Genesis-A-Day: World Heroes

Upon finding a magic lamp, Alex rubs out a genie. Obviously, Alex wishes for a ton of genesis games. In this feature, Alex documents the results of that wish.

Time played: 3 minutes.

Matches won: enough.

Every time I see that i have chosen a fighter for the Game-A-Day section, I get really excited.  I like unique fighting games, and I wish I could play Bio F.R.E.A.K.S for Game-A-Day because that game is just so freaking cool, at least in my memories.  So I was excited for world heroes, and for the screen you see to the right.  But this game can't get any more generic or less technical.  It would have been more fun if they took Battletoads and made is versus.  I realize why i shouldn't get excited about fighting games I've never heard of because that simply means they are bad and not worth hearing about.  This game isn't an exception.  DERRRRRP!

Genesis-A-Day: Revolution-X

Notice that it says "CD disc"

Time played: 4 minutes.

CDs Shot: 23.

Back before you were playing Aerosmith songs on your plastic instruments like idiots, Aerosmith was super hardcore by appearing in a little classic known as Revolution-X.  The arcade shooter, and by shooter i mean 2 machine guns attached to the cabinet,  was flawfully ported to the Genesis back in the day.  I owned Revolution-X on Genesis and I loved it.  The game is super shitty, and your health is just slowly depleted as enemies shoot you, with no real indication that you are getting hurt.

There is a lot to be liked behind the terrible gameplay and controlling a light gun style game with the dpad.  The whole idea about rock rebelling against an oppressive military government using machine guns and exploding CDs (because CDs are crazy new future technology) is hilariously amazing.  And it could only be led by the most hardcore anti establishment band Aerosmith!  I do really enjoy shooting all sorts of crazy stuff in the background to get upgraded weapons and more CDs, also the multi-part vehicles are great.  I wish more light gun games had you shooting cats walking on fences.

Genesis-A-Day: Super Skidmarks

Time played: 1 minutes.

Resemblance to Super Off-Road: 100%

Every played Super Off Road?  This game is that game. Yeah.

Okay okay.  I'm sorry for this lame post, but this episode of South Park I'm watching is about Facebook is so bad it's distracting.

Genesis-A-Day: Air Diver

Time played:2 minutes.

Planes shot down: 5.

While normally I would write how shitty this game is.  I think I can see where it would appeal to a young me.  The cockpit of this plane looks cool.  And there's a great boot up sequence where you cockpit closes right before you take off.  This plays like an After Burner clone, but I think the cockpit gives it a more exciting feel.  Also I like that planes can actually come from behind you, rather than always from the front.  You can't actually turn around, so you just have to dodge around like an idiot till they just as stupidly fly by so you can shoot them.   I'm still impressed by how cool the cockpit is, even though it takes up half the screen the entire time.  Wait... why is this game called Air Diver, that doesn't make sense.

Genesis-a-Day: James Bond The Dual

Time played: 2 minutes.

Time unfairly shot: Every time.

I've been shot... AGAIN!

I actually selected this game because I thought it said James Pond, I really wanted to play those games. Don't let this game fool you.  While it initially seems interesting that enemies die in one hit and when you get shot, there's a neat animation that makes it look like you really got hurt, this game sucks big time.  Every enemy you simply duck and shoot to defeat.  Except when an enemy isn't on even footing due to stairs and or a ladder, expect to get shot before you get a chance to shoot back, Or get knocked off a ledge and die.  Oh also, don't be confused, I thought the blond woman x2 was the number of lives i had, turns out I needed to save them.  This game is as disappointing as every James Bond game except Goldeneye.

Genesi-A-Day: Afterburner 2

This is the best thing you'll see

Time played: 4 minutes.

Barrel Rolls: 3

Isn't Afterburner like a "classic" game that people love?  This game sucks.  I can't even tell where I'm shooting.  How do missile locks even work? .  Flying plans in 3D was not meant for these classic consoles, and this is proof.  The only remarkable thing about this game is the idea that it's fun to fly a fighter jet, and it sorta looks cool when my plane gets hit by a missile and blows up.  All you do is shoot plans in this game, this post has more content than Afterburner 2.
