We finally venture into the first 16-bit game console, the Sega Genesis, and with one of it's most iconic titles: Golden Axe! Often times, great arcade games ported to home consoles were pretty disappointing, as the game quality would be downgraded by so much, but in this case, Golden Axe on the Genesis did not disappoint!

Joey has tortured himself once again, reviewing one of the hardest games of all time: We present to you the original Mega Man on the NES! Talk about hard! With that said, Mega Man has it's place in history, not just for being the game that started it all, or being hard as hell, but also the fact that the music, graphics, and yes, the game play is phenomenal for it's time, and more than worth a try, if you dare!

We go back to the legendary late 80's and early 90's with one of the better action platformers on the NES, without the name "Mario" in it, Chip 'N Dale Rescue Rangers! One of the staples of the Disney Afternoon, being brought to the NES was a definite success, and arguably a more entertaining style than it's predecessor in Duck Tales. This game had more levels, and allowed you to play a co-op style, which was relatively new at the time!

After three straight insanely hard games, I figured it was time to settle down a little bit, and review the very first NES game I ever beat, that game was Breakthru, which was also an arcade game just a year earlier.
