"An exceptional Treasure run-and-gun with two heroes and combinable weapons. Gorgeous, creative, wildly inventive throughout, an absolute peak of the console."
"A peak of vertical shooting by Compile, with exceptional smoothness and design. MUSHA remains one of the prettiest and most playable shmups on the console."
"The Mega Drive adaptation of Disney's Lion King, gorgeous and demanding. Magical animation, fearsome difficulty, a controversial yet memorable classic."
"Shinobi III Return of the Ninja Master continues the Sega trilogy on Mega Drive with ninja Joe Musashi in spectacular combat. The conversion keeps the fluid animation and ninjutsu system with varied levels and memorable bosses. Excellent for 16 bit action fans, Sega ninja genre classic."
"Sonic & Knuckles, the lock-on expansion adding Knuckles to previous Sonic games. Gorgeous, essential, one of the best 16-bit Sonics with its unique lock-on."
"Virgin's Aladdin remains a visual peak on the Mega Drive, with animation worthy of a Disney cartoon. Short, but its smoothness and charm hold up perfectly."
