So far on the channel, I've reviewed two of the five fishing titles on the Genesis, in the two TNN Bass games. The first one was...okay...while the second one was horribly broken, to the point that it's not clear what they were thinking releasing the game in that state, ESPECIALLY in 1996.
Today, I get away from that series to look at the first game in the OTHER series of fishing games for the Genesis (not including the one off King Salmon). Bass Masters Classic is the first of those games, and it was a pretty late release on the console, hitting the market in mid 1995. Did Black Pearl Software take advantage of that late release window and really take advantage of the Genesis hardware? Or is this just a crappy shovelware title, trying to take advantage of kids and parents that didn't know any better? Take a look!
