Comments

Pac-Mania - 94%
 * The translation from coin-op to Master System is almost flawless - it's the best we've ever seen! That's a bonus sure enough, but what really makes the game is how well it has been designed and how well it plays - it just goes to show that good game ideas don't have to be discounted just because they are old. Keep it up Tecmagik!

Danan the Jungle Fighter - 85%
 * Good graphics with an absorbing gameplay. If you liked Rastan, buy it!

Sword of Sodan - 45%
 * Sword of Sodan started life on the 16 bit computers and was poorly received, despite the good graphics, because of the poor gameplay. Sadly, this is just what you get on the Mega Drive - good graphics and sub standard gameplay with little or nothing to keep you playing. Save your money for something that doesn't just rely on cosmetic appeal to sell the game.

Super Monaco GP - 92%
 * Excellent conversion of the coin-op with added extras giving it more lasting interest than your average arcade game. Triffic Murray!

Gain Ground - 70%
 * Nice idea which requires quite a bit of thought. This game will have you occupied for quite some time, although shoot-em-up addicts may be bored quickly. Give it a try.

World Cup Italia '90 - 45%
 * Better looking than the Master System version, but just as weak in the gameplay department.
