The final Streets of Rage game is a polarising one. While the first two games in the series are universally praised as classic beat-em-ups, the third game just doesn’t get the same amount of love. This might be because depending on whether you’re playing a Japanese or a Western version of the game you’re in for a quite a different experience.

Another retro review! Today we’re tackling the Mega Drive port of perennial AM2 arcade classic After Burner II. Can the Mega Drive handle a faithful port of a game made for the slightly more powerful SEGA X Board?

Alien Storm is an often ignored entry in SEGA’s beat-em-up history for reasons that aren’t particularly clear. Did the humour put off the die-hard SEGA fanbase? Were SEGA fans simply not interested in anything that wasn’t Streets of Rage or Golden Axe? Who knows. Regardless, we think it’s a game you should check out and now we have a review explaining exactly why we think it’s worth your time.

Snatcher marks Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima’s second time as a video game director. The game was originally released in 1988 and was remastered and translated into English only once. The English language version of Snatcher appeared on the Mega-CD in 1994 and since Kojima’s breakout success with Metal Gear Solid, the game is become a highly sought-after title.
But is the game any good? Find out in our full review of Snatcher for the Mega-CD!
