the North American forests. And you
can annihilate all of it.
Even without gargantuan boss encounters or vast gameplay diversity, AH-3

Thunderstrike provides some of the strongest action available on the Sega CD. Pick
it up and discover for yourself why critics and journalists used to care about
Core.

_________________________
Every time the subject of shmups comes up on message boards or in casual
conversation (you'd think people would have other things to talk about), someone
always has to mention the supposed "glut" of games filling the category on the
Genesis. Somehow, Sega's little black box is literally buried beneath a mountain of
planet-saving craft and power ups. Well, boulder dash I say! Shmups were highly
popular at the time, true, but they were also a welcome change from the mass of
Sonic clones that goose-stepped their way through the industry (no that was a
glut). Seriously folks, the shmup genre was one area where we really didn't have
too much of a good thing, and when you go back and look at the whole picture, the
percentage of titles available is actually very much proportionate to the amount of
RPGs and action games. Yet still they complain, still they judge.
Why? Well, they're probably just not real big fans of the genre, that's why. Were
they true shmup enthusiasts (god that sounds pompous!), they'd be appreciative no,
downright grateful, for having such simplistic fun like Android Assault gracing
their game shelf. A shooter that does everything right for a cartridge game and
dresses it all up nice and fancy with some CD bells and whistles, this spacecraft
flew decidedly below the radar. Many people overlooked it, and sadly, even fewer
appreciated it.
But then, who out there can honestly name another Big Fun Games release? It wasn't
exactly the 800lb gorilla of Sega's 3rd party camp, and when most people thought
Sega CD, they thought FMV. It pains me to think that they missed out on some sweet
visuals, awesome boss battles, lengthy stages, and a pumpin' soundtrack. Hey, wait
a second! Isn't that the time-tested recipe for a great shmup?
Great in the classic sense to be sure, but perhaps lacking in any of the pseudo-
next gen special effects Sega promised us for our shiny, new add-on (Soul Star
would try to fill that niche), Android Assault was more or less another example of
the standard fare released on the Sega CD at the time: cartridge games with voiced
cut scenes and a CD soundtrack. While that might ordinarily be a bad thing, it
could actually be quite pleasant when it comes to shmups. You had your standard
cookie-cutter plot and generic weapon power ups among the requisite cliches, but it
all worked so well! I loved the strolling parallax and the several screens-high
stages! I liked the idea of using the storyline to....wait, I'm lying; I don't
remember what the hell Android Assault was about, but who cares? There was no Oscar
at the end of the last level, was there?
No, the object here, as always, was to kill everything that came your way. You
weren't going to be overwhelmed, but the enemy types were varied enough to keep
things interesting, and they all died equally nice. Once you'd powered up your ship
enough to get it to transform into the cutest little mech this side of Arrow Flash,
the real abuse could begin. Letting loose on a stage with a full arsenal was
sometimes too abusive, and I think the developers' hand slipped a little when it
came to the ever-important challenge cushion. Die, and only a single level of
weapon power was lost instead of the whole thing, as opposed to the balls-in-a-vice
brutality that was the calling card of such games as Gradius. Furthermore, you
could always use the mega-powerful force charge to deal some serious damage,
especially during the nice and long respawn invincibility you got after you lost a
life.
Probably the biggest thing I suppose anyone could truly hold against such an
underrated gem in this day and age is its slow pace; this I can concede. We're
talking Gaiares slow here, and that may now turn off some fans who are into twitchy
bullet-fests. This tendency to meander makes some of the stages seem longer than
they really are, and even the hardest difficulty level shouldn't pose too much of a
challenge to anyone with experience. I suppose that Human tried to compensate for
this oversight by stuffing the end of each level with big bosses. Ah, sweet, sweet
bosses! They were as intriguing as they were large, and though some may not seem to
fit their respective stages (why was the huge crab not in the level that actually
had water?), they were still very nice to look at...and kill.
Another potential criticism minor as it may be is the whole "been there, done
that" feeling most will get when playing it today. As I mentioned earlier, there
was no new ground broken here, and you're basically looking at a solid example of
how to do an established genre the right way and in as safe a way as possible. This
shouldn't be too much of a problem, however, since the selection of shmups on the
Sega CD isn't all that great, and chance are, if you're playing Android Assault,
you probably don't really care about this anyway.
Let's break it down into its essential parts then, shall we? You own a Sega CD, and
you need games for the darn thing. Guess what? This right here is a worthy addition
to any library, and its cheap price just makes it that more attractive (not in the
ugly-chick-after-lots-of-tequila sense, just to clarify). Sure, it's more of the
same, but it's so solid that you won't really be bothered by the lack of
originality. Android Assault is fun to play, easy on the eyes, and has a great
score. That's reason enough to give it a spin. So what are you waiting for?

_________________________
Back in 1992 and 1993, and as magazines of the day put it with humor, Batman kept
on returning many times for many systems. Konami, Atari, and (of course) Sega had
their chances with the caped hero and the gloomy world of Tim Burton's second
Batman film, and the results were sometimes good (just check out Konami's game for
Super NES) or mixed. The interesting thing is that, with the exception of Sega's
releases, all Batman Returns were totally different and at least intriguing to see
(for fans of the film).
The Sega CD version is in essence a combination of the five platform levels present
in the cartridge release, with the addition of five extended vehicle sections, a CD
quality soundtrack, and some new artwork for the intro and ending screens. No FMVs
(thankfully) and no music from the film (regrettably) make their appearance, unlike
the speculation prior to its release, back in 1992. Some people criticized the
inclusion of the platform levels in an unaltered form, and Sega can't be blamed.
It's like it programmed a single platform game for cart and CD and then added the
driving section as the selling point of the CD version. Of course, the driving
section is so good and so immense that there's no doubt about which is the main
meal.
One can only imagine, however, how this game could have been like if the platform
section had been improved over the Genesis (much like how Virgin's Terminator CD
compares to Terminator Genesis). I'm one of those that defend the Batman Returns
cart since the game has several merits, despite it being incomparably inferior to
Konami's Batman Returns for SNES or even Sega's own driving levels for the CD. It
comprises five long levels that loosely follow, or expand upon, the film's set-
pieces, and in general theme and style it's obvious that the designers were
inspired by Sunsoft's Batman, down to the very similar status bar at the bottom of
the screen. In comparison, Sunsoft's simpler game is prettier and plays better but
still, Batman Returns expands and adds several interesting elements like five
different weapons and cape gliding.
Speaking of precedents, some of the ideas present in the best games based on the
1989 Bat-film seem to be the basic inspiration for the amazing driving levels. The
three Batmobile stages feel like a combination (and vast improvement) of the
"behind the vehicle" super-fast Batmobile racing from Ocean's Batman: The Movie
(Amiga), and the shooting action from the Batmobile stage in Sunsoft's Batman. It
works, since the controls are excellent and responsive, and the gameplay offers a
balanced mix of vehicle maneuvering and enemy shooting. The two Batskiboat levels
round out the driving portion, and while their quality is up to par with the
Batmobile levels, they are less enjoyable as they are a bit claustrophobic since
they are obviously set in subterranean water tunnels, giving more emphasis in
avoiding obstacles rather than combat.
Each driving "act" is divided in sub-sections making a total of twenty-one levels

and nine bosses, while the platform's five acts make a total of fifteen levels with
several scattered mid-bosses as well as Catwoman and Penguin confrontations,
resulting in a fairly long game if the "full game" option is chosen. Still, there's
always the option of playing only the driving Levels. Much has been said about the
driving section's high difficulty level, mainly due to the presence of the
notorious time limit. It's indeed pretty difficult, but the game has a smooth
learning curve and it's a matter of time for the player to learn the patterns that
allow for a quicker run through most sections.
The graphics for the driving levels all have nice and detailed background and
vehicle designs, as well as excellent use of colour, parallax scrolling in the
background cityscape and (of course) the almost flawless scaling that gives a
convincing "3D" impression. The presentation could have been a bit better, since
the intro "cinematic" with the falling Ice Princess is plain ugly, and the
beautiful hand-drawn renderings are very few (you'll see only one good shot of
Batman or the vehicles in the ending and the "game over" screens). Most of us
remember how "important" were the semi-static screens in setting the tone in a 16-
bit game. However, the three Batmobile stages have some of the most beautiful
graphics I have seen in a game made in 1992-93.
Purple is the basic colour scheme for the platform graphics. The use of purple
instead of dark shades of black and blue (I'm not sure if it was a design choice
dictated by the limited palette, an aesthetic decision, or actually a bit of both)
gives the game a strange and unique look that some might find quite attractive,
while others a bit distracting compared to the shiny driving stages. The Bat, the
Cat and the Penguin have all purple hues on their black outfits, as do most of the
backgrounds. The very detailed and moody backgrounds have this "baroque neo-gothic"
aesthetic the film had, down to the use of decorative motifs combined with steel
beams as well as big sculptures and statues, and in general are quite effective in
setting a tone true to the film's spirit. There are a lot of nice ideas throughout,
but maybe the execution leaves something to be desired.
The music is good, although no matter how good the tracks are, some cues from Danny
Elfman's score would definitely make the gaming experience better (the
aforementioned SNES Batman Returns is a case in point). Composed by Spencer Nilsen,
the game's BGM comprises of several excellent guitar-driven tunes, but only a
couple of them have a Batman feeling (namely the keyboard-laden Intro, Finale and
Game Over/Options). The remaining tracks are essentially interchangeable: one could
hear most of them in any racing or action game. They are still good, but simply
don't fit with the on-screen action very well (the bluesy tune heard in the third
vehicle stage is particularly out of place). Nilsen's work for Amazing Spider-Man
or Ecco was definitely better-suited for the theme and tone of these games. The
sound effects in the driving levels are excellent, and I always get a kick out of
Batman's unintentionally (?) funny grunt when he is hit in the platform levels.
History (and PlayStation) has proven that real-time 3D environments was the future
of games and while the FMV games dated, and dated badly, quality 16-bit graphics
are always going to be a classic relic of the early '90s. Batman Returns for Sega-
CD is still one of the best driving games of the 16-bit era, and a film tie-in that
is worth checking out. Personally I consider this alongside Virgin's Terminator CD
as two Mega CD items I cherish, since they are pieces of software that do justice
to the films they are based upon, and combine the best of what an early 16-bit CD-
ROM game could do.

Black Hole Assault
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: VS Fighter
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1992
Developer: Bignet
Publisher: Bignet
_________________________
I have to be straight up about fighters: they aren't my favourite genre. I
certainly enjoy them more than puzzle games and point-and-click adventures but
pretty much anything else is preferred. As far as 2D fighters go, I may only like a
bit of Mortal Kombat and some Street Fighter, but I still know what to look for in
a good one. When picking up Black Hole Assault, I couldn't even tell what genre it
was. The screen shots on the back aren't much help, and the front cover suggests
some sort of action game with giant robots. Unless you know beforehand, it actually
takes quite a while to find out what sort of game it is. The opening movie still
suggests some sort of action shooter, and it is not until you actually start the
game that you know you are playing a 2D fighter.
The initial presentation of Black Hole Assault is fantastic, especially so for its
time. The game starts with an impressive, detailed opening scene complete with some
good voice work and animations that explain the setting. Set in the 2160 A.D.,
events take place after a war with aliens known as the Akirov, where resources are
getting scarce, and humans have began exploring the solar system to search for
more. On one of these missions some probes are attacked and destroyed by the
Akirov, and it is then that humanity realizes it again has to defend Earth from
invasion. This defense is done through the use of Cybernetic Anthropomorphic
Machines (C.A.M.s), which are adapted from alien technology and used for Earth's
defense. A plot like this with some slick anime style cut scenes and some memorable
CD quality tunes all sounds full of potential, until you get to the game itself.
Black Hole Assault's story is of course just an excuse for giant robots to fight
each other, and that is certainly no bad thing or shouldn't be. After getting
through the opening movie, title options, the next movie and then finally to the
game, I was expecting something really special. This expectation vanished the
instant I got to a screen with only two very similar robots (one is blue and one is
red; I like blue so that's what I chose). The visuals and the presentation take a
serious drop the instant you start the game. The characters with the exception of a
few enemy robots are very simply drawn and have limited movement animation. The
backgrounds are generally very bland, taking on the look of different planets in
the solar system such as Venus and Mars. With the exception of some limited weather
effects, there isn't much happening on the screen apart from the two awkward-
looking robots. The bottom screen has some health and power bars, along with the
time limit like most fighters and that's about it.
The simplistic in-game presentation could more easily be forgiven if the gameplay
was top notch but it unfortunately isn't. The characters have punch, kick and throw
for A, B and C. Each character has a power move that can be used with the A button
when the power bar is up, most powers being a similar energy blast. Apart from that
you are left to jump kicking, sliding and most of this can be done either
crouching, jumping or standing. Even for someone who shuns too many complicated
moves in a fighter this is disastrously simplistic. The game amusingly included a
short tutorial detailing the games limited moves and showing exactly where you have
to press on the control to do each one.
The gameplay itself is hampered by the appalling collision detection. Throwing

almost never works except for one case when an enemy robot managed to repeatedly do
it to me without any way to avoid it. Kicks often don't connect even though they
appear to and occasionally even work when they don't seem to connect. Enemies are
almost always successful with moves they make but disadvantage themselves with some
shockingly bad A.I. The various enemies will often not move or jump around
erratically when you do. If one of your attacks doesn't connect, and if your
character lands anywhere near the enemy, you will either immediately be thrown or
it will stand still while you hit it.
Each enemy behaves differently, but all have a weakness that involves doing the
same thing repeatedly. One requires merely crouching and repeatedly kicking while
he walks into it. Another will succumb to jump kicks and yet another will stand
there while you continually use your special attack. Some put up a fight, but their
actions merely frustrate you. None, barring perhaps the last fight, show any sort
of intelligence or provide any real challenge. To add variety to the fights there
are different gravity effects on each planet, but considering their ease, this
doesn't have much impact or add any genuine diversity to the gameplay.
The game is extremely short with only eight fights and is bearable if only to see
the story scenes, which as stated, are well done for the time. After this there is
two-player mode that allows you to use six of the eight enemy bots (the final two
are unplayable). If you find anyone that wants to play with you there is a basic
exhibition and even some tournament and league options. There is also a scoring
system in single-player measuring how fast you can defeat each enemy. With the
shocking gameplay and short single-player offering, it is unlikely that anyone will
want to play through it again or show it to friends.
The main strength of Black Hole Assault is its presentation. It has some great
tunes, a story full of potential and some nice animations outside of the gameplay.
Like with all games however, this alone is not enough to save it. Compelling,
addictive and especially entertaining gameplay is what ultimately makes games
great, and this only becomes clearer as they age. Black Hole Assault is good proof
of that at least.

Release Year: 1993
Publisher: GameTek
Players: 1 or 2 VS
_________________________
When a game is released on three different systems and you own all three systems it
can be a small chore deciding what system to get which game on. With Brutal, a 2-D
fighting game from the 16-bit days, I had a choice of three versions, the Genesis,
the SNES and the Sega CD. While the SNES reformed the game entirely, the Sega CD
was an upgraded version of the Genesis game, loaded with better quality sound, a
new character and various extra features.
Brutal was an unusual fighter for various reasons, it used animal characters
instead of humans and had a fighting style which was quite unique. It was almost
like a parody of those really cheesy martial arts films, mainly Enter the Dragon.
The story is quite uninspired, following a martial arts tournament being held on a
remote island, it attracted a menagerie of fighters who came to battle for the
prize money, each for his or her own reasons.
One of the most important difference in Brutal is the odd fighting style which
differs distinctly from other fighting games. The basic control layout is no
different from any other Genesis fighter, A for weak attack, B for middle , C for
strong and the start button to swap between kicks and punches. The real difference
is how the damage of these attacks is executed. If you perform a heavy attack on an
opponent who is standing still then the chances are that the damage done will be
quite insignificant. However, if you time your attacks well you can do a great deal
of damage and even score a one hit k.o. If you dodge an attack and follow up with a
swift and strong attack then you can really send them packing. Brutal's control
scheme may seem a little unusual to most gamers but when you get used to the system
it actually makes a lot more sense than normal.
At the end of the fight, you'll treated to a quick analysis of the battle. This is
packed with information like the number of kicks in the fight etc. You also get a
summary of the fight which usually goes like "Player one humiliated Player Two with
strong and accurate kicks." It's a neat feature and on top of that you can watch a
replay of the fight while you glance over the stats.
Brutal uses an unusual password feature which allows you to come back to a game if
you have to stop for some reason. You have to enter your name at the start of every
new game, which is really annoying but you can just call yourself AAA or something
because it doesn't matter. Before you start the fight, you'll be given a password
which you can write down for later use. So, if you get stuck fighting a character
then all you have to do is note the password and take a break.
We also have a move learning system which you go through during the normal one-
player mode. If you defeat the two opponents, you will be allowed to learn a
special move, courtesy of the Dali Llama. The first one that every character learns
is the taunt. It sounds a little pointless, but it not only looks good, it actually
allows you to recover lost health during the fight. It can help a lot if you manage
to do it right but it can also leave you open for attack. Fortunately, the next two
moves that you learn will be more damaging and surprisingly, some of the moves have
very unusual combinations. For example, in most fighting games you'll have to do a
combination on the D-pad and then press an attack button. In Brutal, some moves
only require the combination for the move so they flow into the attack instantly.
the Sega CD version is packed of extra features that the other two version didn't
have at all. First off, we have a brand new character added here who was removed
from the other versions, the Pantha. This cloaked demonic cat is a bit hard to get
used to, but he can be great for veterans, and having an extra character to
experiment with does extend the gameplay. There are also FMV sequences which are
well animated and quite amusing and an outtakes gallery. This is full of unused
concepts, old character designs and new animation, it also has an outtake from the
opening FMV sequence which is pretty funny. There is also an aftermath story which
explains what happened to the fighter after you defeat him, a nice feature.
Finally, we have the Brutal band which is sound test option that has a band of
animals playing along to the tune, this is crap but the other bits and pieces are
highly entertaining.
Brutal's cartoon style looks great. All of the characters are well animated, and
each has their own taunts and victory poses which are quite appealing. There is a
huge amount of new animation added, like the improved movement of Kung Fu Bunny on
the title screen. There are two FMV sequences, one about Ivan the Bear leaving work
to join the tournament and the other introducing all of the characters. The
animation here is fluid and has all of the qualities needed for a Saturday morning
cartoon; it's a welcome addition to the game. Brutal has some great backgrounds as
well. The beach level is bright and cheery, while the detail on the sky platform is
great, with mountains in the background, although the best thing about the level is
pushing your opponent off the edge.
Brutal's sound is completely different from any of the other versions. Since it's
on the Sega CD, everything has been completely remixed and regenerated and sounds a
lot better. The slow martial arts theme as been replaced by dance music, not the
like the crappy music from the sequel, but really fast toe-tapping stuff. We also
have a really sweet Kung Fu track that could be in any old Kung Fu movie. This
usually fills in the post-battle sequences. It sounds very authentic and is a
massive improvement.
Only play Brutal on the Sega CD, as the other versions are pretty pathetic when
compared to this package. You get the same game with a few more extra features,
cool FMV, and an extra character. It's quite rare nowadays, so the chances are that
you'll only be able to play the Genesis or the SNES version. If you can't find the
Sega CD game then get the Genesis version; it's a little choppy in comparison but
it's the next best thing. Brutal is something that you may want to check out if
you're tired of playing the more popular fighters on the system or the Mega Drive.
It's ideal for collectors and most fighting game fanatics will be pleased to find
something that does things a little bit differently.

Developer: Stargate
Players: 1
_________________________
Of the first two releases from Good Deal Games (the other game being Star Strike),
I'd have to say that this one is the better of the two. The graphics and FMV are
pretty good, although the color palette seems a bit starved in places. Sound is
good, but what really makes the entertainment value in this game is the hokey
acting and effects. It has that look of someone put in extra effort just to be B-
Movie cheesy, and it works for this game. As far as gameplay goes, I was really
impressed with the targeting. Next to Sewer Shark, I think this has got to be one
of the best FMV shooters for the platform (and I've played a ton of them). I can
only think of one time in the game where I felt that I hit my target but had it
register as a miss, where as in most other games of this genre for the SegaCD... I
can usually only think of one time where I hit the target and it actually counted
the hit!
Even at the high price this game is initially being sold at, I think everyone with
a SegaCD who enjoyed playing these games should pick up a copy, if for no other
reason than to help support these guys to release more games. I can't say that I
don't think they would sell a lot more at a lower price. Let's face it,there are
really only three groups of people who are going to buy these games:
1. - hard-core collectors, who will pay pretty much anything to have a complete
set.
2. - casual collectors, who will pay mid-range for games they don't have/haven't
played before.
3. - people who only own the one platform, eg... mom and dad bought Jr. a SegaCD
when he was eight, and now he's sixteen and no other system, but still likes to
pick up new (to him) games to play on his console. He's spending $3 for Loadstar at
the local video game graveyard.
...and $30+ is really two high for group #3, and most of group #2... While I would
love to see these guys do well, I personally fall into group #2, and have a hard
time justifying the expense. It's a really fun game though, even if it is a bit
short. In any event, it's great to see some fresh material coming out for older
systems, and this game was well worth the wait.

[CD - BURNING FISTS]

Burning Fists: Force Striker
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: VS Fighter
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 2006
Developer: Good Deal Games
_________________________
Burning Fists: Force Striker began life as an incomplete prototype that is said to
have originated out of Sega of Japan. Apparently a former employee took two builds
of the game, then known as Force Striker, and proceeded to sell them on eBay to a
collector as Burning Fists, the name the game was apparently going to go under upon
its release. Eventually the prototypes made its way into the hands of Good Deal
Games, which in turn had independent Genesis developer evermind clean it up and get
it ready for a post-mortem Sega CD release.
Having a clue about the game's history, you may already be thinking that since Sega
never chose to release the game, how good can it really be? Compared with other
prototype games that eventually saw a release, though, it is actually not half bad.
Burning Fists is for all intents just like every other Street Fighter 2 imitator of
its period. Graphically, it shares a lot with Sega's other Street Fighter 2
wannabe, Eternal Champions. It has decent animation, although the main characters
themselves are noticeably shorter than the gigantic spectators in the background.
Perhaps the game was originally intended to have larger, less-animated sprites?
Musically, the game is also surprisingly decent.
Where Burning Fists stumbles, however, is in its game play. The enemy AI is fairly
inconsistent, at times owning the streets and at other times allowing you to simply
walk up to it and throw it. It is obvious that player balance was also never
completely tweaked since the game has a high number of spam moves that can keep an
opponent trapped in a corner. Finally, there is no combo system to really speak of
either.
What puts the game back over the top for me is probably its one unintended feature.
Burning Fists is full of often time's hilarious Japenglish stuff including phrases
like "Your trick is sharp as a noted blade" or "What a luchas spectacular feal"
(notice the typo, and um, Spanish??) In fact, the whole game has a campy feel to it
to get from one stage to another the Japanese warrior rides on horseback, the
famous female wrestler gets around in a Ferarri, and the Chinese girl gets around
on a bicycle. There's even a little bit of political incorrectness? The Iraqi stage
is in the middle of an Operation Desert Storm battlefield. Nice.
Overall I have to say that Good Deal Games did a good thing by releasing this game
to the public. As long as you expect Eternal Champions and not Street Fighter 2,
you'll probably like it as well.

earliest game Loadstar.
You find yourself in the so-called Xenozoic Age - after a cataclysm in 2020 A.D.,
mankind was forced to hide beneath the surface. Once it could come out again, it
found the world terribly changed, with dinosaurs roaming freely once again. A
mysterious mutant-like race, called the Grith, believe the cataclysm was caused by
the upsetting of the natural balance. Now, the leader of the restored City in the

Girth chose you, Jack Tenrec, and your partner Hannah Dundee, to rid the world of
Scharnhorst. And you get to do it in a red '53 Cadillac with mounted machine guns.
While you're at the task, you must battle hungry, mean dinosaurs, but also be
careful not to upset the balance of nature. Also, try not to upset your volcanic-
energy fueled caddy by hitting too much obstacles along the way.
Graphics are a mix of 3D objects and environments and comic-like 2D sprites, but
captures much of the original comic book's style.

[CD - CHUCK ROCK I]

Chuck Rock
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Platformer
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1992
_________________________
On the Genesis, you couldn't turn the corner without running into a platform game
starring some goofy character. With the Sega CD, full motion video games seemed to
flood the market, but here we have an updated platformer on our beloved CD console.
Chuck Rock leaps onto the Sega CD with a rocking good soundtrack, and some pretty
colorful graphics. And while it won't change the way you play video games, it
provides a decent hour of platforming fun. It's time to get prehistoric!
Chuck is a laid back cave man. He was watching the rock games on TV, when his wife
was kidnapped by the cunning Gary Gritter (a play on Gary Glitter?). Chuck rushes
to throw some leaves on and track them down. It's your cliched "save the princess"
plot line, just set in the stone age. Chuck himself is an everyman of sorts - he
watches TV, enjoys life at home with his wife, and has a beer belly. He seems like
an unlikely hero, but he'll have to get through twenty-eight colorful levels of
platforming action to get back his wife!
Instead of jumping on enemies, Chuck has two different attacks. With the B button,
he can bounce his big beer belly at enemies, and when he jumps with the C button
and attacks in the air, he can kick at enemies. The problem with both of these
attacks, is that they are very short range and awkward. It does take a while to get
used to the timing of when to attack, because enemies need to get very close to
Chuck for them to connect. Fortunately, Chuck can also pick up boulders and throw
that at enemies. It take a little bit of time to perfect the art of attacking, but
after a few levels it becomes much easier.
The game itself is mildly difficult. You mainly move Chuck through the levels,
bopping bad guys and picking up items for points. The best items are the hearts
which increase Chuck's health. There are no power ups or weapons for Chuck, but the
boulders he finds are very important. In many cases, he must stack boulders on top
of one another to reach the next part of the level. There are some puzzle elements
throughout the game, but overall, it's not hard to figure out.
There are five main levels in this game, each with a varying amount of stages. The
first level, the jungle, has the most stages with eight total. Most of the rest of
the levels have four or five. Things start off pretty easy, but once you get to the
cave and the water levels, the difficulty gets higher. Enemies become stronger and
have trickier attack patterns, and the levels get longer. What's great is that
there are tons of different bad guys and bonus items for points in every level.
Then there are the big boss fights! Chuck must battle some huge animals to get to
the next level, and thankfully there is a password feature to start you off at the
next location.
I found Chuck Rock to be a visually pleasing game. The opening intro has a very
strange art style (but then again, so does the box art), but the actual in-game
sprites look quite nice. The water and ice levels look great, and the enemies are
very colorful. After playing a bunch of grainy FMV titles on the Sega CD, this is a
welcome change of pace.
Chuck Rock CD also has a rocking soundtrack, and I enjoyed the background tunes and
sound effects. The music is very good, but it's limited. For example, the first
level has the same music in all eight of the jungle stages, so it does get a little
old after a while, but at least the tunes are nice enough, so it's not too much of
a problem. The narrator of the opening intro is another high point, in how cheesy
he sounds.
The whole game can be beaten in under an hour, and with no way to change the
difficulty setting, this hurts things by not allowing players to alter it. The
password feature allows players to return to their favorite stages, but it's just a
shame that the game is a bit on the short side. At least once Chuck loses all of
his lives, he does have the ability of continuing once. Also of note, is that the
ending is merely one still picture with some text displayed over it, telling you to
look out for the sequel coming soon.
I really wasn't expecting much from Chuck Rock CD, but its colorful graphics and
decent music helped get over some of the strange gameplay in this fairly short
platformer. Sadly, it seems that 2D platformers have nearly become just as extinct
as the dinosaurs in this game (except on handheld consoles it seems), so it holds
up as a refreshing change of pace. Chuck Rock CD delivers nostalgic hop and bop
fun, in a bright carefree world. The strange method of attacking and the short play
time hurts the game, but as it stands, Chuck Rock CD is a somewhat rocking trip
back in time, even if it only lasts for a short while.

Genre: Platformer
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1993
_________________________
The story in this Chuck Rock game takes up a little while after the end of the
first game. As you may remember, Chuck Rock had to rescue his girl, Ophelia from
the bad dude Gary Gritter. Well, he was successful in his efforts, and now Chuck
and Ophelia are married. Eventually, they have a son, named Junior. Chuck works in
a factory, where he develops great skill at carving automobiles out of stone. A
rival manufacturer becomes jealous of Chuck's abilities and kidnaps him. Now it is
up to Junior to rescue his dad!
The gameplay in this sequel is similar to the first game, but with some minor
differences since you are playing as Junior, rather than Chuck. This is a side-
scrolling platform game with occasional rock-moving puzzles thrown in. Unlike
Chuck, Junior carries a club that gives his attacks further reach.

_________________________
Most Sega CD owners, upon hearing the name Digital Pictures, probably feel a cold
shiver go down their spine, and for good reason. Why? Because they were a video
game developer that focused completely on that little genre known as FMV. They are
the creators of such instant modern "classics" like Night Trap and Ground Zero
Texas. For the most part, their games were SO BAD that they arguably killed the
Sega CD. And unless you are a fan, you would probably do well to avoid any games by
them.
But surprisingly, there was one game they made that wasn't an FMV game. That's
right, Digital Pictures made an actual game, which is pretty much a historical
occasion. There was just one problem: it was never released during the Sega CD's
heyday. Which is really too bad, because Citizen X, which is completely FMV free
except for the cut scenes, is actually a decent game. Had this been released,
Digital Pictures might have actually had more than two fans.
Let's get the bad out of the way first . The in-game graphics are awful. Everything
is extremely grainy, even for the Genesis. If you have bad eyesight in the
slightest, you won't be able to tell what anything is. Also, the controls are quite
stiff. It is extremely hard to even fight efficiently, and in a game like this,
where fighting well is key, you are in trouble.
The game plays vaguely like the original Prince of Persia, where you had to beat
the game in an hour by rushing through a palace filled with death traps. Only this
game is on crack. In Citizen X, you have to rush through the sewers, completing
sub-missions on your way to save the world. The only problem is, you have to do it
in fifteen minutes. That's right, you have to beat a huge maze game in fifteen
minutes, and except for a few power ups that will add a minute or two back on the
timer, you are on your own against it.
There are a few other power ups as well, such as dynamite for blowing open vaults
where you can find important items, as well as weak floors; food and first-aid for
refilling your life meter; ammo, for the gun that you have to find somewhere in the
game; and the obligatory quest items that you need to complete the plot.
Still, the game has some redeeming qualities. The gameplay is quite fun, the only
problem is that the difficulty is through the roof, into the stratosphere, and past
the International Space Station into the far reaches of space. I have never beaten
this game (at time of writing). I am not ashamed to say it, and when you play it,
you won't be either. Some of the enemies, especially the bosses, are ridiculous.
One positive thing is that the enemies are crazy diverse. You will be fighting
everything in those sewers from the simple (rats and 'gators) to the mind-blowing
(a cannibal martial artist). It seems like everything imaginable is out to get you,
and once in a while the main terrorist stops to laugh at your pathetic efforts to
stop him.
Speaking of laughing, the video cut scenes are hilariously bad. The first time you
meet the main villain, it is likely that you will be either on the floor, dying of
laughter, or staring in disbelief. There is one point where a mime looks like he's,
well, miming that he's...I'm not even going to say it. It's that bad. You have to
see it for yourself. Also, in that same cut scene, something blows up, and I mean
"something" quite literally, because the footage of the explosion was either never
filmed or never put in, so when the mime activates the bomb, the screen goes black
with the word "BOOM!" in the middle, with the explosion only audible... I am not
making this up.
The controls are simple (except for the stiffness): A is for jumping; B is for
punching; and C is for using a selected item; START takes you to the menu, where
you can select items, look at your map, or change the game options. If you press A
and B together just right, you can do a kick attack.
The music and sounds are adequate as well. They're not redbook, but they're catchy
enough. The explosions sound vaguely like explosions, and when you or an enemy is
attacked, you make a nice sound of pain. For the most part, it's pretty
unremarkable, but hey, at least it doesn't have the Night Trap theme song.
There aren't any other game modes to speak of. One nice feature is that the game
saves the high scores to memory, so you can challenge your friends if they come
over. Strangely, it tells you what "mission" the players were on when they kicked
the bucket, which I assume means that when you beat the game, it begins again a
little bit harder, like some old arcade games.
Overall, Citizen X is average. It has issues, but it still manages to be somewhat

fun. I'd say Digital Pictures should at least get an "A" for effort. It is the only
true game in their library as far as I know. I find it quite fun and entertaining,
but you might not think so. I gave Star Strike a seven, but that was in terms of an
FMV game. This is NOT an FMV game, so I'm not sure what to say, so I'll play it
safe. Your mileage may vary.

_________________________
I should have stayed away from this one as soon as I saw Sylvester Stallone on the
cover hanging from a wall in short-shorts looking like he needs to go to the
bathroom. And when the Sony Imagesoft logo appeared when I popped the disk in, I
should have known I was in for trouble. I'm still scared to play any more of their
Sega CD offerings after the horror that was Bram Stoker's Dracula. Here, we have
another action platformer based on a movie, this time starring Sylvester Stallone.
And while this game is not an absolute mess like Dracula, it' still plagued with
many of the same problems. Here we go again.
I'll start with the good points. What's really surprising here is that there's
about twenty minutes of film on the disk with full audio and sound effects. This
means that unlike the confusing clips from Dracula which featured no voices, you
now have fully voiced clips from the film. Even the Terminator on the Sega CD
didn't have the voices to go with the clips, so some credit is due here. The story
goes that Sylvester is a mountain rescue man who must rescue some money as well as
his friends from evil Qualen and his thugs. The money has been lost above the
mountains, and it's up to you to find it. Before every level, there is a clip from
the film. Also, in the main menu there's an option called "story" where you can
view a bunch of scenes from the beginning of the film that sets up the plot.
Ok, it's got decent clips from the movie, but how's the gameplay? Simply put,
repetitive and horribly aggravating. There are seven main levels to the game broken
up into various sections. There's only a minimum of variety to the gameplay,
punching and kicking thugs in sections that can best be described as Streets of
Rage gone wrong. You also climb cliffs, jump over ledges, and there are the real
time scaling snowboard scenes. The thing is, it gets old after a few minutes and
the controls are so bad that these simple tasks become very frustrating.
Sure, Sylvester can punch and kick, but the hit detection in the game is nearly non
existent. Sometimes, you can just stand in front of a thug and keep pressing the A
button to punch and he'll die. Other times, you don't even have to face a bad guy
and you'll still hurt him. Sometimes, the reverse is true for the bad guys. Jumping
in the game is a nightmare, and there are many sections where you have to time your
jumps just right to land on moving logs or other obstacles. Jumping is awkward
though, so prepare to fall to your doom over and over. Also, running is something
Sylvester seems to forget how to move now and then, as half the time you tap right
to run, he won't do it. Pathetic! The snow board sections are some of the hardest
parts of the game, and yes, they look nice, and the sense of speed is conveyed
well, but they are far too hard. You have to jump over a million rocks and slide
between trees and rocks at breakneck speeds.
Crash too many times and you'll either lose all your health, or the avalanche
following you will swallow you up. Prepare to throw your controller in rage at
these sections.
That's one of the biggest problems of the game is the incredible difficulty brought
upon because of the poor controls. It's not as impossible as Dracula, but unless
you put the ninety-nine lives code in, you will not beat it any time soon. There
are too many tricky jumps and cheap attacks (sometimes right after you die and come
back there are enemies already on top of you) that really become frustrating with
the repetitive gameplay. In the options, you can change the number of lives you
have, but having more lives means fewer continues, and fewer lives give you more
continues. You can't set them individually, nor can you change the overall
difficulty. It's a lost cause.
Another thing that just downright confuses me is how many different things hurt
Sylvester. When enemies shoot him, the bullets do less damage then some of the
character's punches. Even falling mounds of snowflakes are more deadly then some of
the bad guys!? And what was with the bats in the cave that would kill you
instantly? And why are there ninjas up in the mountains? What was with the first
boss flailing about like a fish out of water, lunging at you with his belly? Why
does the final boss's sprites look meaner and bigger then his movie counterpart?
The whole game is full of these weird moments that will have you scratching your
head over the stupidity of it all.
It doesn't help that early Genesis games look much better then this. The graphics
are poor, and the snowboard and live action scenes are the only decent looking
things in the game. Most of the levels look similar: snow covered mountains. You
also get to go through a forest, jump over some icy ponds, and run from bats in the
cave, but it looks quite similar and there's a very low color palette at work. The
music is nothing memorable, and again the only cool thing in the sound department
is the audio clips from the movie. Some of the music in the game is from the film,
but I can assure you that the Cliffhanger soundtrack will leave your ears cold with
boredom.
In the end, Sony Imagesoft has made another lackluster movie tie-in, but at least
this time there's a few nice things to say about the game, and it doesn't have half
the glitches as Dracula. Once I beat it (which can be done in under an hour,
assuming you use the lives cheat), I knew I would never touch this one again.
Decent movie clips and nicely done (but too hard) snowboard sections save this from
being a total disaster like Dracula, but it makes me wonder how poor the Genesis
version must be. Action fans in need of a great movie based game should get the
Terminator and steer clear of this mess. I always liked Arnold better then
Sylvester anyway.

[CD - COBRA COMMAND]

Cobra Command
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Shooter
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1992
_________________________
Gaming vultures (Cathartes bokosuka) love to peck at the defenseless corpses of
perished consoles, gouging out the most nauseous remnants of inhumanity. With its
library of full-motion video games, some of which lack enough frames of animation
to literally qualify as "full-motion", the Sega CD serves many a dish for these
voracious, merciless, insatiable, sadomasochistic scavengers. I'm not like that. I
don't derive sensual pleasure from feeding on decomposition; I look for the strong
and mighty in every console, an inclination which leads me to scour the world for
spirited drakes with which I can make sweet gaming love. Two proud specimens from
this era (Time Gal and Road Avenger) provide me satisfaction, delivering virile
strength in contrast to Cobra Command's emasculative decay. I've unfortunately been
saddled with this lame duck for eleven years.
Cobra Command thrusts hapless players into the cockpit of the LX-3FX, a gibberish
assortment of letters meaning "awesome new helicopter" according to the instruction
manual or "mostly normal helicopter" according to me. Whereas fellow Sega CD
helicopter adventure AH-3 Thunderstrike focused on bountiful destruction, Cobra
Command focuses on brown and spotty FMV. Instead of a free-roaming blaze of
unpredictable glory, the L3-XFX's adventure is scripted and unchanging, forcing
gamers through the same grainy scenery on every tour of duty. Removing player
interactivity for the sake of flash is a risky gamble, and Cobra Command rolls a
poisonous snake eyes.
Scripted adventure games of either the menu-driven or FMV persuasion work their
magic through amusing situations, atmospheric immersion, or sometimes even a
witches' brew of both. The escapades of swashbuckling knight Dirk in Dragon's Lair
successfully enticed arcade gamers due to fluid animation and darkly amusing
situations. When Dirk teeter-tottered for dear life at the edge of a bridge over
troubled lava, players cared because Dirk was alive, his face contorted into goofy
expressions of panic, his boots slipping on crumbling wooden planks. Dragon's Lair
can't stand up under serious scrutiny, but that's alright because the game doesn't
take itself seriously.
Not only does Cobra Command make the mistake of taking itself seriously, but it
enters the animated FMV arena at a disadvantage since its only "characters" are
helicopters, tanks and other impersonal ironclads. You'll never see the villains'
sneering faces or witness the atrocities they've supposedly committed. Instead,
you'll fly in and destroy the exact same mechanical opponents in the exact same
order in the exact same places as the last time you played... and you won't even
know why you're doing any of this because, despite being entirely based around
full-motion video animation, the game doesn't include an introductory plot
sequence.
Since it can't rely on energetic heroes or despicable villains (due to not having
any), the essence of Cobra Command is to push the player through potentially the
coolest places on the planet. With each level, the LF-X3X is force-fed through an
animated city, canyon or forest, requiring the player to occasionally press "left"
or "right" to dodge predestined obstacles, or to point the cursor and click to
shoot a predestined enemy at a predestined moment. Theoretically, pointlessly
flying circles around enormous Easter Island statue-heads or strafing tanks in the
streets of New York City should be incredible experiences. Unfortunately, being an
FMV adventure, most of your helicopter's fancy flying is done for you. As one
example of many, the above-referenced rotation around the Easter Island head
demands exactly zero controller input. Watch the LX-X3F spin in a circle. Watch an
enemy helicopter appear. Move the cursor and click immediately or WOW! YOU LOSE!
Gunblade New York this is not.
With choppy animation and subdued coloration, Cobra Command fails to even make the
most of its purely visual stimuli. Even back in the day when no one cared about
frame rates, Cobra Command's frame rate was unacceptable; whereas Road Avenger
flowed smoothly, the animation here churns and sputters from one scene to the next.
I have to wonder what developer Data East was thinking. The bouncy and disjointed
visuals might be intentional, as though to represent a realistic cartoon helicopter
flight. Realistic or not, it's irritating and I pray no other game designer ever
follows Data East's lead (unless they're ripping off a great game like Bad Dudes).
What's not even remotely realistic is how one scene suddenly shifts to another
without any reasonable segue or in-between animation. In the "Middle East" level, I
soared above a sand dune, incinerating two approaching tanks with my bulbous yellow
missiles in the open desert sky. The LX-3FX then warped time and space (a fancy way
of saying the screen faded out), teleporting me into a dark and claustrophobic oil
refinery! On another level, I conducted a rainforest raid, directing the L3-XFX
through lush greenery, orchestrating a symphony of choppily animated destruction.
After bursting a shrub-ensconced SAM site, the smoke cleared and visions of an icy
canyon, bereft of any vegetation whatsoever, met my eyes. Incoherence! Cobra
Command, I reserve no forgiveness in my heart for you!
Even if the choppy animation and spastic continuity were forgivable, incompetent
level design would still clip Cobra Command's wings. Picture yourself in the
gunner's seat, being chauffeured down the side of a steep canyon. As you imagine
how much more fun the game would be if you could actually pilot the helicopter, a
terrorist chopper rises up from the rocky depths, ominously staring your L3-XFX
straight in the windshield. "Be attitude for gains! The terrorist chopper must
DIE!" howls your inner Murdock. Thirty bullets later, the mechanical rapscallion
still hovers unharmed . . . soon to be joined by a second wicked helicopter! A
targeting reticule appears and automatically positions itself around the second
chopper, indicating that this particular terrorist can be destroyed. Only after
eliminating the second helicopter can the first, the one that you've been trying to
dispatch for a good ten seconds, be dealt with.
The next time a terrorist appears, you have one second to kill him. Or else you
die. Instantly.
In a further misguided effort to add variety to the game, Data East granted several
opponents the super heroic ability to deflect bullets. Since the gatling isn't
effective against bunkers or howitzers, I began using nothing but Krypton missiles
as they're provided in unlimited supply, damage any opponent, fire rapidly and
demand less accuracy. In other words, they're superior to bullets in every way. So
much for variety. Alas, using the missiles propels the game into a whole new world
of dumb. Depicted as nothing more than an opaque yellow circle, each missile is
accompanied by a flatulent spurt. That's the extent of the LX-FX3's "awesomeness";
it suppresses cartoon tanks via bulbous yellow gastric emissions. Charming.
In a surprising and apparently unfounded show of confidence, Sega hungrily snatched

this game from the jaws of a smaller company in order to publish it themselves.
Entranced by hollow FMV promises and the allure of an interactive Saturday morning
cartoon, my young and innocent heart stood no match for the slick "Welcome to the
Next Level" lines peddled by Sega in countless magazines. I really wanted to love
Cobra Command but thinking about how much it cost depresses me in a way that only a
really disappointing and worthless game can. Don't waste your time as I wasted
mine; leave this one for the vultures.

_________________________
Long ago, the dark god Arliman was defeated and confined within the Jewel of
Darkness. The Grand Wizard Gilliam, keeper of the jewel, trained a multitude of
disciples to ensure that Arliman would forever be contained. He hoped to rid the
land of Cheshire of evil by preventing the evil one's return. Nothing was more
important to him than saving his kingdom from this almost certain destruction.
However, Velonese, master apprentice to Gilliam, betrayed the principles of his
training and began practicing the dark arts. His punishment was severe, as Gilliam
bestowed upon him the curse of immortality and forced him to guard the Jewel of
Darkness for all time alone on the island of Viosdia. The foul spirit of Arliman
slowly tainted the weak Velonese, and along with three hundred years of solitude,
made his thirst for revenge overwhelming.
Velonese summoned four elemental demons from his body and commanded them to attack
Cheshire while he prepared for Arliman's return. His armies were swift, laying
waste to everything in their path and sparing no one. All the free kingdoms fell
except for Quentin. King Wynrick VIII himself was slain defending the kingdom and
now a successor must be chosen or Arliman's minions will cast a dark shadow over
the land and he will rule for all time.
Sounds cool, huh?
It is. Dark Wizard is the kind of game you quickly overlook, but love once you
actually begin playing it. It's very well done and has a deep and involving
storyline that will enthrall RPG and strategy gamers alike. It's a shame it was
released so late into the Sega CD's life span, as I'm sure more gamers could have
enjoyed it had the soon-to-be-released Saturn not killed the momentum of everything
Genesis-related.
The game is played from four different storylines. Armer, Wynrick's son and heir,
seeks vengeance for his father's death in addition to wanting to stop Arliman's
return. Robin, Cheschire's finest warrior, is bound by loyalty and determinedly
takes up the mantle of savior. Amon is the ruler of Cheshire's undead and will
share the night with no one, not even Arliman himself. Finally, the sorceress
Krystal, tricked by Velonese into doing his bidding, has vowed to destroy him in
order to redeem herself.
Each character's story is told through lengthy and very well done animated cut
scenes. Although each of them begins on different paths, eventually it all comes
together, as they all have the same common goal. All four heroes are worth playing
through with, although I found Amon to be the coolest, as he's not bound by
morality or nobility. Robin's storyline is interesting as well, and I'm currently
playing through the game again with her.
As strategy/RPGs go, Dark Wizard is one of the best on any console. Although it
cannot compare graphically to modern entries in the genre such as Final Fantasy
Tactics and Ogre Battle , its gameplay and depth are more than equal to anything
put out since its release back in 1994. Fans of the genre will instantly recognize
the similarities to Dragon Force and that is a good thing. If you liked that game,
you'll like DW , plain and simple.
The main characters each command an army of creatures, such as centaurs, serpents,
dragons, and Rocs, that can be summoned, or humanoids (human, elf, dwarf, or
hobbit) that can be hired. Summoning eats up magic points, so you must be careful
not to go crazy or you'll end up unable to cast that much needed heal spell or
offensive magic. Hiring requires gold, which is acquired from battles. Armies gain
experience in battle, and change classes every 5 or 10 levels. Humanoids will
change class depending on their alignment, and this determines what weapons they
can use and against which enemies they are strongest. You can choose to have them
become mages, priests, fighters, warriors, soldiers, etc. You can summon or hire up
to six characters per turn, one for each empty space adjacent to your leader.
Your troops move by way of a hex map, which lets you see how far they can travel in
a given round. Airborne creatures can move farthest, but are generally weaker. Slow
moving troops, such as dragon-pups, can take a lot of punishment but hold up the
rest of your forces on the way to battle. Serpents are strong as hell but move like
snails over land. They're best used when water is nearby, as they have potentially
the best movement rate of any of your ground-based forces.
A handy menu screen is accessed via the A button and allows you to check your
stats, search for items, use magic, equip items, save your game, rest to regain
strength, or end your turn. The C button executes all attacks. Actual gameplay is
very simple. It's knowing which enemy is most vulnerable to certain attacks that
makes the game challenging.
I found that turning off the battle scenes sped things up greatly. They're not much
to look at anyway, with both creature/humanoids just exchanging blows against a
black background. The text-based battles are quicker and don't detract from the
game at all. You'll be too busy healing your characters, plotting how best to reach
the enemy warlord's stronghold, entering villages and towns to acquire info and
items from citizens, and just having a whole lot of fun overall.
Once a battle is won, you'll be taken to a menu screen where you can buy equipment
for your troops, send out search parties to find rare items or visit towns, save,
and to check your conquests.
Right off the bat, the majority of gamers will take issue with the game's looks.
Yes, it looks ancient by today's standards, with small sprites and minimal detail.
As most strategy fans will tell you though, graphics aren't what these games are
about. They do the job decent enough and are by no means horrible, but one look at
these screen shots will have most people hoping the story and gameplay are as deep
as they're said to be.
My advice is to remember that the game is almost a decade old and to not judge it
by looks alone. I'm sure that once you boot it up and get into battle the graphics
will become irrelevant. The game is too much fun to be ignored because of
aesthetics alone.
Nothing is better than great music in a game and Dark Wizard has an excellent
soundtrack that is definitely worth listening to on its own. Although the songs
aren't long (less than 4 minutes each, mostly) they are splendidly arranged and
orchestrated. Each of the four main characters has his/her own theme, and while
most of the tunes are red book, there are some that cannot be accessed from the CD
itself. Fortunately, SegaXtreme has the entire soundtrack available for your
listening pleasure.
In-game sounds are forgettable and easily the game's weakest feature. It was
slightly underwhelming to hear the cartridge-quality sounds when such great music
plays in the background. Magic effects are especially lame.
There are over 20 minutes of voice in the game, and I found the lip-synching to be
very well done. However, most of the voices are totally devoid of emotion and this
hurts the quality of the scenes greatly. The king died? Express your grief in
monotone! Not the best work but good enough I suppose.
If you're a strategy/RPG fan, the question is academic. You'll be all over this
game from the get-go. Casual fans of either genre might take some time to warm up
to its dated look but will enjoy it once they start to play.
I can wholly recommend Dark Wizard not only as one of the best games on the Sega
CD, but as one of the best console strategy/RPG games ever released. Take some time
to hunt this one down and spend some time in Quentin. You won't regret your
purchase.

Demolition Man is a game based on the 1993 movie by the same name. As with the
movie, the game takes place in a dystopian Los Angeles, in 1996. John Spartan is
the country?s most fearsome cop and hunts his nemesis, Simon Phoenix. However in
doing so, he kills several innocent civilians and both characters are sentenced to
cryostasis rehabilitation where they will be brainwashed for 30 years. However the
brainwashing does not go as planned and upon waking up, Phoenix goes on a new crime
spree. However in 30 years the world has also changed and Los Angeles has become
San Angeles, a utopian and violence-free society. As a remnant of a more violent
past, police officer John Spartan is once again sent to capture Phoenix.
Demolition Man is a fast-paced platform game, with some levels taking place in an
overhead perspective (similar to Smash TV). As John Spartan, the player will spend
most of his time shooting endless waves of "cryocons" released upon the antiseptic
world of the future. The standard weapon can be upgraded with a shotgun and magnum,
both with limited ammo. Additionally, various types of grenades can be collected,
which are thrown independently of the firearm. Simon Phoenix appears as a boss
character at the end of every level that is directly tied in with the movie.
The Sega CD version of the game retains identical levels and gameplay, but adds
digitized clips from the film to introduce levels and advance the plot.

[CD - DOUBLE SWITCH]

Double Switch
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Movie Adaptio
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1994
Publisher: SEGA
_________________________
Another entry into Sega's TruVideo productions, Double Switch is actually one of
the better FMV games for the Sega CD. It's also the FMV game that I've spent the
most time playing. This is due to how hard the gameplay is! Still, if you are
looking for some very cheesy acting, something to laugh at, and a game that will
keep you challenged for a long time, then Double Switch might be a CD worth looking
for!
Double Switch stars technical genius Eddie. He has been living in this ancient
mansion which has recently been turned into an apartment building, so Eddie has
quite a few friends to converse with. There are a few things that set this building
apart from others. One, there is rumored to be a very sought after and very
powerful treasure hidden somewhere in the building. Two, there are quite a few
burglars that try to sneak in and steal things. Three, Eddie has devised a host of
traps to take care of these thieves, but while working in the basement, Eddie
became trapped, and his security controls were switched off! That's where you come
in! The goal of the game is to stop the thieves, get Eddie out of the basement, and
ultimately see if you can discover the secret of the mansion.
Sound easy? Well, it's not. The screen is split up in four quadrants. The top left
quadrant is a map of the building. Multi-colored dots on the map indicate the
people in certain rooms, so if you see red dots that means you have to go to that
room and stop a thief! The top right section is where the video takes place. The
bottom left side will display how many thieves you've captured and how many have
gone free.
The trap control panel is on the bottom right side of the screen. The rooms will
have different traps, but you have to arm the traps and set them off at the right
time to get them to work. For example, say there is a burglar in one room and the
trap for that room is the fireplace. When the burglar touches the fireplace, you'll
have to have the trap set and loaded quickly beforehand and then press the A button
to activate the trap. If you got it done at the right time, then you'll watch as
our hapless burglar falls to his comical doom.
While it doesn't seem like activating traps and setting them off at the right time
is that hard, it's the amount of action that occurs that makes it very difficult.
There is just too much going on, and there is no way that you can capture all of
the villains. Furthermore, you have to make sure you don't overload the traps by
setting too many of them, and you always have to watch the map to see if someone
enters the storage room to flip the main power switch, if that happens it's game
over.
To make matters worse, Double Switch also throws other challenges at you. In the
first section, you have to find four different unlock codes to help Eddie out. To
get these you have to be in the right rooms at the right times and stick around
long enough to catch the hidden codes. Many times, however, there will be bad guys
in multiple rooms at once, and that is not even including the story scenes! It's
impossible to catch all of the story of Double Switch in even a few play throughs,
because you aren't given enough time to watch them; you have to always be on your
toes with your traps. This gets more complicated later on when you have to keep
your traps from hurting your friends, so the gameplay is very difficult.
But despite the really harsh difficulty, there is a unique charm to this very campy
game. The characters are great fun, and the acting is so bad it's awesome. The
video quality comes off good enough, since it is restricted to a box in the right
hand corner of the screen, and there are a lot of funny scenes to be found within.
Likewise, character's voices come across smoothly, and Thomas Dolby did the music,
though you won't often notice it because you'll be concentrating on the traps. In
terms of the audio and visuals, it actually comes across quite nice, but it's just
a shame that you can't enjoy it all due to the intense gameplay!
Double Switch is a game that you are not going to beat in a night, nor is it a game
that you'll likely beat within a week, and it will and probably take much longer
than that. There is just far too much to do in terms of arming and disarming the
traps that it really hampers the overall game; however, compared to other FMV
games, it has a charmingly campy B-movie atmosphere, and there's a lot to laugh at,
if you can find the time to listen to the characters. With the difficulty toned
down, this could have been a potentially great FMV game, but as it stands, it's
something that many gamers will just give up on in frustration. This is truly a
concept that just wasn't switched on to its full potential.

Dracula Unleashed
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Movie Adapt
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1993
Developer: ICOM Simulations
Publisher: SEGA
_________________________
After playing the awful Bram Stoker's Dracula, I was weary of trying another
Dracula game on the Sega CD. However, Dracula Unleashed, a Sega TruVideo
production, is actually a fairly impressive full motion video, point-and-click
adventure game. It starts off a little slow, but once you get a hold of the game
play, there is plenty for players to sink their teeth into!
The game's story takes place ten years after the events described in Bram Stoker's
original story. Players now follow Alexander Morris, as the shadowy streets of
London become the feeding ground for a series of grizzly murders. Familiar faces
like Jonathan Harker and Dr. Van Helsing will aid you on your quest to solve the
mystery of the recent deaths. Could it be that Dracula has returned?
Being a live action full motion video game, the story and characters are very
important. I'm happy to report that the story is fairly interesting, as well as the
characters. Now, the acting is clearly B-movie material and is incredibly cheesy.
Once you add in the lame special effects, the game just takes on the feel of a low
budget horror film. I enjoyed this campy atmosphere though.
At first, it seems like there are a lot of different options on what to do. At the
bottom of the screen is a bar of options, and the first is the journal option. This
allows you to jot down notes and hear clues on what to do next. There is also the
option to see what time it is, as certain events will only happen at certain places
at certain times. You can speed up time as well. There is a map, which is actually
fairly useless, and a help screen on how to navigate the options.
One important aspect of the game is the item system. By being in the right place at
the right time, Alexander will sometimes receive necessary items from various
characters. Alexander must then equip these items to his hand, before he needs to
use them. For example, you must have the rose item attached to your hand when
entering a certain house, otherwise the cut scene that progresses the story will
not trigger. Some of the item sprites are really hard to make out, so it's not
always clear what you even have in your inventory.
On the main screen of every location, a carriage will be present. Clicking this
will allow Alexander to ride to different locations. Going to different locations
takes up different amounts of time, so you really have to plan where you want to
go. Dracula Unleashed is a bit on the difficult side, in that it is not always
clear where one should go next, or what item one should present at what time. If
you fail to trigger certain cut scenes or fail to bring the right item, then
Alexander will meet his demise. The game takes place over a four day period, and
what is really awesome is that the game is split over two disks! But forget to do
something on disk one, and you might find yourself having to start all over, even
if you get into the second disk. This does add some frustration to the game.
But, maybe Because they split the game over two disks, that might be the reason why
the graphics look as good as they do! While the graphics are not full-screen, they
take up a large amount of it, and they look pretty good for the most part. They
almost seem to reach the beauty of the cut scenes in The Adventures of Batman and
Robin! The sprites for the menus and the backgrounds also look nice. What's more,
the loading time is fantastic! This game loads surprisingly fast, so technically,
there is a lot to be impressed with here.
With over 140 scenes to view, you can bet there is going to be a lot of dialogue
and thankfully, the music and voices both come across as well as the graphics!
Characters sound crystal clear, and the tunes in the game are the standard moody
horror jingles. None of the music is really memorable, but at least it all sounds
clear and solid.
Since the difficulty leans on the harder side, this one might keep you playing for
a while if you don't consult a walkthrough. It's possible to beat the game in
around two hours, and by then you will have seen a load of different cut scenes.
It's really amazing how much the developers crammed onto these two disks. Still,
once you beat it, the mystery and thrill of the story will not seem as fresh.
What a breath of fresh air for Dracula to have a good game on the Sega CD! It's
visually impressing, and the voices all come across crisply. It's chock full of FMV
scenes, and it's a game you won't be beating in one night. While the game might be
too unclear in where to go and what to do next, and the desire to play might not be
too high after you beat it, this is still a solid FMV title on the Sega CD. The
campy nature will either lure players in or keep them away, so those annoyed with
bad acting might not care for the acting. Still, if you play only one Dracula game
on the Sega CD, make it Dracula Unleashed!

[CD - DRAGONS LAIR]

Dragon's Lair
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Movie Ada
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1994
Developer: ReadySoft
Publisher: ReadySoft
Players: 1
_________________________
Dragon's Lair is one of the most well-known full motion video games ever made.
Originally appearing in the early eighties as a laser disc coin-op, ports and
sequels have graced many different consoles, including the Sega CD. When Dragon's
Lair first hit arcades, it was something new and exciting.; however, when it
reached the Sega CD, it was up against a slew of other FMV releases. Sadly,
nostalgic value and name recognition are not enough to save this port from burning
up in despair.
The story is the cliche "save the Princess from the evil villain" (this time a
dragon). Only this time, the hero is the bumbling Dirk the Daring, a goofy looking
armor-clad idiot who screams and grunts his way through his adventure. Along the
way, Dirk does encounter some memorable baddies, such as the mud men and the Lizard
King, but the story lacks any real point other then to get Dirk from one room of
the castle to the next.
Sound familiar? Yeah, Revenge of the Ninja is basically the same plot and the same
game, only with a goofy ninja hero, and much easier gameplay. Oddly enough, even
the ninja's orange outfit vaguely resembles Dirk's suit. But is this game really
worth copying? Dragon's Lair is frustratingly annoying, making it too hard for its
own good sometimes. I was stuck at the first scene in the game, and must have used
up a few continues (of five lives each) to figure out what to do. Dirk walks across
a bridge, falls in, and these tentacles approach. Now, the logical thing in my mind
is to have Dirk push up and get back on the bridge. However, Dirk must swing his
sword with the B button at just the right time to slay the tentacles, and then push
up at just the right time to avoid the remaining ones. Whereas Revenge of the Ninja
or Time Gal would flash or have an arrow showing you where to go, Dragon's Lair
relies more on trial and error for the gameplay.
This type of gameplay makes the game much more difficult. Add the fact that there
are no options at all, and you can not adjust the difficulty, giving you have one
hard game. There are some areas where things flash and give you clues on where to
go and what to do, but more often then not, be prepared to die countless times.
Also, more emphasis is placed on timing. It's not enough that you press the B
button to swing your sword, you have to press it at just the right time, not too
soon or too late, to make sure Dirk lives. Often times, I know I was pressing the
right buttons, but if I was just a bit off, then Dirk died.
Fortunately, the graphics are at least decent. The animation even takes up most of
the screen, and although it is a little grainy, it comes across nice enough. There
are around twenty-five different rooms, and the game is creative in a sense in that
there are quite a lot of challenges and ways for Dirk to die. Giant rolling balls,
killer bats, ghosts, electric floor panels, creepy tentacles, deadly whirlpools,
and a whole lot of other traps and baddies await him.
The thing is, Dirk will be taking on these obstacles with nary a sound but his own
high pitched shrieks, and the occasional sound effects. The only music in Dragon's
Lair that I remember, was in the opening intro, and the final room with the Dragon.
Every time you die, start a level, or get a game over, you hear a little jingle of
a few notes of music, but nothing that lasts more then three seconds. Even the
ending credits don't have music. I found Dirk's yelps of pain to be funny at times,
but I wish there was more sound.
With only one difficulty level (and that difficulty being on the tough side), no
options, and a cliched, very short ending, it's not worth it to play through to the
end, if you're even able to make it that far. There is a button code you can input
to watch each death scene of each room, and for fans who want to see every
animation in the game, this is great. It also helps frustrated players pass by the
harder rooms of the game.
I know Dragon's Lair is one of the more famous FMV games around, but the
competition was so fierce on the Sega CD that this port should have gotten an
upgrade. At the very least, it should have included some options to adjust the
difficulty, more music should have been added, and the controls shouldn't have been
so challenging. FMV games walk a fine line in that they usually get panned for
being too hard or too easy, and while Dragon's Lair is over in under an hour
(depending on how many times you die), it's just a frustrating journey to the
princess. This is one dragon I won't be slaying again anytime soon.

[CD - DUNE]
Dune
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Strategy
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1993
Developer: Cryo Interactive
_________________________
Based on the legendary Frank Herbert novel of the same name and visually inspired
by the 1984 David Lynch movie, Dune is a strategy-adventure hybrid where the player
takes the role of young Paul Atreides, the son of Duke Leto. The Emperor Shaddam
Corrino IV has given the Atreides House the rights to manage the extraction of the
most precious substance in the entire universe - the Melange, commonly known as
Spice in the desolate desert planet Arrakis (Dune), the only place in the universe
capable of producing the substance. While everything indicates the offer is a trap
orchestrated by their enemies the Harkonnen, the Atreides family agrees on moving,
as he who controls the spice, controls the universe.
The player arrives in Arrakis with the mission of contacting and convincing the
Fremen tribes residing in sietches (desert settlements) near the Atreides palace to
harvest the spice. Harvesting is the most important part of the game, required to
purchase equipment from the smugglers and appease the emperor. To speed up the
process of harvesting, the player can equip the tribes with harvesters to increase
production and ornis to protect them from the gigantic protectors of the planet:
Shai-Hulud - the sandworms.
However, the spice doesn't last forever and new sietches must be prospected before
having a mining crew assigned, but the player cannot run Southwards forever, as the
Harkonnen enemy controls the North of the Planet, dangerously close to the Atreides
Palace. Soon after the initial batches are sent to the Empreror, the player will
have to actively deal with the Harkonnen, who will try to take control of player
Sietches. For those, Fremen tribes can be assigned to military training with Gurney
Halleck, but before doing such work Paul must have a certain reputation, gained by
the control of Arrakis.
As the game advances, the player will untap Paul's latent powers, as well as
meeting other characters from the Dune universe, such as Duke Leto, Jessica, Thufir
Hawat, Duncan Idaho, Harah, Chani, Stilgar and Liet Kynes, the mastermind behind
the ecological plans on Dune - the ultimate goal.

[CD - DUNGEON EXPLORER]

Dungeon Explorer
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1994
Developer: West One
Publisher: SEGA
_________________________
Not known for its huge array of RPGs, the Sega CD was practically an afterthought
in the minds of gamers by the time Dungeon Explorer was released. By then, the
Saturn and Playstation was dominating the press and many games slipped to the
cracks into obscurity (see Ristar & Gunstar Heroes ). The fact that DE was a
Gauntlet clone and a port of a TurboGrafx game did little to help it catch the
market's attention, and the game was promptly forgotten. I myself was a bit
skeptical of it until I snagged a copy for about $6. Once I played it, my opinion
quickly changed.
Even though it was originally released for the TurboGrafx, the Sega CD game is
quite different. First of all, it only supports up to four players as opposed to
five (via Turbo Tap), has a save option, and supports the RAM cart. The soundtrack
is also CD quality. Add the fact that it lets you choose from only six classes
instead of eight, and you have the only major differences. The rest are mostly
cosmetic and can be overlooked, depending on your preference. I personally prefer
the Sega CD version, as it looks and sounds better. Not having to use passwords was
also a big plus for me.
Choose from knight, elf, beast, ninja, monk, or mage and set out to find the
Goddess of Ambition. She is being held in the mazes beneath the Darkling Tower and
will grant a wish to anyone who rescues her. Yeah, the story is about as fresh as a
crack whore at dawn, but it's enough to hold everything together. I always wondered
how a goddess powerful enough to grant wishes got taken captive in the first place,
but...
In-game controls are simple enough. The A button brings up your status menu, where
you can see your current level, experience, stats, and equipment. The C button
fires your weapon, and the B button is for your "Body Force," a strong magical
attack that varies depending on the character you're using. You can hold up to nine
of them and while some are more powerful than others, they're all pretty cool to
look at so I suggest experimenting to see which one suits you best.
Life is measured in "food points" which diminish as you take damage or use energy.
When it runs out, you begin to lose life force and die when it reaches zero. You
can replenish your food points by finding food potions or camp pots, or by taking a
trip back to the Gardens of Destiny (your starting point). Many of the powerups are
hidden behind locked doors so you'll have to collect keys to access them all. You
can store all the items you find, making things a bit easier for long hauls through
the multiple levels of each dungeon. Having that extra angel wing can come in handy
when things get tough.
As you battle your way through all six dungeons, you'll gain valuable experience
that will allow you to go up in level, increasing your strength and life point
total. Unlike the TG version, where you could only level up after defeating a boss,
the Sega CD version lets you do so in regular combat. This gives you an edge when
facing a particularly tough boss, as you can hang around and whup some butt until
you're ready to face him. You can also go into town to purchase weapons and
equipment using the gold you acquire in battle. It's vital that you scour every
inch of each dungeon, as once you defeat a boss you're not allowed to return.
Whereas the TG game made better use of color, Dungeon Explorer on the Sega CD has
greater detail and better graphics overall. Water effects look nicer, and the
game's look benefits overall from the extra processing power. Everything just looks
so much clearer and cleaner. After playing it on CD, the game just looked too bare
for me on the Turbo when I went back to compare. Magic effects have improved as
well. While I'm not a graphics whore, I just couldn't get into this title on
HuCard. The Sega CD version beats it handily in this department.
There is no comparison here between the two versions of the game. A red book
soundtrack is almost always better and DE does not disappoint. The music is simply
awesome. From the Conanesque main theme to the oriental style of the Samurai
dungeon, each tune fits its dungeon perfectly. Songs range from adventurous with a
beat to fast and heavy during boss battles and make a world of difference. You will
be playing this with the volume turned up, I assure you.
The character sounds are clear and well done, but the sound effects in general are
very middle-of-the-road and don't stand out except for their clarity. I do wish the
game had taken advantage of the extra storage space for some voice but sadly there
isn't any in the game, with the exception of your typical "ohh" and "yum"-type
sounds when food and items are taken.
Where the game really shines is in multi-player mode. Tackling the dungeons with
four friends (viva la multi-tap!) makes for tremendous fun and adds a great new
experience for those who have only played alone. Watch each others back, compete
for powerups, even lend each other cash to buy weapons! This is the way the game
was meant to be played and since the game will probably run you more than the
multi-tap itself, there really is no added expense for this awesome feature. I
haven't played with more than three people at once, so I don't know if the
difficulty is ramped up with four. It was pretty hard with three and the single
player game is almost as difficult.
Whether you're looking for another game to play with some friends or are just
looking for another quality title for your Sega CD, Dungeon Explorer is a game
worth buying. I won't go so far as to say it's better than its TG cousin, as that
game has its own merits and is well worth playing. This version just has enough to
give it its own legs and it makes good enough use of the CD-ROM format to merit a
purchase. Besides, how many multi-player games are there on the Sega CD?

Genre: Platformer
Gametype: Licensed
Release Year: 1995
Developer: Playmates
Players: 1
_________________________
When they say "Special Edition", they aren't lying. This game here is everything
the Genesis and SNES games were, times a million. Take the Genesis game, throw in
longer levels, an extra gun, a KILLER soundtrack, an EXTRA LEVEL and you will
forget all about those awkward loading times. For me it all began when I played the
Genesis version at my friends house and fell in love. I had to have a copy of my
own and started saving. I saved pennies off the ground, quarters from in the couch,
I even took the money out of the change cup they have next to the cash register at
the convenience store. It took me forever but finally I had the money together for
the game
Whatever, I had a lot of time to read the manual cover to cover... Twenty-five
times.
To get the only downside to the game out of the way, I am going to discuss the
controls. I am not saying they are awful; Jim moves around very easily, and using
the head whip is simple. Jumping from platform to platform is also great. Where the
controls should of been worked on a little are when you helicopter (you spin your
head around to slow your fall) and they should have improved the option to change
weapons (which they later fixed in the sequel). In the final level, you will ruin
your thumbs trying to maneuver about the deep pit avoiding the spiked walls. Weapon
changing is not much of a hassle throughout the game if you want to conserve plasma
guns or homing missiles, which are the additional weapons given to you in SE, but
if you forget to get rid of them before certain parts you are hung out to dry.
One particular point I can remember is when you fight the cat at the end of What
the heck. That annoying lil' bugger will take a few hits at you before you can get
rid of all your plasmas and missiles which are almost useless on him. Other then
that I have no complaints.
As for the rest of the game, it is art. Graphically EWJ:SE is amazing. Who said the
Sega Genesis had a limited color palette? You could never tell in this game (along
with most of the greats). Each level seems alive and vibrant and the artists made
great use of what colors they had. It feels as if the game was made just for the
Genesis and not as a cross platform release. Throw in a bit of pre-rendered
graphics with some of the sprites and this game gets even better. You even get
treated to some decent scaling in the "andy asteroid" levels which look very nice
on the Genny, which supposedly isn't able to do scaling on hardware (of course some
software tweaks take care of that). The Sega CD version doesn't seem to take
advantage of the hardware's true scaling though, it would of been nice to see the
level scale much smoother. It is still nice either way.
The soundtrack is to die for. I will admit, I still carry this game around with me
today in my CD case and listen to it. Actually, I am listening to it right this
moment. The theme to Snot a Problem is really good and listening to For Pete's Sake
brings back memories of my screaming at the TV and throwing the controller. Boy was
that level hard, especially when I ALWAYS have to go for the second doghouse with
the satellite dish as opposed to the junky first house. The music is a mixed
ensemble of techno, orchestral, and rock depending on the level; and each track
fits its level perfectly. Most memorable for me is the ambient track for Intestinal
Distress. Who would ever think a mix of gastral belches and gurgles could sound so
eerie and gothic? I am eternally upset that I have a scratch on my disc for that
track.
The Sega CD version of Earthworm Jim is graced with much longer levels than its
cartridge counterpart. The first level in particular gets several new secret areas
and portals, along with being almost doubled in length. The extra length not only
adds on great gaming time, but makes for a really good and difficult quest. Several
new routes are marked as being easier or harder and you are rewarded on the hard
paths with extra goodies like plasma guns, health, and even free lives. Best of
all, we even get a whole extra level starring one of the ugliest, most annoying,
and ghastly monsters; Brutey. These buggers are blind as a bat and sense Jim when
he gets close, by smell. He will then reach out with his huge mouth and munch on
Jim like a piece of gum. The entire level was well thought out and felt as if Shiny
really tried hard to give us something good, instead of just throwing some ill-
conceived pile of poo. SE excells in every way you'd expect.
Earthworm Jim Special Edition is longer, harder, and gives us everything we should
expect from a expanded version for the Sega CD from the Genesis. And when I say
hard, I mean that this game can be hard. Don't just play it on normal, go for the
gusto and put it on difficult, and you will be greeted will a well-tuned machine to
test your platforming abilities and reward you with the greatest ending of all
time. As Shiny says, "I'm the best...I'm the best...I'M THE BEST!"

Adolescence is a difficult time for girls and boys. Apparently it's a difficult

Ecco's is an oceanic adventure filled to the brim with creativity, complexity and
even a dash of mystery. It's an adventure that will try your patience for each of
its thirty aquatic levels, six of which are exclusive to the stereosonic Sega CD
revision. Through the miracle of digital evolution, Ecco the Dolphin has acquired
an entirely original soundtrack courtesy of one "Spencer Nilsen", an unjustly-
maligned composer who deserves credit for his darkly evocative accompaniment to
Ecco's journey through coral reefs, lagoons, sunken cities, shipwrecks, and time
itself. In this decidedly superior but less-popular CD rendition, Ecco has also
gained the ability to use mysterious crystal glyphs as checkpoints (rather than
continue from level's beginning after death), an ability that loosens the absurd
tension of the Genesis incarnation without negating the forceful impact of the
undersea creature onslaught or diminishing the challenge of the intricate puzzle
network.
Take a breath!
Flip through the clear evening sky, admire the gradient orange glow of the setting
sun, and draw in a single lung's worth of life-sustaining air before diving bottle-
nosefirst into the murky depths below. Strong undercurrents force Ecco back to the
surface but, by intelligently clinging to a sinking rock, our intrepid dolphin can
divert the undercurrents' push and descend through the vents from the dark depths
of the blue sea to the even darker, even deeper violet undersea.
Such panoramic displays of color convey the angelic beauty of Ecco's world from the
earliest levels to the last. In the polar stage, dark Arctic waters cut canals
between lavender blocks of crystalline ice. A cap of stark white snow and sharp
frozen spires separate the vivid blue ocean from the sky, which is itself a rainbow
representation of the Aurora Borealis. The shadowy silhouette of a distant mountain
range adds a subtle complexity, its jagged form contrasting against the cloudless
heavens.
Beneath that angelic beauty rages an aquatic hell. The polar ocean is literally
stuffed with tiger sharks, their brown and white forms imposing a frightening
blemish against the dark blue serenity. With bodies scaled in flesh-gashing
denticles and mouths lined by twin sets of spiky teeth, these insatiate predators
evoke an instinctive panic. Diving to the craggy ocean floor won't save you; where
even requiem sharks fear to swim, the spiders dwell! Due to an artistic mishap,
what were meant to be underwater crabs look more like Resident Evil tarantulas.
From a marine biologist's view, it's a laughable blunder; from an impressionable
young gamer's view, it's an unexpected and terrifying moment.
Don't let Ecco drown in fear. Dart to the surface for a burst of fresh air!
In the shallow surface waters, a school of golden pompanos merrily swim about,
peacefully minding their own business. Wise dolphins will take advantage of these
blissfully harmless fish . . . by eating them. All of them. No dolphin can survive
for long without bloodying the beautiful marine ecosystem, not even an innocently
gregarious dolphin like Ecco! Slave to the cycle of life, he feeds only on those
weaker than himself to replenish his strength and heal injuries.
Make no mistake; there's a lot more to the game than conserving air and vitality.
New obstacles are constantly introduced with each scene. Ecco the Dolphin initially
comes across as arbitrarily-organized and impossible to decipher, but after a steep
but surmountable learning curve, you'll soon become accustomed to Ecco's
lasciviously smooth control and intellectual style of play. You might sport a few
bumps and bruises as you learn how best to vault over rocky crags or belly-flop
across ice floes but, with a level or two under your fin, you'll come to realize
that the level layout is meticulously prepared such that puzzles overlap and build
upon each other, weaving a mesh of intricacy unrivaled in most adventure games.
Early levels demand the stealth of Solid Snake himself to avoid the watchful eye
and flailing tentacles of the giant octopus "Eight Arms".
Later levels incorporate Sonic-style secret passages containing hidden statues.
These Minoan sculptures grant temporary invincibility, a power that is necessary to
survive without air for extended periods. And Ecco will need to survive without air
for extended periods to successfully push ridiculously heavy blocks across
jellyfish-crammed pits so as to smash the sturdy iron chains that bar his path.
Some of the cuter challenges are optional, such as the early quest to return three
lost dolphin children to their doting mother. Guide Ecco through nooks and
crannies, contact the children, and carefully herd them back to their home. As a
reward, the loving mother dolphin teaches Ecco the secret song of death. This song
helps a lot when our playful hero feels the urge to murder countless marine
creatures.
You could try to count, but it'd be a futile effort. The staggering diversity of
underwater life, from the extinct to the beautiful and mysterious, lends the game
an otherworldly quality. In the mistitled "Jurassic" levels (Silurian would be more
appropriate), Ecco encounters temporally displaced trilobites, shell-wearing
nautiloids, and rhipidistians. With mouths as full of teeth as their name is full
of letters, these uncouth but agile carnivores eventually gave rise to all land
animals. You'd never know it from their underwater prowess; with slender, scaly
green bodies, an ability to streak through the water at ludicrous speed, and a
dangerous affinity for tender dolphin flesh, the eel-like rhipidistians are some of
the most ferocious deepwater beasts you'll face. Adorned with puzzles and armed
with opposition, Ecco the Dolphin guides you by the nose through some of the most
surreal and exciting moments in Earth's aquatic history.
These memorable scenes are decked out with some of the coolest names on the planet.
"Volcanic Reef". "Sea of Silence". "Trilobite Circle". "Welcome to the Machine".
Even the levels with slightly less intriguing names are still important. In "Deep
Water", you'll meet your corpulent mentor Big Blue; this enormous whale's sage
advice sets you on a path that eventually leads to the "City of Forever", where
Ecco will find the answers to many of his questions. Why do air-breathing animals
live beneath the waves? Where do dolphins come from? How can Ecco possibly defeat a
Unicron-like menace, in particular a Unicron-like menace that insultingly
regurgitates Ecco's dolphin friends right back in his face?
The thing about Ecco the Dolphin that everyone always forgets is that it's one of
the greatest games of all time. People always forget this because after playing
Ecco, you'll be so intellectually drained that you won't want to do anything but
lie in bed and read sappy romance manga (I recommend Mars) all night long until you
doze off into a fitless, exhausted sleep. To paraphrase Tommy T, "It's great while
it lasts but once it's over, it's over". Like a first serious steady, this game
will control your life and tax your emotions . . . and you'll love it all the more
for demanding such strong devotion.
Then, once it's ended, you'll hate the game for the weeks of mental health it stole
from you. But someday, perhaps on whim or fancy, your mind will turn to the past
and you'll find yourself enraptured in Ecco's aquatic land of wonder and mystery
all over again. At that moment you'll come to realize: "This game deserved my
innocence". It's an important adventure that every gamer should experience at some
point in her life.
I'm sure that Ecco himself, now grown older and wiser, would feel the same.

[CD - ETERNAL CHAMPIONS]

Eternal Champions: Challengers from the Dark Side
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: VS Fighter
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1994
Developer: SEGA
Publisher: SEGA
_________________________
Fighting and blood are two things that go hand in hand. Gamers love fighting, they
love blood, and they usually love the two together like cops love doughnuts and
coffee. With all the controversy surrounding violent games, many people thought
erroneously that fighting games like Mortal Kombat would disappear after the
congressional witch hunt of the early '90s. Thankfully, the industry survived such
censorship and has even managed to get bigger, badder, and bloodier.
Not that I'm a blood fan, mind you. I get dizzy looking at a paper cut. I do,
however, recognize that one cannot put two characters in an arena and have them
battle to the death without it being messy. Developer Deep Water has taken this
simple logic to the extreme with their follow up to the 1993 hit, Eternal
Champions.
Unlike most fighters, there is a very well thought out and developed storyline
here. The timeline is unbalanced and the universe is headed for destruction due to
the deaths of several key beings. To prevent this, the Eternal Champion traveled
through time and rescued them mere moments before each was to die. He offers them a
chance to battle for an opportunity to return to life and change the future,
thereby restoring the balance. The Dark Champion, however, has hidden four
warriors, which prevents balance from happening. Now, another battle must be waged
to defeat the Dark Champion and restore the timeline.
Sounds great, huh? It is. the plot to both Eternal Champions is definitely
publishable material and it's a shame things were never concluded (thank you
Sega!). Some attempts at putting the story in plot form was attempted with a pair
of adventure game books, but nothing else was ever done.
With its expanded plot and specific extras, Challenge from the Dark Side is more of
an director's cut than a full-blown sequel. Designer Michael Latham (whom we
recently interviewed) has pushed the Sega CD to its limits, upping the playable
character count from nine to twenty-four (!), and by making the game bloodier than
its cartridge cousin - almost to the point of overkill (no pun intended). Sprites
are more detailed, speech clips have been expanded and sound clearer, and the game
is the only title on the system to push 256 colors on-screen simultaneously.
Regardless of feelings for the game itself, one must at least commend Deep Water on
their mastery of the Sega CD hardware.
The differences between both Eternal Champions titles isn't as pronounced as say,
Street Fighter & Street Fighter II. Nothing so extreme here. What has changed makes
the game a tighter, more polished experience that veterans of the cartridge version
will instantly appreciate. You still need the six-button pad (why would you play it
with anything else?), and there are still special moves and overkills. New to this
installment, however, are the Cinekills, which reward your combo prowess with a
short CGI movie showing your opponent's gruesome fate. Anyone who cringed at the
overkills from the original will want to leave the room when a Cinekill is
performed. It's that brutal!
The animation throughout each combo sequence is superb, and it will take you some
time to master all the different moves for all two dozen characters. Eternal
Champions has never been about button mashing, and the strategy and skill needed to
pull of each move is something that while difficult, is not beyond the grasp of
most gamers. I don't recommend that anyone jump right into the story mode without
training a bit first, as the computer AI is relentless. You're better off playing
some one-on-one matches with a friend first to try and learn some of the special
moves for your character. Simply mashing your way through the single player game is
much too hard to really be any fun.
Speaking of difficulty, this is perhaps the one flaw in an otherwise solid title.
The computer can be notoriously unrelenting, sometimes even cheap. This is
diminished somewhat once you master the controls of your character, but the
learning curve is steep, to say the least.
Deep Water has managed to vastly improve the presentation (you simply have to see
the Cinekills!) and double the available character count, while still maintaining
the solid and unique gameplay of the original. There aren't a lot of fighting games
on the Sega CD, but with one as good as Eternal Champions: Challenge from the Dark
Side, you won't care. A definite purchase for system owners and fighting fans.

I have always been a fan of FMV-games for some reason. It feels like when I saw the
introduction of Double Switch for the first time it looked really cool. Even if the
games sucks, I still want to play them. I don't care about what guys like the Angry
Video Game Nerd or anyone says, I want to play them all. Playing a movie sounds
weird, but with some patience you will learn how to play the games. Even if you're
playing Supreme Warrior!
When I started to collect Sega CD games, I searched around and found that the
European version of Fahrenheit is one of the rarest games for the Sega CD. I
searched for it but I couldn't found it anywhere. Until one day, when a single copy
of this game came up on Tradera, a Swedish auction page (much like eBay). I said to
myself "I am going to win that game, whatever happens", which I did. I won the game
for 235 SEK ($37 American dollars). It's a bit of money, but as I said before: I'm
an FMV fan so then it needs to be in my collection.
If you have a 32X and it's connected in your Genesis/Mega Drive, the game won't
work. The Genesis will tell you to put in CD 2 which is a CD 32X game if you have
the U.S. version, but there's no CD 2 here in Europe, so you need to disconnect the
32X if you want to play the game. Good to know.
The plot is that you're a rookie fireman. You live in a city (San Francisco?), and
your mission is to clear each stage mission, which usually means that you need to
find some object and save someone inside the building, and that's pretty much it.
On the first stage you need to find a family's daughter and check that the gas is
shut off. The second stage has you checking about 136 hotel rooms to find where all
the people in the building are.
Once you see the introduction you will probably think that the graphics are pretty
amazing for being on just the Sega CD. Whether you like this game or not, it's
amazing what they could do with the Sega CD at the time. I haven't seen the CD 32X
version, but I guess it's unbelievable.
Anyway, when the level begins, you press the D-pad to choose which direction you
should go. You can only go to the left, to the right or just straight ahead. It's
easier to move around then it looks. Sometimes you might happen to get lost, but
you can easily get on the move again pretty quick.
The music isn't perfect, but it sure works. The acting and speaking are good for
being FMV. Maybe nothing special, but it's some of the better acting in a FMV game
aside from Double Switch or something similar(compare it to Night Trap and you will
understand what I'm talking about...).
This game is absolutely not impossible like many other FMV games like Supreme
Warrior, Slam City, the Make My Video series or something like that. You have to
play the first level two or three times to get into the game and understand what
you are doing, but after that, you will probably enjoy the experience.
There are not many games where you play as a fireman, but this is probably one of
the few that Sega has done. I know there are some firemen games on Playstation 2,
Xbox or any other new console and most of them are pretty bad, but this one is
actually playable. You can enjoy it, and it's not impossible without cheating. So
if you just want to play the game, buy the U.S. version, as the European and
Japanese versions are very, very hard to find. But if you see this one at a flea
market for a good price, go for it!

_________________________
In the early 1990s, SNK made quite a name for themselves with the release of their
Neo-Geo MVS arcade system. Filled with hundreds of wonderful titles ranging from
shmups and platformers to tons upon tons of fighting games and brawlers, it was the
stuff of legend. And in this case, SNK has blessed Genesis and SNES owners with
stellar ports of many of their arcade hits. Genesis owners in particular got Art of
Fighting, King of the Monsters, Fatal Fury, and Samurai Shodown. But what of Sega
CD owners? Surely their new add-on would be more than able to handle a near perfect
conversion of some of the biggest Neo-Geo hits, right? Right?
The answer came in 1995, when JVC (under license from SNK) released conversions of
Fatal Fury Special and Samurai Shodown for the Sega CD. Both ports were handled by
European development house FunCom; they would later go on to make a name for
themselves with the PC adventure The Longest Journey.
Fatal Fury Special is, as its namesake says, a sort of "special edition" of Fatal
Fury 2, featuring returning characters Duck King and Tung Fu Rue (both of Fatal
Fury), as well as playable bosses: Billy Kane, Axel Hawk, Lawrence Blood, Geese
Howard, and big bad Wolfgang Krauser. What separated FFS from the crowd was its
gameplay. Instead of one singular plane to fight on, players could leap between two
planes to battle on, both foreground and background. You could deliver powerful
attacks between planes to knock your opponent out from jumping towards you. Also,
FFS demanded a little more technique from players; the game's AI is pretty clever
and will easily decimate a cheating or cheap opponent.
As a bonus to Sega CD owners, one exclusive character has been added: Ryo Sakazaki
of Art of Fighting fame is now a part of the roster. He looks and plays quite well,
using most of his techniques from Art of Fighting 2. Although an unusual character
to have in the line up, Ryo falls in quite well with the rest of the Fatal Fury
cast and is a welcome addition. The rest of the roster includes everyone else from
Fatal Fury 2: the original SNK spokesman Terry Bogard, his brother Andy, Muay Thai
fighter Joe Higashi, sexy ninja Mai Shiranui, Tae Kwon Do teacher Kim Kaphwan, fat
boy Cheng Shenzan, wrestler Big Bear, and old man Jubei Yamada.
Alas, every rose has its thorn. The initial presentation of FFS looks promising:
upon booting the game, you get to see the original intro in all of its glory. The
title appears complete with spoken voice: "FATAL FURY... SPECIAL!" The menu appears
just like the Neo-Geo home ports; and the character select screen looks almost
exactly like you remember it from the arcade. Then you get into the game - and
that's when it all falls apart.
To begin with, the visuals have taken a major, major hit. Not to say that the art
was badly ported, but the animation was so badly cut up that the whole game becomes
extremely choppy. The characters themselves look fine and are of a decent size for
the system; even Big Bear is nearly as big as he was in the Neo-Geo. Even with the
meager 64 colors the Genesis/CD can dole out at once, everything looks quite
colorful with minimal loss in detail. But when about 60% or more of the animation
is lost, it simply looks like crap in motion. And bad animation makes it all the
more harder to control the game, since most the time your moves animate far too
choppy, making collision rather hit-or-miss. Not a good thing when the CPU can
pound you into submission in seconds flat. On top of that, the backgrounds from the
original game were also put on the chopping block, and are missing too many
elements from their original versions. Kim's stage, for example, was teeming with
the hustle and bustle of a big city, while Duck's stage was in a nightclub,
complete with rave lights, DJs, and a huge crowd. Where is it all? Gone! Wiped
clean from existence. A bad port is getting worse.
Audio is a mixed bag. On the plus side, all of the original Neo-Geo tunes are
present and sound brilliant. The music is all CD Audio and was sampled straight
from the Neo-Geo version, in essence giving you a soundtrack CD! All of the tracks
from Fatal Fury 2 are available, and the new tracks for Duck and Tung are well
composed and fit their respective characters quite well. But the in-game sounds?
Geez, I'd expect a lot better from a system with "CD" in its name! Voices are
grainy and sound even worse than a stock Genesis; sound effects are muffled and
minimal, and even the announcer voice has been removed! Why, FunCom? The Sega CD
could not have been THAT hard to program on!
Oh, as a side note to the presentation: remember how I mentioned the arcade's intro
being preserved? Yeah, that's about the only thing FunCom got right. Most of the
stages had little intros or touches that completed them or gave them personality.
And my personal two favorites, Geese Howard and Wolfgang Krauser, got shafted big
time. In the Neo-Geo version, Geese's stage opened with you going through several
screen doors, almost in tune to the intro bars of his theme. Not in the Sega CD
version: straight into the stage you go. And Wolfgang? He had an entire orchestra
in his stage playing his theme. It seems that FunCom gave them the pink slip for
the Sega CD, because there's no one to play his theme now.
Overall, Fatal Fury Special is a sub-par port of a superb Neo-Geo game. It's
shameful, because the Sega CD was more than capable of producing an excellent port
that would've been the stuff of legend. All negativity aside, it's at least a cheap
alternative to buying a Neo-Geo and its version, plus the CD can double as a
soundtrack CD. Now that's not quite a bad thing, is it?

The game that started the best-selling series licensed by football's world
governing body, this first installment in the long running series used a dimetric
(colloquially known as "isometric") viewpoint, previously unusual in football games
but quickly imitated by several titles. The televisual presentation, one of the
unique points of the early EA Sports titles, with hosts introducing the matches,
was another thing making the game stand out from a market dominated by Sensible
Soccer and Kick Off games.
Based on international teams (with fictional player names), their abilities in each
skill area rated out of 10 to give the player an overall impression of how good
they are. The options available follow the standard set: fouls and offsides can be
toggled on and off, the match length can be set, and if the timer operates
continuously, or only while the ball is in play. Gameplay privileges quick runs,
short passes and blistering shots outside the penalty box, and set pieces are
controlled by moving a box into the target area for the ball, and then passed,
lobbed or kicked directly. On the tactical side, formations can be selected, with 5
different strategies also available (although not all of these combinations make
sense) as can the team Coverage - the areas which defenders, midfielders and
strikers cover.

_________________________
I remember when the SNES version of Final Fight hit the streets. It sold like hot
cakes and though it had been eagerly anticipated, many were returned the same day.
No Guy? No two player mode? Levels missing and names changed? Flicker and slowdown
all over the place? Many of my friends swore a Sicilian curse at Capcom that day
and were bitter over it for a long time. Never having an arcade version near me for
comparison, for a long time I couldn't see what all the controversy was about,
until I played the Sega CD version.
By then I had finally experienced the game in arcade form and although I felt no
bitterness, I could whole heartedly understand those who did. The Sega CD Final
Fight is so superior to the cartridge version that it's almost funny. I did find it
kind of amusing even, when Capcom released Final Fight Guy, as it was so rare that
no one could actually find a copy to play. Guy was now playable but Cody had been
eliminated.
Fixing everything the SNES game did wrong (or didn't even do) FF on CD goes one
step beyond. You want to play with a friend? No problem. Want to kick ass with Guy?
Go right ahead. Want to play through all the arcade levels? They're all here. Can't
stand the immense amount of flicker and slowdown? What slowdown? There's hardly any
flicker and slowdown is no worse than in the coin-op original. Unless you use an
emulator, this is as close to arcade perfect as you're going to get at home.
The Mad-Gear gang has captured the mayor's daughter Jessica and are holding her
hostage. Unfortunately for them, the mayor is former street fighter Mike Haggar,
who swears to rescue her. Joined by Jessica's boyfriend Cody and his best friend
Guy, Haggar sets out to save his daughter and free Metro City from Mad-Gear's
control. Not the most original story to be sure, but did you buy this game for the
drama? I didn't think so.
Being able to choose from all three heroes would seem fundamental, so why Capcom
skimped on including Guy in the cart release is beyond me. Thankfully, you can
choose Guy, Cody, or Haggar here. Each has his strengths and weaknesses, which
really evens out the game play in cooperative mode. Haggar is strong as an ox but
as slow as the post office. Guy is quick but doesn't do much damage. Cody is the
balanced one, and deals out moderately powerful blows with adequate speed.
Aside from the typical punches and flying kicks, each character has a few special
moves. Haggar can pile drive his foes into the ground or spin madly and smack
anything near him, while Cody flips enemies over his back and does a whirling jump
kick a la Double Dragon. Guy's moves tend to look awesome but not be really
effective, so he's best left to a two player game unless you're looking for a
challenge. I like to choose Haggar and just pile drive anything that moves. He may
not be fast but he sure can dish it out!
There are also a few weapons to be had. Knives, swords, and metal pipes all litter
the street and can be picked up. I found them to be less effective than would be
expected though, as it takes too long to actually swing the sword or pipe, leaving
you open to attack. The sword also disappears after you drop it twice so it's
almost not even worth it. Knives are handy however, and are great for taking out
multiple foes from across the screen. Fruits and chickens replenish energy and
there are also items like chains and watches that increase your score.
The colors have been toned down a bit due to the Genesis' meager color palate
(wasn't the Sega CD supposed to fix that?) and although things aren't as bright,
the level of detail seems to be a bit higher. As I've often stated, I think
developers for the Genesis were very good at making up for lack of color by working
with shadows, and FF is a great example of this. I was very pleased with the
overall look of the game as well as the fact that the characters are still huge! It
was nice to see that they weren't reduced in size as was so often the case with
arcade ports of the time. Everything is nice to look at and very easy on the eyes,
giving the game a very polished look. Female characters were given longer shirts to
make them look more presentable for the impressionable North American audience
(snicker) but the rest of the game seems to have been mercifully spared from the
censor's knife.
Obviously checking off items on their CD "to do" list, Capcom also made sure to use
the system's audio powers. Final Fight easily boasts one of the best soundtracks
around and this does much for one's enthusiasm. Nothing beats kicking butt to some
great tunes and only Streets of Rage is superior in this department. Having the
entire soundtrack in red book audio is even cooler, as you can play it at your
leisure. My hat is off to Capcom for their efforts here.
Handing someone their ass just isn't the same unless you can really hear it and as
with all beat-'em-ups, Final Fight's over-the-top effects will let all of your
neighbors know what game you're playing. Whether it's the kung-fu theater-style
smacks and punches or Haggar's famous "YEEEAAAHH," the effects are loud and sound
very clear.
All six of the stages from the arcade game are here, including the fiery factory
level and Rolento's elevator stage. Even the bonus games are here, and I always
jack up the volume to hear the classic "oh, my car!" from the first bonus stage. In
addition to the main game, there's also a time attack mode which is a pleasant
diversion.
I can't recommend Final Fight CD enough. It is second only to the arcade original
and is worth the purchase for the soundtrack alone. Bring a friend along and pump
up that stereo, there's plenty of fun to be had in Metro City...

[CD - FLASHBACK]
Flashback: The Quest for Identity
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Platformer
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1994
Developer: Delphine Software International
Players: 1
_________________________
Flashback: Quest For Identity is a number of things in and of itself. It's a game
that isn't a breakthrough accomplishment but is strikingly original. Newcomers
might be reminded of older games with its Zelda-like gameplay of discovering items,
unlocking doors, and action fight sequences; however, it has a more adult-nature to
it with its somewhat bloody violence, tactical espionage, action film-like
storyline, and basically its lack of any pointy-eared elf with a sword.
Flashback takes place in the future where the main character, Conrad is part of
some special low-profile secret project (which I'd rather let gamers discover on
their own), but he's evidently kidnapped by some sort of unknown terrorist group.
The game opens with an FMV sequence of Conrad running for his life from gun-
wielding terrorists, stealing one of their futuristic flying machines, and escaping
their base, with a large enemy stealth fighter plane flying on top of him. It fires
a blast of lasers at his machine, causing him to crash into a dense jungle directly
beneath him. The enemy apparently believes him to be dead and leaves. The dazed,
yet miraculously unharmed Conrad awakens with a tantalizing cut scene showing his
eyes slowly opening as he pulls himself up from the ground, and thus the game
begins!
Getting back to Flashback's multi-platform release, no other version of the time

really touched on the quality of the Sega CD version, other than perhaps the one
released for 3DO (I've never really played it, so I'm not sure). The Sega CD, as
expected, uses its full motion video capabilities to show off an impressive CG cut
scene of the aforementioned introduction sequence which blows away the original
Genesis introduction, which utilized rotoscope-style animation instead. This FMV
animation differs especially from the Genesis cartridge because it incorporates
voice talents into the entirety of the cut scenes, as well as all the dialogue in
the actual gameplay itself. The voice acting is ...acceptable.
Flashback contains seven levels. That may not sound impressive, but each one of
these levels is incredibly vast, and each scene of gameplay is still-frame, so you
can walk off screen to the next, expanding gameplay more and more as you progress
on. Most every screen or two offers a challenge that the player must solve in their
head in order to pass. The beginning, for example, has a large expanse that the
player must figure out how to jump over, but before doing so, some little bots may
be blocking the way and you must figure out how to destroy them.
Throughout the game you have your pistol as your only weapon, which you're able to
swing at enemies when up close (doing equal damage as when they're shot point
blank). Along the way, you will acquire many different items, most of which are
used to unlock things and progress. There is also a force field accessory you can
use to create a temporary force field over you to avoid being hurt by enemy fire
for a brief second and stones you can throw to distract enemies and send them off
in another direction while you pump them full of lead.
You can thank your lucky stars that you have unlimited ammo. Flashback offers many
different moves that can be used to your vital advantage, such as running, making
diving rolls underneath tight gaps, somersaulting across the ground, grabbing
ledges above you, holding ledges to jump down, and being able to draw your gun at
most any moment's notice.
Your ultimate mission in this game is to essentially get yourself out of this
nightmarish conundrum you are unfortunately in, so each level presents its own
unique and interesting problems that require different sub-plots to get yourself
through. One situation that comes to mind requires you to acquire money to get to
earth, and you must first go on a futuristic game show to win that money. Then, you
have to get false papers from a secret agent by paying him money, which you acquire
by doing some odd-jobs. Hilarious, no? Regardless, it's all part of the flow of the
game and is thoroughly fulfilling.
Each level is distinct and breathtaking, filled with great detail and color
(considering it's just a Genesis game). Flashback features password saves for each
level so you can continue off next time you want to play. Within each level, there
are also sub-save points. These unfortunately are where you continue off if you
die, not if you turn off your system. So you need to get through an entire level
before you can turn your set off and go to bed.
The Sega CD shows off its talents with a beautiful new-age soundtrack made for this
exclusive release, which features some of the most rich and therapeutic music I've
ever heard in a game, and it fits each level and situation like a glove. Sounds of
the jungle (and whatnot) are also incorporated into the music, although the game
does feature many sound effects independent of the CD tracks, like the fire of your
gun and all those hideous mutant warriors falling over dead, not mention all the
other countless things that go bump in the night. The soundtrack is even playable
in any CD player right off the disc.
The gameplay always sticks with the formula of side-scrolling so there is no real
variety in gaming throughout. The emphasis is truly on puzzle solving and
storyline. You're graced with a decent amount of cut scenes, most of which are
quick and succinct. It may even be slightly annoying to you that there has to be a
separate cut scene each and every time you pick something up off the ground.
Thankfully, they're loaded quickly and without hesitation.
Overall, Flashback is a game that is filled with all sorts of interesting

characters, both bad and good, tons of fun puzzles to figure out, amazing
discoveries, and twists and turns in its magnificent storyline (which also makes
many similar references to some popular sci-fi movies of the '90s). With the Sega
CD offering a terrific answer to those old cut scenes and lack of music from the
original Genesis version, this is without a doubt the definitive version of one of
the best and most inspirational sci-fi adventure games we've seen in a long time.
Why it never spawned a decent sequel is beyond my comprehension!

_________________________
I don't know what it is, there's something about reviewing games that are so bad
that no one else will bother to touch them. Maybe I'm a masochist for bad games,
but I think that it's more that. I'm just a completionist that has to see every
game known to man covered. To be honest, this was a hard game to review, and not
because I didn't know what to say about it but rather because I have plenty to
write about. It's the fact that I had to force myself to sit through Formula One
World Championship for more than a few minutes at any given time, and the only
thing that kept me playing this game was that it falls into the "it's so bad it's
funny" category. Needless to say, I got a lot of laughs out of the lazy programming
effort that this game is.
Pun intended, Formula One World Championship is truly "Beyond the Limit" as far as
low quality goes on the Sega CD. To start with, Jaguar XJ220 came out two years
earlier, and while not great in itself it was still eons better than this game in
every aspect. I played this a few times out of curiosity and for reviewing and can
only shake my head at this waste of plastic. Absolutely nothing works in this game.
The programmers got nothing right, and it's as unplayable as the worst of the Sega
CD's FMV games. Heck, it even looks as bad as an FMV title, and to top it off, Sega
produced this game, adding more to my dismay and confusion.
Before I truly start ripping the game to shreds, I want to mention its one and only
good quality: the menus. Sega succeeded in making a menu system that's professional
in appearance, has a good commentator, and some decent still photos of the cars. I
actually found it easy to navigate and select which options I wanted to play with,
but what good are the menus when the rest of the game is unplayable?
Formula One World Championship has three modes: free mode, which is just a single
race; 1993 mode, which takes scenarios that took place during the season and has
you race them (I will get into more detail further down); and the championship
mode, which lets you compete in your own season and customize your own car and
team. As soon as I started a race I immediately got lost as to what they were
trying to accomplish here.
I guess I'll start with the graphics, the resolution is so low it looks like it's
on a pre-crash console running at maybe a whole twenty frames a minute. The
backgrounds are extremely blurry and confusing, and each race looks the same,
except for the different track layout. My first race in the championship mode was
in the wintry mountains and described as slippery, but the actual track showed
clear skies, a flat track with only trees in the background and no snow and no
mountains. Every track was the same way. As far as I can tell there's absolutely no
animation in the background.
The sound is another waste too. The music in the menus and the announcer are done
quite well and sound like what we've come to expect from current consoles. On the
other hand, the cars sound like they are running with weed whacker motors, and the
audience and every other sound just drone on and on to monotony. Some gentle
background music would have done wonders to break up the tedium, but it's sadly
absent. If you want a good laugh, find a race during a rainstorm and listen to the
thunder. It may be one of the funniest sounds I've ever heard in a video game.
The gameplay is perhaps the one area that's so bad that I actually find it to be
hilarious and will often pop it in with friends just for the laughs. The
programmers obviously had no clue as to how the mechanics and physics of a race car
work, or they just didn't care, and I think it's a lot of both. As your car goes
down the track you would be fooled into thinking that every course is covered with
ice, as you have no control. If you crash into a wall you will usually just reel
back several car lengths and sometimes get stuck in corners and lose time, since
you can't go in reverse. The scenery is mostly visual, and nine out of ten times
you will never crash into another sign or object as it doesn't seem like they paid
too much attention to collision detection. It's pretty amusing to drive right
through animals and signs since they don't even move, and many times you can ram an
opponent's car a few times and pass right through it.
Don't try to brake around turns, as just tapping them will usually cause the car to
come to a complete halt. It's better to just let off the gas and slip slide around
the turns.
I mentioned the 1993 mode before, and it's easily the lamest part of the game. The
first event takes place with three laps left in a specific race from the historical
1993 season, and the weather just turned bad and the track is slippery. Your
objective is to beat an opponent racer and obtain sixth place in the overall race.
You'd think they'd start you in the middle of the race, but it places you at the
starting line, and there is only one other car besides your opponent. None of the
events actually follow the guidelines of the given scenario.
If I made a top one hundred list of worst games, Formula One World Championship
would easily be on it, as the game is really bad. By 1994 Sega had to have known
that the Sega CD was failing, and I don't know how the testing department allowed
this heap to be released. There isn't anything redeemable here, and luckily it's
cheap for collectors to obtain, as I'd have a lighter heart throwing my hard earned
cash into a paper shredder than spending it on this game and trying to sit through
another ten lap qualification round again.

Region: USA

Genre: Racin
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1993
Players: 1
_________________________
One of the Sega CD's most touted abilities was full-motion video, something that no
16-bit system of its time could accomplish. So back in 1992 or so, Digital
Pictures, a new game developer headed by Tom Zito, was churning out interesting new
games that used full-motion video to achieve a deep sense of realism and real movie
actors to create the feeling of watching a blockbuster hollywood movie. The result
often delivered games that were actually fun and had a lot of imagination. Night
Trap gave you the feeling of voyeurism with complete control over an unusual
security system. Sewer Shark placed us in the center of the Earth, desperately
trying to fly ourselves out to paradise. Ground Zero Texas, however, just went
completely wrong in every way imaginable.
Ground Zero Texas places you in the most unimaginative situation I've ever seen in
such a game. In El Cadron, a smelly, irksome, middle-of-nowhere border town of
Texas, many people have been disappearing. You know right from the start that some
alien mother ship has come to Earth and has been disguising its crew as human
beings, blending them within the population. You are undercover with the FBI (or
whoever), and you are armed with four "BattleCams" outfitted with a particle beam
that stuns the aliens, because evidentially they don't die with conventional
weapons, and a "RoverCam" used to search out the Reticulan weapon stash.
The game takes after Night Trap in the sense that you are looking at the entire
experience through a shoe box-sized screen, with a control panel along the bottom.
The difference is that here are only four cameras to switch between, and each area
looks as bland and unsightly as the others. This time around, you're not trapping
people with a couple of button presses; you're actually shooting people down, a la
Virtua Cop. This concept goes wrong for a few reasons. The moving of a cursor
around a screen has already been done to death in countless other Sega CD and
Digital Pictures titles, making Ground Zero Texas irritatingly unoriginal. At least
some others of this type did a decent job with this idea by including support for a
light gun, like the Genesis Menacer. No such luck with Ground Zero Texas, so you're
doomed to move a choppy moving, hard-to-control cursor around a screen with a
standard Genesis controller. And you have to do it quickly, making the game nearly
unplayable.
Like most FMV games by Digital Pictures, the acting is particularly atrocious, as
it's sadly expected to be. The story is woefully stupid, and you generally hate
every character in the game, not having the least desire to want to protect them.
Plus you can't even tell who's good and who's not because almost every random
person you see eventually pulls a gun on you out of nowhere, and you have only a
split-second to move your cursor on them. Each attempt to even hit someone often
ends in failure if not done perfectly on target. Missing too many targets gets you
a rambling speech by your army sergeant effectively ending the game, forcing you to
start over from the very beginning.
In each of the four places you have a battlecam situated, you're supposed to be
looking at things from the camera on each gun. If that's true, why are there about
a million different camera angles of all the action, and what is causing the
constant continuity errors?? Long story short, the experience doesn't even feel
remotely like what it's supposed to. I consider Manos the Hands of Fate to be the
inspiration for this game (look that one up!).
The actual gameplay is composed of little still photos of some battle ground,
almost just like T2 the Arcade Game or Lethal Enforcers. You stay completely still,
with some stupid military drum tapping on and on, and every couple of seconds
people pop up, just one by one, pulling a gun on you. You have to shoot them down
with your stun gun, and if you don't hit them in time, the screen blinks and some
of your life meter goes down. Once it's done, you follow the blinking camera on the
screen and select that one to go off to some other area and do the same tired thing
again and again.
Occasionally, the sappy acting moves on and on with cut scenes of cowboys,
waitresses, and gunslingers interacting with each other, usually spouting out god-
awful dialogue filled with some of the world's worst cliches. Any self-respecting
gamer out there is not going to have the slightest interest in this game. Me? I'm a
dedicated Sega CD fan and am willing to give FMV games their chance, but Ground
Zero Texas is truly one of the worst ones I've ever seen. A horrible storyline, the
most sickening acting, horrible control, no variety in gaming, and a level of
difficulty that will seriously anger you to the point of violence. Attention SEGA
CD owners of the world......AVOID!!!!!

_________________________
Heart of the Alien is the sequel to the game Out of this World, also known as
Another World. The story picks up immediately after the end of the first game. You
begin as Lester and his alien friend, "Buddy," land their pterodactyl in the ruins
of Buddy's village. Lester was knocked unconscious in their escape, so Buddy lays
him down on a cot to rest. The people who used to live in Buddy's village remain
enslaved, so he decides to go on a mission to free them. Thus, you control Buddy as
he sets off to free the people and find a way to send Lester home.
Buddy controls somewhat similarly to how Lester did in the first game. He has some
new moves that are provided by his powerful energized whip. Buddy can swing from
ceiling in some instances, for example.
As a bonus, this Sega CD disc includes the original Out of this World, so that you
can seamlessly play both adventures as if they were one long game.

In an era of frequent alien attacks, the Earth has a unified Government, which

these are known as the Heavy Nova, a title earned by passing a rigorous training
regime.
You are taking on the simulated proving grounds, which are split into two styles of
alternating action. In the first you must progress (initially purely horizontally,
though later with vertical flick-scrolling as well) through a hostile environment
of enemies, bombs and traps, gaining points for doing it quickly and with lots of
energy left. Initially you can fly and kick as needed.
Once this section is complete, you move on to one-on-one combat of the Street
Fighter 2 style. The early foes have far less energy than you begin with. As you
progress through the game, you are awarded extra attacking moves, in a manner
similar to Brutal: Paws of Fury

[CD - HEIMDALL]
Heimdall
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1994
_________________________
One of the more obscure releases for the Sega CD, although I suppose you can argue
just about all of them were obscure, was a port of a computer game called Heimdall.
Now, before moving on to the game itself, a little history lesson is in order.
Heimdall is a game based off of Norse myths, or for those who don't know, the
people that the Vikings came from. Heimdall happens to be the name of a Guardian of
the bridge leading from Earth to the world of the gods. Now that that's all clear
I'll move on to the game itself.
Heimdall was rather obscure, and though it pains me to say it, there were several
good reasons for that. To start with, the plot isn't exactly what you would hope to
find in an RPG/puzzle/adventure hybrid. Loki, the ambiguous God of Mischief, has
stolen three weapons of the Gods and scattered them amongst the three worlds;
Asgard, the world of the gods, Midgard, the world of humans, and Jotenhiem, the
world of the giants. This hails the start of the age of Ragnarok, the age of
continuous warfare, amongst other things, and it's up to you to retrieve the items.
Sounds simple enough eh? Well it is. The plot does advance, but in rather minimal
ways to the point of being, "retrieve Thor's hammer and go here. Listen to the rare
piece of dialogue, try this island and get more items. Repeat process to the end of
the game." As you can see, the story leaves something to be desired. On the other
hand, I was always a huge fan of Norse myths and the plot holds a soft spot in my
heart solely for that reason.
The game is pretty bad graphically. Almost everything in it is indistinct and

grainy. Admittedly, when choosing locations to sail to on the world map, you don't
need to be able to tell anything beyond what is an island and what is not, but all
the same I would expect a bit higher quality from the game. There are some good
points however such as the mini games, specifically the axe-throwing contest. It's
large and easy to see and the color is fairly well used. When wandering around on
islands, the detail is clear enough to be satisfying, but it's still somewhat
lacking. Though I generally don't care about graphics, even I take notice of ones
that are so mediocre. The greatest fault though, is the text. In most instances it
is very hard to read. The words are a pale color and fancy font, against a solid
wall of dull black that was almost dark gray. That is a prime example of sloppy
programming. The battle scenes generally have better detail however and that, at
least, is something to be thankful for.
Overall though, the graphic quality is some of the worst that I've seen in a Sega
CD game.
The music is very difficult to bring to mind. Which makes it one of the few areas
of the game that I give a lot of credit to. Usually, remembering the music to a
game means that it was either good or bad. When you don't remember it, it was bad
but that's not especially so here. From what little there is worth recalling, it's
rather dull. The game seemed to be based more-so on sound effects than on music and
there at least, it did a decent job. The greatest problem with the sound effects is
that they're boring, but thankfully they don't grate on your nerves.
The control is another part of the game that is poorly implemented. To start with,
this is not a game for people who want to have instant fun, as it will force you to
read the manual. Though that's usually not a problem for most people, seeing that
most (myself included) always read the manual to a new game before playing it, or
at least they ask the friend that they're borrowing it from what the controls are.
Heimdall has rather confusing controls. First of all, in the quest part of the game
the whole thing is menu based with icons. This may have worked in the original
Amiga release, but it doesn't work nearly as well with the Genesis stock pad.
Apparently the days of simple, easy to understand icons, like in Shining Force, is
gone. Instead, we have indistinct pictures that we'll have to guess on. I honestly
couldn't tell what most were supposed to be and had to use the manual to get past
my first couple of hours. Then there's the fact that Heimdall is played from an
isometric viewpoint.
Now I shall be frank, I do not like isometric viewpoints. To me they make games and
control awkward. There are titles that do a good enough job that I can get through
them with little trouble. Landstalker is a supreme example of this. Though Heimdall
does a decent job of it, for those who find it difficult to get into, dodging traps
on the first couple of islands probably won't happen, and you can only stomach so
many "game overs" in a night.
Gameplay is a difficult area to score, as it's rather mixed. In order to traverse

the dangers of the road you're going to need some military support, and a group of
Vikings to guide along your quest. Though it's not clear how you gain this support,
you do have a certain amount of control over their abilities when you play the
three different mini games. How well you do in them determines what type of
statistics your group will have. Pretty cool huh? The mini games do the job well
enough, the first one being the axe-throwing contest, which is fun, if occasionally
frustrating. You've been drinking, so your aim is none too steady, and as a result
you do have to work to lose the axe at the point that you want it. Simplistic, but
strangely amusing.
The second of these mini games is pig wrestling. Yes, you heard me. You wrestle a
pig on a field of slippery mud. This one is ridiculously easy. All you have to do
is run up to the pig, press the tackle button, and nine times out of ten you'll be
guaranteed success.
The last of one involves you running to the end of a boat while dodging enemy
swords. The problem is that the dodging is practically non-existent and your
character's running and jumping is stiff and awkward. The game doesn't get a whole
lot better once you've really started either. When you're walking around dodging
traps and solving puzzles on isometric islands things aren't too bad. In fact, one
can really start enjoying things, although the controls remain a bit awkward.
Unfortunately your sense of enjoyment will deteriorate as soon as you engage in
battle, as you will almost certainly lose most of your health before you figure out
the system. Furthermore, most battles consist purely of tapping a single button as
fast as you can. Though the gameplay offers some promise in concept, it ultimately
falls flat on its face.
In the end, I think that Heimdall is a game of wasted potential. Despite the lousy
graphics and stiff gameplay, if the controls were less horrendous then the game
might be tolerable and even amusing. The creators should have worked on that and
thrown in a great big whopping story based on the mythology, and then it would be a
game worth playing. Unfortunately it's got boring sound, stiff gameplay, lousy
graphics, and generally terrible control. Despite all of this, I retain a soft spot
for Heimdall, perhaps from growing up with the Norse myths. Play this game only if
you have a strong stomach for wasted potential and poor ports.

[CD - HOOK]
Hook

Release Year: 1992
_________________________
I've always envied Peter Pan. Some are quick to point out that he's a bit too
comfortable running around in green tights, and that may well be true, but that's
not what I admire about the character. No, it's what he represents that attracts
me. The boy who never grew up, never had to assume the duties of adulthood or the
weight of social responsibility - he's what every kid longs to be, and what many
adults miss in silent suffering: the freedom of childhood.
It's pretty weird then that someone would try to toy with the magic by making a
sequel, but that's just what happened. Tristar's Hook was a 1991 attempt to bring
Peter Pan into the modern era by having him grow up, and it split Pan fans right
down the middle. Steven Spielberg managed to sprinkle his pixie dust again, and the
film was a major box office hit (the fourth highest grossing movie that year), but
it was hammered by critics for the way it jumbled the characters ineffectively and
stumbled through its plot. Despite the widespread hate, I actually liked it. It's
the kind of movie that grows on you. The more I see it, the more I like it.
Consider it a guilty pleasure.
I simply cannot say the same for the Sega CD game, however, no matter how much I
love J.M. Barrie's timeless character. No amount of nostalgia or affection is going
to overcome the tedium and frustration of playing another one of Sony Imagesoft's
tepid releases. Remember when SI was a company we all reviled? It's come a long
way, but stains like Hook are still effective at conjuring up bad feelings of all
the licensed crap we were pelted with during the 16-bit era (not you Mickey Mania;
you're excluded from this castigation. Go get yourself a soda and watch some TV.
There's catering out in the hall in case you're hungry).
The problem with Hook is that it's essentially a wolf in sheep's clothing. Glancing
at the screen shots or box description gives the false impression that the game is
actually fun. So cunning was Sony Imagesoft that it released the SNES version
first, assaulting us with the clear transparencies, bright and colorful graphics,
and great soundtrack. I actually played through all eleven levels, ignoring the
slow, meandering pace of the main character and the trial and error gameplay. It
wasn't necessarily bad, but the squandered potential was everywhere, as if someone
had taken it and thrown it into a raging ceiling fan.
My hopes for the Sega CD version were high, and I was quite disappointed to see
that instead of an enhanced port, we basically got another phoned-in Genesis copy
with the standard audio upgrade and cut scene additions (I do admit that Hook's
flying Galleon at the beginning is cool). My only consolation was that I had
narrowly dodged a bullet by letting my friend buy the only copy for sale, instead
opting for that lone Wonder Dog that was languishing in the showcase.
The problems with Hook on the Sega CD are multiple, and while none of them ruin the
game completely, they sour what should have otherwise been a great experience. The
visuals, for example, have taken a deep hit. No longer boasting the rich color
palette of the SNES original, everything looks washed out and entirely too brown.
Gone as well are the pristine transparencies, and I often found myself wondering if
Peter was swimming or wading through a massive screen door that someone had dropped
on its side.
The gameplay remains intact, which is par for the course for multiple releases of
this type of licensed fodder. The one thing they really could have improved is that
which they left completely alone. There can be no harks of technological
inferiority in this area, and the Sega CD version would have greatly benefited from
a Pan who moved faster and whose jump wasn't so floaty. Three hits is still the
magic number (though it can be raised by collecting leaf power ups), and it's all
too easy to find yourself back at the beginning of the level, left to relive your
pain like some wicked chapter from the Divine Comedy. Which level of platforming
hell is this again?
About the only thing enhanced, outside of the voice overs for the sporadic cut
scenes, is the music. John Williams' score shines brilliantly here, and you can at
least listen to it in your stereo. None of the other effects have been upgraded,
which is typical of these early Sega CD cash runs. It's unfortunate that no other
attempts were made to use the power of Sega's underperforming add-on, but at least
the soundtrack is good.
I can't recommend Hook on the Sega CD, not because it's a bad game, which it isn't.
I refuse to endorse it because it's simply an average port of a game that can be
had much cheaper on the Genesis and without the need for extra hardware. Unless you
simply must have the soundtrack or just collect everything Peter Pan, there's
nothing new to see here. Toss this one in the crocodile's mouth or just toss it
overboard.

[CD - IRON HELIX]

Iron Helix
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Action
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1992
Developer: Brian A. Rice, Inc
Publisher: Spectrup Holobyte
_________________________
A rogue navy ship, Jeremiah Obrian, threatens to start a war. A virus has wiped out
its crew, but the threat of it firing its Iron Helix doomsday weapon is still
there. You must remotely pilot an unarmed science robot to explore the ship and
work out how to shut the weapon down.
The game uses interactive quarter-screen footage to display the ship's interiors.
The main challenge is that an automated security device is chasing you down, and
must be avoided and ultimately destroyed. A delay between your commands and the
robot's receipt of them forces you to pay close attention to the security drone and
plan several steps ahead.
As you explore the ship, you will find data ports, which can be jacked into to gain
information or to open doorways. To access most of these, you will need to find and
collect a DNA sample from a member of staff whose role gave him/her access.

[CD - JAGUAR XC220]

Jaguar XJ220
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Racing
Gametype: Undefined
Publisher: JVC Visual Studios
_________________________
The good news is Jaguar XJ220 is one of the few racing games on the SEGA CD, it
shares a spot with a handful of other racers, notably Formula One World
Championship, Road Rash, and BC Racers among a few others. Fortunately, it still
remains the best of the lot rising far above the other mentioned mediocre offerings
and gives the CD add-on a solid racing game for the starving fans.
It's an early release, one of the twenty-two original games released in cardboard
boxes so this game is actually a decent collectable since the box has become pretty
scarce. I can't even remember where I got my copy, and I'm in the majority who
don't own the box. For me, it started as one of those mediocre games that I played
briefly and for which I wrote a short review, glorifying all of its mediocre points
and not really having any praise for it at all. It seemed to me that it was one of
those games that never received much love from Sega fans, so I felt it time to
revisit it and give it a full review and really go deep with it and see what finer
points it has to offer.
I was actually surprised to find that upon playing it with a little more depth, it
became a fairly decent racing sim. That's not to say that it's not without its
faults, because there's plenty to note, but there's a lot it has going for it too.
You race in a Jaguar XJ220 and race against other makes of Jaguar cars and can
compete in a Grand Prix mode or a World Tour. Grand Prix has you race in a pre-
selected order of tracks trying to earn money to advance and keep your car
repaired. World Tour mode allows you to compete in races in an order you choose and
has some small commentary on difficulty. It's the preferred mode (at least to me)
to play. The game also has a split-screen two-player mode and a practice mode, and
it has a track editor that allows you to design tracks to your liking.
I'm going to have to point out Jaguar XJ 220's bad points before I can point out
the good points. To start, the control you have over your car is not up to the
standards of some of the better racing games of the day. It is quite difficult to
make turns properly since even when you let off the gas and hit the brake, your car
still drifts and doesn't give you much more control over the steering. With
practice it becomes more accessible, but it's still a problem during heated races.
Compounding this fact is that you can't buy upgrades. You do earn cash, and at
first I thought I was able to buy upgrades, but instead each one of the icons are
only there for you to repair that part of your car as it takes damage and wear. It
was no fun realizing that I could never improve the clunky steering of my Jaguar.
Its second flaw is the graphical style. Everything, including the cars and
backgrounds, are overly bright and gaudy, lacking the realistic look that the
programmers were pushing for. Detail and variety are also decidedly minimal, and
there are only four car colors, leaving you stuck with a white one which makes it
look even more uninspired. Modern racing games of the time had gone to new
graphical styles, but this game still used the cheesy graphic styles from the '80s,
popular in games like Radmobile and Rad Racer. For example, the grass on the sides
of the track is striped horizontally, and the stands and pits have no detail. The
mountains, trees and other backgrounds are cut and pasted backdrops similar to the
SMS's Hang-On and have no interaction whatsoever.
If there's one thing that Jaguar XJ220 gets right, it's the soundtrack. There are
six tracks to choose from, and they are all of CD quality and have a lot of
variety. The game also lets you choose the track before each track starts. If you
need some proof that it's good then pop the disc into a CD player and enjoy. I
still can't get the title track out of my head. Unfortunately though, the sound
effects take a hit, and everything is pretty loud and underwhelming, and it drowns
out the amazing music. It's a crying shame because had the sound effects been
better, I would have raised the final score a whole point. The motor sounds like a
gas powered RC car, and the sound the tires make when you take a sharp turn sounds
like the chirp the tires make when shifting gears. It will provide a good laugh or
two.
The soundtrack makes the game enjoyable and is the highlight, like I said. Core
Design tried to make the races match the look of the country they take place in,
but not enough effort was put in since the Genesis saw many better racers off the
CD format. None of the shortcomings kill it though, because it is still fun to play
and has a good amount of depth. That should keep at least diehard racing fans
occupied for a few hours. Your best bet is to play the World Tour mode since it
offers more variety and is more forgiving. If you want to have some extra fun then
try the track editor and create a track. I created the most wickedly difficult
track I could then tried to drive on it. It's tedious to design, but fun in the end
and you can save your course as well.
With all this said, Jaguar XJ220 a dull game at times, but it still feels solid and
enjoyable. Other than the soundtrack, it doesn't showcase the Sega CD's
capabilities at all so don't play it with someone just getting started in classic
gaming because it won't hold their interest. It's probably not a game that'll grip
you immediately upon first playing, but give it some time because it's sure to
become more engaging after a few plays and it's definitely worth a second look.

[CD - JEOPARDY!]
Jeopardy!
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Game Show
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1994
_________________________
Game and trivia shows have not been particularly well done in the console video
game world. There have been too many problems with creating an engine that
successfully recreates the environment of so many classic shows like Wheel of
Fortune, Trivial Pursuit, and Jeopardy! Repeat questions were one of the biggest
problems, especially before the advent of compact disc based media. There just
wasn't enough space on cartridges for the massive amount of text needed to avoid
seeing the same questions every other play. And entering your answers with a
controller was cumbersome as well as time consuming. Computer editions slightly
avoided these problems with floppy disk media and keyboards, but even those
versions couldn't solve the overwhelming problem. People just don't like playing
game show video games.
Fortunately, as soon as Jeopardy loads, it is evident that some of these concerns

were taken into consideration by Sony Imagesoft. This is a complete upgrade and
looks nothing like the previous Genesis version. The familiar Jeopardy! theme
blares out in crystal clear digital sound accompanied by the same spinning title
video from the beginning of the actual show. The game features video and voice work
by Alex Trebek himself, in full digitized glory. The Sega CD's low on-screen colors
do not hinder the graphics all that much since the set of Jeopardy is not very
colorful to begin with. The solid blues, grays, and reds look crisp and the only
grain comes from the digitized characters that are superimposed over the
background. The categories and questions are clear and easy to read and all the
familiar sound effects for right, wrong, Daily Double, and Final Jeopardy are also
present.
The game gives the choice between one, two, or three players and six different
digitized characters. After inputting your name (I tried putting in Turd Ferguson
but it only allowed eight letters) the Jeopardy board comes up and Alex introduces
the categories. Either you or the other characters pick the category and are given
fifteen seconds to buzz in and reply in the form of a question. Each contestant is
mercifully given sixty seconds to input their answer via a text box. The cursor is
pretty responsive and most answers take about ten to fifteen seconds to key in.
Everything looks and sounds great until the actual gameplay gets going. The
questions themselves have a pretty good cross-section of topics but many are dated
(e.g. U.S.S.R., obscure films from the forties, topical U.S. politics). Also your
answers must be entered exactly and that includes spaces and full names. For
example, if the answer is "he was the second U.S. vice president to resign his
office," make sure you input "Spiro Agnew" because the judges will not accept
"Agnew" or "SpiroAgnew."
One of the biggest problems with this version is the game's AI. If you do not know
the answer, one of two things will happen: either the computer contestants will not
buzz in at all or they will hit the buzzer and get it right... every single time!
This means that once the computer contestants are up, it is moderately difficult to
overtake them because they will not receive many subtractions from their score for
wrong answers.
Then the question of general interest comes up again. Even though there are around
a thousand different questions, playing Jeopardy in the single-player mode against
the computer gets boring fast. One game takes around forty-five minutes to complete
because there are no time limits like the less than half-hour television show. Both
rounds only end when every single category is expended. Loading times are a
problem, especially between rounds and during Final Jeopardy. These time problems
are alleviated somewhat with a two or three-player game; the length of the game is
less noticed when playing with friends.
Sony did an adequate job with design but needed to fine tune some of the mechanics.
For a game show conversion Jeopardy! is good for what it is, but unless you're Rain
Man, you aren't going to get that excited.

[CD - JURASSIC PARK]

Jurassic Park
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1993
Developer: SEGA
Publisher: SEGA
_________________________
The CD version of Jurassic Park is a unique point-and-click adventure game that is
more akin with games like Myst, then other action-oriented Jurassic Park games;
however, even though you have to use your brain in this game, there is enough
action and suspense to keep players happy, and the blend of 2D sprites, CG scenes,
and live action segments adds up to a rewarding gaming experience.
The adventure begins when you are on a helicopter en route to Jurassic Park. You
are sent on a mission to retrieve dinosaur eggs of seven different species, only
you are required to have at least one living egg of each species stored in the
incubator. The incubator is located in the visitor's center, which is the hub of
information and safety on the island. Outside the center, the island has been
victimized by fierce tropical storms, so dinosaurs are now on the loose. One false
move and you'll end up as tyrannosaurus rex food. What I enjoyed about the story
and how the game is set up is how much it immerses players into the action.
This is due largely in part to the first person point-and-click gameplay. You
search the island for items to help aid you on your quest, and you go to the
visitor's center to drop off eggs and get useful information. The controls are
straightforward, and can be adjusted in the options menu. You move to locations
with the A button, bring up the item screen and select items with the B button, and
use items with the C button. It all seems simple, but actually traveling through
the island and not getting killed is another story entirely. This is where the
items become essential. You can't just waltz into a dinosaur's nest and expect to
take some eggs without any trouble. You'll have to use weapons like your stun gun
or tranquilizer gun to subdue the beasts and then quickly grab the eggs.
The eggs will die if you take too long getting them back into the incubator, so you
have to be on your toes and know the layout of the island. Also, the game has a
unique time system, in that you are given twelve hours to complete this mission,
and then help will arrive on the island to pick you up. When you are searching a
screen, the game ticks away in real time. When you move to a different screen,
different increments of time are shaved off to represent the journey you are
taking.
The puzzles in Jurassic Park CD range from easy to quite tricky. In the beginning
it starts off simple, like finding the key card to open the locked control room at
the visitor's center. But things gradually become more advanced, such as throwing
large rocks outside the cavern to cause an avalanche of larger rocks to act as a
bridge into the cavern. The game constantly makes you think and act quickly,
because there are dinosaurs around the corner everywhere! All it takes is one jab
from a hungry triceratops to make you extinct, so you better save often. Saving can
be done in the control room at the visitor's center.
Jurassic Park for the Sega CD really takes advantage of the CD hardware and offers
a unique game play experience that is fueled with great graphics. This first person
adventure is played with 2D sprites, but when you switch locations, often times you
will watch a very nice CG cut scene as you run through the scenery. The visitor's
center is also displayed in pre-rendered CG, and it looks nearly as good as its
fellow Sega CD adventure, Mansion of Hidden Souls. There are also live action
segments, both in the control room where you receive updates from the team back
home, and at the various dinosaur kiosks around the island. This blend of sprites,
CG, and live action sets this game apart from other Sega CD titles, and it provides
for a fresh experience. The only downside is that loading times can sometimes be on
the long side to generate these beautiful graphics.
The audio also throws players into the action! Most of the tunes are atmospheric
and have birds and bugs making noise in the background along with unique dinosaur
growls. There are cool music tracks as well, that range from mysterious to high
octane adrenaline-raising pieces. Playing this game with headphones on is a fun
time, as it feels like you really are on the island, and when you start to hear the
faint wailing of a brontosaurus in the distance, it really puts you into the game.
Jurassic Park CD is a great example of what the Sega CD could do in order to change
the way we play games, and what sort of new technology it could bring to the game
playing experience. The graphics and sound really make it feel like you are on the
island, and combined with the first person interface, this was a great way for
developers to show what the Sega CD could do. It takes a little bit to get an idea
of the layout of the island, and you'll probably be killed by dinosaurs a few times
before you even get any eggs. Even so, this is one game that is going to have
players exploring the island for quite some time, so what are you waiting for? This
is one adventure worth facing down a T-Rex for!

_________________________
Oh dear me, here it comes, a game for the kiddies. You certainly are not expected
to purchase this anytime soon, but still I couldn't help but give it a look because
Sega CD definitely didn't have any other titles like this. Digital Pictures, at
some point, took a stab at a sub-label that they called "Digital Kids," ? and for
all I know, this is the only title that made it out the door. A full motion video
title made for children age three and up. Well, for what it's worth, they did a
nice job.
Kids on Site is about as simplistic as it gets for an FMV game. Possibly any game
ever for the Sega CD. What kid hasn't ever fantasized about using heavy duty
machinery? Oh c'mon, admit it. You rode in the backseat with your parents growing
up. You had to, at some point, have peered out the window at construction and been
mesmerized by the sheer towering presence of heavy machinery and wondered how in
the world someone could possibly work those mighty creations. Well, Kids On Site
takes you, the player, into the exciting world of heavy machinery. If you're an
adult gamer, don't poo poo this one so quickly. It's actually pretty funny.
From the start, you get an introduction that'll make you feel like it's saturday
morning and you're five years-old all over again. As several video shots of big
machinery go roaring by, it's like an episode of Sesame Street is starting up as
you hear the most whimsical music play through some quick opening credits and then
you're greeted by a lady in a hard hat who says, "welcome to the pit, kiddo!" ?
Wow, that's not patronizing. She introduces you to her two friends. Dizzy, and
Nuts. Oh dear God. Am I truly ready for this?? They're adult actors, not cartoons.
And you guessed it: the whole game is full-motion video. There's the surprise of
the century.
After an infantile gesture between them, you're introduced to a supremely simple

menu screen. You have four different pieces of machinery to choose to learn about.
As you move the cursor around, you hear clown nose and honking sounds. Wow, what
doesn't this game have? Anyway, it's an excavator lift, a wrecking ball, a
bulldozer, and a steam roller. You move the cursor to the one you want to learn
about, and press start. And in case that's too difficult a task, there's a help
video that shows you how to press buttons on your controller. Phew, thank God! I
was afraid I would have to stare all night at my controller wondering what to do
with it.
Alright, I'm just being mean. The video actually is helpful. It makes sure you know
that button A moves to the left with your machine, the B button uses it, and the C
button goes right. Also the start button takes you back to the main menu. Honestly
speaking, there's no way you can screw this game up. You can't lose. Literally.
During gameplay, you see A, B, and C on screen and you simply choose one of the
three. That's all there is to it. Upon first choosing a machine at the main menu,
you get a factual rundown of the machinery in question, and what it does. Then you
get to actually control it! The video is a small box in the center of the screen,
and surrounding the video is some 2D art that makes you feel like you're really
sitting in the machine (depending on how good an imagination you have). Nuts is
usually the one who wants you to do some actual work.
When you complete some mundane, yet simple tasks with your machine (by simply
pressing B at the right position), he gets extraordinarily excited and almost seems
to fall into blissful dementia over it. You can move your machinery anywhere the
game has predetermined possible (the choices are exhausted in a matter of minutes),
but you can also do some pretty lame brain things which you will probably have more
fun doing than any actual work. Moving your excavator lift, for example over near
other workers enjoying their lunch... well... how can you resist? Press B and
you're picking them up with the thing. You can then move them over somewhere and
dump them in the ground. How professional. This game is so beneficial to teaching
children the proper use of heavy machinery.
Wait, it gets better. Choose the steam roller, and you'll be able to roll it in a
few different directions. Well, what can you flatten with it? Why anything that
comes to mind I suppose. The co-workers want some ice cappuccino. So they lie out a
ton of ice for you to roll over. Next up, Dizzy is wanting to make some fruit
juice. Out on the road are hundreds of watermelons. Oh, this game is a dream come
true! Smash! I roll it into the dirt! You of course always are rewarded with a full
motion video sequence of doing the deed, and it seems to always satisfy and yet
bore you to death at the same time. And yet you can't wait to see what else you can
flatten to oblivion.
Finally, when you've finished misusing your vehicle as much as the game will let
you, you must finally get around to doing the actual work of flattening some road,
otherwise you can't really complete the level. That's right, when you've completed
your task, you get a merit badge for that machine and move onto the next one. So
anyway, you start to use the thing for what it was made for and as usual, Nuts gets
extremely happy. So happy in fact, he starts dancing on the last strip you're
supposed to flatten and he won't move out of the way. I then ponder, "is this game
actually going to let me run over a human being?" ? Well.....he's not moving.
Should I? I have a bit of moral dilemma. To murder, nor not to murder? Ok. I press
B. Sure enough, Nuts doesn't move.. qnd I squash him flat. Seriously, I am not
joking. How educational this game is! For a game that seeks to enlighten children
by showing them full-motion video of true-to-life heavy machinery, it sure fills
them with some pretty heinous ideas.
So each of the four choices takes you on the same kind of formula. It plays out
like a corny saturday morning kids show as you get to use these magnificent
machines to do the most inappropriate and ludicrous things imaginable, while not be
educated much at all. You watch everything play like a movie with very few choices
possible in variety. You're given either the freedom to do an actual job at hand,
or you're able to misuse your vehicle in some very twisted ways, that if it weren't
for the hokey production values and humorous continuity errors, would actually
cause someone in real life to die a horrible death! After you finish the real job
with each vehicle, the game has a last bonus scene that allows you to lay down one
of the coolest forms ever of getting it on: blowing up some TNT! Pushing the button
on your controller is pretty much all you get to do, but not before watching
another scene in which Nuts gets horribly injured.
In all fairness, the guy continually asks for it by putting himself in the
situations. And then he whines about it? What kid wouldn't make every effort to off
this nut? Heh. Nut. Get it?
Anyway, while not being too harsh on Kids on Site, it is intended for very small
children, and in that respect they made it very simple and very humorous. No doubt
little children will find this game very funny, as even I did myself. And at least
it does a great job with its realism. These are real heavy duty machines used for
their real purposes (sometimes) and the full motion video quality is pretty good
for the Sega CD. If you should choose to buy this game for your child well that
must mean you're now passing your Sega CD down to the next generation. Good for
you. If you actually intend to buy this game for yourself... don't say I didn't
warn you.

Lethal Enforcers
Region: USA

Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Shooter
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1993
Developer: Konami
Publisher: Konami
_________________________
Lethal Enforcers was released for the Sega CD during the summer of 1993. It is a
home port of an arcade shooting game of the same name. Developed and published by
Konami,. the game came packed in with a light gun called the Justifier, I was
unable to get the game at launch, and therefore, this review will be done without
the knowledge of how the game controls with it.
The graphics are simply amazing. Backgrounds look photorealistic and the detail in
them is unbelievable. The enemies in the game do look rather weak, but they are
pretty accurate renditions of the arcade's cardboard cutouts, so it is excusable.
The colors looked washed out throughout most of the game, which definitely detracts
from the graphics. All in all, the graphics are great, the fake looking enemies are
the only real problem, along with the washed out colors.
The game's sound is a treat for the ears. Sound effects, mainly the gunshots, are
very realistic. The characters in the game all have realistic voices; the enemies
sound like madmen, and the victims sound terrified and scared for their lives.
There really isn't much else here soundwise but what is there is done very well. I
was pretty surprised that Lethal Enforcers didn't take full advantage of the Sega
CD's sound capabilities, the sound effects are great, but they definitely could
have been done better.
The gameplay is pretty straightforward. You shoot at the bad guys that appear on
the screen. While it might seem like an easy thing to do, you can't really gauge it
unless you play it. The gameplay is fast and frenetic. Shots come at you from all
sides. You can shoot a bullet that is shot at you, which is your only defense other
than taking out the shooter himself. The game gives you the option to choose which
stage you want to play in and you've got three difficulty levels to choose from:
Easy, Medium, and Hard. There is an end boss for each level.
The control is pretty straightforward with the control pad. You can configure the
control pad any way you would like and only two buttons are used: one to shoot, and
one more is used to reload the gun. The game's control is very responsive, it's
some of the most responsive I've ever experienced.
The game's presentation is pretty awesome. It has a really gritty, urban feel to it
that helps get you into the mindset to play. The menus all have a serious look and
feel to them, this really helps enhance the game's mood.
Challenge varies based on your hand-eye coordination. The difficulty in this type
of game depends on you having really good hand-eye coordination, if you have it,
you will probably fair poorly. If you're coordinated, you'll probably do well. Of
course, the game's levels are pretty difficult, and as I mentioned earlier, you
will be pelted with gunfire at a rapid pace. The game is definitely no walk in the
park.
Lethal Enforcers has great replay value. The simple gameplay makes it a perfect
pick up and play game. The game play is also very addictive. You'll be playing this
game years from now, I guarantee it.
All in all, Lethal Enforcers is one of the finest shooting games ever made. It's
the predecessor to games like Virtua Cop, Time Crisis, and House of the Dead,
without it, these games simply would not exist. The game is simply spectacular; the
graphics are stunning, and the sound is amazing.

opportunity to upgrade and keep you gun, as long as you don't shoot the people you
are trying to save.
The action is usually shown on a single screen with enemies "popping out" from
various sections. If you do not shoot them in time they will either shoot or throw
various weapons at you. You will lose energy if they hit you or you hit an innocent
civilian.

Links: The Challenge of Golf
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1994
Developer: Papyrus
_________________________
Links redefined what golf on the PC should look and play like; it migrated golf
from a sports game to a simulation. Good use of VGA's 256 colors made for a
realistic course with trees, water, sandtraps, and the fairway. The addition of
ball physics, mulligans, changing the lie of the ball, real digitized environmental
sounds (even through the PC speaker), and the ability to view a replay (even from
multiple angles) gave PC golf games a new echelon of quality to match.
Links catapulted to the top rung of the golf simulation ladder and the series has
managed to stay there for over a decade.

Genre: Shooter
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1994
Developer: Rocket Science Games
Publisher: Rocket Science Games
_________________________
Loadstar is a rail-shooter concerned with shooting enemies while navigating your
ship, much like Sewer Shark. You're actually on rails in this game, as you travel
in a truck/train called Loadstar along a magnetic rail network covering the moon.
Shifting the cursor to the edge of the screen changes to a different track when
available, with incorrect turns either killing you instantly or moving you off-
course from the level end. Direction indicators and distant landmarks help keep you
driving in the right direction, while accidents, track closures, and robot cops
work to keep you from it. Your weapons "tag" enemies and force them to explode, or
can tag incoming shots and deflect them with a separate shield button.
Gameplay is broken into three levels as you race from one destination to another to
escape with your cargo. The game features sophisticated full-motion video cutscenes
breaking up the levels and providing the story. Barry Primus and Ned Beatty star.

[CD - LORDS OF THUNDER]

Lords of Thunder
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Shooter
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1995
Developer: Hudson Soft
Publisher: Hudson Soft
_________________________
Fantastic! Hudson strikes again with another successful shooter. Following Red's
previous shooter, Gate of Thunder, which was launched with the Turbo Duo, Lords of
Thunder goes with a completely different style. Instead of a space age shooter
filled with technology and ships, we now have a fantasy setting with monsters,
weapons, and armor. With these attributes, Lords of Thunder rises high above some
of the other shooters on the Sega CD.
Lords of Thunder is a 2-D side-scrolling shooter, but it does add some features
that are not common to a standard shooter, and that includes adventure elements.
Before the players start each level, they have a certain amount of gems as money
that they can use to spend on different items in a shop before proceeding to the
next level. Gems are obtained while playing the game. By destroying enemies, they
will drop gems. After the boss is defeated, a gem bonus is granted and added to the
overall total to the player's wallet before going to the shop.
Players can choose to buy health (you are given only one life in this game so you
must keep filling your health meter between stages) in 3 different increments,
shields (3 different types allowing either 1, 2, or 3 hits before health damage is
received once again), power orbs (allows the player to increase the level of the
weapon selected for the stage), bombs, an elixir (allows a full health bar to be
regained once the regular health bar has been depleted) or even a continue icon.
The Sega-CD version of Lords of Thunder was released some time after the original
one on the Turbo but it's a bit poorer in graphical quality. It lacks the vibrant
color of the original, and for that reason the graphics are not as pretty. The
visuals aren't bad per se, just not as spiffy as they are on the Duo.
Probably the most unique aspect of this game is the music. The Duo version almost
warrants a purchase just to listen or record the heavy metal tracks that are used
throughout the entire game. Sadly, this is not the case on the Sega CD. All the
music from the Duo version is there, but they changed it all! It has all been
redone! Same themes, just redone! WHY!?!?! Sorry music buffs, but the redone
version of the music is horrid compared to the original. As for the sound effects,
what can I say? They are WAY too low. Many are too soft and are not heard over the
blaring, crappy redone tracks, and some sounds are missing, like the bosses
screaming and yelling.
The only two things the Sega CD version had that I would sort of consider
"possible" pluses are the fact that the first half of the introduction is narrated
(However, given the "revamped" music and the fact you have to wait past the title
screen to see the intro instead of at boot up) it does not help this redone attempt
at all. Also, the bosses and mini bosses take more hits to kill.
Overall, Lords of Thunder is a capable shmup that is fun for a while. It doesn't
stand up to the Turbo Duo release due to its watered-down graphics and redone
soundtrack. I would recommend you get that version if you can. Sega CD owners
looking for another shmup to add to their collection won't be blown away but they
won't be disappointed either.

[CD - LUNAR II - THE ETERNAL BLUE]

Lunar: Eternal Blue
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1995
Publisher: Working Designs
Players: 1
_________________________
Taking place 1000 years after the events of Lunar:TSS, Eternal Blue returns to the
classic world that now has another crisis on its hands. The evil god Zophar is
scheming to come back and inhabit, and eventually, destroy Lunar, having done so
previously to the Blue Planet. Once again, a band of heroes is unseemingly united
by a series of events to combat and vanquish Zophar, thus restoring their planet
back to its former beauty. However, this time, a young girl named Lucia has awoken
after being in a sleep stasis on the Blue planet. She senses that all is not well
with the mother planet, and heads down to rectify the situation. Will love overcome
all obstacles and prove to be the key to smiting the evil that engulfs them?
Your main cast of heroes include Hiro, the sword-'n-boomerang wielding protagonist,
and his trusty friend Ruby, a red baby dragon who doesn't realize such until later
in the game (unlike former sidekick, Nall); Lucia, strange visitor from the Blue
Planet, who's lack of how human society interacts and functions makes for excellent
comic foil; White Knight Leo, captain of the Dragonship Destiny and leader of
Althena's Guard; Lemina, heir to the (now dilapidated) Magic Guild of Vane; Ronfar,
obsessive gambler and drinker who wield a mean pair of die; and Jean, beautiful
Gypsy dancer with a mysterious, and dangerous past. As well on the other side of
the playing field, you have a new batch of Four Heroes who wield the power of the
dragons: Leo commands the White, Blue Master Lunn, Black Wizard Borgan, and Red
Priest Mauri (also Ronfar's love interest/Leo's sister).
First and foremost, Lunar is a heavy character and story-driven RPG. The gurus at
Game Arts don't try to reinvent the wheel; they took existing, well-establish plot
elements like friendship, drama, comedy, love, hate, revenge and redemption and
turn them into one of the most heart-felt and emotional stories that few RPGs ever
hope to muster (Final Fantasy III/6 being another in this category). There is a LOT
of dialogue, multiple conversations with NPCs, and more than a fair share of audio
clips with some of the best voice acting for the time. No cardboard, monotone
voices here. To add to the pot, Working Designs likes to occasionally throw in
current events of the mid-1990s into some of the dialogue, For example, in one part
an NPC discusses his displeasure of having President Bill Clinton in office. One
thing they did improve this time was having the main character speak more than two
lines of dialogue. He blabbers as much as everyone else, and that added a lot of
charm to the typical "silent hero."
One excellent benefit to having played the first Lunar is that certain plot
elements, characters and locations are in continuity with the first game. Some
cities, like Meribia and Vane, are still here but are vastly different. Your
ultimate nemesis from the first adventure is back, but this time he's more of a
wildcard. Furthermore, stories are told of the previous Dragon Master and those who
helped save Lunar a millennia ago. Little details like this add just the right
touch of nostalgia and extra impact to the game.
Graphically, there are some slight enhancements to the overall look and feel we've
come to know and love. In-game characters are still stocky with limited walk and
battle animations. Towns are much larger and more detailed. In-game cut scenes,
however, definitely benefit from more animation and crisper details. Sequences are
longer, busier, and add a lot of character to the story; they're not just filler.
Overall, there hasn't been anything major done to the visuals, and there really
shouldn't be, as this is not a game about pretty, shiny graphics. What it has is
more than sufficient.
The music is by far the most memorable aspect. Noriyuki Iwadare pulls out all the
stops and makes everything bigger and better. Many of the pieces sound much higher
in quality and range than before. The main characters have their own theme songs,
battle themes are more epic in scope, and the town/overworld themes have a much
more fantasy/"far off land"-type of feel which adds a lot of emotional impact to
each locale. Everyone has their opinions on the theme song translations into
English, but I found them beautiful, especially the first ending song: Eternal
Blue: Rondo of Light. People finally took notice of how good voice acting in games
can be with this series, and there is no complaint in this version at all. The only
downer is the audio is yellow book, so you can't pop the game CD into your music
player this time.
The battle engine also has a few tweaks, but ultimately it's the same from the
first game. They have added a custom auto attack option where you can have each
character do a certain attack/magic/whatever, which makes certain repetitious
level-gathering expeditions much easier to cope with. Moreover, the save feature
has been drastically changed. Each time you save, a certain amount of points that
you earn after each battle are used. The points necessary increase in need each
time, thereby making you think twice before saving your game every five minutes.
While this doesn't restrict the ability to save fairly frequent, it does hinder
players who do the minimal to get through the game. This actually isn't the
original developer's fault, as this change was made when Working Designs did the
localization.
Core game aspects aside, the aesthetics are the true highlights of the game. The
overall feel with the little details that the developers put into it make this game
come off as a labor of love. From the opening FMV to the closing of the credits,
there is zero filler, but plenty of bonus items to go after. By far the best
surprise of any RPG I've played to date has been what happens at the end. I won't
spoil it for you, but let's just say that it's an excellent bonus!
Lunar Eternal Blue was on my favorites list for a very long time, and while I
purchased both remakes for the PlayStation, the original is better, despite the
technical merits of its 32-bit counterpart (though the remake does come with a
respectable OST of the game music). This is definitely one of the must-have games
for any SEGA CD owner, and a defining chapter in the now over-saturated market of
RPGs.

[CD - LUNAR I - SILVER STAR STORY]

Lunar: The Silver Star
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1993
Players: 1
_________________________
If ever there was a reason to buy a Sega CD, Lunar: The Silver Star was it.
Although remade masterfully for the Playstation, the Sega CD version was a stunning
RPG for its time and something that owners of the system could smirk about when
their friends came over. This was why they had spent all that money. This was the
reward for their months of suffering at the hands of poor FMV games and lackluster
ports. This was the ?ber adventure they had waited so eagerly for and it was good,
damn good.
Let's get the mandatory quibbles out of the way first, shall we? The game, as most
people are fond of recalling, is very easy. RPG veterans should blow through it in
no time and even the most novice of takers should have little trouble completing
the quest (which is about 20-25 hours long). There doesn't seem to be any part of
the game that offers a substantial challenge so try to accept it and move on, ok?
My only other complaint is the opening theme song. It's cheesy and does nothing for
first impressions of the game. Aside from these two minor complaints though,
everything's gravy.
Lunar's biggest draw is its plot. Alex, the main character, longs for adventure. He
wishes to be like his idol, the late Dragonmaster Dyne, who vanquished evil and
saved the world alongside the three other great heroes Lemia, Mel, and Ghaleon.
Alex's friends, the greedy Ramus, and the quiet and sensitive Luna, join him
initially on his quest. Little did they know that they were going to get more
adventure than they had ever hoped for. Alex and company meet some new faces during
their journey; like the would-be sorcerer Nash, the egotistical Kyle, the brave and
independant Jessica, and the mild-natured Mia. All have their strengths and
weaknesses, and once you have their abilities down, they become a powerful party.
Lunar takes what could seem from a first glance to be your cookie-cutter RPG plot
and twists it in ways that will definitely take you by surprise. It's kind of hard
to explain without giving anything away but let's just say that you won't be
guessing everything that's going to happen, and those that you do, unfold in ways
you never expected. Seldom did translated games in the genre from this era maintain
the magic and charm of the original story and Working Designs did an excellent job
at remaining faithful to Game Arts' vision.
The character development is something else that was done quite well. Through the
game, you actually grew to like each hero and really cared about what happened to
them. I defy anyone who played this game to tell me that Nall wasn't just the
cutest little thing and that Nash didn't get on their nerves. Few other 16-bit
RPGs, save Lunar: Eternal Blue and maybe Final Fantasy III achieved the level of
growth and maturity among its characters as Silver Star did. While the Playstation
remake delved even deeper into Alex and Luna's relationship, the original's
attention to the importance of love and sacrifice set the groundwork for many games
to come.
The story makes such an impact because it's told through animated cut scenes. At a
time when still panels with some moving lips were considered the norm, Lunar's
voiced cinematic sequences blew the door off how an RPG plot could unfold. It's
always a plus to finish off some nasty boss and be treated to a cut scene, and in
this department, Lunar does not disappoint. The acting is on par with Working
Designs' other efforts, though it's much more serious in tone. WD had a good stable
of voice actors at this time and the guy who did Ghaleon has his voiced permanently
etched into my memory. He sounds a little like an extra from Will & Grace but he
somehow managed to pull of the character in tremendous fashion.
In addition to the wonderful storytelling, the game is very easy and intuitive to
play. A simple menu system runs the turn-based combat and you'll find all the
trappings of the genre here: Weapons and armor to equip, items for healing and
boosts, and both offensive and defensive spells. The effects aren't too impressive
to look at but they are effective in their use and the character's animations when
casting highlights their growth during the game. Many of the more complex spells
have longer casting animations which was nice to see.
Nall, Alex's pet "flying cat," offers advice about how to kill monsters and even
lends a hand every once in a while. While he's not a party member per se, he is
vital to the quest (he saves and loads your game, among other things) and plays an
important role in the plot.
There are a plethora of caverns, towers, and dungeons to explore, each with their
fair share of treasures to be found. Many of the items they contain don't need to
be picked up to complete the quest but are very beneficial to those who take the
time to find them. Moreover, the added experience points are a welcome boost,
although you won't really be worse off for not spending hours leveling up. The
variety of areas to explore goes a long way towards creating the overall image of
an entire world, which you will travel by foot, boat, and even airship. I cannot
tell you how nice it was to enter a dungeon and not be hit with the same old
graphics I'd just been through. The areas are also well designed and require quite
a bit of footwork to see completely.
Not content to swoon gamers with just an awesome story and great game play, Game
Arts was also kind enough to include a godly soundtrack. Aside from the stain that
is the opening theme, every other track is golden. The Burg town theme is one tune
I can listen to over and over and the battle themes are spectacular. A full red
book soundtrack was one of the calling cards of most Sega CD games and this is one
set of tracks you will find yourself listening to in your car stereo (whether
you'll admit it or not). Luna's theme is a gaming classic, as far as I'm concerned,
and although the Playstation version went ape with the tunes and took them to the
next level (that boat theme! Gasp!), I'm a bit partial to the original selection.
Luckily for Playstation gamers, that version included the Sega CD songs on the
bonus disc.
So there you have it. One of the greatest RPGs ever made, for a system almost no
one owns anymore. When you consider that WD wrapped all this goodness in a foil
cover manual and insert with full-color CD art (seven in all), it's no surprise
that this was the best-selling Sega CD game of all time (until the sequel hit) and
makes it a no-brainer. Have the Playstation version, you say? Big deal. This is
where it all started and it deserves more than just a nostalgic mention. If you can
forgive the low difficulty level, there's a lot of great gaming to be had here. I
know my copy is safe on my shelf.

monopolizing the pool table. The game explores the duo's interpersonal interactions
with other patrons at the bar: There's the Fly, an aloof cool guy; Ted and Gomez,
braindead surfer dudes trying to pick up the ladies, and who are thinly-veiled
parodies of Bill & Ted; Poindexter, the nerd who is also trying to work up the
courage to talk to the women; and Flo and Tiger, a pair of leather-clad tough
chicks whose interest is beating the main subjects of the game so that they can
control the bar music and play their Megadeth videotape. Each person or pair has
own their ideas about what an ideal INXS video should or should not contain. The
specifications normally come in the form of a set of pictures they either do or
don't want to see, and perhaps some effects.
The game features three INXS videos from which to choose: "Heaven Sent", "Not
Enough Time", and "Baby Don't Cry".
After receiving the video specifications, the player enters the video editing
console in the EditChallenge mode. From this console, the player can view and
select between 3 video streams that are playing. The selected stream will be edited
into the final video. One stream is the original video while the other 2 feature
assorted random footage that nonetheless often carries images that happened to have
been specified in the video request. The video editing console also allows the
player to apply a variety of real-time filters, such as mosaic and blur filters,
RGB color filters, strobe and motion filters, lyric subtitles, among others.
The game also allows the user to enter a mode called U-Direct. Rather than being
competitive, U-Direct allows the player to use the console to create any type of
video and also save the results.

_________________________
When I was growing up, all I had on the Sega side was the Genesis 2. I had heard
about the "Sega CD" and had always wanted one. Sadly, that never happened in those
days. So, years later I now own three Sega CD units. I have played many Sega CD
games, and I have always heard about the Make My Video series and how horrible it
is. For that reason, I decided to give it a whirl but review it as if I were
reviewing it back in the days when the game was new.
When starting Marky Mark & the Funky Bunch, you're greeted by a short little
cinematic intro, like a movie from the early '90s. Then you're given your purpose:
you have to have to make a music video to the specifications that are requested.
They can be dumb, simple requirements or major things, all of which seem silly. At
least you do get to pick a song, or let the computer decide what song you are
challenged with.
When in the editing mode, you are presented with three video tracks. Initially, the
real music video is on the left, then later on in the song it moves to the middle,
then lastly, to the right. The other two tracks are quite dumb, to be honest, and
ranging from old cartoons, old movies, to silly little things (silly as in really
dumb). You will most likely find yourself getting out of the Edit Challenge mode,
and going into the U-Direct mode (you can do this by pressing Start+A+C, then
selecting U-Direct). The U-Direct mode allows you to do whatever you want, without
being pressured to make a video to some "specification."
Graphically, I'd say it was decent for the time, but you can seriously see the
limited color palette of the Genesis lacking, especially when you've got three
different video tracks on the screen to deal with. When editing, the video tracks
are small. Even on my 27" TV, the videos were only like 5" big. Once done, you can
then watch them in a slightly larger size, still quite small though. Oh, and you
can also manipulate the video with some special effects, such as mosaic pixelation,
color pallet modifications, and color filters (which when applied, makes the video
very hard to see).
The sound quality sounds like a record player that is only mono. I am not kidding
on this. The sound isn't even in stereo, so actually trying to listen to the music
isn't the most entertaining. This kind of defeats the purpose of using a CD in the
first place. With the ultra low resolution video tracks used, they could of tried
stereo sound.. If not, at least audio with better sampling.
The music selection, for the time, is ok, but the last song on the CD, "I Need
Money" isn't good, to be honest. "Good Vibrations" and "You Gotta Believe" were
popular for the time (at least where I lived, which was across the street from the
Wahlberg's house), and I do have fun mixing those videos, but as said, with the
choice for video tracks, that's hard to do. Do you really want to hear the music to
"Good Vibrations," and see some old black and white cartoon? No, of course not.
Overall, Marky Mark & the Funky Bunch had potential; they just needed to put more
effort into it, but alas, they didn't, and the game became a flop. My score may be
a little generous, but it's definitely a better score than the other bands in the
series would get (can you think of Kris Kross?).

Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1993
Developer: System Sacom
Players: 1
_________________________
Despite bad press and slow sales, developers in the early to mid 90s continued to
pursue full motion video games as a viable genre. Unsuccessful for the most part,
there were a few titles among the crap that actually seemed to have some potential.
One of them was Vic Tokai's spooky thriller Mansion of Hidden Souls, an on-rails
adventure which straddled the line between FMV game and digital comic. It made a
decent enough attempt, but lamentably stumbled in more than a few places.
The entire premise surrounding Mansion is a somewhat strange, though it may not
seem so now, in this age of debris-pushing interstellar princes and portable dog-
raising. Back in 1994, though, it was more than a little weird. When Jonathan's
little sister finds a butterfly in an open field, she wishes she could turn into
one. In a flash, she disappears inside a mysterious mansion. Luckily for her, she's
in good company, as the house is populated by other butterflies - all of which used
to be people too. The problem is, unless Jonathan can rescue her before the
mysterious "hunter" reaches her first, she'll be permanently transformed into a
butterfly and added to the mansion's collection.
To save his sister, Jonathan enters the mansion, exploring rooms and solving
puzzles. Viewed through a first-person perspective, the adventure places you in one
room after the next, searching for clues and talking to the insect inhabitants -
all of whom are very forthcoming with information. Gameplay is very simple, as the
spooky house - big and filled with plenty of places to explore - never becomes too
unnavigable.
Therein...unfortunately, is where the problem lies. Sure, the house is easy to

navigate, and the puzzles won't take hours to complete. What happens is that this
user-friendly gameplay makes the game more than a bit too easy, meaning you'll blow
through the whole thing in about two hours. The main culprit is the on-rails
movement system. As you enter a room, you're taken from the entrance to the only
points of interest inside, with no middle points in between. The rooms are very
well-detailed and look great, with video that's quite clear despite the Sega CD's
terrible compression. This is all well and good, but you can't touch anything.
Heck, you can't even look at most of what's around you.
That's probably the single biggest problem with the whole game. When I'm told to
explore a mansion, I really want to explore it. Moving through a huge room all the
way to the back, just to look at a bookcase, doesn't impress. Let me look at
everything, let me roam freely! I know this may have been too much to ask for a
Sega CD title, but this was a CD title. Wasn't the whole point of Sega's little
add-on to push gaming to "the next level"?
Once you get past this significant hurdle, there is a nice little game to be
played. As I stated earlier, the environments are very pretty, and there's plenty
of dialogue. The added use of the Mega Mouse makes the already basic navigation a
breeze. Too few titles made use of it, and to see it used here was a nice surprise.
I do love how Mansion of Hidden Souls' case portrays is as though it were a 16-bit
Resident Evil. The actual product couldn't be any further removed from Capcom's
flagship series. You'll never be scared while playing, and while the soundtrack
(done by the great Yuji Nomi) and graphics do come off as eerie and foreboding,
there's never a truly terrifying moment. This didn't bother me too much, as I never
really expected a scarefest. I actually prefer the atmosphere it projects, to be
truthful. The emphasis here is more on exploration and puzzle-solving than
survival, which lets you focus on the mystery itself.
At the end of the day, it all comes down to gameplay, and that is something that
Mansion of Hidden Souls does an adequate job at delivering. Though limited and all
too straight-forward, the experience is a pleasant one (much more so then the
Saturn pseudo sequel). As long as you're not expecting Enemy Zero or even D, you
should enjoy the few hours of play it offers. After that, there isn't really much
left to do. Still, play through it once and see one of the early FMV thrillers.
It's a unique experience on the system, and a pretty good one at that.

[CD - MICKEY MANIA]

Mickey Mania: The Timeless Adventures of Mickey Mouse
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Platformer
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1994
Publisher: Sony Interactive Studios America
_________________________
Mickey Mania was released for the Sega CD during the fall of 1994, developed by
Traveler's Tales and published by Sony Imagesoft. MM is a 2D side-scrolling
platform game that chronicles many of Mickey Mouse's most memorable cartoons. Each
and every level in the game is based on a Mickey Mouse cartoon. This game has
achieved legendary status by many because of the game's silky smooth gameplay,
rock-solid control, pristine graphics, and sound that is a treat for the ears.
MM's gameplay consists of you going around the various levels in the game and
dispatching of various foes that inhabit the levels. You can defeat enemies through
two methods; you can either jump on their heads, or you can assault them with a
barrage of marbles. There are 24 stages in this game and all of them are jam-packed
with action and nostalgia. The levels are pretty unique and each of them has their
own goals, for example, the first level is based on the first Mickey Mouse cartoon
ever, Steamboat Willie, in this level, everything except Mickey appears in black
and white and your goal is to meet up with Willie. All of the levels in the game,
with the exception of a 3D moose chasing level, take place in 2D.
MM controls like a dream. Mickey's moves, namely the jump and the marble throw can
be executed without a hitch thanks to the game's super-responsive controls. The
controls in this game can be learned rather quickly, the learning curve for the
controls is so low, that by the end of the first level, you'll know your way around
the controls and you'll never have a single problem with them.
The graphics in MM are amazing, simply amazing Each and every one of the game's 24
levels looks just like the cartoon it's based on and are chock-full of little
touches that really add to the nostalgia factor in the game. As I mentione before,
the first level takes place in black and white, with a film strip going down the
screen, the film has scratches and other flaws on it that really help to give the
game an authentic look and feel to it, also give you a feel for how cartoons were
back in 1928 (when Steamboat Willie was made), it also helps to give you a sense of
respect for the cartoon and it really gets you into the game because it adds to the
feel of the game.
Mickey Mania mixes old-school cartoons with new-school technical effects. Scaling
and rotation are used throughout the game, and they are used perfectly because they
are only used when it's appropriate. Scaling is used throughout the entire
aformentioned moose hunt level and it really adds to the excitement of the game,
when you see that giant moose barreling down on you your blood pumps and you run as
fast as you can, but you also have to avoid various obstacles in your path, adding
to the excitement. This is an example of how the game uses scaling where it's
appropriate, it wasn't used in a cheap manner just to show off, it really added to
the excitement of the game. Rotation is used in an equally brilliant manner when
you have to run up to the top a rotating tower, all the while having to avoid
various obstacles, such as enemies and falling barrels. The effect looks amazing
and adds to the feel of the game because it looks just like the scene it is based
on.
The animation in the game is perfect, simply perfect. This is because each and
every frame of animation used in this game was drawn by actual Disney animators
giving it an authentic look that few, if any, games can match. It really gives the
game a look all its own.
The sound throughout the game is amazing across the board. The game is chock-full
of happy-go-lucky, feel-good music that fits the game perfectly and will remain
etched in your brain. The various sound effects in the game, from the sound of
Mickey jumping, to the sound of a marble smacking an enemy, all have a comedic edge
to them that adds even more to the happy-go-lucky feel of the game. The multitude
of voice snippets from Mickey compliment all of the above nicely, they are crystal
clear and really add to the feel of the game.
Overall, Mickey Mania is a must-buy, that is as long as you don't own the Genesis
verstion of the game. The differences between the two versions of the game are
negligible, with the only major differences in the sound department, in which the
Sega CD version has more voice quips and clearer sound. The game is still a great
trip down memory lane and is jam-packed with great graphics, amazing sound, and
super smooth gameplay that will keep you glued to the edge of your seat.

A FMV rail shooter placing you in the helmet of rookie chopper gunner "Joker."
Terrorists have kidnapped a German biochemist and taken him to a Middle Eastern oil
refinery, where he is forced to work on a lethal toxin. Joker and crew must fly to
the refinery, shooting down enemy tanks and helicopters, then Joker must rappel
down to the refinery and rescue the chemist on foot.
The helicopter sections follow a pattern similar to Tomcat Alley, showing brief
clips of the cast in the cockpit, followed by a "nose camera" shot of an enemy
approaching. During this shot, you have the ability to move a set of crosshairs
over the enemy and press the "fire" button. If you're on target, you are rewarded
with military archival footage of helicopters shooting rockets, and close up
footage of models exploding.
The on-foot sections follow an identical pattern, though with hand-held cameras
placing you in the "eyes" of Joker, and black-clad guards taking the place of
helicopters. Otherwise, the idea of having a few seconds to react and aim
crosshairs is the same. The plot is expanded through occasional cutscenes in both
the helicopter and foot sections.

Some of its most prolific support has been for the Sega CD. Already, six titles are

Classic Gaming Expo in San Jose, California. Mr. Thomasson was kind enough to give
us some of his time to discuss their efforts to bring new titles to the Sega CD.
Sega-16: Tell us a bit about Mighty Mighty Missile. How long was it in production?
Michael Thomasson: Our newest title, Mighty Mighty Missile, was programmed in-house
and was by far the most difficult and most fun to complete. Not only is it a new
game for the system, but it also pushed the boundaries of the Sega CD as it it
moves more sprites/objects per second than any other Sega CD game ever
manufactured. And we proudly state that it does it without any slowdown, which was
a common problem for such games during the 16-bit era.

[CD - MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS]

Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Action
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1995
Developer: SEGA
Publisher: SEGA
_________________________
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was a television show ported over to the United States
after being seen on Japanese television under the title Kyouryuu Sentai Zyuranger.
The show had enjoyed overnight phenomenal success, with its intense fighting
sequences involving larger-than-life battle droids in end-of-the-world type fights
to save the world. Long story short, video game companies salivated at the money-
making opportunity of bringing these heroes to home game consoles. The Sega Genesis
was offered a multi-playing arcade-style game that many children found incredibly
fun to play together. The Sega CD, however, involved a game creator who was short
on time and had to make something with full motion video that could be considered a
game. What we got was a trainwreck.
In truth, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is barely a game at all. From beginning to
the end, the game is literally tantamount to watching footage from the original
U.S. aired television show. The intro is the same as that of the show, and it then
leaves you with a bland-looking title screen, in which you're able to select from
three levels of difficulty and start the game.
From then on, the entire experience is composed of scenes and footage from the
show, and you're graced with plenty of it, what with the whole game spanning all
the key scenes to several different episodes. Once it finally arrives at one of the
Power Ranger's fighting sequences, you finally start to see what the gameplay is
like. You have to actually hit directions or buttons on the gamepad that appear
onscreen. When a Power Ranger happens to kick to the left or right, the
corresponding arrow will quickly flash on the screen, and you'll have to hit that
direction quickly, or you'll take damage. You'll also have to hit buttons in the
same quick thinking manner. The only other thing you have is a life meter, so to
speak. And if you hit a wrong move or miss one, your life meter will go down a
little. When it's depleted, you get a full motion video cutscene of the show where
the Power Rangers' zords were destroyed by Rita Repulsa, the villian.
If you've seen past titles like Wirehead and Night Trap and were dissapointed by
them, you'll find that Mighty Morphin Power Rangers takes things to an entirely new
level of disappointment. While those games were entirely FMV, you were at least
able to take different routes to achieve different endings. The Power Rangers for
Sega CD is a completely linear video with no alternate routes whatsoever. By
mashing all the keys that the screen tells you, you are essentially just doing what
you can to keep the video going. Try to imagine what it would be like if Fox Kids
aired your favorite tv show, provided a controller with you for the duration of the
episode, and told you, "Now, if you want to see the whole episode, you have to keep
pressing the buttons we tell you." Basically, if the screen were completely blank
with no video at all, you could still play this game.
But to be fair, the target audience of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was quite
obvious: small, inexperienced children who idolized the Power Rangers, and they're
the ones who will actually appreciate this game. What sets it apart from other FMV
releases is the fast and furious button play. The directions and buttons are
pressed at so many points of battle that you will almost feel as if you're
controlling the action; however, if you're any other kind of gamer, I can only pray
you paid a dollar for this game. No more, no less.

_________________________
The Misadventures of Flink is a Jump'n Run set in the fantasy world of Imagica. The
evil wizard Wicked Wainwright has captured the four elders and it is up to Flink, a
wizard's apprentice, to set them free and defeat Wicked Wainwright.
Apart from the usual platformer elements, the game has a unique feature: Flink's
ability to create spells. Whenever the game is paused, Flink can combine three
ingredients to create a spell. Ingredients can be collected throughout the game.
They are usually carried around by a certain type of enemy or hidden in treasure
chests. There are ten different spells, the "recipes" which are contained in
scrolls that are given to Flink by rescued elders or found within certain levels.
The spells include different attack spells (for example a demon that accompanies
Flink and attacks his enemies), a shield spell, a shrink spell, a quick grow spell
that lets certain plants grow so that Flink can reach new areas of a level, magic
keys that open locked treasure chests and more. Casting spells uses up magic energy
that can be replenished by collecting magic bottles or defeating enemies.
Similar to the Sonic games, when Flink is hit, he looses all of his magic energy
and has only limited time to pick it up again. If he is hit while having no magic
energy, he loses a life.

Mortal Kombat

Genre: VS Fighter
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1994

Players: 1 or 2 VS
_________________________
While Midway Games was programming the Sega CD version of the arcade powerhouse
Mortal Kombat, the publisher, Acclaim, promised the result would be "bigger,
better, louder and meaner" than any of the other home versions available. What they
finally heaped on violence-starved customers was essentially the old Genesis
version with a CD-quality soundtrack.
Soon after making a killing in the arcades, Mortal Kombat was released on several
home systems, including the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo. Both of these ports
underwent drastic changes in the process, including audiovisual alterations and
downgrades, in order to compensate for both of the home systems' limitations. The
result was still Mortal Kombat all right, but the Genesis version lacked the visual
punch of its big brother, and the graphically-superior SNES version suffered from
watered-down violence and stinted controls.
But for the arcade perfectionist, there was a light at the end of the tunnel: The
much anticipated Sega CD version was supposed to remedy all the problems of the
previous releases and deliver a true arcade experience.
It didn't.
Those who had waited months for the definitive home version of the bloody brawler
were sorely disappointed with the final Sega CD product. Instead of emulating the
superior graphics of the quarter-cruncher, or even the problematic but pretty Super
Nintendo offering, the programmers had simply added a few more frames of animation
to the existing Genesis game. It seems like a cheap move, and it was. But
thankfully, the reinserted frames turn the stiff, "cardboard cutout" characters of
the Genesis version into much more fluid and realistic fighters. Kicks and punches
flow much better, and characters bob up and down instead of performing the same
three frames of animation indefinitely. Moreover, Sub-zero looks like he did in the
arcade, meaning he no longer has to share his fighting stance with his palette
swapped rival, Scorpion, in the name of saving ROM space.
Unfortunately, the fluid animation doesn't save the graphics from looking grainy
and washed out, thanks to the Sega CD's limited color choices and the already
lacking Genesis game on which MKCD is based. Johnny Cage's portrait on the
character select screen, for example, is a blotchy mess. His teeth are nothing more
than a white blob, where as in the arcade version, one could practically count his
fillings. Most backgrounds look decent, but some are mysteriously empty (such as
the Buddha temple stage). Given the abilities of the Sega CD unit, there is no
reason why the graphics couldn't have at least come close to those of the arcade
original, yet we're left with a half-hearted hack job that rests somewhere between
the Genesis and the SNES ports.
Mercifully, the sound fares much better. The music seems to have been sampled
directly from the arcade game, and it sets the stage for battle nicely. Foreboding,
vaguely Asian tunes compliment the game's dark themes and seedy locales. The
fighters grunt and yell during battles, but a few of the screams and groans from
the arcade game curiously go missing. The sounds of combat are bland and
uninspired, but they get the job done: Generic punching noises accompany every
successful hit, and a forgettable "wooshing" noise plays whenever a character
whiffs a roundhouse kick or takes to the air.
Although there's not much in the way of extra features in the game itself, there is
some extra content on the Mortal Kombat CD that can't be found elsewhere. When they
first power up the game, players are treated to a grainy video splicing gameplay
footage with the old Mortal Kombat TV commercial. (Laughably, the in-game footage
is all from the SNES version.) While it's not much on its own, it brings back some
fond memories for those of us old enough to remember these infamous ads. Also
included are extra songs tacked onto the CD after the normal game music. These
tracks are remixes of the now famous Mortal Kombat theme song heard in the intro
video, tracks that aren't even on the official Mortal Kombat album! Lastly, the
programmers were nice (or lazy) enough to leave the original Genesis cart's
"bloodless" fatalities intact in the programming, accessible via a code.
While they're all rather shoddy reworkings of existing moves, when you've seen Sub-
Zero tear off everyone's head at least 14 million times, it's a fun change of pace.
While the extras on this disc shine, sadly, the actual gameplay doesn't. There are
only seven selectable fighters versus the ten or twelve that were common in
fighting games of the early 90s, and each character has the same set of basic
moves. Ironically, the same uniformity that makes this game so easy to pick up also
destroys much of its replay value. What few moves you are in control of are
drastically overpowered. Uppercuts send players reeling, foot sweeps can easily be
used over and over again to "cheap" your way to victory, and to quote what my
friend Ian used to say, "Your jump kick is like a super move." The entire game can
be easily conquered with these three attacks alone. There's not much in this game
to keep head-to-head fighting freaks battling each other, and even less to keep the
solo player interested. Mortal Kombat is fun for a while, but like bouncing on a
trampoline, you're eventually going to get a headache from the repetitiveness of it
all.
With a six-button controller, it's easy to make the characters do pretty much
whatever you want. Impressive uppercuts, deadly fireballs, and crazy flying kicks
are mere button taps away. Even the fatalities are easy to perform. Due in part to
the simplistic design of the original, a three-button pad works better than one
might expect with this game. A pause feature, however, should have been
implemented. The start button is used to block incoming attacks on both pads,
giving players with the six-button controller their choice of three separate block
buttons. Call me old fashioned, but three block buttons is two too many.
Some players have a problem with the loading times in between battles, but it's
actually not too bad. It takes about ten seconds for a fight to load, which is
about the norm for CD games of the time. And the load time for the fatalities?
Milliseconds. Actually, the time in between a successful fatality input and the
actual execution (excuse the pun) serves to increase the player's anticipation.
Like one of the Sega CD's other fighting games, Eternal Champions, once you hear
that CD drive spinning, you know that digitized death is coming your way!
With Mortal Kombat on Sega CD, gamers received a mediocre port of a lackluster
game. This disc delivers a better experience than the Genesis cart, but in the same
way that Bush managed to defeat Gore in the 2000 United States presidential
election: Barely. Though not without its occasional charms, like uppercutting
hapless victims into a spike-filled pit below or catching the opponent off guard
with Scorpion's notorious spear move, Mortal Kombat on Sega CD (or in any form, for
that matter) will likely leave players unimpressed. However, if one boots up this
game with few expectations, they're likely to catch themselves having a bit of fun,
especially with a second player to face for Mortal Kombat supremacy. The game
provides a decent challenge without being too difficult, and it controls easily
enough that one can pick up a game pad and, within a few moments, have a fighting
chance.
The era of Mortal Kombat dominating the arcades has come and gone, and without the
hype (both negative and positive) we are left with a mildly entertaining martial
arts romp that's more fun as a nostalgia piece than an actual game. If you can find
a copy somewhere on the cheap, pick it up and give it a whirl, especially if you've
played the Genesis cart to death. (Ha! That was a pun!) It won't be the best money
you ever spent, but it's likely to inspire your friends to imitate whatever it is
that Rayden yells during his "superman" move. And that, my friends, is priceless.

_________________________
When picking up a Genesis, either at a local garage sale or out of the dust from
your basement, the first thing that comes to mind is the games. With every system
there were a few select titles that were simply essential to delivering the ideal
console gaming experience, and the Genesis was no exception. Chances are the first
title that comes to mind for many if not all is Sonic The Hedgehog, which is truly
a classic. But what about the best games with multiple players? What is a fun,
addicting game with an easy learning curve which will have you and your buddies
trash talking for hours on end? That game my friends is NBA Jam!
Everything you remember from your cartridge days with the Genesis is here on the
Sega CD version. The modes of play are still the same-giving you the option to
choose either a "Team Game" or "Head To Head." You can enter your initials to save
your records so don't worry, you'll have the stats to back up that trash talk.
Select whichever mode you're up for and get ready for some intense foul free
basketball action! The control scheme is just as you remember it, A to shoot, B for
turbo, C for defensive moves, and B+C to get a little rough (but hey, who doesn't
want to throw an elbow at Shaq after that fifth helicopter dunk?).
I know what many of you are thinking; "Glenn, you're right, NBA Jam is amazing. Buy
why should I purchase it for Sega CD? What's the difference between the cart and
the CD version?" Well I'm glad you asked. And you will be too, because in this
case, Iguana Entertainment did NOT take NBA Jam to the next level with this CD
release.
One of the things I always loved about NBA Jam was the ability to toss out some
quick trash talk, challenge my buddy to a game, and take it to `em on the court all
within a matter of minutes. Well if you're into talking trash then this game is
defiantly right up your alley. You'll have plenty of time to discuss your precision
passing, your dominating defense, your oppressive offense, your last vacation, your
favorite book, as well as your opinion on global warming, thanks to the horrendous
loading times. From booting up, to starting a game, to announcing the teams that
are playing, to advancing through half-time (and loading the video), this game will
leave you with time to kill. So bring a book... or three.
In the graphics department the game looks and feels exactly like the cartridge-
based version, so much so that if you had both of them running side by side, there
would be no difference whatsoever, except during half time. Here Iguana did take
the time to incorporate some full motion video clips of NBA players driving the
ball to the hole, followed by your first half stats. The video of course is a
little grainy; however it is a noble effort nonetheless. Although no real graphical
improvements were added, at least they did not tamper with a classic and render it
an eyesore in the NBA Jam family.
Iguana did have one slam dunk with this port of a classic, and that is in the audio
department. When I placed this disc in my CDX the first thing I noticed was the
music in the opening, a simply awesome theme that gets you pumped up and ready to
hit the court. New music was also added during the games that is lively, catchy,
and actually makes the game itself more fun to play, something that is hard to do
with a classic such as this.
I pride myself on my defense. Ok, so maybe I pride myself more on the physical act
of shoving my opponents face into the floor, but I take pride in it nevertheless.
Defense is something that should be practiced well in this version, as I found the
A.I. hitting shots from half court a little more than normal. Sometimes the A.I.
will line itself up from half court, or even further, and simply shoot the ball as
normal and make a perfect three (and not just in the last seconds of the period).
If you hear those fateful words "ugly shot!" you can be almost certain that "it's
good!" will find its way into your ears shortly.
NBA Jam has always been a game that was a blast to play. Whether you have the
classic version, 32x port, Tournament Edition, or the Sega CD format, you are most
certainly guaranteed to have a good time. The improvements in audio as well as the
addition of video clips, while fairly good, detract from the game in the long run
due to the loading times that they bring with them. If you have a little time on
your hands then this game will not let you down whatsoever.

[CD - NIGHT STRIKER]

Night Striker
Region: Japan
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Racing
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1993
Players: 1
_________________________
Taito had created plenty of great arcade games during the '80s and throughout the
early 1990s. One of my favorite from the era was Night Striker. Taking the best
gameplay elements from OutRun, Afterburner, Thunder Blade, and Space Harrier; Night
Striker is one really great rail shooter that should be played by everyone. You
have to understand that Night Striker runs on very advanced 2D sprite scaling
hardware and porting the game onto any cartridge based 16-bit system would had been
impossible. When the Mega CD attachment came out in Japan, its sprite scaling
abilities were able to handle most of Night Striker. So when Taito ported it onto
the Mega CD, I knew I had to play it. However, after playing for about twenty-five
minutes, I had a sour taste in my mouth.
Unlike in Space Harrier, where one hit means you're dead, Night Striker uses the
shield system for your car's "health." At the start of the game you have five
shields, but you can increase your shield count if you complete a stage without
taking a single hit. After each stage, your shield number will be extended by one
point, and you lose a shield point if you get hit by either enemy fire, or crash
into an object. Learn to control the car perfectly so you'll be able to get to the
last stage with plenty of shield points!
Taken from OutRun is the level branching system (the same system as in another
Taito shooter, Darius). You can only play six stages on one credit, but there are
twenty-one stages in all. The action starts off in stage A, but later on you have
to choose a different level each time you completed a stage, and you keep choosing
levels until you have completed the game. The result is that there are many
different final stages and you must choose one in order to finally beat the game.
Luckily, each final stage has a very challenging boss, and defeating him will give
you a different ending. This gives Night Striker a high replay level because you
can always change the paths as many times as you want!
What made Night Striker so great in the arcade was its gameplay. You controlled a
flying automobile and went through many different levels of destroying enemies,
objects, and bosses. The game had you dodging a lot of enemy fire and homing
missiles, and another thing you had to worry about was not crashing into a wall, or
an object like a tree. Most of this made it home intact...notice that I said most.
The biggest problem with the Mega CD port of Night Striker is the graphics. The
arcade game requires a lot of RAM for animations, and since the Mega CD doesn't
have enough, Taito had no choice but to lower the resolution down to a pixilated
pulp in order to add in it all. The game is very pixilated and it's hard to judge
the distance from any object to your car. Even worse, the game uses few colors on
screen, and it looks terrible. It's is still playable, but at certain times it's
hard to see anything on screen. The resolution is so low at times that you don't
know what the enemy looks like from all the horrible pixilation! In the long run,
this tends to almost ruin the experience.
Since the game is in CD-ROM format, the great music from Taito's music band Zutata
remains perfectly intact. Night Striker always had that great soundtrack that you
just want to keep hearing when you finished playing the game. Luckily, you can put
the disc in a CD player and hear the great music for your enjoyment! In the options
menu, you can switch to the arranged soundtrack, but I prefer the original one for
its coolness. The sound effects are very similar to the arcade machine, but they
are down sampled because of RAM limitations. The down sampling is not bad at all
and they actually sound very good on the Mega CD.
At certain times when playing Night Striker, you'll encounter heavy slowdown that
will make the game even harder to play. An interesting fact is that the original
arcade version had little, if any slowdown whatsoever. This is mostly because Night
Striker was running on a very advanced 2D sprite scaling hardware (Taito's Z
hardware board).
Ater playing the Mega CD port of Night Striker, I was disappointed with the
pixilated graphics. The game looks so good in the arcade, but on the Mega CD it
looks like a pixilated mess! Be happy that the music and gameplay weren't
completely ruined, because that's what saved this port from being a total disaster.
Fans of the game looking for the best version might want to avoid it completely and
get the Saturn or PSX version instead, but Sega CD fans with an itch should play
this one with caution.

Five girls go to a party to a nice house on a lakeside. Five girls disappear
without a trace... Now another five girls go there, in order to spend the vacation
with the Martins, the owners of the house, in particular with the lovely Ms.
Martin. This time, you should not let them die a gruesome death! Because "nice
people" can sometimes turn out to be... yes, that's right - vampires. The whole
house is full of traps, that are intended to catch the poor innocent girls, so that
the vampires can suck their blood... ugh. Luckily, the brave adventurer is there in
order to cease to be hunted and to become a hunter instead! Set the traps so that
they will capture the villains themselves, using precise timing and good
organization.
Night Trap was the very first game that used the FMV (full-motion video) technology
with live actors. Although it didn't contain nudity or particularly gory scenes, it
was considered one of the first games to have a mature content.

[CD - PANIC!]
Panic!
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Puzzle
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1994
Developer: SEGA
Publisher: SEGA
_________________________
Every once in a while, you discover a video game that comes straight out of left
field. You can't really describe it, because there's precious little to compare it
to. You only know that you're faced with something truly inspired, truly clever. I
don't think there's a better example of that then Panic!. This game is just damned
weird.
The game opens with an animated musical number, goofy fun all the way, set to
Dixieland Jazz. It shows people in cars, phone booths, and Laundromats, pressing
buttons and then suddenly watching the machines go haywire. A driver gets walloped
by his steering wheel, and then his car's wheels become triangles. A submarine
suddenly slams shut like a book. A phone booth shoots into the sky like a rocket.
Various odd machines dance around, and then throw up.
Does any of this make any sense? Of course not. Is it funny? Yeah, sure.
This opening also sets up the plot to the game: computers around the world have
gone haywire. You play the role of a boy who gets sucked into his television (while
playing Sega CD, no less). In order to get out, you have to somehow make your way
to the main computer system and shut everything down. I'd suggest that he add a
couple more numbers to the dates on the computer, but this is all taking place
almost a decade before Y2K.
Panic! is a title that, largely, involves clicking buttons. There isn't any hand-
eye coordination beyond moving a mouse around. The whole game is a mammoth
collection of screens, with a series of buttons to press. Some buttons send you to
another screen, but most of the time, you press a button, and something funny
happens. And that, dear readers, is about it.
The meat and potatoes of this game is its zany humor. This game draws all its
inspiration from Chuck Jones cartoons, Frank Zappa records, and Monty Python. Let's
start at the beginning of the game. The boy is facing an elevator door with two
buttons. Press one button, and the door opens. Press the other, and an elevator
drops on top of him.
You go inside the elevator, and see several buttons. One buttons causes the whole
screen to shrink into the size of a small box. Another pair of buttons suddenly
flattens the screen in half, leaving the boy floating, paper-thin. Still another
button causes a noisy crowd to stampede inside, through the wall.
This is great fun.
There's a terrific variety of environments to be found in Panic!. You'll find a

lawn mower in a back yard that mows down the house. There's a rocking horse, flying
through the air with small fans for wings. A room which turns into a jungle or an
ocean (complete with dolphin). A room with animal trophies that moon you. A vacuum
cleaner that sucks up the entire screen. A Mona Lisa that suddenly grows fat or
turns into a wolf. A toilet that grows a tongue and eats the kid. A car that turns
into a jumping bug. An umbrella that becomes a spider. An Aztec statue that vomits
green goop.
Some screens offer some pleasant surprises, such as the light bulb level, with its
silly patterns inside the bulbs, or the spaceship level, with its rainbows. One of
my favorite scenes is the snowfall level. The boy and his dog press a button, and
it starts snowing candy. Press another button, and it starts snowing poop. Yeah,
you read that right.
This is the kind of game that Panic! is. Very surreal, very weird, and at times
very, very funny. It's quite telling that there is no score; the computer keeps
track of the number of gags you've discovered. I've only described a tiny fraction
of what awaits you.
Panic was a late entry to the Sega CD library, and achieved some cult status among
hardcore gamers and the fanzine crowd. It was imported from Japan, where it was
known as Switch, but you would never guess this from the jokes. Everything is more
accessible and less obviously Japanese. Much of this, I'm sure, is due to the
American localization effort. All the audio effects and voices sound like they came
from just a couple people, who were probably just given a microphone and told to
start riffing.
These early CD-ROM games were experimenting with the new storage medium; gamers and
developers alike wanted something more ambitious than cartridge games with better
music (which describes, sadly, most of the Sega CD library). Panic is an excellent
collection of digitized photos, animation, music, and widely varied graphics. For
the 16-bit era, this is something of a gold standard for "cartoon" games, and it
couldn't possibly be made on cartridge. In its own way, this game set the stage for
Cyan when they created Myst a short time later.
I'll leave it for you to decide whether or not that's a "good thing" for video
games. A title like Myst or Panic! aren't games in the traditional sense, because
you're not moving blocks or driving cars or causing explosions. Isn't that a narrow
definition? It's true that most of you won't be playing Panic! for weeks on
straight, but it's terrific for social gatherings, an evening here and there. This
game, like so many others, deserves a larger audience.

[CD - PENN & TELLER (DISC 1), CD - PENN & TELLER (DISC 2)]
Penn & Teller's Smoke and Mirrors
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Puzzl
Gametype: Undefined
Developer: Absolute Entertainment
_________________________
Professional magician and comedian, co-creator and executive producer of last
year's The Aristocrats, co-author of 'How to Cheat Your Friends at Poker; The
Wisdom of Dickie Richard,' and larger half of performance duo Penn & Teller
yesterday discussed the unreleased Sega CD videogame he helped design, Penn &
Teller's Smoke and Mirrors (or Penn & Teller's S&M, as he prefers to call it), on
this daily podcast.
"It was a really mean, groovy game," said Jillette.
Smoke & Mirrors - recently spotlighted in a Waxy.org post for being bootlegged by
some awful hooligan, was developed for the ill-fated Absolute Entertainment at the
height of the first CD-ROM multimedia craze. In addition to a main adventure game
that involved killing rival magicians and ultimately debunking the 'magic' of a
Siegfried & Roy parody, the disc was also set to contain a number of magic tricks
to pull on your friends, guest appearances by both Lou Reed and Blondie's Deborah
Harry, and a little something called 'Desert Bus.'
"The best part of that I think was an idea that was not mine, not Teller's, and not
Barry Marx, who designed the game with us. It was an idea by Eddie Gorodetsky, one
of the producers on 'Two and a Half Men,' really funny guy. I think that Eddie G.
is one of the funniest guys in the world."
"Remember Janet Reno? When she was taking away our rights, instead of the people
who are now? Janet Reno was really against violent videogames, so we decided to do
this game, Eddie's original idea, it was called 'Desert Bus.'"
"'Desert Bus' was a game we thought would really appeal to people who didn't like
unrealistic games, and didn't like violence in their games. It was just like real,
loving life."
The goal of Desert Bus was to, quite simply, drive a bus from Tucson, Arizona to
Las Vegas, Nevada; a very very boring drive, as those of us who have done it know.
There were a couple catches, though: in the game, your bus could not go over 45
miles per hour. Also, it veered to the right, just ever so slightly, so you could
not simply tape down the accelerator button on your Genesis pad and leave the game
alone; you had to man the wheel at all times. Oh, and did we mention the trip takes
eight hours, in real time?
"You saw nothing. It was just desert stuff going by," said Jillette. "And there was
a little green tree hanging from the rear-view mirror, one of those things that
makes your car smell better? And it would just kind of drift in slowly to one
corner of the screen. And you couldn't take your hands off the controller, and if
you did...it didn't have a spectacular crash, it just slowly went into the sand,
and then overheated and stopped, and then the game was you being towed backwards
all the way back to Tucson."
"And when you went from Tucson to Vegas and did the full 8 hours, you had bus
stops, and the bus stops...you could stop and open the door, but no one got on. No
one's ever waiting for you. And if you went by them you weren't punished at all,
because nobody was there. It meant nothing. And a bug hit your windshield five
times during the eight hours, and that was the only animation. It was just road
after road after road. Eight hours of desert bus. And then when you got in - and I
love this - when you got into Vegas and pulled in and stopped, the counter - which
was five zeros - went to 1. You got 1 point for an eight hour shift, and then a guy
came in and said, 'Do you want to pull a double shift, Mac?' And then you could
drive back to Tucson for another eight hours for another point."
Jillette then detailed the official Desert Bus contest that Absolute had planned to
accompany the game:
"And we were planning on giving a very lavish prize for the person that got the
highest score. It was the person who got like, a hundred [points]. So 800 hours of
playing this. We were hoping that groups of people, like fraternities and stuff,
would play."
"It was going to be, you got to go on Desert Bus from Tucson to Vegas with
showgirls and a live band and just the most partying bus ever. You got to Vegas,
we're going to put you up at the Rio, big thing, and then, you know, big shows."
"It was a HUGE prize. It was dedicated to Janet Reno."
"The really sad part of this is that Barry Marx, who was the brains behind it and
working with us, and a dear dear friend of mine, he had this massive heart attack
out of the blue and died. So I think he would have a website certainly that gave
all the instructions and everything, because it was really his baby, and a very
funny idea."

[CD - PITFALL - THE MAYAN ADVENTURE]

Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Platformer
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1994
_________________________
Activision released the blockbuster hit Pitfall! on the Atari 2600 back in 1982 to
huge success, then ported it to many other consoles. Later, they released the
sequel Pitfall II: Lost Caverns, and it eclipsed the first in every way possible,
for which reason Activision promptly ported it to several consoles. It then decided
to make a sequel in the form of Super Pitfall for the NES, which fell flat on its
face, and gamers everywhere thought the series was going to end on bad terms.
In 1994, however, Activision decided to right its wrongs with Super Pitfall and win
gamers back with its release of Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure. It took the sprawling
feeling of Pitfall! and Pitfall II and broke them into stages with the same amount
of exploration as the originals. Each level was packed with hidden secrets, and to
top it off, the original game is hidden in the one of the stages waiting to be
discovered.
Pitfall: the Mayan Adventure, (henceforth referred to as just Pitfall) is one of

the greatest games on the Sega CD, as well as one of the greatest games of the
whole 16-bit era. The PC version takes the prize as the best overall version
because of its brighter colors, but the Sega CD version is the best console version
that you can get.
Most have played some form of Pitfall! on a classic system, so I won't go into too
much detail on those. Mayan Adventure is the 16-bit update to the series, and those
of you afraid to say the name Pitfall! in fear of the NES Super Pitfall, don't
worry and just let your fears all fall away. Pitfall plays just like Earthworm Jim
or the Jungle Book, it features huge elaborate levels in a jungle setting, and most
versions - save for the Jaguar one - have mesmerizing graphics. Attention to detail
is paid in every aspect, all of the enemies are animated superbly, every tree, rock
and background looks like it was painted and then transferred to the game; they
look that good.
The story this time around is that Pitfall Harry Jr. is out to save his father (the
hero from the original version), who has been captured by the Mayans. On his
journey he will battle thirteen stages and encounter the evil Mayan leader at the
end and, man, can he dish out a killer punishment to Harry. There are five areas to
explore, starting in the jungle then moving on to a waterfall, an abandoned mine,
Mayan runes, then finally a Mayan Temple. Each stage will throw so many traps at
you that you won't know what's coming. To make up for it, Harry has several new
weapons and tricks up his sleeve, like explosive stones, a sling and even
boomerangs. This game is sure to take up some time to complete, as it's no a walk
in the park to finish. You can climb vines as well as swing and slide on them, and
some areas even having you crossing vines while crocodiles are chasing after you.
Later stages have you riding on reckless mine cars dodging obstacles, while the
final stage has you trying to avoid huge rolling wheels like Indiana Jones did in
The Last Crusade. Everything keeps you guessing.
Littered in the game are secrets and hidden bonus stages. There are bonus stages
that have you playing Simon on the control pad to gain extra lives. And like I said
earlier, the original Pitfall! is also a hidden bonus stage that can be found in
the first runes stage. Classic Pitfall! fans will instantly recognize the sounds,
as some of the old ones are used in this game to add nostalgia, and even some of
the old blocky single color enemies from the original Atari 2600 version appear
here in their original form to add even more charm.
I haven't even gotten to the good part yet: the soundtrack. I can honestly say that
it is probably one of the best soundtracks I have ever heard before. Each track
fits the level it accompanies - the music in the Mayan temples is especially
creepy, and I found myself more than once popping the PC version into my CD player
just to listen to it; it's that good.
I can't say enough about Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure. It has to be experienced to
be understood, and most have played this game on some 16-bit console. However, if
you are one of the few that have slipped through the cracks, find a copy
(preferably the Sega CD version) since it features all thirteen stages, unlike the
ports to other consoles that only feature ten stages. Seriously, this is one of my
favorite games of all time. Most other ports have flaws to some extent and are
missing stages, but this version has perfect graphics, CD quality sound, and
perfect gameplay. No matter how hard I try to find flaws, I can't find a single one
so grab this and enjoy.

[CD - POPFUL MAIL]

Popful Mail
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1995
Developer: Falcom
Players: 1
_________________________
As the next-to-last game released by Working Designs for the Sega CD, Popful Mail
gave gamers of that software-starved system something to smile about. Action/RPGs
were not very common on Sega's system, and to get one with thirty-nine speaking
parts totaling two and a half hours, along with twenty minutes of animated cut
scenes, was almost too much to ask for. I remember making the long trek on foot to
a friend's house to see this game (such excursions were common for my under-age
friends and me). It was nothing to really get excited about graphically, but that
intro! Those voices! Right then and there I vowed to somehow garner enough cash to
get myself a Sega CD. Unfortunately, the Saturn's impending release would occupy my
attention (and limited cash flow) and the game would have to wait for a few years.
When I finally did get a copy, I promptly proceeded to kick myself for having
waited so long.
Popful Mail tells the story of an ambitious bounty hunter named Mail who is longing
for that one big score. After a failed attempt at capturing Nuts Cracker (leader of
the Ginger Bread Grifter Gang), she drags herself into town and stumbles upon the
biggest bounty of them all: the evil magician Muttonhead. Mail takes up the
challenge and in turn finds herself as the only one who can stop Muttonhead from
breaking the Black Seal and reviving the ancient evil of Kazyr, Necros, and Ulgar
(funny how all these ancient evils are all casually asleep and there's always a
priest or magician able to revive them). Mail sets out on her quest and finds a few
friends along the way, including Tatt, Muttonhead's former pupil, and Gaw, a flying
plump little dragon who always refers to himself in the third person. Both Tatt and
Gaw become playable and you can switch between them and Mail at any time.
When you first embark upon your adventure, you can only choose the forest. As you
proceed through the game's different sections (each divided into multiple areas),
you have the option of returning to any stage you've already completed. This is
good for building up your cash reserve or for going back for items and chests you
may have missed. There are plenty of chests peppered around each level, so it's
necessary to retrace your steps sometimes to makes sure no goodies are left behind.
Each village you come to has a store that will heal you up (for a price) and sell
you equipment and items. Villagers also offer some pretty humorous dialogue, and
many of them will take the time to help by providing some vital information or
sometimes even ridicule poor Mail. The mine diggers can be downright cold!
There's nothing hard about the controls here. The A button is used for attack and B
is for jumping, end of story. This is your typical horizontal hack-'n-slash
gameplay, folks, and there aren't any combos or multiple attacks here. There is
some variety to be had by changing characters, as both Tatt and Gaw can attack from
a distance.
Pressing the C button brings up the menu, from which you can choose and equip
items, change characters, load & save your game, and access the options menu. The
game thankfully pauses when you do this so you can peruse your belongings in peace.
The options contain your standard stereo and voice choices.
Holding the D pad down will make Mail crouch and hold up her shield (if you have
one), allowing her to deflect enemy shots. You can't block melee attacks so the
best thing to do is us the old "hit and run" tactic.
As I said earlier, the visuals aren't jaw-dropping. That doesn't mean they stink.
Far from it. Everything is nice and detailed, and the colors are crisp and lively
in most stages. Characters and enemies are well-sized and animate cleanly. Most of
your foes look pretty non-threatening (would you be scared of a pot bellied badger
with a sword?) and add to the light atmosphere of the game. There is some decent
parallax in some parts and the environments are varied enough to press you on to
see what's next. Little graphical touches, such as winding chains and lazily
floating clouds, are scattered about and are pleasant to the eye, although things
like this were common in most games at the time.
I personally like the style created here. Too many RPGs released up to this point
tended to paint a world on the brink of chaos, fueled by evil, and overcome with
despair. PM goes in a different direction, instead having villagers crack jokes and
even make fun of their situation. The light, almost campy air of the game is
refreshing and very funny.
We take in-game speech for granted nowadays, but back in 1995 it was still
something that impressed when well used. Popful Mail makes better use of voice
acting than any other game on the Sega CD, with the exception of Lunar 2: Eternal
Blue . Every major scene, including most of the boss battles, are voiced, and with
over two hours of speech, that makes for quite a few conversations. Each character
has a unique style as well. For example, Slick, a would-be adventurer armed with
only a pocket knife, has a high pitched voice that makes Mail go nuts. Tatt, her
sorcerer companion, is very soft spoken and has excellent command of the English
language. My favorite, by far, has to be Nuts Cracker. You haven't lived until
you've heard him yell "boomba!" in his ?ber cheesy Italian accent. Thankfully,
everything said is also written on-screen, so you'll never miss any of the corny
jokes.
After hearing the musical red book bliss that was Lunar: Silver Star Story, it was
a bit of a letdown that PM 's music is PCM. There are plenty of good tunes here,
and to have been able to hear them in my CD player would have been sweet. The
ending track is red book though, and is sung by Jennifer Stigile, the same person
who sang the opening themes for both Playstation Lunar games, as well as the theme
for Magic Knight Rayearth on Saturn. Good stuff!
As for the game' sounds, there's nothing truly noteworthy. I guess WD shot their
wad on the voices and decided not to change any of the sound effects. It would have
helped if they had done so, as most of them sound very ordinary and bland.
Anyone who's a fan of Ys: Book 1 & 2 will dive right into Popful Mail. Action/RPG
fans will also feel at home. I can honestly say that even if you don't fall into
either category, you owe it to yourself to check this one out. The story is great,
the gameplay is tight and fluid, and the voices and music are awesome. This is the
kind of game that made Working Design famous, and the type that seems to be slowly
fading from video games today.
I go back to PM every so often, just to see the cut scenes (did I mention there are
several in the game?) and to hear the music. It's not that expensive and well worth
getting. The next time someone tells you there are no good games for the Sega CD,
toss this little gem at 'em!

Release Year: 1992
_________________________
As a lifelong gamer, I have tried to keep an open mind about all types of genres.
There are good games to be had among all of them, though some require a bit more
patience than others. Case in point: full-motion video (FMV) titles. No other
category in gaming, not even dating sims, has been so maligned since its inception.
Gamers cite the lack of interactivity, the phoned-in dialogue and wooden
performances as reasons why these games should be tossed in a hole alongside E.T.
Many believe that gaming itself would have taken a better direction overall had the
industry simply ignored FMV altogether.
Even so, there are still those who would defend FMV games. Proponents of the genre
have long centered their case on the strengths of releases like Wirehead and Road
Avenger. They've argued that when done right, FMV games could be highly immersive
and entertaining. In the right hands, there could be a comfortable niche for these
titles.
It's too bad then, that haters have games like Power Factory: C+C Music Factory to
sling in their faces.
I admit, I can find myself enjoying FMV games. I liked Tomcat Alley, and my love
for Road Avenger is no secret on this site. I've been willing to sit down with a
game for more hours than most would give it, trying to find something, anything,
that would merit attention and allow it to shine for even a short while. It was
with that frame of mind that I approached Power Factory.
Now, the Digital Pictures logo at the beginning didn't set off any alarms, as it
perhaps would many others. After all, no other company represents FMV gaming more
than DP, so it's only natural to find more of its titles out there than any other,
save for Sega's own Tru-Video series. It wasn't even the horribly cheesy
introduction sequence that sent me running for the hills. I was well aware that a
game in the Make My Video series wasn't going to be high art, especially when it
featured one of those music groups from the early '90s that just seemed to up and
vanish like a fart in the wind by mid decade.
No, it wasn't until I'd been playing for a while that it finally dawned on me just
how much time I had wasted. I must use the term "playing" loosely, as there's
woefully little here to even fit the word. To those even considering giving this
game a chance, I offer one initial bit of advice: I sincerely hope you LOVE C+C
Music Factory. Of course, being that the game is centered around the group, some
familiarity with them is necessary. To be truthful though, nothing beyond that is
required to play, and someone with no previous knowledge of who C+C Music Factory
even is wouldn't suffer from it. No, the suffering would come from something else
entirely.
Power Factory's whole concept involves two poor workmen, Dwayne and Franklin, who
labor tirelessly at a music factory (clever, isn't it?) who must churn out video
discs for the group all day long. Working conditions are horrible, and their evil
boss (played by Mad TV's Phil LaMarr, who is also one of the two workmen) expects
too much of them. Luckily, the player is there to help! Apparently, the best way to
help the hapless duo with their workload is by editing video footage. Who'd a thunk
it?
This is the point where things go awry. Ironically, it's also the point where one
actually plays. The entire experience consists of piecing together slices of
footage to make a video for one of three C+C singles: "Gonna Make You Sweat," "
Here We Go, Let's Rock & Roll," and "Things That Make You Go Hmmmm." As the song
plays, three different movies run at the bottom of the screen, C+C's main video and
two random ones, each assigned to a button. Pressing any of the buttons sends the
movie to the center viewer, where it can be edited using the D-pad. There isn't
much time to pick and choose what to add, and before each of the songs, Dwayne and
Franklin state what can be added and what can't.
Additionally, effects must be added to each video by moving the D-pad in different
directions. There are a total of sixteen effects, and footage can be strobed,
stretched, mirrored, or any number of things, none of which are really very
exciting. In fact, most of the time playing will be spent wondering if anything
meaningful is being done at all, and by each song's end it becomes apparent that
another four minutes or so of one's life have forever slipped away.
Supposedly, if players manage to create a great video, Clivill?s and Cole

themselves will congratulate them. Whether or not anyone on Earth has actually
attained this coveted prize is open for discussion, as my own experience was one of
constant rejection. My videos were never good enough for the two star producers,
and I'm going to be honest in saying that I simply couldn't muster the interest to
dedicate the hours necessary to achieving their approval. My self esteem is high
enough that I can be satisfied with the footage I edited, regardless of what the
professionals say!
I'm going end this review by vocalizing that which has been said for years: who the
hell thought this would make for a decent video game? There's almost no interaction
at all - the supposed key factor behind FMV games - and the paltry three songs
offered mean game time is severely limited. That's even assuming that players can
actually stay interested long enough to make any of them into decent videos. I
think the only challenge Power Factory offered me was a test to see how long I
could refrain from turning off my Sega CD. This is not the kind of game I want to
think about when I look at the little add-on, and it's no wonder that FMV games
have such a bad rap with gamers to this day. I, for one, am thankful that this
factory closed down.

Genre: Strategy
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1994
Developer: Sprytes
Players: 1
_________________________
Powermonger takes the basic design and concepts of Bullfrog's previous game
Populous, and places it in a war context. The game cast the player as a
dispossessed warlord plundering his way through 195 territories on the way to world
conquest. Several other leaders have the same goal.
The gameworld is now made up of polygons, so the view can be rotated and moved with
greater freedom than Populous. Trade, diplomacy, inventions, and scorched earth
invasions all play a key role in how the player progressed through the game. Two-
player games via modem links are available on computer versions.

opponent has his defenses down, and block and bob as he makes his moves. After a
win the player can improve his left and right glove abilities and stamina by
assigning "Power Points" to each area.
The only sprites visible during the bouts are the player gloves and the health
indicators - the boxers and the rest of the ring are black and white FMV. Like with
other FMV games, the player can enable tips, which indicates to hit certain
butttons when required.

[CD - PUGGSY]
Puggsy
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Platformer
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1993
_________________________
Puggsy may appear to be nothing more then a strangely drawn orange alien with a big
nose, but for gamers who give this unique puzzle solving action platform game a
try, they will discover that Puggsy is the coolest orange alien on the Sega CD!
Chock full of levels, items, and bad guys to get through, Puggsy is a game that
will keep you playing for a very long time. And while it may not push the Sega CD
to its limits, there are graphical touches here and there that certainly spice up
the action. But who is this little orange guy, anyway?
Some aliens have the worst luck. Puggsy's space ship has crash landed on an unknown
planet after a scary encounter with Gorzon the space pirate. Puggsy awakes on a
beach only to find his space ship is gone! So, the goal of the game is to survive
you stay on this unknown planet, find Puggsy's space ship, and get back to Puggsy's
home planet.
But Puggsy is only a small round alien with pudgy little arms, how will he possibly
survive? Players will have to tap into every inch of his/her brains to help Puggsy
get back home. Yes, Puggsy can jump on enemies and destroy them, but much more
importantly is his ability to pick up and use items with the games "Total Object
Interaction" system. With about forty different items in the game, ranging from
guns and axes to keys and remote controls, Puggsy is going to have his hands full.
A typical level involves finding these items, and using them appropriately to solve
puzzles. The game starts out easy enough, just walk left to right and stack up
boxes to overcome a high ledge. But, once you reach the third environment on the
map, things get much more complicated, and Puggsy will be using every rubber
duckie, squirt gun, and beach ball that he can find!
Traveling around the map of the strange planet, Puggsy will occasionally stumble
upon a guardian boss character. Defeating these characters (eight in total) allows
Puggsy to search further areas on the planet, and get closer to recovering his
ship. Overall, the game play is fairly easy to pick up, Puggsy himself is a little
sluggish to control due to his odd shape and size, but there are power ups that can
be found such as running shoes and sunglasses that make him run and jump faster, as
well as take more hits. At the end of every level is a door that Puggsy must exit,
and if he is holding any items, then he will get bonus points.
In addition to the main game, Puggsy also includes a Junior Mode, which is like a
practice mode with simple levels and puzzles to ease players into things. There is
also time trial where you can play completed levels on the clock, and in the
options mode you can also change the number of lives you start with, along with the
controls. Once you beat the bosses, you can replay the boss fights.
Graphically, the game is kind of bland-looking, with many dull colors; however,
there are some special effects in some of the boss fights like scaling sprites, 3D
graphics, and even some CG. In fact, the opening intro is in CG, as well as the
story sequences that occur after you beat a guardian boss. Puggsy himself may look
strange, but his sprites are nice enough. There are tons of different enemies, many
of which are evil raccoons. The different levels range from the beach, forest,
pyramids, caves, volcano, lighthouse, towns and more. The levels are varied enough,
so there is usually something new to look at.
The music in Puggsy is not spectacular, and besides a few tracks here and there
(the main map theme, the water level theme, and the beach theme) is not typically
memorable. Thankfully, there isn't anything annoying. There are typical sound
effects for bopping enemies, but there is really nothing that stands out as amazing
in the sound department.
With a ton of puzzle solving levels, Puggsy is a game that will last some time.
Also, some levels have hidden hard to reach exits, which lead to different secret
levels. Some of these secret levels are quite funny, like Puggsy playing his own
version of Space Invaders and Arkanoid. There is a password feature for players to
keep track of, so they can return to where they last were in the game. Puggsy also
offers unlimited continues.
While Puggsy might not be the most visually stunning game to hit the Sega CD, its
unique puzzle driven gameplay adds a unique experience to the typical hop and bop
action plat forming genre. Playing Puggsy can be both very relaxing, and very
frustrating, depending on the difficulty of the level. Even the boss fights require
some thinking, as you first have to figure out how to even attack the bosses! With
some more updated visuals and audio, this would have been an awesome game, but even
still Puggsy is a fun experience on the Sega CD that took me a long time to get
through. I recommend game players to hunt down a copy of this underappreciated
platformer with brains and try to get this little orange alien back home!

[CD - REVENGE OF THE NINJA]

Revenge of the Ninja
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Action
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1993
_________________________
From the mysterious realms of the Castle Of Evil comes the action packed FMV game,
Revenge of the Ninja! Released by Renovation, RotN follows the adventures of
Hayate, the orange-clad warrior who must venture to the castle to save the
princess, and bring honor back to his family. The Sega CD is certainly no stranger
to FMV games, so does RotN have anything worth offering to warrant a purchase? If
controlling the limited movements of a goofy anime ninja sounds interesting, then
this might be the game for you.
If you've played Time Gal, Dragon's Lair, or other such FMV games, you already know
how to handle Hayate the ninja. When either the up, down, left, right, or action
button flashes on screen, you have to quickly press that button or Hayate is toast.
The controls work for this type of game, but outside of the context of the genre
they are incredibly limited.
The game isn't that hard, and if you're like me, you'll likely beat it within
forty-five minutes of first playing. On easy and normal modes you have more time to
respond to the buttons, and it shows you directly on the screen what button you
have to press. Hard mode is much tougher in that you really have to pay attention
to what's happening, and rely on flashing areas on the screen. But with three
difficulty levels, thankfully players of different skills will be able to enjoy the
game. Personally, I don't find hard mode to be much fun, and I find it much too
frustrating.
With three levels of difficulty, Revenge of the Ninja is made accessible for
players of varying skills, which is a definite plus for fans of the genre. The
eighteen various levels also appear in random order, so you do have to be on your
toes when you are playing this title. Renovation apparently made a big deal about
players beating it on the hardest difficulty and sending in a picture of your
"ninja degree?" This was a special screen after the credits only the most dedicated
players would ever see. After you sent a picture of your degree, Renovation would
mail you a physical copy of your degree so you could hang it on the wall. That's a
pretty interesting way to boost replay, and for its time, a fairly cool incentive.
Besides that, there is a video replay mode after you beat the game in normal or
hard mode where you can watch the entire game.
The graphics look decent on the Sega CD, or at least the animation comes across ok.
It is a bit on the grainy side, but it gets the job done. The animation is
presented in a boxed format, but it does take up a sizeable amount of the screen.
It does look like a generic ninja anime, so fans of Japanese animation will
probably enjoy this title. Character designs are ok, the main character is a bit on
the silly looking side. The villains range from a Medusa like girl, to huge robotic
ninjas. Like other FMV games, the death scenes for when your character gets hurt
are quite humorous looking.
There are a few small tunes scattered throughout the game, unlike Time Gal, which
had virtually no music whatsoever during the actual gameplay, and this is a much
needed improvement. However, the sound is fairly dull. With such limited game play,
games in this genre would surely benefit a lot from at least having some good tunes
to hear, but sadly that is just not the case with Revenge of the Ninja. You do get
to hear your character grunt and make weird noises as he roams around the castle,
but it's nothing to get excited over.
I found that it takes a bit longer to finish Ninja than finishing Time Gal, but
this is almost a hindrance as Revenge of the Ninja is a less interesting game to
play. Whereas Time Gal had multiple eras of time to play through, the majority of
Ninja is spent inside a giant castle, and after a while it gets a bit boring. The
main character in this game is also far less interesting or cool, but that might
just be my bias for the bikini-wearing Time Gal. Technically, this game does have
some improvements over that other title, such as more sounds, but the charm is
completely lacking and I found myself wanting to just finish it as quickly as
possible because it was on the boring side. The button patterns are also fairly
typical and dull, and there are few real thrills.
Revenge of the Ninja is a decent FMV game, and I found it a bit more interesting
than Dragon's Lair, but not quite on par with Time Gal's more creative settings and
characters. Fans of the genre can find better on the Sega CD, but they can also
find worse. Still if the thought of controlling an anime ninja piques your
interest, then you would do well to pick up a copy of Revenge of the Ninja. It
won't last you a long time, unless you try and play through hard mode, but it's a
decent FMV game. When Ninja came out, these sort of games were new on consoles and
technically impressive. But today? The appeal is about as advanced as the controls.
Ouch!

[CD - REVENGERS OF VENGEANCE]

Revengers of Vengeance
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: VS Fighter
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1994
Developer: Micronet
_________________________
I'm... puzzled. No, scratch that. I'm just plain confused. As I sit here and think
about Revengers of Vengeance (best. name. ever), I feel a swirl of emotions rise
inside of me. On the one hand, I want to crush something whenever I flash back to
the god-awful fighting engine. It makes my young daughter cry, and I myself start
to well up whenever I play it. On the other hand, I am so intrigued by the
RPG/shmup combination that it actually excites me and goads me on.
That's a pretty good description as any I guess, of Extreme Entertainment's

peculiar release. You keep playing, searching for that one thing that makes it all
worthwhile. We all know those types of games. You suffer through them to find
something...anything, that redeems them. Well, Revengers of Vengeance puts up one
hell of a fight, but ultimately ends up dragging itself on for too long, until you
just shut it off out of sheer boredom, like most shows on FOX.
I think perhaps the biggest culprit was the aforementioned fighting engine. Extreme
was going for some kind of funky mix here, and the result was a jack-of-all-trades.
In other words, it did many things and none of them well. Let me sum up this
exercise in mediocrity this way: I passed the entire game.... on the hardest
level... on my first try... with a female elf...using two moves. Yes friends, you
too could work your way through several forgettable characters by slashing and
grabbing. Nothing else was needed! Your reward? The chance to input your initials
and a credits roll; that's it. No real tactics were needed to achieve this
impressive buffet of satisfaction for a job well done. Nope, you could do it all
with a single button. The enemy A.I. was so staggeringly dumb that it would fall
for it every time. And get this: it got easier as the game wore on. The final boss
was a complete and utter joke, but sadly, the joke was on whoever keeps playing
long enough to beat him.
Both Tournament and Arena of Death emphasized this sorry, knockoff of a fighting
engine, so if you completely ignored them, that took away two of Revengers' three
game modes, leaving you with only the quest feature. I still don't know if this is
truly as bad as it sounds, as this is where I spent most of my time, amazed at how
well this could have worked, had it been the entire game...and had someone else
worked on it. Extreme obviously had more ambition than talent when it came to
Revengers, and in the hands of a more capable developer, I'm sure this could have
achieved Guardian Legend-like cult status.
After you chose one of the cast of fighters, you were planted in town (which has a
decidedly Ys feel to it. Hey, if you're going to copy, copy from the best). Here
you could train and increase your abilities, scout for info at the pub, buy new
equipment, or take on guild quests. Each quest sent you on a different objective
that's realized in a vertical shmup mode, much like Elemental Master or Undead
Line. Every outing set you back $1000, and you earned cash by leaving town to take
on random fighters. Ugh. They had to stick the fighting engine here too? But we
were doing so well without it! Ah well. At least they gave you some cash for
battling, even if you lost.
The whole effort did show some level of quality, with a decent redbook score and
some parallax scrolling. It didn't tax the Sega CD in any regard, but the cut
scenes and sounds were par for the course for what was being done at the time, and
I'm sure no one really expected much else. I did find the characters to be much too
generic (elf, ninja, wolfman, etc), and the graphics were quite plain. It's ironic
that the best visuals in the game were in the fighting sequences. See what I mean
about mixed emotions?
Honestly, I don't see why Extreme didn't just keep the game as a RPG/shmup hybrid.
It was many times more interesting, and the fighting aspect just seemed like a last
minute thing they tacked on before release. Everything else had such potential. The
control of the shmup sequences was quite good, and the RPG elements were deep
enough to motivate you to keep raising your stats and improving your equipment. The
world map was pretty extensive, offering a decent amount of playtime, should you
have managed to get past the tedious fighting sequences.
All in all, Revengers of Vengeance disappointed, mostly from all the lost
potential. It could have really been been something, had more effort been put into
the body of the game and had the appendix that was the fighting engine been tossed.
What we're left with is something that's worth checking out on the cheap, but isn't
a game you'd deliberately seek out. Now if only someone would jump back onto this
concept and give us a true RPG/shmup hybrid! And no, Sigma Star Saga doesn't count.

[CD - RISE OF THE DRAGON]

Rise of the Dragon
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Action
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1993
Publisher: Dynamix
Players: 1
_________________________
Digital comics have to be my favorite genre on the Sega CD. There's just so much
quality in the releases that the handful of games available alone make the add-on
worth owning. From Snatcher to Secret of Monkey Island, the Sega CD knows how to
show graphic adventure fans a good time. Among the top of the heap has to be
Dynamix's Rise of the Dragon, which hauls you in to its dark and decayed world like
few other games on the system can.
That's probably why I'm such a fan. Mixing a cyber-punk, futuristic atmosphere with
a great murder mystery, it's a thrill ride from beginning to end. Rise was
originally released by Sierra-Online for DOS in 1990 and then ported to the Amiga
in 1991, but I'm more partial to this version (I wonder why?).
You play the part of Blade Hunter, and no, he isn't a Gillian Seed cosplayer - Mr.
Hunter appeared first (of course, Harrison Ford's Deckard has them both beat). As a
down-and-out P.I., you're tasked with solving the bizarre murder of Chandra Vicenzi
- the mayor's daughter. Her father was the man who forced Blade to resign from the
police, but now a bitter twist of irony has him seeking his help. The girl's murder
leads Blade on a roller coaster adventure involving drugs, ancient Chinese myth,
and a mob lord called "the Dragon." The whole investigation has to be kept close to
the vest, and your allies are few and far between. It gets worse too. You only have
four days to solve the murder, before the proverbial end of the world scenario
materializes.
It's a good thing that you're such a astute detective then! Blade travels the city,
picking up clues and question witnesses, while trying to pick up the pieces of his
life and keep his girlfriend Karyn happy. You start in his tiny L.A. apartment and
slowly make your way through the city's underbelly (which consists of over a
hundred locations), interrogating such characters as "the Jake" and the elderly
scholar Chang Li. As the investigation progresses, Li reveals that a far more
sinister plot is at hand than only a mere murder, and you are quite possibly the
foreseen savior that will defeat an ancient evil and save mankind.
All of this drama is handled via still screens and audio dialogue, and anyone
familiar with digital comics will feel right at home. Newcomers may have some
initial difficulty but should settle in rather quickly. The game never gets too far
ahead of you either, and the interface keeps things simple. All your inventory is
handled via a single menu, where you take and use items, as well as equip weaponry.
Don't let the mention of guns fool you. The vast majority of Rise is spent piecing
together the puzzle of young Chandra's murder, not fighting. That might not sound
too appealing but trust me, it's a hell of a lot more fun than it sounds. You'll
spend your time responding to dialogue with one of several scripted responses, or
using items to progress the plot. There are plenty of cool sequences too, like the
Pleasure Dome bouncers requiring you to check your gun at the counter before you
enter. Playing with the answers can really tick one of them off!
That's not to say that the whole game is action-free. There are certain parts that
require Blade to take out the bad guys in true old school fashion, and things
switch to a Rolling Thunder-style dynamic until you've passed them. There are also
stages that play like a traditional light gun game, only you use the D-pad to
control the crosshairs. It would have been cooler to use one of the Genesis guns
for these stages, like in Snatcher, but the gameplay is surprisingly accurate and
easy with the controller. Though Rise incorporates these different game types into
a single package, it never overplays any of them, which makes their inclusion a
nice change of pace from the standard detective work which comprises most of the
game.
The inclusion of the different action stages might make you fall under the
impression that the bulk of Rise simply has you meandering around Los Angeles,
asking questions without any fun involved. Not true. The story itself is the game's
greatest selling point, and it never gets dull for even a moment.
That's probably what makes Rise of the Dragon so special. The presentation and
writing handidly overcome the Sega CD's meager color palate and graphics, working
overtime to envelope you in the enthralling story. There's tons of dialogue, and
the voice acting is done quite well for a title from this period. Audio plays an
important part in creating the game's atmosphere, and you can tell that the
developers went all out in taking advantage of the CD format.
There is a small downside. Rise of the Dragon suffers from the same limitations
which afflict all graphic adventure games: the overall linearity of the gameplay.
Since the game never gives anything away, it's sometimes hard not to cheat when
every situation can be resolved with one of a trio of answers. You might also find
yourself listening to the same dialogue several times until you nail the correct
response.
Another problem is the amount of backtracking involved. There's simply a ton of

clues to find, and Blade should theoretically wear out the soles of his shoes with
all the walking he does trying to piece everything together.
Am I nitpicking? Sure. These problems are inherent to the genre itself, and once
you accept the limitations of the format and move on, the game's true charm becomes
apparent. With its wonderful plot and characters, Rise of the Dragon goes above and
beyond what most would expect from a Sega CD digital comic.
There's room for Rise in any Sega CD owner's library, and I truly believe it
deserves to be given a chance. Don't let the graphics fool you; this is a great
game.

Sometimes, I'm amazed at all the hate the Sega CD FMV games get. All too often,
people lump the good ones in with the bad and take a large dump on the whole lot.
No, there is no love for this genre, no matter who you ask. This is obviously
unfair, and I'm sure that if the haters were to actually sit and play a few of
these games, they'd see that some are actually pretty darn good.
And others are simply gems.
Yes, I said it. So what? There are a few FMV games I actually like, and one in
particular that I love. Road Avenger is that game, and oh what a game it is. It's
based off an arcade laser disc coin-op, which bore the title Road Blaster (I assume
the name was changed to avoid confusion with Atari's racer). Part Mad Max and part
Bullit, it does something that many others in this genre are so unable to:
entertain for more than a single play. Seriously, you can go through it multiple
times, and even though the gameplay doesn't change, it never gets old. There's even
a code that lets you sit back and watch the whole thing played perfectly from
beginning to end!
The plot is classic adventure fair. After his girlfriend Cindy is killed in a
failed attempt on his life, a cop seeks revenge on S.C.U.M. (Secret Criminal
Underground Movement) using his suped-up sports car. You're not out to bust anyone
this time. No, this time it's personal.
Sounds like an 80s action flick, right? Yep, it's cheesy to the max and never
flinches for a second. That's part of the game's charm, so try not to hold that
against it. The story isn't all that important to begin with, and once the action
starts, you won't really care.
Everything in Road Avenger is handled via scripted FMV events that require specific
actions on the controller. Just like Renovation's other releases - Cobra Command &
Time Gal, things are done anime-style, as opposed to regular video with actors.
This, in my opinion, gives the game an air of credibility not enjoyed by those
standard FMV games, since so much more can be done with hand-drawn animation than
with actors on a sound stage. Compare Road Avenger to Night Trap and you'll see
what I mean.
The scripted actions aren't as simple as they may sound either. You need to be very
precise when pressing a specific direction or using the brake or gas, and the game
will toss some nasty combinations at you at certain points. I'm sure you'll be
replaying certain areas a few times before you get them down. None are especially
hard, and you'll get through the whole thing in about a half hour or so, which
seems to me like the ideal amount of time for this type of offering.
Driving your car through midday traffic without killing any civilians may seem a
bit far fetched, and I do admit that there are more than a few James Bond-type oh
yeah, right! moments. Is this a bad thing? Heck no! All part of the charm, my
friend. Remember, you're a badass on a mission. Are you going to let little things
like the laws of physics and gravity get in your way?
Blasting through all ten stages can be done in either normal or hard mode, with the
difference being the lack of cues (or tones, as they're called in the manual) in
the latter selection. You'll have to rely on the slick presentation - which is
quite clean for a Sega CD FMV game - and the audio tones only to know when and how
to react. This adds some replay value to the package but like I said, the whole
game isn't too long, so you'll probably feel ready to tackle hard mode after only a
few plays.
This doesn't mean that there's no substance. I recommend watching the demo a few
times to see just how well done Road Avenger is. I simply love to watch the people
run for their lives as you plow through the crowded beach and city! As I mentioned
above, the presentation is top notch, and truly shows how much fun this genre can
be when done right.
I must also stress the quality of the audio. Road Avenger uses binaural sound, and
the game is amazing when played in stereo. It also boasts perhaps the best theme
song in the history of gaming (trust me on this!), which is just too good to pass
up.
Bottom line, if you own a Sega CD, you should at least give Road Avenger the once-
over. It's cheap, it's fun as hell, and it's another quality title for your console
- which every Sega CD owner knows is something not to be dismissed. Though it may
be a tad on the short and easy side, there's still lots of fun to be had. Need I
say more?

[CD - ROAD RASH]

Road Rash
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Racing
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1993
_________________________
Around 1995, the Sega CD was dying, the Playstation and Saturn were already out,
and no one cared about going to the next level anymore. However, I guess someone at
Electronic Arts did, because that year we got Road Rash for the Sega CD. It's the
same premise as in the original, and you still get the cool opening like in the 3DO
version, but it's just so grainy. After that you get into the menus, and it's
pretty cool. I have to admit, it's neat that you can watch two full-length videos
by Paw or Swervedriver.
The cool thing about this game is that it's identical to the 3DO version, which is
great because you get the cool intro, though it's quite grainy. However, once you
get to the menu, it's all uphill from here. It is pretty cool though you can watch
some music videos or just play the game. There's a "Thrash" mode, which is a arcade
mode where no money or purchases are involved, and you face off against fourteen
opponents. There is also a "Big Game" mode (which is pretty much just a campaign
mode). Plus, instead of just starting a career as a nobody you actually get to pick
a biker, which takes stereotyping to the next level.
Start up the game, pick your character and watch a cool little intro, which was
also in the 3DO version. To be fair, they did away with the graphics from the
Genesis version. Instead of just getting one tree coming at you over and over
again, you get some variety, with buildings and more trees, even a detailed
background! Overall, the graphics are pretty improved over the Genesis version.
The gameplay is great, and if you played Road Rash on the Genesis you'll feel right
at home. Plus, the controls are the same as the original version. The racing is
great, but the physics just kill the realism (if I hit a car while going say a
hundred and twenty, I'd fly maybe twenty feet, but in this I just fly an inch off
the ground). Then again, who is actually playing this game for the realism? The
only other thing that pisses me off is that it seems so hard to hit someone else on
a bike.
After you finish a race you're treated to another little cut scene which is pretty
cool. Then you get paid and go to a little virtual bar where you can check the
upcoming races or buy a new bike. There are around five different types, and
they're broken down into several groups. Should you total your bike while racing,
it's "game over" for you, so winning is a combination of ass-kicking and good
driving! Speaking of the new bikes, they upgraded that as well. Instead of just
scrolling through menus as before, you now get a 3D shop where you can actually
look at the bikes in first-person.
So now your racing and your thinking "um, the controls are pretty responsive, and
there's Soundgarden playing in the background, so maybe this won't be so bad." Wait
what just happened? I was riding fine and then suddenly something knocks me off my
bike, but there's nothing even there, so how is this possible?" That's right, there
are invisible walls everywhere during the race. you'll be going over a jump, see no
one in the other lane, and CRASH! It doesn't break the game, but it was still a bit
annoying to see such a simple problem interfere with an otherwise excellent racing
experience.
In conclusion, Road Rash on the Sega CD is actually pretty good. The only thing it
lacks is a two-player mode, but you can't have everything. The invisible walls,
which seem to an inherent problem with the graphics engine, don't ruin the
experience at all, and there's some solid racing to be had here, especially if
you've already played the few quality racers available on the Sega CD, like Jaguar
XJ220. If you're looking for a great game to add to your game collection, then try
this one out. It may be a little hard to come by, seeing how it was released in
1995, but if you can get your hands on it, you're going to love it.

[CD - ROBO ALESTE]

Robo Aleste
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Shooter
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1993
Developer: Compile
Publisher: Tengen
_________________________
What makes a video game great? Is it the replay value? Or the enthralling gameplay?
In any case, by any definition, Robo Aleste is nothing short of the term "great."
Released in 1992 for the Sega CD, Robo Aleste was the continuation and semi-sequel
to the brilliant Genesis game M.U.S.H.A. (i.e. Aleste: Full Metal Fighter Ellanor
in Japan). Compile has one of the finest track records of any company, stretching
from the (also) great GG Aleste, to the cutesy fun of the Puyo Puyo series, and
that record doesn't stall for one second here.
For the first time in the Aleste series we're introduced to the real story: You're
a giant robot mech warrior in the old times of feudal Japan. Not all the Aleste
games follow this accordingly, but it works out surprisingly well with Robo Aleste.
So clean off your Sega CD, or just buy a new one, I don't care how much work you
have to do, this is gaming splendor not to be missed by anyone.
Thank God they kept the visuals 2D. No more of that polygonal garbage that some of
the Sega CD library smells of. Compile made a superb decision to retouch M.U.S.H.A.
on the Sega CD in its 2D beauty, and the result is one of the finest looking games
in the system. You're flushed with a fantastical amount of color and detail, all
suggesting a feudal Japanese origin. Your character (or shall I say robot) also
moves with an elegance, which is basically indescribable. Everything is entirely
fluid, and there is never any slowdown. Everything is intricately shaded and
illustrated, nothing annoys. A good representation of what 2D games are
(graphically) capable of, sometimes far better than any of your "precious" Xbox or
GameCube games.
As for the sound, it's different, that's all I can say - and that it's brilliant...
brilliant, like Einstein brilliant. This has a deep, deep, Japanese influence with
its (yet I comment again on it) feudal atmosphere. You feel as though you really
are piloting an ultra bad-ass mech warrior ship in the early Millennium. I can't
decide if this is better than M.U.S.H.A., which has some of the single greatest
shooter themes to ever grace a game. Truly masterful tunes await you with Robo
Aleste and not a single one has the slightest fault that I can find.
Robo Aleste is entirely in tune with its classic 2D shooter routes and there's
nothing wrong with that. The enemies fluster the screen as does your/their fire
conjuring up some of those old-school shooter memories we love to explore. My only
fault with Robo Aleste is its reflection on the earlier M.U.S.H.A. The
weapons/gameplay isn't quite up to par with the greatness of the Genesis prequel
and I must admit, they have some large shoes (that they created) to fill. Robo
Aleste beats nearly all other 16-bt shooters in history with its mesmerizing feel
and mobility, but it only falls short of a very rare few. Overall, the finest
shooting gameplay on the Sega CD/Mega CD and some of the best there is to date.
Filled to the brim with challenging gameplay and intense sweat-dripping moments,
you'll occasionally wish there were slowdown. Much harder than its predecessor, it
will take you quite some time before you complete this one and if you do you'll
come back for more reasons than I can think of. Some stages have you scrolling and
shooting the same thing for a little too long (i.e. stage three) but these are
gravel paved over by the brilliant moments Compile is famous for. Moreover, it has
extremely high replay value, especially for a game aged almost ten years now.
Though when playing Robo Aleste, you'll swear it was released yesterday.
Maybe, maybe if you HATE all shooters, you might possibly dislike Robo Aleste. I am
a fan of the genre so I've come to worship it. But for the blessed few unlike
myself (with sanity) you will definitely cherish this revisit to one of the
greatest moments in history and sadly, you will be reminded of a system that had no
business dying as early as it did.

[CD - SEWER SHARK]

Sewer Shark
Region: USA

Controller: Gamepad
Genre: VS Fighte
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1992
Players: 1
_________________________
When you think of the Sega CD, considering you're familiar with the system, you
will invariably think of games such as Sewer Shark, and this is mistakenly touted
as being the first FMV title on the Sega CD. Not true. However, it did manage its
way to being a pack-in game for the later Sega CD model, and thus it became the
most visible and most well-known FMV game of all, closely behind Night Trap
probably. All I can say is that in that case, it was at least MY first FMV title,
and I will now grace you with my experience.
Try to come back with me to 1995. Sure, the Sega CD had already run its course, but
I had only two systems my whole childhood: the Master System and then the Sega
Genesis. The Genesis was famous for having not-so-great sound quality, and games
always had their old corny 16-bit presentation. There was a formula for games from
the old era. You have SEGA's name come up when the power's turned on, then you have
a standard title screen with some music usually written in. Then you start the
game.
With the Sega CD, I now had a CD-based game system which was something to be
excited about if you never had one. And Sewer Shark recreated game presentation and
brought the elements of a Hollywood movie to a game console. Imagine this: Sony
Imagesoft's feather logo floats down the screen with this beautiful digital theme
playing in the back, then it explodes in a shot of light and the entire Sony logo
appears. It tickles ya! Then Digital Pictures' planet logo zooms in with all these
awesome computerized beeps and blips going off (and did I hear a woman moan in
there?). Classic!
Once the opening credits start, you instantly feel like an awesome action film is
about to begin, and in swarms the game's title screen with a huge explosion. It's
disappointing how Sewer Shark's video is hampered down to a rectangular box in the
middle of the screen, but the Sega CD's power is obviously dwarfed by higher end
systems like the Saturn and Playstation. So for its time, the video looked better
on the Sega CD the smaller the window was. It's kind of like how DOOM on early PCs
would move faster the smaller you made the window. Throughout the entire game, the
video is only a fraction of your TV's screen size, and it doesn't matter, which
I'll get into in a moment.
To jump to the chase, Sewer Shark is essentially like a number of FMV titles - a
crosshair-moving shooter. It's quite a bit more memorable than many of the others
though because it's never complicated, it's very imaginative, and the video quality
is better than many. You start out at this docking station for underground sewer
spacecraft (no laughing now) and the music is intense and hokey, as you bump into a
fellow pilot named Falco and have a quick interaction before she leaves. Then in
comes a dramatically charged Pilot with a face that will remain in your memory
forever! Ghost is the name! Next to him is a clipboard with photos of dozens of
deceased pilots who didn't make it out. Long-story short, this has the makings of a
hilarious B-movie and when you hear the dialogue in this game, I'm positive you
will have never heard anything like it. And that's what I love in my FMV titles:
Corny story, hilarious acting, and some decent gameplay.
But getting to the gameplay, the video scenes take you through a quick story line.
To this day, I'm not quite sure what it is. There's someone named Commissioner
Stenchler who runs things up on the surface, a place called Solar City. What it is,
I haven't a clue. From the video shots of it, it just looks like Malibu to me. But
I digress. He seems to be a very corrupt man, who your co-pilot Ghost is always
angry with, but I don't understand what the man has done wrong. Whenever we see
him, he's just eating or surfing. Has he enslaved the population or something? It
makes no sense, and that's what makes the game fun to laugh at.
The gameplay is where Sewer Shark could have used some variety. It's obvious that
the game is all about the video cut scenes and making it through the whole thing to
see them. But every level is basically video of you flying through the sewers via a
first-person perspective. Little creatures are moving around everywhere, and you
simply move a crosshair around the screen and shoot them at the right time. Ghost
often gives directions for different corridors to take through the "tubes." He'll
shout out "3, 6, Niner, or 12," and you simply move the crosshair to whichever
O'clock and hold down B to go that way. Your ship has a life-meter in the form of a
numeric energy meter that is constantly depleting. So sometimes you'll have to keep
your eye out for a left or right tunnel to also use B to go through which will re-
charge your ship. Ghost will warn you ahead of time.
Overall, for one of the first major FMV titles, Sewer Shark has decent production
values. The acting is great and keeps in the spirit of great B-movie cinema, the
sets are well-done, and the immersion in it all is great. The 2D art on-screen will
often appear around the video window to make you feel as if you're really inside
the cockpit, cut scenes with your co-pilot appear on a little HUD display, and you
definitely need to keep your ears open for little surprises, so the game definitely
keeps you on your toes. The video is fun to watch, and the game's control is
decent, and there's nothing that's unreasonably hard to pull off. There is even a
decent amount of challenge. That's really all I can say. If you appreciate full
motion video games, Sewer Shark of course is hands down a classic. The video
quality is good, and believe me there is a spectrum. Some Sega CD titles have video
quality that is tantamount to vomit, so this title does a great job.
I give it a 7 because although it's a fun game, it's a little too easy and not
quite long enough. What else can I say? SHOOT THE TUBES DOGMEAT!!

Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Adventure
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1992
Publisher: SEGA
_________________________
As an English major, I can honestly say there is nothing like reading a good
Sherlock Holmes story. Contrary to popular belief, Sherlock Holmes is not your run
of the mill detective. He gets his hands dirty. In The Mystery of the Speckled
Band, Holmes uncovered a murder who was using a snake to commit his crimes. Does he
arrest this man? Heck no, he waits until the murderer is ready to strike again, and
as the snake is lowered punches it square in the head, sending one angry snake back
to its owner (who is devoured). Quite frankly, Sherlock Holmes is the man. Sadly,
there is no evidence of how awesome Holmes is in Consulting Detective Vol. 1, none
whatsoever.
The game itself consists of three mysteries which you must solve with the aid of
various clues. Once the game is started, you may either dive right into a case, or
learn about the instructions. If you insisit on punishing yourself and playing this
game, I strongly urgue you to take a glance at the instructions and "Holmes
Introduction," which is a video of Sherlock explaining to you how he manages to
solve his crimes with the help of the neighborhood locals, and how they will be of
help to you on your investigations. Oddly enough, I found this portion to be the
most enjoyable part of the game. The actor who plays Sherlock is convincing, the
video is not too laggy or grainy, and there is pleasant music in the background.
Trust me folks, this is as good as it's going to get.
After you watch the introduction, you are presented with list of characters in the
game who will provide you with clues. Clicking on them with the cursor enacts a
Holmes dialogue which will give you a background to their personality. Believe it
or not, this information is critical to aid you in solving your cases, if you don't
know who to question, you won't get anywhere. As if that weren't enough, there are
twelve dialogues to make it through. If you are still awake after this, then select
a case and let the good times roll (get a pillow).
Selecting a case will start a video which will provide you with an overview of the
mystery, after which you are thrown to the wolves. I sure hope you were paying
attention during the instructions portion of the game, because you are presented
with very little on the main screen. Here you may view Holmes's notebook (which
allows you to question your sources), a London Directory (which acts in the same
way, only also includes places/businesses), and the newspaper. In literature Holmes
frequently uses the newspaper to track down possible leads. You will do the same
using clues from your notebook and the London directory and hopefully solve the
crime.
Solving the crime is quite difficult as clues really require you to pay attention
to the detailed accounts that the witnesses give you. To make matters worse, clues
which seem to be leading you in the right direction, or those which seem to good to
be true, will often lead you further away from solving the case. To put it plainly,
this game is hard. It requires a lot of time, diligence, and patience in order to
successfully resolve the mysteries. One thing I'll say about this game is it has a
ridiculous replay value due to the fact that it is near impossible to solve a case.
If you do manage to solve one, call the FBI, CIA, or intelligence agency of your
choice, tell them your accomplishment... chances are a job awaits.
A warning for the gamer who wants some fast paced mystery action: this will
frustrate you to no end. If you LOVE mysteries and enjoy putting every little
detail together in order to unmask the criminal then you will adore this game, if
not then steer clear, Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective is not for the faint of
heart.
On the positive side, this game has great music, decent video quality, and a
compelling story. The story made me want to solve the mystery; however I found
myself getting more and more frustrated as I realized how far off from the solution
I really was. The actors have great accents and play their parts quite well, in
turn they really make you feel as if you are assisting Sherlock Holmes in his
adventures.
The bottom line here is commitment. You have to really want to solve these crimes,
write down the clues, take note of the witnesses, and set aside the time to play
the game. Consulting Detective is an in depth take on a classic literature
character which is a rarity in gaming to say the least. It is because of this that
the game is for the mystery fan, and not for the gamer. If you are looking for some
light, fast paced, detective action try Where In The World is Carmen Sandiego?
instead, as this one's high difficulty will most likely turn you away very quickly.
Elementary this game is not, my dear gamer.

Elementary this game is not, my dear gamer.

[CD - SHINING FORCE]

Shining Force CD
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1994
Developer: Camelot Software Planning
Publisher: SEGA
_________________________
If there is one single, great tragedy with Shining Force CD, it's that so few
people ever actually got around to playing it. At the time, the series was just
getting on its feet, and the Sega CD itself was still struggling to obtain some
decent sales, which it may or may not have ever gotten (depending on who you ask).
This combination of sad factors led many to overlook one of the better
strategy/RPGs out there. Let me echo the voices of those who stand behind this
forgotten classic and sing the praises of everything Shining!
Ok, maybe that's bringing it on a bit thick; you get the picture though. Why, just
look at what Sega gave us. Both Game Gear carts together on a single disc, with an
extra exclusive battle. How can you not like this? I've owned and beaten all the
games in this series, and after going back to it to write our retrospective on one
of the premier RPG franchises in Sega's catalogue, I gained a new respect for it.
Not everything is to my liking, I can say that flat out, but the package as a whole
is a winner and one solid ride.
What's not to like? For one thing, the treasured town dynamic has been removed. No
longer can you explore and chat with villagers. The game has basically been reduced
to the fighting sequences, with some story tossed in for good measure. The plot is
now mostly told on the field, and it at least still maintains the same sense of
urgency and tongue-in-cheek doomsday atmosphere that the others had. Let's be
honest, none of the bad guys in the Shining Force games have ever been truly
menacing, and the CD installment doesn't detour from that at all.
The adventure opens twenty years after the conclusion of the first Shining Force,
with the land of Gardiana having been rebuilt by Luke, Lowe, and Ken; all of whom
now serve Queen Anri. Ambassadors from Cypress (not the island nation, mind you)
present a gift to her that explodes into a fog upon opening, sending Anri into a
deep sleep. A marvelous quest to save her ensues, which culminates with the start
of the second chapter, seamlessly attached. Book II's end in turn sets the stage
for the awesome final battle, in which you choose twelve warriors from both forces
to end things once and for all (if you meet certain criteria, of course). Did I
mention that the main heroes of both books are usable? Neat little touch, that.
Thankfully, it plays as solid as its other 16-bit brethren. I'm not, however, going
to get all technical about the gameplay. It's a Shining Force game, and I'm sure
that you've played at least one of the other three entries available. Nothing's
changed here, and fans will be able to dive right in without even reading the
manual. Newcomers should have little trouble, although they may be slightly turned
off by the constant stream of battles that constitute the bulk of the game.
Let me be honest with myself for a second and not let my love for this franchise
cloud my judgment. I am more than a bit disappointed by the presentation. Sure, the
visuals are a huge leg up from the Game Gear, but when you already have two games
done using the same engine, how hard is that? The battles are as beautiful as ever,
but where are my animated cut scenes? Moreover, if this is a CD game, why aren't
there any towns? The exploration dynamic could really have been taken to a whole
other level here, and it's a shame that the developers took the short route.
Switching between a shop and my HQ just wasn't the same, and I really did miss
being able to wander around. I bet Camelot knew this too, and tried to make up for
it with Shining Force III on the Saturn.
One thing's for sure, the soundtrack is simply GODLY. Sega knew how to take
advantage of red book audio on the CD system, and this title is no exception. OST-
worthy and beautifully scored, the music practically carries the game by itself.
It's by far one of my favorite soundtracks on the Sega CD.
Another plus is the continuation of the Shining tradition of new and hidden
characters. As you progress through the game, new heroes will join you, and there's
a bunch that you actually have to hunt down. This has always been cool because it
gives a little more replay value to the package, and ensures that you won't
complete the whole thing the same way twice.
Well friends, there you have it. A great adventure that was unfortunately given the
cold shoulder for too long, is now commanding upwards of $70 on eBay. That's the
price for learning things late I guess, and although Shining Force CD isn't
perfect, it's so good you'll forgive its flaws and revel in its strengths. The
quest is long and the characters are lovable, which should be enough to make it
worth some of your time. Every Shining fan needs this one, plain and simple.

[CD - SILPHEED]
Silpheed
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Shooter
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1993
Publisher: SEGA
_________________________
Many people talk of the Sega CD as one of the worst consoles ever. I, however will
not agree. As many rare occasions will show (Snatcher, Popful Mail, and Sonic CD),
the Sega CD is quite underrated, and this is another of those rare
occasions.Silpheed shows what the Sega CD can do, this was a remake of the rare
1987 PC shooter of the same name. Silpheed is a space shooter that was light years
ahead of it's time.
I must first mention the graphics, WOW is all I can think of. POLYGONS! POLYGONS
(which don't have a lot of color) are in a Sega CD game! Picture this, if you will:
MASSIVE asteroids, tiny ships, and explosions of gigantic enemy and allied fleets,
while debris of who knows what clutters the screen in an all-out war, if that
doesn't excite you I recommend you finish watching Gilmore Girls and stop playing
games, period. I still love to watch the battle cruisers blow up into thousands of
polygons! Like 98% of Sega CD games though, FMV is in here, but in intermission
form, and it doesn't hurt the gameplay at all.
As far as storyline go, Silpheeed's is actually really good. Apparently the Earth-
based Grayzon computer has been `net-jacked, and mankind's future in space is in
your hands! The highly modified SA-77 Silpheed tactical fighter is up for the
challenge...are you (not my own words)?
The music is decent, but not great, I was hoping for something epic like, for
example the Dreamcast masterpiece Ikaruga, but that may be a little too much of the
epic-ness. The sound, however, gets you really pumped up, with voice overs and
explosions going on, and strangely enough, this is actually one of the problems of
Silpheed. The sound is so good that sadly it overshadows mostly everything else
about the game.
On the other hand, the controls are perfect. You move and you shoot (it is a shmup,
after all), and there are power ups for increasing or decreasing your rate of fire.
That's about the extent of the gameplay, simplified: you shoot and dodge. You can
change weapons between stages, and choosing the wrong one will leave you basically
screwed for the next stage (side shots when everything comes from the front!), so a
certain level of memorization is required to know which power up works best where.
Game Arts did a wonderful job with the gameplay, but the only thing that makes this
game different from others in the genre is that the closer the enemy is to you when
you destroy them, the more points you get. This is a cool idea and was pretty novel
for the time, but it greatly bumps up the overall challenge and makes it quite
difficult to ge through to the end with a decent score. Why? Well, the box states
that this is the best space shooter ever, and while that may be true for the most
part (at least for 1993), many gamers will be displeased to know that you only have
one life, and then it's "game over." You do have health, however, but it only
refills with rare power ups and only slightly between levels, making the game that
much harder.
The good news is that Silpheed is easy to find and really cheap (goes for like $5
on eBay). I truly recommend this game, even if you are not very good at shooters.
While the score may look low, it's just the over-shadowing sound, and the high
difficulty level that kept it from being any higher. If you are looking for a
challenge, though, then here is your quick fix!

CITY SCOTTIE PIPPEN (D3), CD - SLAM CITY SCOTTIE PIPPEN (D4)]
Slam City with Scottie Pippen
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1994
_________________________
Slam city is a Full-Motion-Video basketball game. It uses proprietary technology to
allow switching from one scene to another without lag, which allows for smoother
interactive video.
Gameplay is relatively simple, using little more than arrow keys, and is very
different from any other basketball simulation. Basketball is merely the subject
for the game's plot, involving the new-guy Ace (yourself) and a host of other
characters, basketball players or just spectators, all with different
personalities. It's basically play one-on-one on a warehouse court and climb the
"ladders" until you earn enough respect to play against Scottie Pippen.
The game features a total of 13 characters, 5 of which you can play against, all
played by real actors.

[CD - SNATCHER]
Snatcher
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Genre: Action
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1994
Developer: Konami
Publisher: Konami
_________________________
Long before Hideo Kojima became obsessed with Metal Gear Solid, he crafted one of
the most memorable and acclaimed games of the 8 and 16-bit generations. The only
problem is that he's never revisited it on any platform and has all but forgotten
the series, much to the dismay of fans everywhere. With its gripping plot and well-
developed characters, Snatcher is perhaps the best digital comic ever made and
reason enough to make you run out and get a Sega CD. The fact that it's the only
English console release doesn't any either.
Already an accomplished developer for the MSX 8-bit computer with the first two
Metal Gear games, Kojima began work on something that for him, was markedly
different. Text adventures were big on PCs and consoles of the time weren't capable
of such large and complex games. Thus, Snatcher made its debut on the NEC PC-8801
8-bit computer in 1988 and afterward, Kojima beefed up the game for its release on
Sega's much maligned add-on. The decision to port such an influential (and
expensive to develop) title to the U.S. Sega CD with both the Saturn and
Playstation on the horizon still puzzles gamers to this day. It was eventually
released for the newer consoles but remained in Japan, as did its pseudo-sequel
Policenauts. Along with American exclusivity, the Sega CD version is blessed with
being less censored than its 32-bit cousins, so at least we Sega CD owners can
still proudly wear a feather in our cap.
Deriving its title from the game's mysterious antagonists, Snatcher tells the tale
of a world recovering from "The Catastrophe," a tragedy in which half of its
population died when a biological weapon called "Lucifer Alpha" was released into
the atmosphere. Supposedly, an explosion at a secret Russian lab was the cause but
a massive cover up maintains everyone in the dark. Gillian Seed and his wife Jaime
both suffer from amnesia after being held for half a century in suspended
animation, and awaken to find themselves in a world they know nothing about. The
only thing Gillian can recall is the word "Snatcher." To recover his past, he
enters the military and joins the JUNKER ( Japanese Undercover Neuro-Kinetic
Elimination Ranger) squad, created to deal with the new Snatcher threat. These
robot-like assassins are out to take over civilization by killing world leaders and
"snatching" their identities.
No one knows where they came from or who created them and after the only other
Junker on the case is brutally murdered (see the lovely pic on the right?), Gillian
is the only one left who can stop them.
As you can probably tell, Snatcher has an incredible story that bears more than a
passing resemblance to the Harrison Ford classic Blade Runner. Such a deeply
constructed game is well suited to the digital comic format, since tossing a plot
this elaborate into a platformer or action title simply would not have worked.
While some gamers might find Snatcher's pace a bit too slow, I think the menu-
driven text format fits perfectly. The freedom to question almost every person you
find in a myriad of locations gives the player the illusion of open-endedness when
the gameplay is really quite linear. You might find yourself being able to use
standard trial and error to get through certain areas but the real fun comes from
having to actually use your noggin to figure things out. This is a detective story,
remember?
Although he may be the last JUNKER, Gillian isn't completely alone on his mission.
JUNKER HQ has supplied him with a personal sidekick in the form a small robot aptly
named Metal Gear. Allusions to other Kojima and Konami games are all over the
place, including several famous characters having a drink at a strip club! Metal
Gear saves and loads your game and lets you use the videophone to call in the
police and fire departments, as well as most of the people you question. Most
useful is his ability to link to the JUNKER mainframe, which provides you will
valuable data on the world situation and current events that are vital to the case.
Snatcher takes full advantage of the CD format by incorporating voiced dialogue and
red book audio. While the actual game proceeds through still images accompanied by
text, voice and animation are used during cut scenes, which are plentiful. There's
just so much going on here that you will literally spend hours roaming around the
city of Neo-Kobe talking to and revisiting everyone just to see what else they'll
say. The visuals compliment the top notch audio work with great use of color and
stunning detail worthy of any comic book.
There are also a few action scenes sprinkled throughout the game, which are
compatible with Konami's Justifier pistol. Though not numerous, they are fast and
furious, especially towards the end of the game. These scenes actually work quite
well, giving you a change of pace every so often and immersing you even more into
Gillian's shoes.
I can honestly say that Snatcher is a game that merits the purchase of a Sega CD.
The system itself may cost you half of what the game goes for on eBay but you
simply cannot put a price on an experience like this. The story rivals anything
Hollywood has put out and the character development is classic Kojima. Konami has
resisted all attempts at a rerelease and Kojima himself has gone so far as to say
that he has no interest in bringing the series back in any incarnation. As the only
version of the game released in English, this is most likely going to be your only
chance to experience Snatcher. Don't let it pass you by.

Release Year: 1992
Publisher: SEGA
_________________________
In the distant future, approximately 300 solar systems, including our own, are
under the domination of a computer life-form, the GCS-WT.
Having been under the cruel control of the GCS-WT for centuries, the humans unite
and plan to end the oppressive control of this machine.
Unfortunately, the human underground movement is detected by the interplanetary

security force of the GCS-WT before the overthrow can begin. The humans are branded
as unnecessary and dangerous race, resulting in their systematic genocide. But the
movement had not completely died.
Edwin Feace, a scientist from the 5th planet in the Altile solar system, managed to
penetrate the security code of the GCS-WT and destroy the data in the data bank.
The humans believed that the GCS-WT would be inoperable for 300 hours while it was
recovering from the destroyed data. The last hope left for the humans was to reach
the planet Earth while the GCS-WT was inoperable and destroy the computer life-
form. With this task in mind, the starship "Sol-Feace" left for a treacherous
journey.
Oh boy, here it comes again, the 'ol "big behemoth computer come taketh control of
our stuff/planet and kill us off" storyline. Cough, cough, mumble... recycled plot
elements...murmur... Anyway, I'll give 'em credit for some aspects of the story,
like the scientist thing and thus the naming of the ship. That's, about it for
that. Oh yeah, and the intros were kinda cool, however, not consistent in the
quality department. Poor artwork designs of the ship and other objects would change
style or look, and it was sometimes horribly pasted together, having a nasty
animated look to it. Ewwww. Oh well, if they had cleaned it up some, we might of
had a better overall story to check out. Alas, we don't. Now don't get me wrong
about Sol-Feace. We have a fairly decent story going on, and a some decent artwork
in parts of the intro cinemas, but horrible and inconsistent looking art styles and
animation made story and atmosphere of the game utter crap. Oww. Pass me the
Tylenol...
Okay, Wolfteam decided to do another shooter, and I praise them for that. Their
older Genesis games were pretty decent, but the problem was, as time
progressed...Wolfteam did not. Many later titles made by their staff incorporated
the same styles of programming. This is highly evident both in the color palettes
of the graphics commonly used throughout their games, along with recycled and
reused sound effects that are EXACTLY the same ones used in their older games.
Wolfteam would not "upgrade" their ideas completely, and as a result, their games
slowly began to suffer as the years went by. Other shooters and many other genres
improved drastically in presentation AND gameplay overall. Wolfteam continued to
drag behind, remembering the good old days of simplicity. Anyway, to be direct,
this was a beacon that Wolfteam was beginning to suck, and the trend would not
reverse itself in later years ahead.
The weapon selection offered is very poor. Only about three different power ups are
offered during play and only at set sections in the game levels. The only thing
cool about acquiring weapons is that you can choose to place them on the upper,
center, or lower portion of your ship by running into the pods with the ship onto
which side you want it. You could also adjust at anytime the spread or confinement
of your shots by moving the weapon pods closer or further apartment from your ship.
Simply stop firing, move left or right to move the pods, then continue blasting.
That was about the best feature in the game though, as trying to actually sit and
play the game was not extremely desirable to many. It may of had the right number
of levels, but who cares? They all suck so bad that you'd have to beat me with a
stick to look at 'em again. Besides, there's slowdown and flicker galore in this
game the further you get into it.
Yep, lame enemies, horribly animated bosses, lots of gray looking objects
and ...that's about it. Not much else if offered this time around as, obviously,
there wasn't a lot of thought put into it. Oh! Here's a good one. Speed adjustment
on a ship! Yeah, good idea! Let's implement that...and put it in the options menu
before starting. So, um, yeah, if you want to adjust how fast your ship runs around
the screen, you can toggle it in the options menu from slow, medium, or fast, and
THEN start the game...being forced into only one set speed the entire game. How
ingenious. A real moron would have put that selection on one of the buttons so you
could toggle it during play and change ship speed at will. Man, what kind of people
would do that to a gamer? (Obviously not Wolfteam... ...*sigh* ...Urge to kill....
All I can say, is that I really wanted to like this game. Yes, I wanted to like
Sol-Feace a lot...but the actual overall game just got worse the more you played
into it, seeing how rough and downright sloppy some of the ideas came pouring out
on the game screens. Pitiful, weak-looking weapons that aren't given enough times
during the game, along with crappy enemies and bosses, poorer graphics, and the
same tired old sound effects lead this title to the bottom of the crapper (along
with a sad choice by Sega for a freebie title with the system). The story and
overall idea was decent, but execution in just about every category for the game
was well below par. Probably about the best value the game has is its music, which
I did enjoy listening to a little, mainly in the introduction cinemas. So shooter
fans, you'll probably only want to own this if you want to collect it... and so it
will help keep dust off your shelf too.

[CD - SONIC THE HEDGEHOG]

Sonic CD
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Platformer
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1993
Developer: SEGA
Publisher: SEGA
_________________________
Sonic CD was released in 1993. A side-scrolling action game like most of the other
Sonic games, the famous hedgehog's first CD outing contains some of the fastest and
most engrossing gameplay ever. Your goal in the game is to defeat Dr. Robotnik; not
only because he turned your animal friends into robots (for the millionth time) but
because he has also kidnapped Amy Rose, Sonic's girlfriend (I think she is anyway.
Damn the game's ambiguous storyline).
The graphics in Sonic CD are breathtaking. The characters are all quite large; what
makes this even more amazing is that each character features fluid animation. The
character designs are all quite original and help to continue the Sonic legacy,
they are very creative. The game's many backgrounds are all very original and are
quite detailed. The game features an animated opening cinema that is remarkable, it
has an anime-esque look and feel to it that comes off very well and the quality of
the animation of it is second to none, which really helps set the tone for the rest
of the game. All in all, the graphics are excellent, the game features imaginative
characters with superb animation.
The music is another feature that sets this game apart from the rest. The music is
very well done. It has a techno feel to it that fits the action perfectly and
really helps bring out the mood of the game. The music also fits the themes of the
individual levels perfectly. SCD's many sound effects are well done, sounding crisp
and clear and taking advantage of the use of Q Sound. You need to play this in
stereo, plain and simple.
If you've never played a Sonic The Hedgehog game, I'll give you a brief description
of the gameplay. Your universal goal in each of the game's levels (as well as the
other Sonic games) is to free your friends, who have been trapped in metal
containers at the end of an Act. There are three Acts in each level, the third Act
is the Boss Act, the Boss for that level is at the end of the level. All of the
levels have different settings, they are all very unique, and they are well laid
out and are quite diverse in style. A new time-based element was added to Sonic CD,
you can play a level in the past, present, or future if you hit a marker with the
time name on it, the levels design is identical in each, the time element does add
different enemies and changes the look of the level to correspond with the time
zone. This is a very welcome addition to the series, it helps to keep the game
fresh.
The Sonic series has been known for its need of only one button to perform attacks.
This tradition continues in Sonic CD. You can perform a plethora of techniques in
this game to help you vanquish your foes; the two main techniques involve jumping
on your enemies (done by pressing either A,B, or C, and aiming towards your
opponent), and spinning through them (done by holding down on the D-Pad and
pressing either A,B, or C). One all new new spinning technique has been added to
the game, it involves peeling out into your opponent.
The presentation in Sonic CD can't be beat; everything fits the game's theme
perfectly. The character design are among the best ever in a platformer, especially
on the Sega CD, where such games are few and far between. The classic Sonic style
of play is alive and well here, and the level of difficulty progresses gradually as
you get through the game, much like all of the other games in the series. For the
most part, it's not too difficult, with the exception of the last few levels. What
adds the most to this installment is the time travel dynamic, which lends itself
greatly to return visits to see all the different paths. For that reason, the
replay value, like in all the other Sonic games, is endless. Sonic CD is a timeless
Sega CD classic that you'll want to play for years to come, if you can find it.
This is undoubtedly the best Sonic The Hedgehog game ever. The graphics are
unparalleled on the Sega CD, or any other platform for that matter. It stands the
test of time better than most games. Even after all these years, the game still
seems new and refreshing. It added quite a few new features to the series. This
game stands tall as one of the few bright spots in the Sega CD library and is
possibly the system's finest game.
This game is a true classic. If you're a fan of any of the Sonic The Hedgehog
games, you need to buy this game. You won't regret it. The gameplay is top-notch,
as is virtually every other aspect of the game. The time travel element adds a nice
twist and increases its longevity in my opinion.

Release Year: 1994
Publisher: Victor Interactive Software
_________________________
Following the destruction of his home system, Bryk Hammelt, the last of a noble
race of warriors known as the Cryo-commandos, set out in his great starship, the
Treaghon, to hunt down the merciless Myrkoids. He has hunted them for centuries,
tracked them across the trackless wastes of the Great Divide, searched for the
destructive evidence of their presence in the starfields of Maldrum Tau, and chased
them at the speed of light through the hypergate at Viridium Plush.
For eons he has followed, and they have always eluded him.
Until now.
Now he'll face this ancient enemy in a battle for the soul of a star...
Okay, okay, not bad. I've heard better, but at least the entire game is set around
the story. The game is built for and with the story in mind and continues to
reflect it throughout the game. Consistency was obviously key here by the designers
and that always gives me the thumbs up for doing so. You don't see too many
shooters that at least attempt to integrate the story's structure for a shooter
game. As for the story itself, well, it's not for everyone and I certainly didn't
care for it. Some of the broad and general overuse of the "space terms" seemed to
kill it, along with the ever so common "enemy forces that kill everything for
energy and that's it" theme. Ugh. Oh well, we've all seen a lot worse, and those
poor puds make this story look like gold, so I'm not going to complain too much.
Not the most revolutionary of its kind, but for some reason, it's still a little
unique in its own way. Soul Star, from the company that brought us a Sega CD and
Genesis version of Chuck Rock earlier on, decided to come back and go sci-fi this
time, and to change from an action platform audience on towards a shooter stage.
Were they successful? Not quite, but all-in-all the game is kinda neat. Even though
parts of it are rather bland, there are other aspects which can make up for it all
together. Soul Star was not a very successful game, but if patience strikes people,
it can beckon to a rather cult audience who enjoys its style.
A second-person perspective shooter, Core took advantage of some of the

capabilities of the Sega CD, mainly it's scaling and rotation chips, FMV cinemas,
and the capacity to record awesome CD orchestrated music. On the mild side, it has
plenty of power-ups to gather, bullets to dodge, enemies, buildings, structures,
and asteroids to shoot out of your path. The control for the ship is a little
awkward and does take some getting used to as it is a little loose.
One of the more unique aspects of controlling the ship is not that you have to
master control of just one, but 3 different types of ships. At later stages in the
game, the ship will transform and assume a different configuration for different
mission objectives, from a ship, to a hovering ship, to a walking battletank. That
of course, is where the control difficulty comes in as each ship is a little
different to handle. Luckily, the game does support the 6-button controller, which
is desperately needed for this game. Trying to control the ship in this game with
the standard 3-button pad is a real pain.
The graphics displayed throughout the game are pretty decent. Of course, this is,
for some reason, another typical Core game that uses too many gray scale hues and
tints and not enough other colors. If you see more than four different colors on
the screen at once, it seems rare. Sound effects are also nothing to boast about,
as they are not too great sounding at all. Those should have been much better than
what is present and there's not enough of 'em. So, what makes up for this? The
music. The music is by far, some of the nicest music I have heard on a CD shooter
game. It's highly recommended to at least listen to the music for awhile as it
might just draw you into the game
Overall, Soul Star is an okay game and it should have been worked on in several
other areas. Some parts are fantastic, like the graphics and music. Other parts of
the title are lame, such as the story, sound effects, and control of the ship. Even
though it has some downpoints, it can still be a little fun to play, especially
with 3 different difficulties to choose, with each challenge rate going to a
different sector in the Soul Star solar system (different levels). At least give it
a try as you might find you like it, but just remember that there is a learning
curve due to the control of the ship that takes some getting used to.

"Infanto Ray" which turns adults into small children.
The game plays like a comic strip - visuals are similar to many cartoon movies. In
each scene you only have to decide which direction of the keyboard has to be hit in
order to avoid one of the countless death screens and to advance to the next
screen...

Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1994
Developer: Hudson Soft
Publisher: SEGA
Players: 1
_________________________
"The Space Adventure" is known in Japan as "Cobra II: Densetsu no Otoko", the
second game dedicated to the adventures of the renegade space pirate Cobra. The
game is based on original manga and TV series by Buichi Terasawa.
While waiting in a bar for his partner, Cobra encounters a beautiful bounty hunter
named Jane. Very soon he realizes that the bounty Jane has been hunting for is his
own head, for which the Galaxy Patrol has put quite a reward. But everything
changes when Crystal Boy, the head of the Pirate Guild and Cobra's archenemy,
appears on the scene. Jane's father had apparently hidden a great treasure,
encoding its location in tattoos on the backs of his triplet daughters. Crystal Boy
wants this treasure, and is going after Jane and her sisters. Cobra and Jane decide
to join forces in order to find Jane's sisters and to undermine Crystal Boy's
plans.
The game is a Japanese-style adventure. You advance in the game by choosing various
commands ("Look", "Talk", etc.). There are a few places in the game where you can
die if you make a wrong decision. In the final location you'll also have to fight
enemies turn-based style. The game features a large number of animated cut scenes
as well as voice-overs for many dialogues.

Star Strike
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Action
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 2000
_________________________
I hadn't even heard of Good Deal Games until I found the link on this site. So I
was in for quite a surprise when I found that it sold recently finished Sega CD
games that hadn't been published before. The catalog showed their releases from
most recent to first. At the bottom of the catalog was a game called Star Strike.
After looking around a little, I learned it was an FMV game. But, wanting to
support a worthy cause, I bit the bullet and laid down the thirty dollars. I was
worried. This being an FMV game, I was a little unsure of whether I had made a
mistake. The game arrived a few days later, and I popped it in my Sega CD the next
day. I was in for quite a surprise.
What makes Star Strike unusual for its genre is that it's not bad, or even just
okay. It's actually quite fun and interesting. The story, despite its B-Movie feel
and slightly episodic nature, is actually quite fun to watch. Sometime in the
distant future, mankind encountered an alien race during its travels through space,
and I'm not talking about nice, friendly aliens. Oh no, these guys are downright
evil. It turns out that the Protoids like the taste of humans, especially the
brain. When a human brain is eaten by a Protoid, all of the victim's knowledge,
whether it be military secrets or maybe even credit card numbers, is transferred to
the whole species. (You may laugh quietly to yourselves now.) The humans gathered a
space force of sorts to fight the Protoids. You are a new recruit named Trace who
has just joined the Force, and now you will try to help him survive his missions.
You can tell that Stargate Entertainment really put a lot of effort into this game
from the get-go. The visuals are at least on par with the original Star Wars,
perhaps a little higher. Sure, the video is pretty grainy and sometimes even
choppy, but that's to be expected. At least it's full screen, which already puts it
above the Digital Pictures games. The acting is fair, and the performances seem
lively and convincing enough for the most part, with a few exceptions. It IS a Sega
CD FMV game after all. The sound effects and music are fitting, but not the most
memorable.
After a long intro, you will finally get to the game itself. The gameplay consists
of you maneuvering a crosshair to hot spots on the screen and pressing a button to
make Trace interact with his ship, fly to a certain place, or of course, shoot down
Protoids. It's more interesting than it sounds. There is always something going on,
and there is a little bit of variety to keep things going. Your cursor moves fairly
well with only a small hiccup now and then. And between missions, you get to see
Trace interact with the crew, his wingmen, and even the female A.I. that helps you
out now and again. You even get little mission briefings from your commanding
officer.
Another nice thing about the game is that before you start, you get a chance to
configure a couple things. You can toggle the difficulty between easy and hard, and
you can turn the target boxes that tell you where to shoot on and off. I'd
recommend you keep them on, since the difficulty is high enough that there's no
need to play without them.
The only problems I can see with Star Strike is that sometimes the footage is a
little repetitive, especially when Trace shoots down a Protoid ship. There are very
few variations. Trace only has about three or four different things to say when he
blows the Protoids away. Another problem is that there is no save system, no
passwords, no saved games, nothing. This might not seem like such a big deal,
considering that it is an FMV game, but that only aggravates the biggest problem
here: Star Strike is insanely difficult. You'll probably crash into the side of the
light-speed ring a couple times before getting through, and the asteroids can be
murder. Star Strike is very unforgiving, and if you die, it's game over, no
continues, nothing. You have to start from the beginning every time you die.
Besides these minor issues, Star Strike is still a worthwhile purchase. It is a fun
and exciting sci-fi romp through a Star Wars-like universe (don't even TRY to tell
me they didn't rip off the light speed effect from Lucas) that you will probably
come back to every once in a while. It is certainly one of the better FMV games out
for the Sega CD. If you give it a chance, who knows? You might just find yourself
hooked to the adventures of Trace's fight against the Protoids. It's quite fun you
know, for an FMV game.

Star Wars: Rebel Assault
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Shooter
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1993
Publisher: LucasArts
Players: 1
_________________________
Star Wars: Rebel Assault for the Sega CD flew onto the system with 3D graphics,
digitized scenes from Episode 4, new scenes made for this game, and a complete Star
Wars soundtrack by John Williams featuring the standout Star Wars tunes. Players
get to control various Star Wars vehicles like the classic X-Wing as you go up
against Darth Vader and the evil imperial army. Sounds awesome right? All of this
would be awesome if the game was actually fun to play, but unfortunately it has
some pretty heavy flaws.
You play as Rookie One, a young rebel pilot who wants to take down Vader and his
crew. The events take place around the time of Episode 4: A New Hope, so the Death
Star is being built, the Princess is in trouble, and some guy named Luke is going
to take all the glory. You'll fly from the sandy planet of Tatooine and even go to
the ice planet Hoth! The story brings back a lot of memorable scenes from the
movie, especially since some of them are presented in the game like C3PO and R2-D2
bickering with one another; however, one thing that wasn't in any of the movies,
was the presence of horrible controls.
There are different ways to play the game, depending on the level, and the control
schemes have different degrees of frustration. first-person shooting from the
cockpit of your X-Wing isn't too bad, but the ship's cursor that you move around to
blast enemies is way too slow. Also, when you have to dodge asteroids, the ships
are way to slow to move and it often takes far too long. The third person flying
levels are the worst, and unfortunately the first level is one of these. The
controls are incredibly shaky, and even though you can change the steering in
options, any way you slice it these controls are frustrating. I was crashing into
so many ugly 3D walls before I even saw a single bad guy. There are also some
aerial and shooting sections, but the bulk of the game is spent in the first two.
Back in 1993, this game probably didn't look terrible, but nowadays it is hazardous
to my eyes. The cut scenes look nice, and they did a good job of converting the
movie scenes, but most of the graphics of the actual gameplay looks awful. Tatooine
has never looked so hideous! It's a brown mess and it makes it incredibly hard to
see where you have to go because everything looks the same.
The sound is nice, though. Like I said, the music is the great Star Wars score and
it actually comes across really well. The voices all sound crisp and clear for the
most part, so I'll have to say that the sound department for this game is actually
pretty good, and it takes advantage of the Sega CD fairly well. In contrast, the
sound effects for like your ship's laser beam sounds incredibly dated and out of
place. It sounds really primitive when compared to the soundtrack.
Thankfully you choose what difficulty you want to play in, and there are passwords
for each difficulty so you don't have to play the whole game through in one
sitting. There are fifteen levels total, some of them take some time, some are
quite short training missions to start off with. Personally, I can't see myself
coming back to play this game, because it just plays slow and clunky, and the
visuals are really muddy in some levels. Yeah, the music and cut scenes are nice,
but if I wanted to hear and see Star Wars couldn't I just watch the movie without
having to put myself through the chore of playing this game?
Star Wars Rebel Assault ends up being a fairly half baked game with some redeeming
values that keep it from being a truly bad game. Star Wars fans might find more to
enjoy in this title, with all the different characters and such, but other gamers
might just find this is a messy and awkward game that just is not that much fun to
play. Yoda once said "Do or do not, there is no try." That's how I feel about this
game. Either make a good game that excels in gameplay, audio, and visuals, or just
drop it. The force is really not with this one.

[CD - STARBLADE]
StarBlade
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Shooter
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1994
Developer: Namco
Publisher: Namco
_________________________
Namco, one of the big names in video gaming, developed Starblade for the Sega CD in
1992. Now, most would welcome such a big name coming to the failed Sega CD console,
I however, scorn it. This is a terribly boring game, even for the most diehard
shooter fan (me). Sadly, there are even worse Sega CD games out there, but it's
games like these, games that should be decent, these are the ones that disappoint
me the most.
The only decent aspect of Starblade is its 3D graphics. You don't control where you
are going and almost every ship is see-through, so don't expect to be impressed.
Early 3D graphics by a company that's capable of much more. I personally think
Namco should've stuck with 2D, maybe made a nice CD version of Dangerous Seed?
instead we have this.
The sound also leaves a lot to be desired. It's not that the sound is bad?.there
isn't any!! This game is entirely devoid of any music whatsoever! Not even an
opening theme! There's just the same voices, repeating the same lines with the same
lame explosion sounds. This ladies and gentleman, is video game "music" at its
worst.
Gameplay? One word: Yawwwwwwwn. Talk about dull, the entire you game you hold
(count em) One button! That's it! The Sega CD wasn't an Atari 2600 Replica last
time I checked, but I guess Namco is determined to fall into the past. Even the
first model Genesis controllers had 3 buttons (4 if you count the start button) and
Starblade, a game reasonably well into the Genesis' life span, uses one button. In
addition, you don't even tap it, you hold it. It seems Namco made ultra sure to
remove any enthralling gameplay that might entertain the player. To top it all off
(as mentioned before) you don't even control your ship! The computer does (and
makes you nauseous in the process). There's only about 15 minutes of play in the
entire game, just to make the torture nice and condensed. Truly pathetic gameplay
that bores even the biggest shooter fans silly?which is quite an insult considering
this is a shooter.
This is definitely one of Namco's saddest efforts. Starblade reeks of a complete

lack of original thought, design, or care?something I've never expected from Namco.
Look at Treasure, Sega, and Compile; even their worst games are a million times
more creative and interesting than Starblade, which is nothing more than proof of
what separates the boys from the men. The worst offender of all? The decision to
even release this game in the first place. Titles like this are another example of
the poor use of such a truly great system and it probably stopped many people from
buying the Sega CD/Mega CD console, despite its library of at least 20 brilliant
games (i.e. Sonic CD, Robo Aleste, Snatcher, etc.).
When all is said and done, you'll beat Starblade; you'll hate Starblade, and you'll
only return for a good laugh. The levels are short, the continues are plentiful,
and the gameplay is non-existent. Don't even bother dusting off this piece of crap.

Release Year: 1993
Developer: Infinite Laser Dog
Publisher: Dynamix
Players: 1
_________________________
Obscure games have always been my favorites to review. I love discovering and
progressing through them gaining the feeling of exploring new territory, as well as
for the fact that there's not much information on them anywhere else. Now, Stellar
Fire probably isn't too obscure compared to other games, but it's definitely been
lost with the passing of time. I threw the game in and played without reading the
manual, and at first I was at a loss as to where to go during each mission. I
turned to the web to help me understand it more, but few sites seemed to pay much
attention to it at all. Finally, I broke down and read the manual, and I was able
to understand what all of the gauges meant on the bottom of the screen. Once I had
a sense of direction, the game became a bit more enjoyable but not enough to make
me consider it a good game.
You are treated to a rather decent FMV intro explaining the storyline, which is
definitely one of the better FMV intros on the Sega CD. It has nice resolution on
limited hardware, and it is also narrated by Star Trek The Next Generation's
Michael Dorn (Worf). While the plot was a tad clich?, it was enough to get the game
moving along well enough. It is a mech game and the objective is to follow your
compass and collect pods that look like rupees from a Zelda game. Once enough are
collected you fight the guardian of the planet. While the concept sounds fair for
1994, the game play is too vague to make it last long enough, not to mention that
if you die anywhere on the stage you have to start it over form the beginning which
is extremely frustrating and time-consuming.
Every objective is the same for each stage, and each one feels like a more
difficult repeat of the last stage except with new backgrounds. There is hardly any
variety to the gameplay at all. There are several gun upgrades that can be found
throughout the game that give you dual fire and lasers, and they help greatly
against the bosses who have gigantic power meters. The big setback to the power ups
is that when you lose a life, you have to restart a stage with the basic firepower.
This is worsened by the fact that you have to power up your ship over several
stages, and when you die you are basically left with basic firepower for several
stages. It's not as unforgiving as some shooters, but an already plodding game
becomes even more tedious when everything, especially bosses, takes more time to
kill.
None of the backgrounds are interactive either; they are just scenery. You
endlessly plod along collecting the pods and blasting enemies. Imagine Star Fox for
the SNES without any stage boundaries for a better impression. Wandering around
takes longer than it should because there is no sense of direction at all, aside
from that given by the compass. The graphics. while passable, are spread too thin
and the developers could have done more with the way the enemies look. It's easy to
judge the distance of each enemy and what each one is, but aside from the intro to
each stage, each enemy and boss is done with simple wire frame builds and in
limited colors. They become far from interesting to look at once you're a few
stages into the game.
The sound effects are unfortunately recycled from every game of the same genre of
the day, and they sound terrible. The CD quality music is where Stellar Fire gets
it right, at least to a certain degree. The game can be played in a CD player and
despite not being "blow you away" good, it was worth the few plays that I listened
to. It is a blend of some typical rock/techno of the '90s similar to the Mr. Big
music done for the Spider-Man game also released on the Sega CD, just not done
nearly of the caliber of that title. The voice sampling is also done fairly well,
and my only complaint (and it's a minor one) is that the in game voice effects
aren't always timed right.
Thankfully, Stellar Fire is a game that uses the Sega CD's capabilities fairly
well, but it just doesn't try to do any fresh tricks with the graphics or gameplay,
which could have been done easily. When it gets down to the wire, this game is far
better than a lot of the gimmicky releases of the day, and despite not being truly
that bad, it still comes off as mediocre. Many owned it back in the day and enjoyed
it, but the standards weren't as high back then, as there wasn't as much to compare
it to. It is most comparable to Star Fox released on the SNES and to a lesser
extent Cybermorph for the Atari Jaguar, but both of those play much better. I'm not
a huge fan of this genre of games, but I can enjoy them when they are high quality.
Unfortunately, this one falls short. Stellar Fire will probably hold the attention
of mech fans, but I couldn't tell you how long it would last. Don't expect this
game to ever rise out of the land of the forgotten. Still, if you own it, then
might be worth a second look.

[CD - AMAZING SPIDER-MAN VS KINGPIN]

The Amazing Spider-Man vs. the Kingpin
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Platformer
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1993
Developer: Monkey Business
Publisher: SEGA
_________________________
Spider-Man vs.the Kingpin features the same core gameplay as the Genesis and Game
Gear renditions, but the Sega CD version features tons of improvements over the
other versions of the game, as it actually makes great use of the CD medium. The
addition of a revamped soundtrack, improved graphics and audio, a completely
overhauled level progression/game exploration system, a slew of hidden items, and
tons of short animated cinemas at certain points in the game that really add to the
Spidey experience. By that same token, the Genesis version contains features not
seen in that version of the game, so if you don't have a Sega CD, don't feel left
out. That version of the game allows you to take pictures for the Daily Bugle
during your battles, so you can buy money for webbing. It's also the only version
of the game to feature the ability to go to Peter Parker's apartment during the
game and heal up. The unique features in each version of the game help to give
every version of the game a feel of it's own.
The plot in all versions is based around a diabolical plot by the Kingpin, who has
planted a bomb that will go off in 24 hours, but, he tells the citizens of New York
via a TV appearance, that Spider-Man is the one behind the planting of the bomb.
Spidey has 24 hours to find the keys necessary to disarm the bomb, and save the
town. In order to get these keys, Spider-Man will have to defeat some of his
greatest rivals, some of them have keys, some don't, but he must beat all of his
enemies in order to find out where the evil Kingpin is. The game features some of
his greatest foes: The Vulture, the Lizard, the Sandman, the evil symbiote Venom,
Doctor Octopus, Mysterio, Electro, and the Hobgoblin. Spidey must remain focused on
the task at hand, he only has one day to disarm the bomb, and save the city.
The core gameplay for this version of the game remains the same as in every other
incarnation of it. Spidey will battle evil-doers in side-scrolling levels, all the
while making use of his webbing, and hand-to-hand combat to vanquish his foes. The
game's levels are accessed via a huge overworld map that spans New York. The side-
scrolling gameplay style fits Spidey perfectly, he is able to make use of each and
every Spidey power, such as the ability to climb up walls and ceilings, the ability
to shoot webbing, and his ever-present Spider-Sense, which warns him of upcoming
danger.
Your goals throughout the game will change based on which level you pick. In some,
you'll just have to beat a thug and save someone, in others, you'll have to fight
thugs to the end of trains and levels, and in others, you'll do all of this while
trying to get to a boss. The pinball mini-game thrown in at certain intervals is
enjoyable, and done better than many full-fledged pinball games.
The control in the game is simply amazing. All of Spidey's abilities can be done
via the game's simple three-button control scheme. You shoot webbing with the A
button; you can swing on the webbing, or make a web shield, or a web bolo that
spreads across a wider area than a regular shot of webbing, you can also make a
continuous stream of webbing that encases a foe to the point of incapacitation.
Given the game's liberal webbing system, this technique is quite effective at
disposing of small-time foes. Hand-to-hand combat is handled with the B button; you
can punch or kick a foe to senselessness. There are various techniques you can use
by simply incorporating the webbing, and/or the hand-to-hand combat. You can tie up
your foe with a shot or two of webbing to secure them in their place, then punch or
kick them, or you can also simply punch them out, however, doing this adds risk
that would be non-existent if you tied them up.
The latter method is more risky, but, it disposes of foes in a faster fashion if it
works perfectly. The C button is used to jump; you can simply jump from place-to-
place, or you can do a jump kick to get to where you want to go, while at the same
time adding some security thanks to the kick. The controls are extremely
responsive, the on-screen action will occur immediately following a button press.
This kind of immediate response is crucial to a Spidey game, since his character
relies on lightning-fast reflexes to survive.
The graphics in the game are awesome. Each character in the game, from Spidey, down
to the lowliest thug, is full of detail. You can make out the eyeholes on Spidey's
costume, and even the belt on a thug's pants. The big-time evil doers in the game
look spectacular. The Kingpin looks like a gargantuan beast, and even has facial
expressions, which do a great job at getting across how menacing he is. The Lizard
features a tattered lab coat, which is just one of the small details that helps to
add to his character's transformation from a mild-mannered scientist, to a
psychotic reptile, it really gets across the struggle that he goes through in the
transformation. The game's environments are just as detailed as the characters. The
subway sections in the game features transparent windows, as well as passengers
walking about the subway car. This small detail does a great job at getting across
the madness occurring in a real-world setting, and it adds to the feel of the game.
The central park sections of the game are just as detailed. Little touches like
newspapers blow in the wind, a fountain spurting water, and a broken-down swing set
add a sense of despair to the in-game NYC. Some aspects of the levels are
interactive, such as the ability to break open a fire extinguisher and force all of
the water out of it, which also adds to the real-world feel of the game.
The sound in the game is spectacular. The hard-rock music is fantastic, with the
main theme having some great lyrical work. The guitar work throughout the music
fits the action well, and adds some motivation to keep going on, just so you can
hear more of it. The quick pacing of it gets over the severity of the situation at
hand, adding even more motivation to get things done. The sound effects, such as
the sound of webbing, or the sound of a punch connecting, are over-the-top and
really help to show that, while the game's setting is in the real-world, and there
is peril afoot, there is always time to just have fun. Some of them, like the over-
the-top death scream, are a bit much, since they take away the emphasis. The sound
effects do serve a purpose though, they do a great job at emphasizing the damage
done by punches, kicks, and webbing, for example.
The replay value of the game is through the roof. Although the game may seem like
it's limiting, thanks to the 24 hour time limit, it is actually quite extensive.
You have a lot of things you can do in that 24 hour time frame. You can tackle each
level with a different strategy to keep the game fresh, or you can place self-
imposed limits on the game in an effort to add some challenge to the game. Being
able to go at your own pace does wonders for the game, as you can tackle things at
your leisure. Say you want to tackle a boss right off the bat, you can.
Conversely, you can get some other levels under your belt, and then tackle that
boss. The freedom offered to you is vastly superior to most other Sega CD games,
and it's refreshing here.
All in all, this is the best Spidey game I have ever played. The frantic side-
scrolling gameplay keeps you on your toes, and it fits the Spidey character to a
tee. The game's control is rock-solid, and it does a great job of getting across
Spidey's lightning-quick reflexes, which you will need if you hope to succeed in
this game. The sound of the game is great. Although some of the sound effects are a
bit too over the top for their own good. This game does an amazing job at capturing
the characters it uses. All of them fit their comic-book personas perfectly. If you

this game up.

[CD - LAWNMOWER MAN]

The Lawnmower Man
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1994
Developer: The Sales Curve
_________________________
The Lawnmower Man is the game based on the 1992 movie of the same name (itself
loosely based on a Stephen King short story) starring pre-Bond fame Pierce Brosnan
as Dr. Lawrence Angelo, a scientist working for Virtual Space Industries in
"Project 5", a secret research that attempts to increase the intelligence of
primates using psychotropic drugs and VR training.
With his reluctance to aim the research to military purpose, after one of the
chimps escapes and shoots a guard in the process he is given a forced vacation, and
while taking notes on the need for experiment with a human subject, he notices Jobe
Smith (Jeff Fahey), a simpleton who makes his living on odd jobs such as mowing the
grass (hence, the title role). The first experiments quickly increase Jobe's
intelligence, and while after an accident Angelo stopped the experiments, The Shop,
a secret agency overviewing Project 5, reinserted the drugs responsible for violent
behaviour into the program and sped up the treatment. As Jobe starts to develop
telekinetic powers, he starts to take revenge on those who abused him before he
started the treatments, and plots to take over all computers in the world.
While the CD version of the game (PC, Mega CD) is an interactive movie, both
cartridge versions are platformers, the player taking control of Dr. Angelo or
Carla Parkette (mother of Jobe's best friend) in typical side-scrolling shooting
action. The player can collect better weapons or data discs, which after collecting
a number of them allow to morph into the Virtual Suit, which gives protection
against a first hit. The player visits several locations seen in the movie, such as
the gas pump and the VSI headquarters.
The twists of the game are true-3D level connectors, based on the CG sequences of
the movie, usually all involving avoiding obstacles (and the occasional shooting)
at high speed in the VR world. There are four different (Virtual World, Cyber War,
Cyber Run and Cyber Tube), each taking a slightly different approach (Virtual World
is seen in first person, the objective being dodging obstacles such as trees and
archs and reach the exit, Cyber War similar to Virtual World but with some shooting
stops, Cyber Run is seen in third person and requires occasional shooting of
obstacles, while Cyber Tube is a fast travel with plenty of enemies in a VR
tunnel).

[CD - THE MASKED RAIDER]

The Masked Rider: Kamen Rider ZO
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Action
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1994
Publisher: SEGA
_________________________
The Masked Rider is a Japanese super hero, a man who has become genetically altered
to be a man/grasshopper who rides a motorcycle.
This FMV game adapts scenes from the movie Masked Rider ZO, and creates a Dragon's
Lair style experience. The game centers around 10 battles of the film's 3 main
characters.
The player watches the video and hits the correct direction or button at the right
time to achieve success. The visual cues of the movie suggest the correct buttons.
For example, when the Masked Rider punches, the player should press the Punch
button. If he dodges left on screen, the player should press the left direction
pad. Correct timing hits the enemy harder, lowering their health bar. Failure
reduces the players health.
Completing the moves accurately will allow the player to "defeat the monster early"
and watch the rest of the video as a reward.

[CD - SECRET OF MONKEY ISLAND]

The Secret of Monkey Island
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Adventure
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1992
Players: 1
_________________________
The poor SEGA CD didn't have a proud release, with only a small pack of games
available at launch, most of which were considered sub par. I almost discarded The
Secret of Monkey Island as another example of bad gaming when I saw the pics of it,
as it looked like a colorless Genesis title with probably nothing to show for
itself. But if you HAVE seen screen shots of it, don't believe them necessarily,
because this is actually a gorgeous-looking game and a real delight to play for
every reason I can think of.
The Secret of Monkey Island actually has a very absurd and ridiculous story.
Wandering the world, the hero and player of the game, named "Guybrush Threepwood"
has landed at the Port of Melee Island. He has a real aspiration to be a pirate and
thus opens the gameplay going into town to find some pirates to ask advice on
pursuing this career.
The first thing that really struck me was the stellar audio. I had played Genesis
for so long and been really used to the monotonous cartridge tunes and the maniacal
imitation techno beats and whiny songs from many Genesis shooters and adventure
games, but when I got a Sega CD, the sound quality of games changed forever what
I'd expect from a game. The music here tickles you right from the second the title
screen comes up and is light, soothing, and tropical; complete with beautiful pipes
of pan, steel drums, and many other wonderful things. It really reminds you of
being on a vacation in the ancient Bahamas or something. The music not only sounds
acceptable, it's almost therapeutic.
The title screen is colorful and shows you a panned-back view of the island on a
very dark and misty night, while the glow of candles and torches glisten below.
This sets you up for the whole atmosphere of the game from there on. Dark.
Mysterious. Cold. Spooky! The CD soundtrack of ocean waves and seagulls completely
immerses you in that reality. The game reminds me of life back at camp when I was a
boy, where we played night games in the woods and had to go through the dark on
foot, looking out for trouble, wondering where to go, exploring, enjoying
ourselves. Seriously, even though these graphics could probably be done on the
Genesis, I love the whole ambience.
The Secret of Monkey Island plays like a classic point-and-click PC graphic

adventure. Your character can move freely to wherever you move the arrow on the
screen to. Point-and-click adventures actually are nice because they open up a lot
of different choices of action for your player to perform and don't require
learning a lot of complex controls. Just click the the word "open" from the list,
and click where to go. Or click "Give" and click on the person whom you want to
give something to. And so forth. Very simple and enjoyable.
The entire saga feels very huge and vast and is all on this one CD. The story is
divided into different chapters, though that doesn't say much, since the story
isn't all that huge, but there is definitely plenty to do. Within the island you
begin with, there are over fifty different locations and areas to travel to, over
seventy different characters to interact with as well as several sub-plots with
various people. This is great fun since it expands the amount of missions you get
to do. And they're actually fun, since you get to move at your own pace and very
rarefy feel pressured to hurry up.
The cast of characters is kooky and bizarre. There are many different pirates, and
it's impossible for me to remember them all. However, each character has his own
unique personality which reflects the great sense of humor in the game makers at
LucasArts. At times, Secret of Monkey Island does really make you laugh out loud,
considering there's a lot of juvenile, as well as subtle adult humor. During the
game, you will wonder to yourself why they didn't utilize the digital quality of CD
technology to give the main characters actual voice talents. But in my opinion, it
might have made the game less enjoyable, depending on how forgiving you are of
really bad voice actors. I personally love speaking out loud in my OWN voices!
As much as you have to do on the island in the beginning, it's really great when
the story progresses to another island. The story opens itself up to you in time,
and plays cut scenes to let you in on what's happening so you'll often be kept
aware of who's who and where you must be getting to next. The story itself has a
mysterious ghost pirate who lives in hell and has inane and idiotic conversations
with his demon servants. I can't get enough of the rather stupid dialogue here.
It's really amusing and original.
The real joy in all of this is Guybrush's saga itself. Throughout the story, you
gain experience and learn new fighting techniques from the masters you meet, and
you deal with a lot of puzzle solving situations which in the end are a lot of fun
to pull off and are hilarious to watch at the same time. Keeping with the awesome
control given to you over events, the ending even gives you a choice of dialogue to
end the game on!
I know, I've built this game really big so that it feels like I don't have any
problem with it, and I don't exactly. To some people, it is a fairly valid point to
think that the graphics are not very good. I heartily disagree with that assertion
in some ways, yet in others I don't. The animation is impressive, but not
revolutionary for Genesis. It's also fair to say that there's isn't a whole lot of
color in this game. But that's only due to the Genesis color palette. Hey, the
little thing tries its best!
If I had to sum up The Secret of Monkey Island, I'd say it's a really, really fun
Genesis game with CD quality sound and music. I guess that IS disappointing when
you've just bought a new system that's supposed to be really powerful. The graphics
are not really any kind of step forward in video gaming at the point in time at
which it was released, but that's not to say you should go without it. It's not the
graphics that always necessarily make a game, and they certainly don't make THIS
one. The gameplay is great, and that's what really counts. For any SEGA CD owner,
you simply can't go wrong with this title.

[CD - TERMINATOR]
The Terminator
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Action
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1993
_________________________
The Terminator on the Sega CD provides gamers with a great dose of action, as well
as showing off how much a great CD soundtrack can add to the atmosphere of a game.
My hat goes off to Virgin Games for not just rehashing the Genesis release, but
instead creating new levels, new music, and adding scenes from the movie, that all
come together for a strong punch to the Sega CD library.
There are ten huge levels for Kyle to run and gun through as he tries to get back
to the past to save Sarah Conner from the Terminator. Some of the levels are really
massive, like the city levels leading up to the encounter with the Terminator at
the Techno Bar. There are hidden items and power ups spread throughout the levels,
so if you take your time while you play, you'll be sure to find a bunch of extra
goodies to help you stop the machines. At the end of most levels there will be a
huge boss fight, so it's a wise move to try and find the better guns and bombs to
kill the baddies.
The controls are quite simple, you can shoot your gun, throw bombs, and jump. Kyle
can shoot left, right, and up. He can also shoot at an angle while climbing stairs
or ladders. The only problem I had with controlling the main character was that
sometimes his jumping would get a bit sticky and he would continue to jump one or
two extra times after I had pressed the button, but this was a rare occurrence. All
told, the controls work very well and it is a good deal of fun blazing through
these levels.
Graphically, things look quite nice. Some of the levels do look too similar though
(for instance the two town levels leading up to the bar look very similar). It
would have been nice for a few more different enemies, as it gets kind of weird
blasting away the same blue haired guy, or dude with a red jacket, over and over
again. But the enemy variation still includes a good number of humans and robots
alike to gun down.
There are nice graphical touches throughout this version. Between each level is a
short scene taken straight from the movie. There's no sound to it (just the
Terminator theme music) and the picture quality is quite grainy, but it was a very
cool idea to add real movie scenes into the game. I would have liked the dialogue
to also have been included, but the addition of the short scenes themselves is a
nice touch.
Easily my favorite aspect aside from the simple yet addictive gameplay, is the
stunning Tommy Tallarico soundtrack! Aside from the theme music from the movie,
Terminator boasts some wonderful tunes made exclusively for the Sega CD version. It
is easily one of the better Sega CD soundtracks I've ever heard, and it totally
adds to the experience. The music is mostly guitar based, adrenaline pumping tunes,
but there are also quieter piano tracks, and even an awesome techno track for the
bar level. There was only one song that felt out of place, and that was the oddly
upbeat track that was used for the police station level. Aside from the great
soundtrack, there are also some nice and loud explosion sound effects, and it all
adds to the fun of playing the game.
With a few different difficulty levels to choose from, you can mend the game's
difficulty to your liking. It also takes over an hour to finish, which is pretty
good for the genre. There is no continue option, so if you lose all your lives it
is game over. You can find extra lives hidden in the levels, so it really pays to
take your time and search the levels. I got a "game over" the first few times I
tried to beat Terminator, so it's not the easiest game to beat, but the gameplay is
just so solid and fun that you'll be sure to come back for more.
Any Sega CD fan who is looking for a worthwhile action game on the system, would do
very well to track down a copy of The Terminator. The gameplay is frantic and fun,
but still requires some thinking, the graphics are well done, the sound track is
amazing, and it's sure to provide gamers with some fun. Even after I had finished
playing the game and put the disk back in its case, I knew one simple fact: because
the Terminator on the Sega CD is such an awesome game, I'LL BE BACK!

Dominating the exciting world of Theme Park ownership is your goal in this strategy
game from Bullfrog. The first task is to set up your rides within the available
land, structuring convenient paths and queues and ideally leaving some space for
bigger rides once they become available, and include some lakes and trees to
increase the park's allure. Rides range from Teacups and Haunted Houses to the
biggest most elaborate roller-coaster you can design, and water rides that loop
around other rides.
Shops must also be included, so that the visitors can buy food, drinks and
souvenirs - the cunning player will combine salt, sugar and caffeine settings to
maximize consumer interest. Staff must be hired to keep everything running
smoothly, and they will only work for what they consider a fair rate of pay.
You are competing against other Theme Parks, so don't let them get an advantage
over you - monitor your success in attracting customers and financial viability
closely using the supplied statistics pages. More important, ensure that research
is adequately funded to produce new rides.
It can be played in three modes - Sandbox level lets you concentrate on the park
design elements, while Sim and Full add more strategic features.

Genre: Strateg
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1993
Players: 1
_________________________
If there's one genre that the Sega CD has not been found lacking, it's that of FMV
games. You might say it went above and beyond the call of duty in this area...way
beyond. Yes, there's a ton of crap out there, but if you hold your nose and look
around a bit, you'll find that some are actually worth playing. Particularly worth
a glance are the animated FMV games released by Renovation, the stalwart supporter
of everything Sega that vanished mysteriously during the transition from sixteen to
thirty-two bits. A great developer upheaval that was, and they sadly didn't survive
it.
I'm kind of partial to them for the sheer amount of Japanese goodies they gave us.
If not for Renovation, we may never have enjoyed the Valis series on a Genesis
console, or had the opportunity to kill gargantuan Grim Reapers in Gaiares. We
would probably have missed out on their FMV games too. And while Time Gal isn't as
great as the undisputed king, Road Avenger, it's not all that bad a game in its own
right.
Just like all the laserdisc FMV games ported to the Sega CD, Time Gal has you
making split-second decisions in order to avoid any number of death sequences.
Unlike the father of the genre, Dragon's Lair, they're more comical than gruesome,
but that has a lot to do with the game's inherent charm. Yes, you're still playing
a digital game of Memory, and once you master the sequences you can blow through
from beginning to end with your eyes closed. That's a given, so we can put that
aside as of now. Arguing the nuances of the genre at this point is beating a dead
horse, and if you can't get past the simplicity of the gameplay, then you should
probably stop reading right now...
...still here? Good!
The whole premise of Time Gal is about as original as you'd expect, which is on par
with most of the entries in the genre. Travel through time, escaping various
period-related situations. Armed only with her trusty pistol, Time Gal avoids
dinosaurs, Roman gladiators, dinosaurs, massive death-dealing robots, and more
dinosaurs. In case I forgot to mention, there are also dinosaurs. Is it me or did
original developers Taito go a little nuts with the prehistoric creatures? It seems
like half the games take place before humanity was even a primordial ooze, and
escaping the gaping jaws of beastie death can get a little old.
Though there's not as much variety to the enemies as one would like, the gameplay
does try to take a twist that similar games did not. Every few levels or so, you're
presented with three options: one being the correct choice and the others leading
to instant death. While I appreciate the desire to spice things up, this
inadvertently leads to some real frustration. The choice has to be made with no
hints or even subliminal messages. You basically do it "eeny, meeny, miny, mo" and
pray for the best. Choose poorly and you're sent back, to try, try again. Again,
this can be highly frustrating, but I guess the whole trial and error deal is part
and parcel of the genre.
That being said, the actual adventure is pretty fun the first couple of times you
play. You can choose from several difficulty levels, which adds a teeny bit of
replay value for those who have gone through the game a few times. The visuals are
surprisingly clear for a Sega CD FMV game, with the exception of the cut scenes,
which are grainy and washed out. I'm a bit disappointed with the lack of audio
overall though, as the little music there is doesn't do much to set the atmosphere.
Road Avenger had a theme song that was wonderfully cheesy, but there's nothing here
to make your ears perk. Only Time Gal's little quips bear any mention, and they're
not even all that plentiful.
That in itself might actually set the game's whole tone right there: capable but
not noteworthy. Hardly the type of distinction you want for a game struggling to
get noticed in an already saturated genre, and it probably caused most gamers to
look right past Time Gal as another worthless FMV game. I guess there's nothing
wrong with being capable, but given the state of the Sega CD's domestic library in
1993, Wolf Team should have perhaps given us more than just a solid port. Why not
add some extras? A time attack mode, anything! There's not really much meat left on
these bones once you beat it a few times, and you probably won't come back to it
often, if at all.
Of course, if you're a fan of FMV games, than this won't be a problem for you at
all. Remember, once you understand the relative confinements of the genre in terms
of gameplay, you're free to squeeze each title for whatever it's worth. Time Gal
might lack the squishy goodness of a roll of Charmin, but I still recommend giving
it a try. There are some cool moments sprinkled throughout the adventure (love the
massive robot of the future!), and it's actually a bit longer than you'd think.
Aside from that, there really isn't much else about Time Gal that's worth
mentioning, and your mileage will vary as to how long it'll spin in your console.
In the end, Renovation delivers a fun little romp that's only really set back by
the genre to which it belongs. It may be worth a look, but don't feel like you've
done yourself a massive disservice by not playing it. There are better Renovation
games out there, and if you're looking for a Wolf Team FMV game, I suggest trying
Road Avenger instead.

[CD - TOMCAT ALLEY]

Tomcat Alley
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Platforme
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1994
Publisher: SEGA
_________________________
Almost sensing that Digital Pictures had the corner on full-motion games covered,
Sega attempted to muscle in on the then-booming FMV business and released a few
games of its own under the TruVideo label. Along with such titles like Prize
Fighter and Wirehead, Sega CD owners also received the fast-paced action of Tomcat
Alley. While not particularly different in execution from every other FMV game ever
released, it does at least go a bit farther towards actually being enjoyable. But
then, when we're talking about FMV games, so that doesn't usually say much.
Truth be told, I was really expecting the groan-inducing intro to lead me into
another laughable video effort that would be fun and humorous for all the wrong
reasons. Given Tomcat Alley's simplistic gameplay and bare bones story, it seemed
like I wouldn't get more than a few hours of game time out of Sega's Top Gun
wannabe. Imagine my surprise then, when I actually found myself enjoying this one,
and looking back on it for what it is, I actually applaud Sega for using FMV in a
way that plays to the genre's strengths instead of trying to make it play like a
regular game that uses video. That was the principle problem with most FMV
releases, and it was refreshing to finally see a game try another direction.
Anyone who picks up Tomcat Alley thinking they're going to soar through the sky at
supersonic speed a la Tom Cruise will no doubt be disappointed by what they
actually get. Players don't actually fly the plane, and they instead take the role
of a nameless rookie RIO (Radio Intercept Officer) who accompanies an ace pilot
named Dakota. The duo are tasked with taking out a mad Russian colonel who's
bunkered down in the Mexico desert with a whole lot of hardware. Since the game
makes absolutely no effort to explain exactly how the guy was able to leave Russia
with half of its air force, I guess the player shouldn't wrack his brains over it
too much either.
The secret to what makes Tomcat Alley work lies in its simplicity. Yes, it sucks
that you can't actually fly the F-14 through the air while launching an insane
amount of missiles at oncoming foes. Wait, didn't I just describe Afterburner? Well
then, it seems that Sega already has that angle on air warfare suitably covered.
Tomcat Alley puts a little more brain work into the gameplay, requiring the player
to locate enemies via waypoints, select targets individually based on proximity,
and even avoid enemy missiles through countermeasures or some quick maneuvering.
While the player actually does little more than pressing the occasional button, the
way everything is choreographed serves to create something of an illusion of action
and speed, something vital for a game centered around dogfighting.
Gameplay revolves around the HUD, which has onscreen prompts for everything from
answering radio calls to selecting targets. The challenge comes from the player
only having five seconds to select an icon from the bottom of the screen before
receiving a warning from Dakota. Three seconds later, he aborts the mission if the
wrong selection or none was made. I agree with those readers already complaining
that this sounds like typical FMV pain-in-the-ass gameplay that forces the player
to restart the whole mission from the beginning due to only a single error. As one
would expect, trial-and-error are, as always, key to getting anywhere in this type
of game, and Tomcat Alley's missions are thankfully straightforward and short
enough for most players to get through without having to replay them a thousand
times before losing interest (read: Supreme Warrior).
There are seven stages, and while most of the radio and waypoint action is a
breeze, the dogfights can be a real challenge. The F-14 comes equipped with a
specific amount of firepower and only nine countermeasures, something that can run
out quickly if a fight drags on for too long. Since players are only manipulating
the onscreen reticule, concentration should be devoted to finding the right icon at
the right time. The A button fires and B is for everything else, which makes
gameplay easy to get into. If you find your plane out of ammo and chaff, you can
even try to dodge an incoming missile by selecting another target, though this
usually only works about half the time.
My only real issue with the gameplay comes from having to select an icon from the
bottom corners of the screen. Why can't I just use the C button, which only
performs the useless function of removing the HUD? No one will ever find the need
to remove the HUD, so the button would have been put to much better use in cycling
weapons and options. As it is, players will find themselves sometimes rushing to
cycle through to find the correct icon before the time limit expires and Dakota
aborts the mission. Targeting is also occasionally a pain, due to all the jerking
about. Once the player has a feel for it though, it does get better. The big
question here is whether or not gamers will give Tomcat Alley that much of their
time.
I sincerely think they should. I liked Sega's "active matrix" dynamic, which
ensures that each game won't be played exactly the same. Given that there's only a
select amount of video to use, each play won't be totally different, but things
should be mixed up enough to make it seem like a new experience every time the game
is booted up. Coupled with the excellent full-screen video quality (for the Sega
CD, anyway) and rocking soundtrack, Tomcat Alley definitely comes off as a serious
effort on Sega's part. Unlike most of the Digital Pictures games, which were all
flash and no substance, this one at least makes an attempt at delivering action.
Tomcat Alley may not reach the perfect balance of presentation and gameplay that
FMV proponents tried so hard to achieve, but it definitely represents a step up on
the ladder towards that golden ring. The genre would have truly been better off had
more games gone this route of masking simple gameplay with a great mixture of
meticulously picked stock footage and great camera angles. Though it's still
nothing to get excited about, Tomcat Alley at least delivers a good time for a
cheap price. Given the quality of FMV competition available on the platform, that
might not actually be such a bad thing.

[CD - ULTRAVERSE PRIME]

Ultraverse Prime
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Board Gam
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1994
Players: 1
_________________________
Although the package appears to be a compilation, this is the first and only
release of Ultraverse Prime. Since it was originally envisioned as a SNES game but
not completed, it was eventually released as a Sega CD title as a pack-in with
Microcosm, a game that was released separately before. As such this should be
considered the base entry for Ultraverse Prime.
It is a sidescrolling brawler game similar to Final Fight or Streets of Rage.

Players control the superhero Prime, a thirteen year-old boy called Kevin Green
that has the power to transform into a superhero adult version of himself. Prime
can punch, kick and jump, and combine these into some new moves and combos. The
player as well as the enemies can also occasionally find weapons or objects to pick
up and throw. Some stages are much faster as Prime flies at a fast speed and needs
to punch obstacles and enemies out of the air.
As a bonus, fifteen different Prime comic book issues can be accessed through the
main menu, as well as video interviews with the writers and artists.
The game design has the typical SNES feel, with no changes made to match the
advanced options of the Sega CD platform. Compared to the SNES prototype, even
though the graphics style is the same, the fighting style is slightly different and
a 7-minute rock theme song was added along with the bonus features mentioned above.

[CD - VAY]
Vay
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1994
Developer: Sims
_________________________
In the early years of the Genesis RPG's struggled to survive. True, there were the
marked successes of the big franchises, Phantasy Star, and the humble beginnings to
the Shining Force series, but all in all RPG's were still overlooked and arcade
ports were popular. Still the NES had contained a fair number of RPG's and Strategy
games, and the Genesis took after that example. By the time of the Sega CD's
arrival RPG's had finally found there niche and if there were any left who doubted
this fact it took only one playthrough of Lunar to erase doubts. Unfortunately the
arrival of Lunar set expectations high, so many turned up their noses at Working
Designs next RPG, Vay.
I found Vay to be a thoroughly gripping and fun RPG and to this day regret that
Lunar inadvertently made it slip through the cracks. The game has a fairly high
beginning, in which Prince Sandor of the Lorath Kingdom is about to wed the Lady
Elin. Shortly before the completion of the ceremony, thousands of mechanized
warriors from the Danek Empire wreck the castle and kidnap Elin. Sandor's parents
die, and he sets off to meet with the wise man Otto and learn what is to be done,
because technology such as that which Danek holds has never been seen or heard of
before, except for one old legend of the Vay Armor. Most people seemed to feel that
such a plot wasn't worthy of their attention after playing such a wonderful game as
Lunar. Well I found the plot adequate to begin with, and thoroughly excellent as
the interesting twists were played out. Vay was also one of the first games to
incorporate the death of a party member into its story.
On the other hand the graphics were fairly mediocre and didn't offer much in the
way of eye candy. This didn't deter me, but the graphics still looked to be typical
Genesis fair and somewhat poorly detailed given the time that it was released. The
story being fairly linear didn't offer all that much of noticeable scenery, but it
got the job done. The anime-style cut scenes were quite good though, and unlike
most games of the period, offered solid voice acting across the board. Characters
weren't exactly innovative in appearance, but they worked well enough for the most
part. The only place where I draw the line is with Sandor's hair. Now I want
readers (and Sega) to know that I have nothing against men with long hair. I even
wore my own hair long for quite some time, but I must protest that Sandor's hair
makes him look like a woman with a faintly evil face. There's just something wrong
with that.
The sound is decent for the most part, with the soundtrack ranging anywhere from
mediocre to excellent. Most of the tunes are far from being exemplary, but the
overworld theme will be stuck in your head for days, and the others do set the
atmosphere well most of the time, if they don't succeed in being all that
memorable. The sound is standard fair really. I can't comment on it other than to
say that it wasn't bad enough or good enough for me to remember it particularly.
As with the sound, there's not too much to be said for control, which is more a
less the same as other games in the genre. The battle commands are easy to
understand, and the only thing that might throw you off at first is the fact that
Sandor truly tends to poddle along (no pun intended). Thankfully, you can just hold
down the A button to make him speed up. All in all, the control is decent and
there's little else to say. All games rely upon their gameplay first and foremost,
and Vay delivers well in this arena, playing as your typical RPG.
Although the plot is quite linear, there's enough overworld wandering in all parts
of the story to be fairly satisfying to most. Perhaps a little more exploration
wouldn't have hurt the game, but I found it to be enjoyable. This game is fairly
tough however. It doesn't have particularly complex dungeons, but the monsters are
strong and increase in strength fairly rapidly. You're required to gain a few
levels every section, but fortunately that's not hard. Many complained of the
brutally random battles that came up every few steps, but I found it to be a great
strength. With all of the battles, the fact that the overworld exploration is
slightly minimal is much easier to overlook and it makes gaining levels an even
easier process than it already is, although you'll have to be prepared to lose some
blood in the process. And though the dungeons could be more complex, they're hard
enough with the tough monsters and (usually) tough bosses coming at you.
In the end I found Vay to be more than just a solid RPG and much more than the
bitter disappointment it's made out to be. This was one of the great games of the
genre for it's time, and if it wasn't for a couple of noticeable flaws, it would
truly be a masterpiece.

Another live-actor arcade shooter by American Laser Games (makers of Mad Dog McCree

era.
As the title suggests, you're supposed to find out who shot singer Johnny Rock (or
at least who hired the guys who shot him) and put them behind bars.
There are some differences between this game and previous American Laser Games
shooters. Instead of a wimpy pistol, you get a tommy gun (which doesn't need to be
reloaded). Unfortunately, you also have limited ammo and need to buy more at times.
Instead of lives you have a fixed supply of money, and each time you die you lose
some cash. Lose it all and it's game over.

An adventurer named Dusty returns home with an enchanted Totem Pole. Due to an
assortment of rare events, the spirits of the Totem have been freed and they have
created a bizarre parallel universe that can devour the world. Lowman, the "head"
of the Totem, needs some "muscle" as he calls it, to bring them back. He finds a

you can also erase boxes that most of the time teleport if you press down. Other
boxes contain items. You also can sketch things and they will come to life, but you
can only do this twice because Woody shrinks very quickly from doing this. There
are also power-ups that make you grow again.

[CD - WIREHEAD]
Wirehead
Region: USA

Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Flight Simulator > Actio
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1995
Publisher: SEGA
Players: 1
_________________________
Isn't that the guy from the Hogan Family... remember that show? No? Oh, well never
mind then. To put it simply, this is yet another FMV game for Sega CD that is
nothing but full-motion video (as opposed to video that isn't full-motion) with
some interactivity thrown in for good measure.
Wirehead is also another FMV title that I don't particularly think is a waste of
time. The true reason why I feel most people are ever interested in FMV games is
because they enjoy the story, and Wirehead, in my opinion, is just such a game. I
love this story because it's so bizarre, far-fetched, ridiculous, and laughable!
It's my contention that this game is one you will certainly have fun with and will
never forget.
Ned Hubbard is our main character here. He's a normal guy. He has a wife, and two
children. He lives in a nice house in a friendly, completely normal neighborhood
and, for all intents and purposes, is text-book normal. This game could very well
have had a prequel for all we know. There's mention of some sort of "accident" that
happened to Ned as our story begins. His head has been wired by this scientist
with... something. We don't know what, but there is now some sort of electronic
junk sticking out of his ear and an antennae sticking upward, and he actually has a
controller that he keeps on his person that is able to control his body. And to
make matters worse, some very evil people who want in on this body-control
technology have ambushed its creator (Dr. OJa) and killed or tortured those who
know about the operation he previously performed on Ned.
The story opens up much like a movie. The roaring lion from MGM is in the opening
of the game. Classic! The game then begins with credits and music, just like a
movie, and we zoom in onto Ned, who's sleeping on his easy chair in his home. His
two children sneak up on him and swipe his controller from his pocket and hide on
the staircase. The doorbell rings. It's the post woman and she's here with a
package for Ned. Since he gets up and answers the door, it's safe to assume he is
able to move around and complete simple tasks on his own, so it's not very clear
why he has or even needs a controller to control his body. It does make for a
hilarious gag as his children start playing with it and make Ned dance around and
do back flips, while the mother comes down the stairs and scolds the kids for
"playing with father's controller." It's all so random and ridiculous, and the look
on the post woman's face as she walks away is priceless!
Anyway, to keep from digressing from the story, it then gets serious as Ned opens
the package. It's a video tape. Ned plays it for us to see and it's a recorded
message from his friend and life-saver Dr. Oja. Oja describes a desperate situation
in which his nurse has been killed and he's been tortured. He also says that he's
escaped and fears he doesn't know how long before they find him or you. "They" is
not made clear right away, which obviously is great and adds to the tension and
engages you in the unfolding story. The video is also great because Oja, after
promising to get in touch with you soon, says that in the meantime he's got
"someone looking over you with HIS controller." THAT'S YOU!! A little message in
the corner of the screen shows you logging on and you think, "Whoa, that's my
command screen! I'm in control of Ned!" After two suspicious characters come to the
door posing as FBI, you make a break for it and make a daring escape from the
house. And this is where you take control of the action.
It's quite simple. A bunch of arrows, representing the D-pad, will appear on the
screen, and you get to choose what route Ned chooses throughout the game in his
relentless escape from those out to get him. Wirehead gets full marks for having an
impressive amount of variety in where you are able to go and how far you can go.
But basically, the game is nothing more than a movie where you get to decide where
it leads. The way your life meter works is you have three battery cells, each with
three lives. If you make a mistake that kills you, gets you caught, or something
else bad, the screen turns to white snow and you lose a life. Each battery is
basically a continue and once all three are depleted, you have to start all over
from the very beginning.
Once you learn all the routes, you'll start to discover shortcuts in which you
don't have to complete as many turns. Occasionally, you'll have to press one of the
buttons to "punch" or "kick" someone, but virtually the entire time you're simply
choosing some direction on the D-pad for which way to go. In some respect, this
game is quite a lot like Dragon's Lair, the classic laser disc-based arcade game by
Don Bluth in which you make split decisions about where your character will go to
at what times, and the rest of the time you're just watching a bunch of movie
footage as your reward.
Wirehead is broken up into chapters of sorts. Once you manage to get through a
scenario, you'll be rewarded with a cut scene showing the progress of the story.
The end of this cut scene is usually where you'll start over after you lose one
life (battery). You'll only have to go back three or so steps if you only lose a
turn (1/3 a battery). More characters come into play as things go on. The story is
obviously something I can leave to you to find out about, as it's just too strange
to be believe and frankly, it would ruin the game if I tell you any more.
Wirehead is a must-have title for anyone who is either a fan of FMV or even a fan
of bad movies. Ned's character is such a dork, and he'll give you these odd looks
in the camera if you make a bad or strange decision. If you take him on a risky
route, he'll get scared and petrified, along with whoever comes with him, and the
screams and fighting that ensues between him and others will have you cracking up!
The replay value is great because playing again gives you the chance to give it
another go to find different routes and see other endings to different chapters of
the game. It all basically leads to the same ending of the game though, which is
the only thing I'd nitpick at.
Also, this game can get a little aggravating because the only way you will beat it
is through lots of trial and error, which of course means you'll have to play
through it many times before you can figure out where to go. And you may be getting
really far, but you know in the back of your mind that you're on your last battery
cell and the next mistake you make will mean you have to start the whole game over
again. If you don't have the patience, you'll be extremely tempted to give up. My
suggestion is that you don't because you'll be missing out on a lot of
ridiculousness.
Overall, even though FMV is not my favorite genre, I have to give Wirehead high
marks because it's just really funny. It had me laughing hard, and I've never
laughed this hard with an FMV title. If you have a sense of humor, you can't go
wrong with this title. It's easy to control, it's simplistic in nature, and it's a
born Sega CD title. It's also one of the last titles ever made for the Sega CD.
Snag a copy somewhere, and do it today!

[CD - WOLFCHILD]
Wolfchild
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Platformer
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1993
_________________________
Many gamers and critics often claim that the Sega CD is a waste of space because
many of its games were just revamped Genesis titles with fancy soundtracks and FMV
sequences. This is, of course, not at all the complete truth. However, with
Wolfchild it is, a not-so-well-known action platformer from the Sega CD's early
days.
The CD version is exactly like the Genesis port, except it has a simple animated
intro with stiff voice acting and a brand new soundtrack. This isn't necessarily a
bad thing, but more of an unnecessary thing. The intro has some unintentionally
funny moments, and our hero has an uncanny resemblance to Mic Michaeli (of Europe
"fame"), but overall it's a nonsensical waste. It looks great, the colors are
clear, full screen and with no pixelation. It's animated poorly though, and it
reminds me of early Internet flash cartoons, as there are load times during cuts
which blunt the drama. But does any of this matter?
No, not really. Ninety percent of the time most of us skip through every intro and
get right to the game, this is minor stuff (further proof that this game really
didn't need to come out on the Sega CD, and the intro feels totally tacked on). As
for what the game is about, it's your typical bad guy taking over the world with
mutants, with a little kidnapping and vengeance thrown in (At least that's what I
think its about, the manual is a little inconsistent with the in-game intro...).
Our hero starts off with just his fists, but they are fairly effective. There are
power ups throughout, and some raise the "vitality" bar until he transforms into a
werewolf of sorts. When he transforms, he immediately gets his Single Fireblast. It
has unlimited ammo but be careful not to take too much damage, or you will revert
to your fist-waving human form. There are also smart bombs that you start out with
that destroy practically everything on-screen. Seven additional power up/weapons
are available, including: the Flamer, the Threeway, and the Homer (so many
possibilities... remember those three-word stories from school?). There are other
items: shields, continues, vitality, smart bombs and, of course, points.
The controls are extremely responsive, too. The game is a cinch to control, and
overall it really is fun! There are some annoying cheap hits, and jumping is a tad
stiff. For a good comparison, think Terminator, but most of the enemies go down
after one sock to the face. They do regenerate though, and sometimes you'll get
stuck on a platform, kill something and before you can get away the mutant is back.
Unfortunately, this game looks like it came right off the NES. The sprites are
small, the backgrounds are pretty bland, and the level designs have a real vanilla
feel. That being said, when we get to the meat and bones, the gameplay, you get a
pretty freaking awesome game. It sort of reminds of Contra. They seem almost like
sibling games, only Wolfchild is more slowly paced. Throw in some Shinobi, more
melee, and we've pretty much summed it up.
The sounds are a mixed bag, and while I can't comment on how they all compare to
the Genesis port, I'm willing to wager that most are probably identical. The
punching sounds really annoy me - they sound like coins being shaken in a plastic
box - but overall they're generic but get the job done. The CD soundtrack is
bitchin' pure and simple, and in many ways it reminds me of the Terminator. It has
all that techno/hair metal/synthy goodness we children of the '80s hold so dear.
Whether you pick up Wolfchild on the Genesis or the Sega CD is up to you. The CD
version has a rockin' sound track and some funny FMV scenes, and if you're into all
that as I am, you'll want to take the Sega CD route. If you don't care, well you
can depend on the Genesis version for a few hours of enjoyable gameplay. It's not a
must-have, but its good for an afternoon of fun.

[CD - WWF - RAGE IN THE CAGE]

WWF: Rage in the Cage
Region: USA
Media: Compact Disc
Controller: Gamepad
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 1994
Publisher: Arena
_________________________
In the early to mid '90s, I was obsessed with all things wrestling. The WWF was my
company of choice, and I was a walking advertisement for the brand. I splurged on
tons of its merchandise; my walls were covered with posters, my wardrobe consisted
of Ultimate Warrior, Razor Ramon, and Bret Hart t-shirts and I even bought those
HBK gloves. You know, the ones that are cut midway through each finger? Yep, I was
begging for an ass-kicking. And being a gamer, I had to own each new and improved
WWF game.
Rage in the Cage plays a lot like the three other 16-bit WWF game: Super
Wrestlemania, Royal Rumble, and Raw. To give you an idea of where it stands in the
WWF timeline, it was released after Royal Rumble, but before Raw. Both of those
games can be a lot of fun, so it would make sense that Rage in the Cage would
follow suit. After all, it's running on the superior Sega CD hardware, and the
gimmick here is cage matches. Who doesn't love cage matches? Unfortunately, Rage in
the Cage falls short in almost every way.
The Sega CD itself has always presented both advantages and disadvantages. Because
Rage in the Cage is a CD game, I expected fantastic music and memorable entrance
videos. What I got wasn't even close. There are only a few instances when this game
reminds you which system it's running on. You can watch a quick video of each
wrestler pulling off his finishing maneuver, but the video lacks color and quality.
After characters enter the ring, the gamer is treated to a quick character-specific
sound bite. The problem is, each sound-bite is preceded and followed by a small
load time. Fortunately, you can skip these repetitive clips. And of course, people
spoiled by previous WWF cart-based games may be surprised and frustrated by the
amount of load times present. One thing becomes very clear ten minutes into the
game: the amount of positive changes related to the hardware switch pale in
comparison to the amount of negative changes. To put it bluntly, the game would've
been better suited on the Genesis.
Rage in the Cage seemingly offers a good amount of material. There are twenty
characters to choose from, including favorites like Bret "Hitman" Hart, Undertaker,
and Shawn Michaels. Likewise, some serious b-listers Samu, Fatu, and Crush come to
mind are thrown in as well. There are four modes to play: one fall, brawl,
tournament, and cage match. One fall can be great for practice or when playing one
of your buddies, brawl is the same without referees, and tournament is the closest
you're going to get to a "career mode." You run through all nineteen opponents to
become WWF Champion. The real draw here, though, is the brand new "cage match"
mode. Cage matches play exactly the same as Brawl matches, with the stipulation
being that you must exit the ring to win.
Of course, all the modes and characters in the world won't matter if the gameplay
is broken. With Rage in the Cage, everything works, and that's the best compliment
I can give. The game plays exactly as you'd expect: you punch, kick, grapple, and
pull off various maneuvers based on button presses during grapples. It's important
to note that while the game will work using a standard three-button pad, a six-
button pad really enhances the experience. My issue with the game - and this issue
really extends to all WWF 16-bit games - is that it lacks any real depth. You
grapple, mash on a button as fast as you can, rinse, and repeat. Every character
uses the same basic move structure, so besides executing finishers, each experience
is exactly the same. Why does Yokozuna run just as fast as Shawn Michaels? A little
more time spent on individualizing and balancing the characters would have gone a
long way. That said, the game controls just fine... shallow, but fine.
Visually, things are on par with Royal Rumble, and all the characters are instantly
recognizable. I was expecting more color than the prior Genesis games, but there
isn't really a notable difference. Another minor complaint is that all characters
animate the same. They all have the same run, punch, and body slam. Again, based on
the various sizes of the characters, things just feel a little off. As for the
added video, the quality is grainy and small, but it's a nice inclusion
nonetheless.
My biggest complaint of all is the lack of CD-quality music. The music never rises
above SNES quality. One of my favorite things to do with Royal Rumble was to keep
the character-select screen on certain characters, knowing that my favorite
entrance themes would begin playing. When I learned of Rage in the Cage, I expected
ACTUAL entrance songs. Instead, I got midi-quality bastardizations of my favorite
songs, with no vocals to speak of. The same goes for the in-game sound effects.
Each punch and kick is met with a "grunt" that sounds as if it were made for the
Genesis. Why move to the Sega CD if you're not willing to take advantage of its
strengths? Again, each character has a small sound-bite, which just like the video
is unnecessary but welcomed.
Ultimately, Rage in the Cage disappoints. Though the game was released between
Royal Rumble and Raw, it ends up falling short compared to either one. The game is
almost exactly the same as Royal Rumble, with just the "cage match" interchanged
with "Royal Rumble" (I'd take the Royal Rumble mode over the cage match mode any
day of the week), and lacks the variety that made Raw worth owning. Add to this
missed CD opportunities and you have a very average game. If you're a fan of
wrestling, go out and buy Raw. Rage in the Cage just isn't worth the asking price.

_________________________
Like mini golf? Then this is the game for you. It plays much in the same fashion as
many billiards titles, with you manipulating the ball's path through a cursor and
then deciding how much force goes into each hit. As this is putting only, many of
the courses are very complex and offer lots of challenge. As golf games go, it's
not all that bad and is a decent way to spend some time. I don't see this one
offering too much trouble as a download, and the lack of a two-player game is
questionable. Games like this work quite well online, and Putter Golf would
probably have run pretty smoothly, since lag would have essentially been a non-
factor here. Question: Is this title related to the Game Gear Putt & Putter Golf?

Once available only in Japan for early online gamers, Pyramid Magic is now here for

Pharoah's tomb by collecting keys, breaking barriers and solving devious puzzles.
But beware...rooms get increasingly more dangerous as you descend into the cursed
pyramid!

After beating the odds and finding a way out of the pyramid, the archaeologist is

Platform: Sega NET

Release Year: 1991
Developer: SEGA

Players: 1
_________________________
The archaeologist from the first two Pyramid Magic games is back on the job...but
this time, he's brought along a jug of water to quench his thirst as he explores
each room in the Pharaoh's long-abandoned tomb. Can he escape the pyramid with both
its glittering treasures and the water that keeps him clinging to life?
Like the previous games in the series, the object of Pyramid Magic III is to
collect a series of keys that force open the barrier blocking the exit. These keys
can be found by kicking open wooden boxes and treasure chests. However, the
archaeologist won't be allowed to walk through the exit empty-handed! The large
stone pillar will continue to block his path to the next stage until he carries the
water jug through it.

_________________________
Fans of Solomon's Key would like Pyramid Magic. It sports the same "find the key
and leave" gameplay that made Tecmo's classic so addictive. It's also as bare bones
as can be. The plot is a single screen long (and that presumably includes gameplay
instructions as well), but once you begin playing, no help is needed. Use rocks to
get over tall obstacles and to hunch down low enough to pass through small spaces,
and jump on the two chests to gather the colored keys needed to access the final
exit talisman. There's a ton of levels, and though your bonus is time-based,
there's no limit. One word of caution though: there's only a single way out of each
room, and you have to be very careful about which rocks you decide to break. Simple
yet addictive fun.

Sonic Eraser
Original title: Sonic Eraser
Platform: Sega NET
Controller: Gamepad
Genre: Puzzle
Gametype: Undefined
Release Year: 2004
Translated by: D
Version: 1.0
_________________________
Sonic Eraser was a puzzle game that was available to owners of the Sega Meganet, a
modem for the Sega Mega Drive in Japan. While it is technically a title in the
Sonic the Hedgehog series, other than his sprite, there is little that relates the
game with the rest of the franchise.
Since the Meganet modem never achieved worldwide availability, Sonic Eraser became
a "lost" Sonic game, until February 2004, when research site Sonic CulT found a
copy of the ROM image through Sega's Japan-only download service.
In the versus mode, when a player gets a combination of three consecutive lineups
of pieces, that player's Sonic attacks the other player's Sonic. The other player
momentarily loses control of his pieces.
The game is on Sega's B-Club download service.
Gameplay:
The game offers 4 unique modes of gameplay.
- Round Mode: This is sort of a puzzle mode consisting of 10 stages (09). Each
stage has a bunch of whirlybob ring shapes interspersed with other normal shapes.
Just like the other shapes, the whirlybobs disappear when paired. The object is to
clear them all from the play field by eliminating the shapes between them. The time
limit is three minutes for each round.
- Normal Mode: This is just the standard low-pressure game. Play for points as
long as you like. The better the player performs, the higher his or her level will
rise. As the player climbs the ladder, the speed at which clusters fall increases.
- Doubt Mode: The rules are normal except that white squares will never fall.
Instead, a single shape from almost every cluster will turn into a white square
when it hits the ground.
- Block Mode: This mode has clusters stand on-end, allowing for massive chain
reactions.
This is one of many Genesis games that were recently released for online play only
in Japan by Sega using their online buy and play Emulator service; this game, among
others, was recently dumped by Sonic Cult. Surprisingly, this isn't a Columns or
Puyo Puyo clone! You earn points by joining two tiles that have the same design.
And you move them around using the pad and the buttons. And that's it. There isn't
much in the game department.
Except that you get to play as Sonic, against Sonic! Isn't that neat?! I know, it
isn't. Oh, and most of the music really sucks. At least the game includes some
instructions? if you can read Japanese?
Well, D did a great job on this translation? there wasn't much to do anyway, just
the instructions that appear in the game before starting a match. At least they
mamage to make the game much more entertaining. By a bit.
