A decent title 20 years ago.... but the same can't be said today. 0
"WISE FWOM YOUR GWAVE!"PLOT:Zeus's daughter, Athena, has been captured by the evil demon god Neff. To save the goddess, Zeus resurrects a 'Centurion' (a high-ranking warrior) to do the job for him............If Zeus is so powerful that he can resurrect warriors from the dead, then why can't he fight Neff himself? It doesn't make sense. Anyways.....GAMEPLAY:Players take control of the resurrected centurion through five levels in this side-scrolling beat 'em up.To progress through the game, you'll...

Beastly 0
This was pretty fun on the Sega Genesis, but I'm sure I'm missing out by not having played the arcade version. Though, in retrospect, I probably saved myself about eighty pounds' worth of quarters. Did you know this game is HARD?! Maybe I'm just a wuss, but by the time I get to that level where the yellow guys with the pointy scrotum-stingers are running full-tilt towards me, I'm panicking and praying for the quick release of death. Never beaten it, probably never will, but won't stop trying! I'...

Another one we're forced to hail as a classic. 0
Zeus's daughter has been kidnapped by a demon from hades named Neff. To see to it that she's rescued, Zeus resurrects two fallen warriors to venture into Neff's realm.

I mean, even after all these years, I'm still unsure on how it was able to gain such recognition. My only guess can be that sense of nostalgia for long...

Altered Beast is Underrated 0
It may be a great challenge, but it's worth the playtime. Anyone who can beat Altered best is a real gamer. Although Altered Beast may just be your average beat' em up on the outside, Altered Beast's short gameplay takes a long time to get through because of the true challenge. That's the cool thing about the game: it's notorious for being one of the most difficult games ever made, and it did get the Genesis some success. Altered Beast is another Sega classic. It's got multiple levels that seems...

Forgotten Old School 0
One day I saw this game on Xbox Live Marketplace, the next day my friend told me to buy it. It was only 400 points so I figured what was there to lose. I was treated to one of the most old school and pure... obsolete... experiences. The game feels OLD. The game looks OLD. The game sounds OLD. It's a hilarious experience but the game isn't good. At its time I'm sure it was pretty fun, the 6 year old me would've loved it! However 22 year old me was not as impressed. What I loved most though was th...
