Final Fantasy 6 is one of those rare games that we hold up as a paragon of design, a title that we reminisce about fondly with friends. A perfect game then to take apart piece by piece to analyse whether it is still a classic RPG tale, or if its quality is now just a legend.
Streets Of Rage 3 was a side-scrolling brawler for the Mega Drive, how well has it held up after 15 years? Xero investigates…
Micro Machines was developed by Codemasters. Codemasters were most famous at the time for the Dizzy games, now they are more likely to be associated with racing games such as the Colin McRae franchise.
Micro Machines 2 Turbo Tournament was released 3 years after the original. It added hover boats and helicopters to franchise as well as a head to head mode. Codemasters developed the ‘J-Cart’ for the game which placed two controller ports on the cartridge allowing 4 people to play the game without the use of a 4 player adapter. The game would eventually be remade in the form of Micro Machines Turbo Tournament ‘96 exclusively for the Sega Mega Drive (Genesis).
