ToeJam And Earl In Panic On Funkotron (Sega) (Sega Mega Drive (EU Version))

The wittiest game on the Megadrive and breathes fresh life into the platform game genre.

F-117 Night Storm (Electronic Arts) (Sega Mega Drive (EU Version))

Some meaty nuggets of air combat action, and a few good game ideas, but the EA flying team needs a major overhaul, not just an annual update.

Lotus II (Electronic Arts) (Sega Mega Drive (EU Version))

A distinctly underwhelming sequel. Technically, it's not too bad, but the soul of this beast of a car is missing.

The Lost Vikings (Virgin) (Sega Mega Drive (EU Version))

A lorra levels, a lorra puzzles, a lorra swordplay and a lorra, lorra fun.

Blades Of Vengeance (Electronic Arts) (Sega Mega Drive (EU Version))

A poor hack and slash, let down by its lack of original ideas and attention to gameplay.

Masters Of Combat (Sega) (Sega Master System (EU Version))

A great Street Fighter-style clone, and a superlative addition to the Master System's one-on-one stakes.

Tom Mason's Dinosaurs For Hire (Sega) (Sega Genesis)

Some great ideas fall foul of fossilised game design and frustrating gameplay.

Robocop Versus The Terminator (Virgin) (Sega Master System (EU Version))

A brilliant standard of programming and a great homage to the characters. And an utterly addictive platform shoot-'em-up from the word go.

Puggsy (Psygnosis) (Sega CD (US Version))

One of the few true arcade adventures for the Megadrive, and even rarer on Mega-CD. However, there is no distinct difference between the two platforms.

Dragon's Revenge (Tengen) (Sega Mega Drive (EU Version))

A disappointment when you think that prequel Dragon's Fury is two years older, and is much better. Bigger is not always better.

Zool (Gremlin) (Sega Mega Drive (EU Version))

This might have impressed Amiga owners, but most Megadrive players will probably already have something in their game rack which is practically the same, only a lot better!

Joe Montana's NFL Football (Sega) (Sega CD (US Version))

A decent enough simulation of American Football, made more noticeable by its fancy gimmicks.

Aero The Acro-bat (Sunsoft) (Sega Mega Drive (EU Version))

A great new platform hero for the Megadrive who guarantees a few surprises.

Desert Speedtrap Starring Road Runner And Wile E. Coyote (Probe) (Sega Game Gear (EU Version))

Another platform game for the handheld, but Road Runner is no waste of anyone's time.

Robocop 3 (Acclaim) (Sega Mega Drive (EU Version))

An insipid shooter with a ridiculous level of difficulty. Let's hope the movie isn't as feeble as this game!

T2: Judgement Day (Acclaim) (Sega Mega Drive (EU Version))

An outright disaster for Acclaim who ought to bin this title before anyone notices it exists.

Pirates' Gold (Microprose) (Sega Genesis)

A curious game that rates highly for its original and involving gameplay, even if action is not so important.

Dune II: Battle For Arrakis (Virgin) (Sega Mega Drive (EU Version))

A definitive mind game for the Megadrive... This game is going to win awards.

Hook (Sony Imagesoft) (Sega Mega Drive (EU Version))

Another mediocre film becomes a mediocre platform game. It's not terrible, but it's not loaded with fun either.
