Haunting Starring Polterguy Review (Sega Genesis / Mega Drive)

Sega

Haunting Starring Polterguy is a unique title for the Mega Drive and Sega Genesis. Whereas typically in games it’s best to avoid troublesome ghosts, in this you get to play as one! Is it any good? Check out this review…

In the early 1990’s Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat dominated the fighting game genre, inspiring many developers to try and replicate the successful formula. Sega’s attempt was Eternal Champions, which feels like they were aiming for a happy medium by incorporating the best of both franchises, but was it any good? Let’s find out in this review…

OutRun is one of all-time favourite arcade games, so obviously the Mega Drive and Sega Genesis version is a “must have” in my collection, but how faithful is it to the original and is it still fun to play? Let’s take a look in this review.

In 1989 Golden Axe was released in the arcades and was a great success. Makoto Uchida, who previously worked on Altered Beast, was said to have wanted to create a game that was inspired by Double Dragon and his love for the Conan films. With SEGA’s mission to offer an “arcade at home” experience, it wasn’t long before it was ported to the Sega Genesis and Mega Drive.

The Terminator was released by Virgin Games on the Sega Mega Drive and Genesis in 1992. Licensed games have always been a bit of a gamble; they’re often average at best, but there are some exceptions like Aladdin which is one of my favourites on the system. I still have the game cartridge that my cousin owned back in the early 90’s, but is it any good? Let’s take a look in this review…

When it comes to Christmas themed retro games, I often like to have a quick play of James Pond 2: Codename Robocod at this time of year. Whilst the character started off on the Amiga and this game has been ported to multiple systems such as the Super Nintendo and PlayStation, the version I used to play was on the Mega Drive.
