The Sega Genesis Challenge Returns!!!

After a long hiatus, The Alfred Effect has relaunched and with it comes The Sega Genesis Challenge. I've posted the first two games of the series below and will be following it up with more of the classic episodes every couple of days. All of this is leading up to a brand new start to the series in January 2019 with the first new gameplay video and write-up since 2012!

I'd love to do one but I don't have a copy yet. :( Will gladly take one as a donation if you want to contribute to the project. ;)

Hey, I would love nothing more than to do one. I just don't have a copy of the game and haven't been able to find one for a price I'm willing to pay. But trust me, it is on my wanted list:-"

True, but I've made it a point to only do reviews for games that I actually own. It wouldn't be the same to me if I just used burned cd's and emulators.

The store you went to has a much better Genesis selection than any places I ever visit. All I find are Sonic games, Mortal Kombat and sports titles. Constantly.

Outrun 2019  =D&gt;  Not sure why, but that's one of my most favorite Genesis games!

Bio Hazard Battle for me. That game is top notch.

finerion

I couldn't quite get the hang of Outrun, but I really did enjoy Bio-Hazard Battle. Some pretty solid shooting there.

I've added links for Crue Ball and Twin Cobra. Motley Crue themed pinball and some classic shmup action. What can go wrong? :)

Go back, play it some more, and get the hang of it.  One of the all-time greats right there, you must appreciate it!

Oh I definitely enjoy the original Outrun. Just something about Outrun 2019 just didn't seem to play as well though. Can't quite put my finger on it.
