Even though the concept of a game entirely based on Quick Time Events may sound boring, Road Avenger manages to demonstrate the opposite. It offers an experience that requires speed with the command and maintains constant tension: here, missing a beat, even if only for a thousandth second, means a crashed car. The game tells the story of a young man who, just married, watches his wife die because of a gang of bikers. The boy hits the road with the mission of destroying these ruffians.
As a curiosity, the director of Road Avenger was also the father of the arcade version of Double Dragon. Controlling Duran, a legendary knight, we face a dark god and his army of monsters who plan to end all existence. At our disposal, and before starting each level, we have four different types of armor represented by the elements: Fire, Water, Earth, and Air.
These armors grant us special powers, allowing us to unleash raging cyclones, rain lava from the sky, cause thunderstorms, or summon fiery dragons. Lords of Thunder superbly represents all those effects on the screen, along with a considerable number of enemies, which makes it sometimes difficult to follow the action.
The best part is the soundtrack composed of heavy metal themes that come as a ring to your finger. As if this were not enough, he has delivered the keys that deactivate the device to the worst villains in New York.
Luckily our friend and neighbor Spider-Man is here to save the day! This plot marks the development of a title that saw several substantial improvements on Sega CD. Those improvements are animated scenes to tell the story, two extra levels, new combat moves, and collectible comics. Also, a refined control that made balancing between skyscrapers to be a real delight. Finally, this version also included a soundtrack composed by Spencer Nilsen, who was in charge of the excellent adaptation of Batman Returns that we have discussed, that you will hum for hours.
We know how lucky adaptations of films to videogame format tend to be: low-quality games that hardly deserve a glance. Once in a while, a suitable license goes to a studio that takes advantage and develops games that do justice to the original product.
The Terminator is a title based on the legendary Arnold Schwarzenegger film. In its early stages, it transports us to the future from which Kyle Reese comes. Virgin Games developed this game as a 2D shooter that is as fun as it is challenging.
Not in vain even today, it is considered one of the best titles based on Terminator. This 2D platform has the characteristic of having situations as absurd as funny. Jim is an ordinary worm until a day destiny made him fall on a special super-hyper-ultra-suit that gives him powers. Since then, he faces psychic ravens and Machiavellian cats using a pistol and his own body as a whip. To this, we must add that the Sega CD version includes levels with greater content, a completely new phase, and around animation frames that are not in the Sega Mega Drive installment.
What did you expect? There is a reason for the tagline Special Edition! A group of girls are preparing themselves to spend the night in an old house where strange events had taken place: five girls before they disappeared without a trace.
This plot, which could entirely belong to that of a horror movie for teenagers, is the premise of Night Trap, a pioneering game in using Full Motion Video scenes. A group of vampires sets us out to quench their bloodlust with the new tenants. We, as members of the Sega Special Unit, will monitor the house through hidden cameras and make use of the traps set up throughout the house to save the lives of these young girls. The game is, however, sadly known for the considerable controversy it generated on its launch.
People said it was embarrassing, ultra-violent, repulsive, and disgusting as it invited to catch and kill women — when in fact, it was just the opposite. This combat helicopter simulator had a technical superiority at that time. In essence, from the cockpit of an AHM we fly over large environments designed in pseudo-3D, with a smoothness when moving around worthy of mention.
Our mission is always to destroy an enemy unit or location, with optional objectives along the way that allow us to increase the score. While most Sega CD games could entirely pass as Mega Drive video games, Silpheed is one of the few to take advantage of and demonstrate the true potential of the feature.
Ships, built with polygons, move at full speed on pre-rendered scenarios, which produces a spectacular effect. Now you can enjoy playing legendary games like:. Explore many genres.
