Ristar Review
People barely know about this game and for good reason, because this game was released at the end of the Genesis lifespan but this game is considered a hidden gem on the genesis. Back in 1991 Ristar began as a concept for Sonic as a rabbit who grabbed things with its ears but Nayoto Oshima made the sonic we know today. But that's not to say the rabbit concept was forgotten, in fact this character was given separate development and character changes. (the ears became arms and the rabbit became a star) And thus Ristar was born for the Sega Genesis and Game Gear. The story is that a evil warlord named Kaiser Greedy has enslaved the universe and captured the "Legendary Hero" leaving the universe helpless. The populace of the planet flora make a plea for help and the call is answered by the hero's own son Ristar. Controls are simple, press A to jump and B and C to grab objects or enemies. The music is fantastic and ironically uses the same music engine as Sonic 1 on the genesis. Overall I think this is a nice end to the genesis and it's a shame that this character never gets brought back. Because of his connection to Sonic, Ristar has been rereleased on various SEGA and Sonic Compilations such as the Sonic Mega Collection And the Sega Genesis Collection.

Superman 64
When I had first heard of this game from the AVGN review, I was shocked! Could this n64 game really be that bad? Well when I tried it out it was frustrating. Worse than Sonic 2006, Earthworm Jim 3D, and Mega man X7 combined. The difficulty is staggering and the game play is flat out repetitive. 90% percent of the time in the game you will be doing nothing than flying through rings. If you really want a
difficult and frustrating experience you should give this game a try, or ignore it and play a better game. Stay away from this game, no matter what unless again you want a hard experience.
Although there was a prototype that was LESS BROKEN than the final product. So if you see a beta rom, Snag it.
