Streets of rage 2 (Megadrive)
The 'Ragers', as I have just now decided to call them, are back! With some new friends designed specifically to reflect popular trends of the early 90s, such as rollerblading.
Sol-feace (Mega cd)
Cartridges are on the way out, the compact disc is where it's at, and when I got a Mega CD even an old side-scrolling shooter that came free as a pack-in game blew my mind. It was a different time...
night trap (Mega cd)
The US Congress really didn't like this game, or did they? Either way, they did more for its sales figures than any advertising campaign ever could. But what was so shocking about it?
on the ball (pc)
The PC wasn't just a games machine. You could do accounting and and work stuff on it too. I mean, you didn't, but you COULD. So it was worth the cool grand you spent on a Pentium, and the hours you wasted managing your favourite team in On The Ball.
day of the tentacle (PC)
The point and click adventure game was thriving in 1993, and Day of the Tentacle is still regarded as a high water mark in the genre. It certainly set my expectations far too high for what was to come later.
