James Pond (Electronic Arts) (Sega Mega Drive (EU Version))

This is different, unusual and amusing, but ultimate lacks the depth (ho ho) to make it to the big time.

After Burner (Sega) (Sega Mega Drive (EU Version))

Airborne excitement which has yet to be successfully replicated on any other console.

Sword Of Vermilion (Sega) (Sega Mega Drive (EU Version))

By far the best RPG on the Megadrive.

Darius II (Taito) (Sega Mega Drive (JP Version))

An excellent shoot-'em-up with plenty of lasting appeal - check it out if you haven't already had your fill of blasting games.

Midnight Resistance (Data East) (Sega Genesis)

An excellent conversion... The blasting action is addictive from the word go and fabulous, pulse-racing soundtracks accompany the action perfectly!

Iron Sword (Acclaim) (Nintendo (US Version))

A fun game that will appeal to platform fans.

Days Of Thunder (Mindscape International Inc) (Nintendo (US Version))

An awful game that falls down on all counts. If you want high speed thrills and spills, steer clear of this.

Burai Fighter (Taxan) (Nintendo (US Version))

An enjoyable and challenging shoot-'em-up which should be checked out by Nintendo blasting fans.

World Class Leader Board (Sega) (Sega Master System (EU Version))

The best Sega golfing game by far, and one to snap up as soon as possible!

Galaxy Force (Sega) (Sega Master System (EU Version))

Galaxy Force is the finest 3D shoot 'em up on the Sega and should be checked out immediately.

Joe Montana's Football (Sega) (Sega Master System (EU Version))

Not exactly an exciting sports slm, and overshadowed by the older, but far superior American Pro Football.

Turtles: Foot Clan (Ultra Games) (Game Boy)

It's really hard to believe that another good Turtle game has been released, but Nintendo once again rise about the hype to give up a great slash-'em-up.

Chessmaster (Hi Tech Expressions) (Game Boy)

This works so well on the Gameboy, and the graphics are clear and not confusing.

Pilot Wings (Nintendo) (Super Nintendo (US Version))

Wow! If you want to show people just how good the Super Famicom is, make sure you get this... 3D graphics, the like of which you've never seen before and a highly original, stunning game too!
