  1. Episode 48 : Wonder Boy III The Dragon’s Trap (Master System)

    30 mei 2017 · 1 uur 10 min

    Afspelen
    (Edit 1/3/23 - This episode stopped loading, so we re-uploaded this one. Hope it's not showing up as new in your feeds-- if so, sorry!) Lees meer

    This episode we take a look not only at the Sega Master System game Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap, but also discuss the recent remake for modern consoles. How does the remake hold up, but more importantly, is this the sort of game that needed a remake at all?

    We also answer a listener question, about if we have considered comparing all ports of a specific game or games, and we somehow talk about the Virtual Boy instead.

  2. Episode 47 : Vectorman (Genesis)

    6 mei 2017 · 1 uur 4 min

    Afspelen
    The three of us take a look at a 1995 Sega Genesis game we had never played before, Vectorman! Included on several collections of Genesis games, most notably the Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection, Vectorman seemed to be Sega's answer to Donkey Kong Country-- but how does it hold up in 2017? Lees meer

    Want to skip right to Vectorman? Start listening at 12:14!

    Next episode we hit another time-relevant favorite of Jeremy P's with Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap for the Sega Master System.

  3. Episode 46 : Disney Afternoon Classics (NES)

    25 april 2017 · 1 uur 6 min

    Afspelen
    Something different this time, a modern retro compilation episode! Billy returns to discuss one of the best compilations of classic NES titles -- the Disney Afternoon Collection! We cover all 5 titles, Ducktales and Ducktales 2, Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers 1 & 2, Talespin, and Darkwing Duck. Have these titles aged well? Does this collection provide enough to make it worth grabbing? (Spoilers: the answer to both is a resounding yes!) Lees meer

    Also, as Billy is here, Jeremy and Billy discuss their new Switches and what they think of them, and we all mourn the end of the NES Classic.

    Next episode : Back to basics, one classic console game discussed -- Vectorman for the Genesis

  4. Episode 45 : Skyblazer (SNES)

    7 april 2017 · 1 uur 8 min

    Afspelen
    Jeremy P and Jeremy take on a SNES game that both of us thought was another game when we heard it. Skyblazer for the SNES is actually NOT Soulblazer, and is instead an amalgamation of many SNES action adventure games we had played previously. Lees meer

    Does this make this game notably amazing like chocolate and peanut butter, or not as great like pickles and caramel. I don't know what that means, but clearly I need to eat.

    Billy should return next week, when we celebrate the release of the Disney Afternoon Classics collection, as we play ALL 6 games in their original NES format.

  5. Episode 44 : Military Madness (TurboGrafx-16)

    20 maart 2017 · 50 min

    Afspelen
    Billy is MIA still, but the show must go on -- and so the Jeremys cover a strategy classic for the TurboGrafx, Military Madness. Lees meer

    Also -- Jeremy P talks a little Zelda and the Switch release, and both of us gush over the recently announced "Disney Afternoon Classics" collection hitting in less than a month, which is probably the best gaming announcement of 2017.

  6. Episode 43 : Double Dragon 1 - 4 (NES and PS4/PC)

    28 februari 2017 · 1 uur 7 min

    Afspelen
    This week Billy couldn't join us, so we have guest host Dave Boyce of Broken Glasses Gaming, the Clouded Judgement Podcast, and Preternia.com here to help us cover a classic series with a modern sequel -- Double Dragon! Lees meer

    We walk through our thoughts on the first 3 games on the NES, and then dive into the new sequel Double Dragon 4 for the PS4 and PC, a brand new game that looks exactly like it's 8 bit brethren.

    Thanks again Dave!

    Next time : Billy returns to help us take on another attempt by Jeremy P to force the Turbografx-16 on everyone, with Military Madness.

  7. 300 YouTube Subscriber Thank You!

    Afspelen
    No new show this week, due to some scheduling conflicts (and that we're talking about 4+ games for our next show), we've had to push off the Double Dragon show to next Tuesday. However, we did want to take time to personally thank everyone for listening as we hit our 300 subscriber mark on YouTube! Lees meer

    See you in a week for Double Dragon 1-4, and thank you for listening and watching over the last two years!

  8. Episode 42 : Sonic Spinball (Genesis)

    8 februari 2017 · 44 min

    Afspelen
    Join the Retrovaniacs this week as we visit the world of video pinball the first time, with Sonic Spinball for the Sega Genesis. Lees meer

    Also discussed is a listener question about what started us all in gaming, which isn't as depressing an answer as you'd believe.

    Next week : It's the return of Bimmy and Jimmy-- in 2017?

  9. Episode 41 : Metal Slug (NeoGeo)

    24 januari 2017 · 1 uur 14 min

    Afspelen
    We take our first look at the NeoGeo system, with a series of games that will definitely challenge your run-and-gun shooter skillls, Metal Slug 1-6 (via the Metal Slug Anthology). Before we dig into what Billy has aptly described as "cartoon Contra", we reflect on the NeoGeo itself, and why none of us have ever owned one. Lees meer

    We also answer a listener question : What same-room multiplayer games would cause the most confrontation, and what were you good at?

    Check out our Twitter feed, @retrovaniacs, where we'll put some links to videos of Jeremy P playing Metal Slug!

    Next week, we try out some pinball. Or spinball. Or something.

  10. Episode 40: Predator (NES)

    10 januari 2017 · 1 uur 12 min

    Afspelen
    This week we review a game based on one of the best action movies of all time, Predator for the NES. Will this game be nearly as good as the movie it's based on? Lees meer

    Also we look back at 2016, listing our favorite games and biggest disappointments, and try not to just cry about the Wii U.

    Next up : We look at a run-and-gun shooter on the NEO GEO...

  11. Episode 39 : Batman Returns (Multiplatform)

    24 december 2016 · 1 uur 10 min

    Afspelen
    It's a very Retrovaniacs Christmas, with a loosely holiday themed game -- Batman Returns for mainly the SNES and Sega Genesis! Watch the movie, it happens around Christmas. Also there is a level with Christmas presents in the background. Lees meer

    Look, we're clearly stretching here to tie this one to the holidays, but we do have a Christmas present related listener question, which brings us back to the Christmas mornings of yesteryears.

    Next episode : If it bleeds, we can kill it...

  12. Episode 38: Tomba! (Playstation)

    16 december 2016 · 59 min

    Afspelen
    Doing something a little different this week -- before Retrovaniacs the podcast, there was just Retrovania.net, a site where we posted video reviews and gaming articles. One of those reviews was on Tomba! for the Sony Playstation. This review received the most criticism from folks who didn't agree with Jeremy Gregory -- including Jeremy Parmentier. One Jeremy loves it, one Jeremy hates it, and Billy Holiday is here playing for the first time. Lees meer

    We're taking a second look at Tomba!, an interesting 2D/3D questing platformer for the Sony Playstation, and then we spend FAR too long discussing our thoughts on the first 10-20 hours of Final Fantasy XV! So -- if you have no interest in hearing about FFXV, you can skip the last half of the show!

  13. Episode 37 : Golgo 13 (NES)

    27 november 2016 · 1 uur 4 min

    Afspelen
    We take on yet another listener request, Golgo 13 : Top Secret Mission for the Nintendo Entertainment System. A game that combines adventure sections with several other gameplay styles, that spans the globe is certainly an ambitious game to design -- but is it any fun? Lees meer

    We also discuss classic games we love that we can also see why if we had never played them beforet today may not be as highly regarded.

    Next week : Tomba! for the Playstation

  14. Episode 36 : Kid Icarus (NES)

    11 november 2016 · 1 uur 32 min

    Afspelen
    Billy returns to Retrovanicas this week! Just in time for the release of the NES Classic, we're taking a lengthy look at Kid Icarus, a classic that is also a featured game on the Classic! We dig deep into this game which Jeremy P has declared is "his favorite NES game of all time"-- and both Billy and Jeremy hadn't played it before, so this one could cause some fist fights. Lees meer

    We also kick the show off with a special announcement of sorts, and finally Billy gets to tell us all what he thinks of the switch!

    Next episode we take on another listener request - Golgo 13!

  15. Episode 35 : 16-Bit Castlevanias (Halloween 2016)

    28 oktober 2016 · 1 uur 14 min

    Afspelen
    We may be short one Billy Holiday this week, but don't be scared -- he will be back next episode! This week, however, the Jeremys take you on a journey spanning 4 years and 3 consoles to discuss Super Castlevania 4 (SNES), Castlevania Bloodlines (Genesis), Dracula X (SNES), and the japanese only Castlevania : Rondo of Blood (PC Engine CD)! Lees meer

    Next week, we return to our usual format and take on Kid Icarus for the NES!

    Happy Halloween!

  16. Episode 34: Monster Party (NES)

    7 oktober 2016 · 1 uur 12 min

    Afspelen
    We kick off October's Halloween Retroween right, with an episode about one of the strangest games on the NES, Monster Party! We know we said we were doing Kid Icarus, but that's not going to happen until November now -- we've got to get in the Halloween spirit! Lees meer

    Also, Jeremy P really thinks he's getting a PS4, so he has some questions regarding the newly released Slim and the soon-to-be-released Pro.

    Retroween continues next time in Episode 35, a 16-bit Castlevania extravaganza!

  17. Episode 33 : Air Zonk (TurboGrafx-16)

    18 september 2016 · 1 uur

    Afspelen
    Another listener request this time, we're looking at Air Zonk for the Turbografx-16, a branch of the Bonk family of games that takes the franchise from side-scrolling action game to shooter. Could this finally be a TG-16 game that Billy and Jeremy don't hate? Lees meer

    Also discussed, notable game save losses that brought the three of us back from a gaming high to yet another depressing low.

    Next week : Jeremy and Billy finally play a guaranteed NES classic they somehow have missed over the past 30 years.

  18. Episode 32 : Robocop Vs Terminator (Genesis)

    1 september 2016 · 1 uur 5 min

    Afspelen
    Robocop fights Terminators. We shouldn't have to say any more to sell you on this, but that would be a 5 second podcast, so instead we say a lot more about the game including: a comparison between this and the Super Nintendo version of this game, a discussion of time travel mechanics, and thankfully completely ignore the Terminator movies after T2. Lees meer

    We also tackle a listener question regarding what game we would play if we knew this was our last few minutes alive!

    In an unprecedented display of planning, we have our next two games already chosen! First up is Air Zonk for the TurboGrafx-16 (listener request), and then we take on one of Jeremy P's favorite games of all time, Kid Icarus for the NES.

  19. Episode 31 : Super Mario RPG (SNES)

    17 augustus 2016 · 1 uur 33 min

    Afspelen
    Join the Retrovaniacs as we take on our first RPG - Super Mario RPG: Secret of the Seven Stars! An interesting effort by Square and Nintendo from 1996, but does it hold up today? Does anyone fondly remember Mallow? Why isn't Geno more popular? This and many other questions will arise as we take on the longest game we've looked at to date! Lees meer

    Also discussed, game controllers we loved or always wanted!

    Next episode will be Robocop vs The Terminator for the Sega Genesis!

  20. Episode 30 : Kendo Rage (SNES)

    3 augustus 2016 · 1 uur 4 min

    Afspelen
    This week we take on our 2nd listener request for the podcast, Kendo Rage for the SNES! Listen as we fumble our way through a 2d action/platformer with interesting bosses, and ... well, maybe that's the high note. Lots of little audio problems were dealt with to record this episode, so as bad as parts of it may sound, it was WAY worse before Jeremy P spent an evening or two working on it. Lees meer

    Also discussed, a listener question regarding emulation versus units like the upcoming mini NES and the Atari/Intellivision/Colecovision Flashback units, and why grown men are excited about 30 old NES games coming out again in November.

    Get ready, because next week we take on the RPG genre for the first time with Super Mario RPG for the Super Nintendo!

  21. Episode 29 : Goonies 2 (NES)

    21 juli 2016 · 1 uur

    Afspelen
    Brush up on your Truffle Shuffle and make sure to have a Baby Ruth on hand, because this week we're delving into one of Jeremy P's favorite games, Goonies 2 on the NES. Lees meer

    We also discuss the upcoming NES Mini, which is probably going to be way bigger than the Wii U and NX, despite being based on technology from 30+ years ago!

    Next week, we tackle another listener request, a game we know nothing about -- Kendo Rage for the SNES.

    Make sure to follow us on Twitter (@retrovaniacs) to get some extras like snapshots of the Official Nintendo Player's Guide entry for this game, Vines, and random feedback about each episode and videos on Retrovania.net.

  22. Episode 28 : Gex (Playstation)

    8 juli 2016 · 1 uur

    Afspelen
    After a week of delay, Retrovaniacs returns for some Tail Time with the original Gex for the Sony Playstation! Lees meer

    Also, a listener calls us out for what appears to be some contradicting thoughts on video game endings, and Billy teases us with a dark secret he will share next episode.

    Next episode, grab your Yo-yo and Spring Shoes, we'll be playing Goonies 2 on the NES!

  23. Episode 27 : Young Merlin (SNES)

    16 juni 2016 · 1 uur 2 min

    Afspelen
    The Retrovaniacs take their first listener request, an action adventure game none of us had heard of before, Young Merlin on the Super Nintendo! Join us as we delve into Merlin's sordid past, and ride more than our fair share of minecarts on the way. Lees meer

    Do you have a request for Retrovaniacs? Let us know on Twitter, @retrovaniacs or via our Facebook page or a well aimed carrier pigeon.

    Next episode, get ready to look everywhere for that remote you misplaced, because we're taking on Gex on the Sony Playstation.

  24. Episode 26 : Fighting Force (Playstation)

    1 juni 2016 · 58 min

    Afspelen
    We kick off year 2 of Retrovaniacs with a bang- or at least a good deal of punches and kicks. This time we look back at Fighting Force for the Sony Playstation, a 3d take on 2d classics of the past like Double Dragon or Streets of Rage. Does it make the transition to 3d smoothly? Listen and find out what we think! Lees meer

    We also take our first listener request for next week's game, and answer a listener question about classic gaming magazines and code books.

    Next week (by request) - Young Merlin for the Super Nintendo!

  25. Episode 25 : Banjo-Kazooie (N64)

    20 mei 2016 · 1 uur 51 min

    Afspelen
    It's our 25th episode, 1-year anniversary supershow! How do we celebrate? Why, by reviewing an old video game! Lees meer

    This week we look back at Banjo-Kazooie, a 3d platformer from the Nintendo 64, one of Jeremy's recommendations, and a probably the most current game we've reviewed, and that still puts it out almost 20 years ago! Does it still hold up today?

    Also we pull back the curtain on ourselves, and how we pick these games, with some listener questions!

    Next week, join us as we start off year 2 of Retrovaniacs with Fighting Force for the Sony Playstation!

  26. Episode 24 : Ghoul Patrol (SNES)

    4 mei 2016 · 56 min

    Afspelen
    We play the lesser known sequel to the classic Zombies Ate My Neighbors this week, Ghoul Patrol for the Super Nintendo. Does it compare to it's younger and more famous brother, or is this the Jermaine Jackson to Zombie's Michael Jackson? Find out what we think! Lees meer

    Also discussed, best and worst classic gaming endings, and Billy has a reveal that will shake the foundations of Retrovaniacs to it's very core!

    Next week it's our 1 year anniversary show, and we take on Banjo-Kazooie for the N64!

    Get prepared to fall from the atmosphere on purpose in this early Playstation entry, Jumping Flash! Will this boxy 3d game age as poorly as other games of the era? Listen to find out what we thought! Lees meer

    We also look back at the Playstation launch and other system launches over the years, and have a Dreamcast support group meeting.

    Next week : Ghoul Patrol (SNES)

  28. Episode 22 : Xmen (Genesis)

    6 april 2016 · 54 min

    Afspelen
    After a week break due to illness and Easter, we return with a new show focused on a non-LJN Xmen game! Lees meer

    We also discuss our time with Miitomo, and talk way, way too much about Tiger Handhelds again.

    Next episode will be Jumping Flash for the Sony Playstation!

  29. Episode 21 : The Guardian Legend (NES)

    16 maart 2016 · 1 uur 5 min

    Afspelen
    Jeremy P's pick this week is a blend of top down space shooter, Zelda-style exploration and RPG, and more than a little puzzling to the rest of the Retrovaniacs team. Lees meer

    We also discuss favorite rentals / purchases that we knew nothing about ahead of time that ended up being long-time favorites.

    Next week : SNIKT! It's X-Men for the Sega Genesis!

  30. Episode 20 : Eternal Champions (Genesis and Sega CD)

  31. Episode 19 : Skullmonkeys (Playstation)

    17 februari 2016 · 55 min

    Afspelen
    A retro review of a game that was retro even when it was new - this week we plugged in our Playstations to talk about the claytastic platformer, Skullmonkeys! Lees meer

    We also discuss the concept of remakes and re-imaginings, and Billy admits he likes a game we were pretty sure nobody liked.

    Next week, get your fighting gloves on, it's Eternal Champions for the Genesis / Sega CD!

  32. Episode 18 : The Adventures of Bayou Billy (NES)

    4 februari 2016 · 1 uur 24 min

    Afspelen
    This week, Jeremy P ruins what would be an otherwise great episode by forcing everyone to play The Adventures of Bayou Billy, in honor of it's recent re-release on the Wii U eShop. How can a game that offers 3 different gaming modes go so horribly wrong? We dive into the swamp of disappointment this week to discuss this Konami misfire. Lees meer

    We also take a look back at our favorite mispronunciations of gaming titles and names, and discuss our favorite codes and secrets with some listener questions!

    Next week game : Skullmonkeys (PS)

  33. Episode 17 : Golden Axe Warrior (Sega Master System)

    20 januari 2016 · 55 min

    Afspelen
    We dive into the late Sega Master System library and unearth quite the diamond, Golden Axe Warrior. Well, it's more like Cubic Zirconia. It looks nice, it might impress someone who has no idea about what they are looking at, and it's clearly a copy of something far more impressive. Honestly, it has a lot more in common with a Nintendo classic than anything else with the Golden Axe name on it. Lees meer

    We also take a listener question this week: What game can you play over and over due to nostalgia that you also can admit is a pretty terrible game?

    Next week, put on your swamp hat, and dust off the NES -- we're heading to the Bayou...

  34. Episode 16 : JJ and Jeff (Turbografx-16)

    6 januari 2016 · 1 uur 6 min

    Afspelen
    We're back from our long one-week unplanned absence to kick off 2016 with a bang! Lees meer

    We're going back to the TG-16 for JJ and Jeff this week-- will this be the game that convinces Jeremy and Billy that they missed out on the Turbografx during the 16 bit era?

    Additionally, we look back at 2015 to discuss our favorite hits and misses of the year, and what we're looking forward to in 2016.

  35. Episode 15 : Mansion of Hidden Souls (Sega CD)

    9 december 2015 · 52 min

    Afspelen
    Here's a game I'm certain most of you haven't played -- Mansion of Hidden Souls for the Sega CD add-on for the Genesis. This is a classic point-and-click adventure title, like Myst, but about butterflies and poorly placed keys. A selection by one Billy Holiday, and an episode not to be missed! Lees meer

    We also answer a listener question : What are our favorite / least favorite snow levels in classic gaming?

    Also, like every show, we reveal next show's topic. Our next show will be around Christmas, so what game do you think we picked?

  36. Episode 14 : Blast Corps (N64)

    26 november 2015 · 55 min

    Afspelen
    It's almost Thanksgiving, and at Retrovaniacs, we didn't want you to think we'd miss out on this opportunity to... ok, this game has nothing to do with Thanksgiving. It's Blast Corps, the first RARE created game for the Nintendo 64, and it's this week's amazing choice for our look back through the annals of gaming. Lees meer

    In honor of Thanksgiving (and the start of the Christmas season), we tell some Black Friday stories and generally feel smug that thanks to the internet, we can all sit in our house on Black Friday eating stuffing and cranberry sandwiches while we buy gifts for relatives we rarely enjoy spending time with.

  37. Episode 13 - Little Nemo the Dream Master (NES)

    11 november 2015 · 51 min

    Afspelen
    This week, we take a look at the NES 1990 classic, Little Nemo the Dream Master. This might be the only game where you feed candy to a bee, but we made no research to back that claim up. Lees meer

    We also answer a listener question about regrettable game sales. Billy uses this time to get teary-eyed about an MC Hammer game.

  38. Episode 12 : The Splatterhouse Series (Turbografx 16 and Genesis)

    28 oktober 2015 · 1 uur 16 min

    Afspelen
    It's the second part of our Halloween extravaganza, and this week we look at not one... but THREE classic video games. First up, we revisit the Turbografx-16 and the original Splatterhouse, in which Rick and Jennifer make the mistake of getting out of the rain at an abandoned mansion. Then we switch to the Sega Genesis for Splatterhouse 2, where Rick returns to save Jennifer (again) with the help of the demon mask. Finally, we dig up the bones of Splatterhouse 3, in which the series tries to do some new things, and the results are less than stellar. Lees meer

    Our listener question for this week is two-fold : What game gave you your first real jump-scare? What game has scared you the most ever? Shockingly, Billy and Jeremy P didn't say General Chaos.

    For more Halloween gaming excitement, don't forget to check out Retrovania.net for the rest of the month!

  39. Episode 11 - Haunting starring Polterguy (Genesis)

    14 oktober 2015 · 58 min

    Afspelen
    It's the start of our first Halloween, and so we focus our eyes on a spoooooooky Genesis classic, Haunting starring Polterguy, the only game I'm aware of where you can possess a couch. Lees meer

    We also have our regular (terrifying!) updates on what we're all playing, and this week's (bloodcurdling?) listener question : "What system did you never have (when it was current) that you really wanted and didn't get?"

    Next week, prepare yourselves for a future Halloween classic episode, where we take on all things Splatterhouse!

  40. Episode 10 - Super Mario Maker (Wii U)

    29 september 2015 · 46 min

    Afspelen
    It's our 10th episode spectacular, and this week we have chosen to slip slightly out of our own guidelines to cover not a true classic game, but a modern game that should appeal to any classic NES fan, Super Mario Maker for the Wii U! It's got all the classic 2D Mario action that you could ever want or imagine, and as such we get to talk about staples of a series we have been playing for 30 years. Lees meer

    Also this week, Jeremy G has an electronic doomsday of sorts, and that leads him down a path that thankfully leads to the Rare Replay collection for the Xbox One!

  41. Episode 9 - Mutant League Football (Genesis)

    16 september 2015 · 43 min

    Afspelen
    Football season is here, and so we celebrate it the only way we know how -- by reviewing Mutant League Football for the Genesis. Lees meer

    We also discuss one of our favorite systems of all time, the Sega Dreamcast, on it's 16th anniversary (of the US release).

  42. Episode 8 - Gargoyle's Quest (Gameboy)

    4 september 2015 · 53 min

    Afspelen
    We visit the original Nintendo handheld with a forgotten Capcom gem, Gargoyle's Quest. Lees meer

    We also answer a listener question, "What is your gaming 'White Whale'?" We also discuss Jeremy Gregory's Witcher 3 problem, whine about Wind Waker, and promo Hotline Miami, years after everyone else already agreed it was great.

  43. Episode 7 - Keith Courage in Alpha Zones (TurboGrafx 16)

    19 augustus 2015 · 48 min

    Afspelen
    We delve into the oft-overlooked 16-bit console, the TurboGrafx-16 this time, appropriately by looking at the original pack-in title, Keith Courage in Alpha Zones. Lees meer

    Also discussed, what were our most regrettable classic console purchases, and how did we ever know what was good or not in the pre-internet days? Really, how do we even know that now?

    For more coverage of this weeks game, check us out on Twitter (@retrovaniacs) where we will have not just the comic that came with the game but some sample Vines of gameplay!

  44. Episode 6 - Blackthorne (SNES)

    7 augustus 2015 · 1 uur

    Afspelen
    Better late than never (somewhat appropriate anyway for a retro gaming show), we cover the first Blizzard release (as Blizzard), Blackthorne. We mostly focus on the SNES version, but also cover the PC and 32X releases. 32X? Really? Lees meer

    We also ramble for a while about achievements / trophies, and how much or how little we care about them.

    Please check out our website http://www.retrovania.net

  45. Episode 5 - Toe Jam and Earl (Genesis)

    22 juli 2015 · 1 uur 1 min

    Afspelen
    We delve into the Sega Genesis classic, Toe Jam and Earl this week, including discussion of the lesser well received sequels and the Kickstarter-funded sequel in development now. Lees meer

    Also covered, Persona 4 and other games with "bad" endings, a listener question about Emulator Console Systems, and we beg for more positive iTunes reviews.

  46. Episode 4 - General Chaos (Genesis)

    7 juli 2015 · 42 min

    Afspelen
    We're not just Nintendo fanboys, and this week we delve for the first time into the library of the Sega Genesis for cult hit, General Chaos. Why would someone make a real-time strategy combat game on the Genesis? We aren't sure, but the resulting game was definitely unforgettable. Lees meer
