    To save bandwith space, I'll make it short and sweet: Anything
made by a 3rd party licence.  I've seen and played these before and
9 of 10 are about as much fun and Genesis worthy as a toothache.You
can tell Sega doesn't care about the quality of games not made by
them, all they care about is keeping their library larger than nintendos
so they can tell potential buyers to get their system because it has 
more games. More games=More bombs.

An interesting point is that this present is 'togetherness' in a
two-player game; after one player is dead, the present changes to
un-fall.

  There's SEGA's immortal Pro Wrestling... but that's about it.  Pro Wrestling

Slime World was not an Atari title, it was an Epyx title.

Epyx is free to license their games wherever they think they can make
money.  If Nintendo were interested, Epyx would license all of their
titles to them as well.

I seriously doubt that anyone will do a Game Gear version of Slime World,
though.

    Here's a few of the games that I would never trade (restarting a
former thread)...

Genesis:

1. Sonic the Hedgehog (not that I needed to add "the Hedgehog" :-)...clearly
one of the best home games I've ever played. The music and graphics are
outstanding, far better than Super Mario World (I own both, so no flames!).
Sonic is a tad too short for my tastes, but has an enormously high funfactor.
I've been having a lot of challenge (this is pre-Genesis destruction, of
course) whipping through Green Hill Zone (1-3) as fast as possible...try
it! Also, for some reason, Sonic is a very popular game with girls who
have never played games before...I've had two girl friends over who simply
love Sonic and aren't interested in video games as a whole...Sonic does have
personality, that's for certain!

2. Tazmania: I don't own it, but if I DID, I would never trade it, for basically
the exact same reasons as Sonic. Sega is brilliant at making these addictive
cartoony games (Mickey in Castle of Illusion being another)...I can't
wait for World of Illusion and Sonic 2!


Super NES:

1. Super Mario World: Since it was the pack-in game and "just another Mario
game", I think a lot of people forget how fantastic this game really is. 
It is the second most overall amazing home game I've ever played...I've found
92 worlds out of 96 and even though I'm sick of the game by this time (just
for the time being, mind you) I can't get over how many hours of sheer
gaming enjoyment it's given me. The huge world to explore and the battery
back-up really make this game a keeper and, I'm sorry to say, place it
above Sonic in my book (both are fantastic, of course, don't get me
wrong). It's also cool how in two player mode you alternate worlds to
clear with Luigi...looking forward to Mario 5! I know some people havee
complained about the supposed "unoriginality" of Mario and its scores
of imitations (which Sonic is one, I must admit)...but let's face it.
If a game is fun and addictive, who cares if it's unoriginal?

2. Street Fighter II: The number one home video game of all time, in my
humble book. I can't get over how utterly amazing this game is...HOW did
Capcom shrink the 52 Meg arcade game into this 16 Meg cart without losing
at least SOMETHING in the process? Outstanding! This is one game NEVER
to trade...even if Capcom comes out with CE (I mean WHEN they come out with
CE) for the SNES, I'm still keeping this one...a classic in every sense of
the word. 

    

...also, when it comes out for the Genesis, I KNOW Sonic 2 will be a keeper
which must never be traded. Two player simultaneous, 16 Meg (I've heard, at
least, from non-EGM sources) and 35 levels...gotta have it!

John Madden Football '92 is available (so is the older, not as good John
Madden Football). Rumor has it that there will be a JMF '93, but that's 
unsubstantiated.

IMHO, JMF '92 is the best football game available for the Genny and possibly
any platform (haven't played the Neo-Geo one yet). It has great control, and
allows you to play both sides of the field well. Only problem with it is that
it's too easy.

Well I don't know about Borg, but Jimmy Connors and Andre Agassi are schedule

be released this year. By the way, I don't like the looks of Capriati tennis.
I'm sick of tennis games with cartoon looking players even if the play is

I remember hearing a sound bite of George Bush on the radio concerning the
debate over the song 'Cop Killer' by Body Count. Well, he was speaking out
against such songs, movies, tv shows and Video Games, that glorify 
the killing of police officers. But you know, I couldn't think of any 
video games where the point is to kill cops? Are there any? I thought of 
Batman, but it doesn't actually say in the game that you are beating up
on cops, and you'd only know that if you saw the movie, and also that they
are corrupt cops that the Joker has on payroll. So is this just something
his speechwriters made up about video games? I'm sure Bush doesn't frequent

I've got both SMGP and RR and wouldn't sell either, both are good games, but
for different reasons.  Road Rash is just plain fun, with fantastic 3D
graphics, but is not very realistic (who cares, it's fun!) and is not really
a true race -- you compete against opponents, but they aren't as challenging
as simply avoiding wrecking!

Super Monaco is more realistic and has good (but not great) graphics and has
nice stereo sound (you hear which side opposing cars are on!)  It is more of
a true "race" game.

I like RR more then I like SMGP, but I like both games a lot.  You can't lose
with either.
