Mega Drive
Sports
Tidy little retro racer covering the formula one world circuit tour with split screen two player mode and some tight corners. Human were the 16Bit masters of the F1 season – an ever present on the winners podium.
Mega Drive
Shoot Em Up
Gritty World War styled horizontally scrolling shooter that positively zips along besides the parallax skies, cliffs or well drawn clouds. As well as the gunning ability of the plane, budding pilots will have their bombing skills tested too as enemy boats zip along the ocean to try and get a pot shot in. Wears its old school credentials proudly and few would be able to roll up to reveal a more impressive tattoo at the retro bar of gaming.
Mega Drive
Action
Full of arcade action in the Ikari Warriors mould, Gain Ground has a good half century of well varied levels taking you through the ages keeping it visually fresh. Plays like a dream in two player with the goal being either to take everyone out in the time constrained levels or to get to the exit. Rescuing a hostage adds another member to your merry band to choose from with often an ace arsenal that goes with them. A real unheralded treat for Sega action fans.

Mega Drive
Action
Tongue in cheek take on a battle game with close hand combat and much more hedged on the action side of the genre. Plays like a large sprite version of Cannon Fodder with Metal Slug like combatants on screen players steam into enemy, or at last to a safe spot on screen. Tactics are required, but the game eases one in gently until you find yourself grenade pin in teeth, machine gun in arm.
Mega Drive
Sports
A very ambitious project with the original being entirely polygon based on a platform requiring programmer imagination to squeeze good 3D out of the hardware. Plenty of nostalgia for fans of the series and Atari with rogue developer Tengen on programming duties.

Mega Drive
Shoot Em Up
Side scrolling shooter from old hands Masaya taking you on a journey through dense jungle and Egyptian inspired artefacts with only a very hand multi directional gun for company. The multi directional shooting capabilities are very useful on latter stages as Masaya ensures you fully appreciate its versatility and it adds much to the shmup formula. Worthy of a place in the Mega Drive shooter hall of fame.
Mega Drive
Simulation
A board game from Japan brought to life by the intriguing characters featured within that ensure a lively pace.
Mega Drive
A Bit Special
Twenty party games all of a rather bizarre nature in this sequel to Tanto R. The mini games involve jumping over frogs, spotting the differences, catching rice balls as they fall on a kebab stick even a recall test where the silhouette of the young wife appeared last in the apartment window… A popular Sega title in Japan.
Mega Drive
Sports
Arcade style play mechanics with Japanese domestic teams, cat like keepers and prima donna strikers. Simple to pick up and play, but very enjoyable as a result.
Mega Drive
Sports
Football blast from the J League’s hey day playing a nice, arcadey kick about. A real laugh with four players using the multitap, but arguments may ensue over who gets to be Gary’s Grampus.
Mega Drive
Sports
Making good use of the official J League license with easy to pick up and play arcade style mechanics. This style of football game is no longer made, but there is plenty to celebrate in the free flowing football style and quick pacing.

Mega Drive
Sports
Instantly recognisable due to using commentators to add that extra bit of Super Bowl razzmatazz to the presentation. Plenty of different moves to select for the offence mainly variations on the theme of short pass, long pass, battling through the middle or nipping round the outside. Became a real MD classic, especially in North America.
Mega Drive
Sports
Joe Montana was quite a player and few will have missed his charming Mega Drive title which was as popular as Genesis back in the 90s. Simple interface and good action with fun two player bouts make this the football game to recommend to fans of any shape of ball.

Does what it says on the box in setting up two giants of the NBA against each other to try and rack up a cricket score. Should be played in the authentic Air Jordan boots for the real deal and to put a spring in your attempts from downtown to bring a tasty ripple of applause from the crowd.
Mega Drive
Platform
A projectile spitting and fire breathing ape makes for a versatile character to take on the imaginative platforms and bosses inspired by Buddhism and certainly harder to credit end of level adversaries. A very fine MD platformer and well sort on the system. Also known as Toki.
Mega Drive
Action
Big box EA special with fast-paced run and gun platform action and stonking tracks that grind out every iota of resonance from the chip tunes. Known in the West as Fatal Rewind.
Mega Drive
Sports
Conversion of the popular Japan exclusive, early nineties coin op in which players get to focus on pitching and batting the baseball and the fielding is kindly taken care of by the rest of the CPU controlled team.
Mega Drive
Puzzle
Simple tile shuffling to clear the screen as the stack increases slowly to test your thinking and play screen. Each line cleared drops a bomb that clears tiles on the other side of the screen to reveal pixelated lady friends.
Mega Drive
Sports
Nice into the screen quad bike race game from coin op veterans Namcot. Good mud effects and variation in height of terrain to keep players glued to their bikes. And quite a selection of bikes to choose from such as Red Devil, Green Monster and Blue Thunder. Also known as Quad Challenge.
Mega Drive
Simulation
Players build up their civilisation encouraging them to construct dwellings and mine resources, before raising an army to battle other countries. Known as Tyrants in the US.
Mega Drive
Shooter
The sheer pace of Mercs makes for a fun run and gun where the run is at a good pace. As such the players has to think fast in this old school combat game and be wary of dynamite instead of power ups. Thankfully there are plenty of weapon upgrades on offer. Known in Japan as Senjou no Ookami II.
Mega Drive
Platform
Busts out the familiar Moon Dance as a special move along with plenty of checks to the family treasure to superb chip versions of all the classics. It can get a little surreal at times, but perhaps thats a fitting tribute to Mr Jackson and his flamboyant character. Just wait until bubbles pops up.
Mega Drive
Sports
Plenty of thrills and oil spills in this overhead F1 treat backed by legendary racer Nakajima. Rev heads will rejoice at the fast paced action.
Mega Drive
Sports
Vintage digitised graphics combined with uber speedy gameplay and a generous helping of popcorny, all American razzmatazz. Players are very recognisable and there are plenty in there from the real UK NBA boom time. The graphical flame effects and the like add much to the high five good time feel of a very fine sports representation.
