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
