Gain Ground. Sega (1991) Sega Genesis

Golden Axe Warrior. Sega (1991) Sega Master System
I’ll be honest, I thought I was going to absolutely hate this game. I don’t especially like the Golden Axe series, and lets be honest, this game looks like a Legend of Zelda clone. So let me take you on…

Streets of Rage. Sega (1991) Sega Genesis
I loved Streets of Rage (Bare Knuckle in Japan) as a kid, it might be the game I played most on my Megadrive. Road Rash and Aladdin come close, but I think the amount of time me and mates put in to…

Fatal Labyrinth. Sega (1991) Sega Genesis
Originally an exclusive release on the “super popular” Meganet subscription service in 1990 it took one whole year before Sega decided that was a stupid idea, and released a PAL and US version.

The Simpsons: Bart vs the Space Mutants, Acclaim (1991) Nintendo
The one thing I did growing up more than play videogames was watch the Simpsons. So when I finally convinced my parents to buy me Bart vs the Space Mutants, I was the proverbial pig in shit. Sadly, over time…

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Nintendo (1991) Super Nintendo
Link to the Past (LttP) drops the side scrolling action of Zelda 2, and returns to the traditional 3/4 top down view found in Zelda 1.

Toejam and Earl. Sega (1991) Sega Genesis
I am not sure how to start this… Except, Toejam and Earl is random, wacky, and a little surreal. Typically, when somebody decribes ANYTHING like that, I automatically hate it, not Toejam and Earl though.

MERCS. Capcom/Sega (1991) Sega Genesis
It is strange going back and playing older games. I forget you didn’t have an expectation to complete them. Which brings us to MERCS, MERCS is a sod.

Alien Storm. Sega (1991) Sega Genesis
Have you ever played Golden Axe, and thought… “This is pretty poop, what we need is Aliens and guns”? Well, in case you were wondering, this is what Alien Storm is. Golden Axe, with Aliens, and Guns. Is this a…
