I never owned a Sega Genesis growing up, but I remember TV commercials about Vector Man – and it made me want to get a Genesis just for the game! The graphics were amazing, the soundtrack was thumping, and the gameplay looked fun! I was lucky enough to play the game while my family was… Read More Genesis Review – Vector Man
When I got back into retro games a couple years ago, I was a big fan of Super Ghouls and Ghosts – it was an amazing puzzle platformer that looked fantastic on the SNES. What I didn’t realize is that the series comes from the arcades, and that there existed another 16-bit game on the… Read More Genesis Review – Ghouls and Ghosts

When I got my Dreamcast back in high school (through a trade), I got a couple games with the system including Soul Caliber, Sonic Adventure, and Grandia 2.
