It is a pretty mediocre run and shoot type of game.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Dungeons and Dragons<\/b> &#8211; Dungeons &amp; Dragons: Warriors of the Eternal Sun reminds me a bit of the Gold Box AD&amp;D games that were popular on various computers. I loved those games and have often wondered how this one compares though I have never played it. It gets an OK but not spectacular review here.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Dyna Brothers<\/b> &#8211; Review of a game that is sort of a cross between Populous and Pokemon&#8230;or maybe Digimon&#8230;or something similar. The theme is dinosaurs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Evander Holyfield<\/b> &#8211; This review agrees with others I have seen. Evander Holyfield&#8217;s Real Deal Boxing isn&#8217;t that great of a deal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Gley Lancer<\/b> &#8211; An excellent side-scrolling shooter (at least according to the review). The screen shots remind me a little of R-Type but then lots of shooters had a similar look.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>James Bond<\/b> &#8211; Preview of a James Bond themed action game that features plenty of classic bond characters.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Magical Tarot<\/b> &#8211; A unique, fantasy themed platformer that gets a pretty good review here.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Techno Soccer<\/b> &#8211; A sort of novelty soccer game in which the field can have different surfaces (ice, mud , etc.) and the players can use power-ups to make them faster and stronger. It gets a terrible review here so I&#8217;m guessing this one is not for soccer fans&#8230;or game fans in general.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Thunder Force IV<\/b> &#8211; An excellent horizontal shooter that looks even more like R-Type than Gley Lancer. But this is one than any shooter fan and Genesis owner should have.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Twinkle Tail<\/b> &#8211; The reviewer compares it to Gauntlet and I guess it looks kind of like a more open world Gauntlet. It gets a pretty good review here.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Warriors of Rome<\/b> &#8211; Warrior of Rome II &#8211; A strategy\/war\/role-playing game. If you are a strategy game fan then this is a good one for the Genesis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-28997\" src=\"\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/MAG-2-084-790x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"790\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.megalextoria.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/MAG-2-084-790x1024.jpg 790w, https:\/\/www.megalextoria.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/MAG-2-084-231x300.jpg 231w, https:\/\/www.megalextoria.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/MAG-2-084-768x996.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.megalextoria.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/MAG-2-084-1184x1536.jpg 1184w, https:\/\/www.megalextoria.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/MAG-2-084-1579x2048.jpg 1579w, https:\/\/www.megalextoria.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/MAG-2-084-93x120.jpg 93w, https:\/\/www.megalextoria.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/MAG-2-084.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 790px) 100vw, 790px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8230;and more!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: Mega Drive Advanced Gaming &#8211; Issue Number 2 &#8211; October 1992\u00a0 Mega Drive Advanced Gaming is a magazine that was published in the U.K. and dedicated to the Sega Mega Drive (Sega Genesis) and also covered the Mega-Cd and 32X.
