This game was a prize at a radio station in Japan. Some sprites were edited and it's night. Other than that it's a basic Mario game.

Ah, the good ol' laggy, unresponsive pre-Budokai DBZ games.   Not much to say about 'em. Graphics for even a PS1 game are awful, the controls are laggy, and the game runs slow. Storyline is pretty much non-existant. Go play Budokai 3.   1/5

One of the more overlooked titles in the series, Castlevania - Bloodlines is a great counterpart to Super Castlevania 4 for SEGA fans.

Intelligent Qube is a game in which the object is to destroy all gray and green blocks without destroying the black ones by setting "bombs" that detonate when you choose.

It's hard to talk about classic Sonic games without talking about Sonic & Knuckles. And it's not because it's the fourth installment (against what Sega might think), but because the way this game wraps everything up. Sonic & Knuckles is the second 1994 Sega Genesis/Megadrive game to the Sonic series. ...
