Tommy Lasorda Baseball (Sega Genesis) - Zilog and Moto #56 Zilog and Moto 2020-03-23 | So, it's March, and you know what that means...well, in any normal year, anyway. Yes, that's right, it's time for Major League Baseball Spring Training. And in honor of that, I decided to back to where baseball started on the Genesis, and take a look at not just an early sports title on the Genesis, but the FIRST sports title on the Genesis, Tommy Lasorda Baseball.Yes, that's right, once upon a time the two time World Series champ and Mr. Slim Fast himself (before Dan Marino came along) had his own baseball game. Known as Super League in Japan and Europe, Tommy Lasorda Baseball was a launch title for the Genesis, and carried on the tradition of sports titles named for celebrities from the Master System like Reggie Jackson and Walter Payton. How well has it aged over the last 31 years? Take a look!
Sports Talk Baseball (Sega Genesis) - Zilog and Moto #256 Zilog and Moto 2024-10-14 | As you get older, things tend to get a little...fuzzy. That game that you really liked when you were a kid, was it REALLY that good? Or are you maybe forgetting some key details. These were questions I asked myself when reviewing Sports Talk Baseball this week, which was notable to me for being the first baseball game that I loved that also featured real baseball players.Well, did I end up having the same high opinion of it that I had back in the early 90s? Or did I realize that perhaps there were some flaws I had either overlooked or forgotten about?

Growl (Sega Genesis) - Zilog and Moto #255 Zilog and Moto 2024-10-07 | Over the last weekend, I had a bit of a road trip, and was able to get to some game stores that I don't usually see, and due to that, I found a few games to add to the collection. One of those was Growl, the port of the arcade game from Taito. Growl tends to be somewhat pricey, which is why I hadn't picked it up before, but when I saw it this time around, I decided that I should go ahead and take the plunge.Was it worth it? Is Growl a good title, and deserving of that high price? Or, does it play like an early Genesis title, with developers still probably not being able to get the most out of the console? And, what's up with that crazy plot? Well, I take a look at all that, and you can judge for yourself if it's worth it or not.Also, on one last note, as I was editing the game footage for the video, I took a second listen to the game's soundtrack, and it's REALLY good. Like, I think I undersold it a bit in the review, so if you're into game audio, you might want to give this one an extra star, but to me, the fact that it was only a one player game just is really hard to get over.The "interloper" incident referred to in the intro. I've really got to update security around here.

Back to the Future III (Sega Genesis) - Zilog and Moto #254 Zilog and Moto 2024-09-24 | About a hundred episodes ago, I reviewed the Master System version of Back to the Future III. It was, expectedly, not a great game, with a ridiculously hard first level. But, even though it wasn't great, I had a nice sense of accomplishment from being able to complete it. Fast forward to this review, and I was thinking, "well, this is the original, 16 bit version of the game, and it has an extra level, so it has to be better, right?How wrong I was...when the publisher can't even get the manual right, you KNOW you're in for a rough ride, and the pain didn't stop there.

Tecmo Super Bowl (Sega Genesis) - Zilog and Moto #253 Zilog and Moto 2024-09-16 | Some weeks working on the channel are better than others. For instance, this week, getting to play a classic like Tecmo Super Bowl, is going to be far better than what's to come next week. (I'll give you a hint, it involves riding a horse).But what was also fun about this review was getting to dig into the history of the series, (I didn't realize it began in the arcades), and also compare it to the NES version and see what was changed, other than...spoiler...no Bo Jackson.Take a look, and see just how it compared, and if it's as good as it's reputation makes it out to be.Chapters0:00 Intro3:55 A look at the package7:53 Gameplay/Review23:00 Final ThoughtsTwitter/X: twitter.com/zilognmotohostThreads: threads.net/@zilognmotohostBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/zilognmotohost.bsky.socialEmail: zilogandmoto@gmail.com#retro #retrogaming #sega #segagenesis #genesis #segamegadrive #megadrive #zilogandmoto #playthrough #gameplay #gamereview #tecmobowl #tecmosuperbowl
Lethal Enforcers II: Gun Fighters (Sega Genesis) - Zilog and Moto #252 Zilog and Moto 2024-09-06 | Previously on the channel, I had looked at Lethal Enforcers, the Genesis and Sega CD game with the giant box, due to including a fairly large lightgun called a Justifier. Well, Konami thought that players might want another reason to pull their Justifiers out, and brought the arcade sequel home on both of those platforms. Today, we're specifically looking at the Genesis version of Lethal Enforcers II: Gun Fighters, a game that can simply be described as Lethal Enforcers - Wild West Edition, but that might be selling the game short a bit, as there's some other changes at hand here. What are they?

Wonder Boy III: The Dragons Trap (Sega Master System) - Zilog and Moto #251 Zilog and Moto 2024-08-29 | Some weeks, you review an absolute abomination of a game like Power Factory. And then some weeks, you review one of the best games on the console, in Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap. Weeks like this, make all those terrible games worth it, ESPECIALLY when it's a game you haven't ever played before.So far, the Wonder Boy series hasn't missed on the Master System.

Batman: Revenge of the Joker (Sega Genesis) - Zilog and Moto #249 Zilog and Moto 2024-08-14 | Now, this is a game that I've been excited to review for a while, mainly because I had never played it before, on either the Genesis or the original NES version, despite the fact that I used to see it advertised ALL THE TIME in comic books and video game magazines back in the day. Plus, with it being the "sequel" to the amazing original Sunsoft Batman, and with a soundtrack from Tommy Tallarico, how could it miss?Wellllllll...okay, to be fair, it's not a total miss. But, it does have some issues. Take a look to see what you might be getting into, if you decide to invest in what is NOT a cheap game on the resale market.

Goofys Hysterical History Tour (Sega Genesis) - Zilog and Moto #248 Zilog and Moto 2024-08-05 | Disney games on sixteen bit consoles are a bit of a mixed bag. There's some really excellent examples, like Castle of Illusion, Quackshot and Aladdin, and then there's also some...less capable titles like Fantasia and Talespin, that I looked at back in Episode #167. Going into Goofy's Hysterical History Tour, I had high hopes that this might be a bit of a hidden gem on the console, but unfortunately, that doesn't appear to be the case.

Micro Machines Turbo Tournament 96 (Sega Mega Drive) - Zilog and Moto #247 Zilog and Moto 2024-07-29 | UPDATE - Shout out to RetroSegaDev in the comments, but in the video, I complain about the computer "cheating" and driving faster than me. Apparently, even though it's not mentioned anywhere in the game or the manual (which only describes the characters in the briefest way possible, discussing how it saves your records), the different characters apparently do have different attributes, ala Mario Kart, so it's possible that the computer wasn't cheating, it was just using a character with a faster top speed than I did. Apologies for that, but this is one of the good things about the comments, in that when I say something especially stupid, someone can correct me. Thanks for keeping me honest RetroSegaDev, but that feature, and the fact that they didn't properly publicize it doesn't change the ratings I gave it at the end.The next video might get delayed...but it's always coming. The original plan was to have this review out last week, and then a tiny, insignificant company called Crowdstrike decided to ruin anyone's life that worked in IT. Thanks guys, appreciate it.ANYWAY...enough about that crap, let's talk about Micro Machines: Turbo Tournament 96. The Micro Machines series has a near legendary reputation in Europe, but didn't do so well in the States, and this is the second game in a row in the series that didn't make it over here. Is there a reason for that, or did the US get screwed...again. Well, I'll take a look at that and possibly come up with a controversial viewpoint on the game that might get me banned from the UK for life. Spoilers: The game is much better in multiplayer mode.

Super Space Invaders (Sega Master System) - Zilog and Moto #246 Zilog and Moto 2024-07-17 | Sometimes, when something is created, it's just the right thing at the right time, and it's special, and no matter how many times they go back to that well and try to improve upon it, or make a new version of that game, it just doesn't quite work. That seems to be the case with Super Space Invaders, which was Taito's fourth attempt at revisiting Space Invaders, and while the arcade machine did do some good things, it was still a game that was too closely attached to it's past.Unfortunately, the Master System port is a fairly accurate version of a flawed game, and well...you can probably see where this is going, because while some things were done right, there's also plenty that was done wrong separate from the sins of it's father, so to speak.

Hardball 94 (Sega Genesis) - Zilog and Moto #245 Zilog and Moto 2024-07-09 | Back after spending some brief time with the family for Fourth of July week, it's time for another installment of Zilog and Moto. And with the Fourth in recent memory, what better way to return to the channel, than with a game about America's Pastime, Baseball.Previously in episode 141, Hardball III came out of seemingly nowhere, and was a very impressive release, with tons of gameplay options and customizations that aren't normally seen on console releases. Hardball '94 is the sequel to that game, coming out about a year later, and with a year to work on the game, of course Hardball '94 would be even better than it's predecessor...right? Right?Well, as you might have guessed, things went a little sideways, with Hardball '94 being more of a lateral move than an upgrade.

Yogi Bear: Cartoon Capers (Sega Mega Drive) - Zilog and Moto #241 Zilog and Moto 2024-06-03 | Yes, you read the title correctly, today's game is a European exclusive title, and as such, it's a Mega Drive release, not a Genesis release (although, it plays perfectly on the Genesis, and is actually designed for NTSC timings). Yogi Bear: Cartoon Capers is a platformer where you control the titular bear, and are on a mission to save Jellystone Park from some developers who intend on polluting the park by building a chemical plant.Sounds like a cool idea, and one that's somewhat progressive for a cartoon that debuted in the 1950s, right?

And then you play it, and realize WHY no one else ever did it? Well, that's the case with this week's game, Roger Clemens MVP Baseball, and it's unique take on fielding. (And while I'm sure there IS probably some other baseball game out there that does fielding in the same manner, I'm not aware of it.

Well, maybe not exactly, but if you happen to run across the ending to the game, you'll understand what I'm talking about.

And, I finally figured out the best way to record video from emulators when necessary, so that was nice as well, and I'm sure will help the next time I do a light gun review.

This time around, it's time to take a look at the Sega CD version, and there's actually more differences here than you might expect, and I'm not just talking about some crappy full motion video sequences that don't really benefit the game itself.What is different, and should you care?

And by pleasant surprise, I don't mean the game has to absolutely knock my socks off, I just mean that it has to be better than I was expecting it to be, and fun.Paperboy 2 falls into both of those categories, and I definitely enjoyed my time playing it this week. Writing the script for this video, not so much, as for whatever reason, it originally came out a lot more disjointed than usual, and definitely required some editing. Somewhere out there, one of my elementary English teachers is nodding their head and saying "THAT'S WHY YOU DO A FIRST DRAFT."Chapters0:00 Intro4:00 A look at the package7:51 Gameplay/Review20:53 Final ThoughtsTwitter/X: twitter.com/zilognmotohostThreads: threads.net/@zilognmotohostBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/zilognmotohost.bsky.socialEmail: zilogandmoto@gmail.com#retro #retrogaming #sega #segagenesis #genesis #segamegadrive #megadrive #zilogandmoto #playthrough #gameplay #gamereview #paperboy #paperboy2 #tengen
Bass Masters Classic (Sega Genesis) - Zilog and Moto #231 Zilog and Moto 2024-03-08 | 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?

Earth Defense (Sega Genesis) - Zilog and Moto #230 Zilog and Moto 2024-02-29 | Previously on the channel, I've covered a few unlicensed titles, whether they were games that have been released in the last 10 years, or games from Accolade that were released during the console's original lifespan, and were really only unlicensed because Sega and Accolade couldn't see eye to eye on costs. Today though, I'm covering a game that probably would not have been able to have been released today, due to the questionable legality of the code behind it.Earth Defense is the last game released by publisher Realtec and developer AV Artisan, coming out in 1995, towards the tail end of the Genesis original lifespan. So, with it coming out that late, surely it's well optimized and utilizes the full horsepower of the console, right? Welllll....not quite.

Road Rash (Sega Master System) - Zilog and Moto #229 Zilog and Moto 2024-02-20 | (Apologies in advance for any stumbles or mumbles in the voiceovers, for whatever reason, my mouth just did NOT want to cooperate tonight!)In September of 1991, Road Rash debuted on the Sega Genesis, and it was an immediate hit, spawning two sequels and spin off on the console, and it was so popular, that it pulled off the unusual port TO the Amiga rather than from the Amiga, which happened somewhat regularly in the earlier years of the console.A few years later, US Gold thought, "well, hey, what about the Master System, people still use them in Europe!" And Electronic Arts was like, "Hey, knock yourself out, we're busy working on Road Rash 3." And thus, Road Rash for the Master System was born, in early 1994.Was this a stroke of genius on US Gold's part? Or was it too little and far too late? Take a look!

Toughman Contest (Sega 32X) - Zilog and Moto #228 Zilog and Moto 2024-02-12 | Before you ask, yes, TECHNICALLY, I've reviewed this game before, in that I reviewed the Genesis version back in episode #128. This being the 32X version, is a slightly enhanced port of the game from Visual Concepts, and while you might think it's exactly the same game just with a few extra colors, you'd actually be wrong, as I found out while doing the review. Now, to be fair, they are very similar games, and if you don't like one, you're not going to like the other one, but I still wanted to put it through it's paces and see what I thought, and if perhaps my opinion had changed at all in the last two years.Did it?

NFL Sports Talk Football 93 Starring Joe Montana (Sega Genesis) - Zilog and Moto #227 Zilog and Moto 2024-02-05 | NFL Sports Talk Football '93 is the sequel to a game that I personally loved and rated very highly in Joe Montana Football II: Sports Talk Football, a game that was far beyond any other football game on the console at the time. As great as the John Madden Football series is, the dirty little secret about those first few games is that they were actually somewhat simple titles, no licensing, and only playoff ladders, with no full season play.Joe Montana Football II already had established full season play, and now NFL Sports Talk Football 93 added NFL licensing, but what else did Sega add to the mix to improve the game?

MiG-29 Fighter Pilot (Sega Genesis) - Zilog and Moto #226 Zilog and Moto 2024-01-25 | I'm not a big fan of combat sim games. And by that, I mean games where you're specifically playing a war simulation where you pilot a lifelike vehicle, usually with some considerably more complicated controls than your average video game, in an attempt to make the experience more realistic. However, previously on the channel, I've actually enjoyed the previous two combat sims that I've played. However, both of those were from Electronic Arts, and MiG-29 Fighter Pilot is from Domark. Can Domark make it three for three for the genre so far on the Genesis? Or was this game one that should have remained on home computers?

ESPN National Hockey Night (Sega Genesis) - Zilog and Moto #225 Zilog and Moto 2024-01-17 | The Genesis is home to some all time great hockey games with the NHL series from Electronic Arts, but those are far from the only hockey games on the console. In today's video, we'll be taking a look at one of the games that attempted to take on NHL '95 during Christmas of 1994. Did it actually bring something new to the table, or is this just yet another sports game on the Genesis that can get in the bin?

Shinobi (Sega Master System) - Zilog and Moto #224 Zilog and Moto 2024-01-09 | Starting off Year 6 of the channel with a bang! Err...well, can it be a bang if you're a ninja? I mean, aren't ninjas supposed to be quiet? Anyway, somehow in the previous two hundred and twenty three episodes, I had yet to cover any of the six games in the Shinobi series on these consoles, so it was time to go ahead and get them on the schedule. We start with the original Shinobi for the Master System, a game that I had played before doing the review, but only very briefly. Did the game hold up after I had a chance to do a deeper dive into it? Or is the Master System version as mediocre as some of the other ports of the game?

Jennifer Capriati Tennis (Sega Genesis) - Zilog and Moto #223 Zilog and Moto 2023-12-27 | Well, this is it, the last review of Year 5 of the channel, and we're closing things out with...a sports game. BUT. This is not just any sports game, no, this is Jennifer Capriati Tennis aka GrandSlam: The Tennis Tournament, the only sports game to come from Renovation Products, who was much better known for their action and role playing catalog.What happens when a publisher who isn't known for releasing sports titles tries their hand at one? And does it measure up to their other releases? Well, I guess I don't know the answer to the latter, as this is the first time I've reviewed a Renovation title on the channel, but I definitely have an answer for the former, and it might not be what you think. Take a look, and see if I can finally play a tennis game that's better than Andre Agassi Tennis...Chapters0:00 Intro3:53 A look at the package8:40 Gameplay/Review19:47 Final ThoughtsTwitter/X: twitter.com/zilognmotohost (for me)Threads: threads.net/@zilognmotohostBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/zilognmotohost.bsky.socialEmail: zilogandmoto@gmail.com#retro #retrogaming #sega #segagenesis #genesis #segamegadrive #megadrive #zilogandmoto #playthrough #gameplay #gamereview#jennifercapriatitennis #grandslam
Columns (Sega Genesis) - Zilog and Moto #222 Zilog and Moto 2023-12-18 | Columns. You could easily explain Columns away as just being Sega's attempt to try to steal some of Nintendo's thunder with the massive success of Tetris, but based on my experience this week, I think that's doing a pretty large disservice to the game itself. Sure, it exists because Sega needed a killer app to fill the puzzle game void on the Genesis that other titles weren't doing, but honestly, it's actually a pretty decent game in it's own right.At least, the Arcade version is. Does the Genesis version hold up to that lofty standard?

Chase H.Q.

Trust me, the VO and on camera segments were fun to get through.Anyway, enough griping, here's this week's review of Chase HQ for the Master System, one of the few PAL Master System games that you better have the ability to play in PAL mode, or else you're going to run the risk of having a seizure when you try to play it. I'm not even joking, due to the timing issues, as soon as the screen tries to scroll horizontally, things get crazy.Was it worth going through the trouble to play it in the correct mode?

Mike Ditka Power Football (Sega Genesis) - Zilog and Moto #220 Zilog and Moto 2023-12-01 | One of the traditions in the United States on Thanksgiving along with eating far too much food and trying to avoid certain relatives, is watching football, with their not only being 3 NFL games on tap, but also the annual Egg Bowl between Ole Miss and Mississippi State. Because of that, I thought it was a good time to review one of the "other" football games for the Genesis, that isn't from Sega or Electronic Arts.Enter today's video, which is a review of Mike Ditka Power Football from Accolade. When I've looked at "alternative" football games previously on the channel....well, it didn't go so well, and I managed to suffer through one of the worst games I've played during my 5 years of doing Zilog and Moto.Will Mike Ditka Power Football suffer that same fate? Or did Accolade actually produce a decent, early football title on the console?

Golden Axe (Sega Genesis) - Zilog and Moto #219 Zilog and Moto 2023-11-22 | When you're going through a catalog of almost thirteen hundred titles, there's going to be a lot of names that are either incredibly obscure, or they're random sports games that most people don't really care about. But then there's some that are huge names, that have a reputation that have stood the test of time, and any time I get to review one of those "Big" names, it's pretty exciting. If you're a Sega fan, Golden Axe is one of those "big" names, being an arcade hit that spawned an entire series, but then also being one of the early Genesis titles that really put the console on the map, and was emblematic of the "Sega does what Nintendon't" advertising campaign, with 16 bit arcade ports that were far beyond anything that could be done on an 8 bit console. But just how good is Golden Axe? Did it suffer from being such an early release? Or did Sega R&D 2 knock this one out of the park?

Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective Volume I (Sega CD) - Zilog and Moto #218 Zilog and Moto 2023-11-14 | Full Motion Video based games come in lots of different genres. So far on the channel, we've seen good adaptions of the technology into action and shooting titles, but there's been some others that haven't quite hit the mark (Make My Video, anyone?) But, what about the adventure game genre? Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective Vol.1 isn't your standard point and click game, to be sure, but I think it's still meets the requirements of the genre.

I'll reupload a fixed version soon.)Some games on the channel I'm not familiar with before I do the review for them, but then other games, like NHL 94...well, I'd have to turn in my Sega fan credentials if I didn't know NHL 94. The NHL Hockey series, almost as much as the John Madden Football series, redefined sports games in the mid 90s, and one of the best examples of the series was NHL 94, which is notable for being the first game in the series to feature both NHL and NHLPA licensing.Just how good is the game?

Bonanza Brothers (Sega Genesis) - Zilog and Moto #215 Zilog and Moto 2023-10-16 | This week, it's yet another game that before this week, not only had I never played ANY version of it, I had never even seen gameplay of the game, OR any references to the game. And yes, I'm sure, probably somewhere at some point over the last 30+ years, I probably saw a picture of it in a magazine, but I definitely don't remember it.Anyway, that means experiencing the game this week was especially interesting, because it was with completely fresh eyes, and I had zero preconceived notions about it before the review.So, did I really enjoy the game, to the point of awarding it "hidden gem" status?

The Genesis version, like most other versions, was originally bundled with a copy of the World Almanac, and because of that, finding an intact, complete copy of the game can be a bit tricky, but thankfully on my last vacation, I stumbled across one at a great price, so here it is!Does the Genesis version of the game hold up compared to the home computer versions?

I probably could have reviewed this one awhile back, but I wanted to save these Brazilian releases, just because they're somewhat special, and definitely not one of your run of the mill Master System titles.And thankfully, it was a really fun game as well!

European Club Soccer (Mega Drive) - Zilog and Moto #210 Zilog and Moto 2023-08-28 | Back in Episode 82, I reviewed a game called World Trophy Soccer. It was an unusual soccer game, in that it grouped various National Teams together, and had them compete in a tournament, but not a World Cup styled tournament, instead it was a tournament that was more like what was used in the European Cup at the time.Well, there's a reason for that, and it's because World Trophy Soccer was formerly known as European Club Soccer in Europe, before it was edited and released here. This is a review of that ORIGINAL game, which was unique at the time for including 170 European Club teams to choose from. Yes, you read that right, there's One Hundred and Seventy teams in this game. Sounds awesome, right? Ehhh....well, you might want to strap in, this one is going to get rough.Chapters0:00 Intro4:05 A look at the package8:15 Gameplay/Review22:30 Final ThoughtsTwitter: twitter.com/zilognmotohost (for me) twitter.com/ZilogAndMoto (for channel specific notifications)Email: zilogandmoto@gmail.com#retro #retrogaming #sega #segagenesis #genesis #segamegadrive #megadrive #zilogandmoto #playthrough #gameplay #gamereview #worldtrophysoccer #europeanclubsoccer
Wirehead (Sega CD) - Zilog and Moto #209 Zilog and Moto 2023-08-22 | What happens when you're a huge fan of early 90's low budget action tv shows, and you decide you want to make a game that combines that with the gameplay of games like Dragon's Lair or Space Ace? Well, you get Wirehead, a very late to the party Sega CD title, that's chock full of silly humor, explosions, and a main character that angrily stares at you when you make incorrect choices.Wirehead was a ton of fun, and I ended up playing it far longer than I was originally planning, which is why it's being uploaded at 2:30 AM on a Tuesday, rather than being ready first thing Monday morning. Oops. Take a look, and definitely check this one out if you're not allergic to pixels.Chapters0:00 Intro3:58 A look at the package7:56 Gameplay/Review20:56 Final ThoughtsTwitter: twitter.com/zilognmotohost (for me) twitter.com/ZilogAndMoto (for channel specific notifications)Email: zilogandmoto@gmail.com#retro #retrogaming #sega #segacd #megacd #zilogandmoto #playthrough #gameplay #gamereview #wirehead
