Comments
Jungle Strike A classic shoot-'em-up. Challenging, enthralling and all manner of other big words that mean fab

The Flintsones A little insubstantial, but otherwise as good a Flintstones game as one could hope for

X-Men A fantastic platfomer and a good example of how to use a licence properly

Cool Spot Bar Sonic 2, this is the Mega Drive's best ever platformer, and the best animated game we've ever seen. Cool Spot is real top-drawer stuff and no mistake

Pro Quaterback Terrible graphics, no life-span, no playability... I think you get the picture

Jaguar XJ220 It's got nothing on Lotus Turbo Challenge, really, and it's horribly dull and annoying most of the time. The disc accessing pauses are really irritating too

Mig-29 Tougher than a wildebeest's jockstrap, but not quite as smelly. Gets a bit dull after a while

Summer Challenge About as much fun as cleaning all that fat off the cooker's grill with a three-haired toothbrush and some spit. Only not as messy

Flashback Faultless animation, beautifully designed puzzles and a challenge as big as Paul Mellerick

Shining Force Huge gorgeous-looking and absorbing. I'll never scoff at an RPG again

Cyborg Justice A game you'll either love or loathe, but do take a look at it

Paperboy 2 Rather bland, very unoriginal and not terrribly fun push-bike game

Wolfchild Really dull platformer - I can't imagine what the Mega CD's doing with most of its time when it's running this. Don't bother
