Sonic the Hedgehog – Sega Genesis
Sonic is a name that is nearly synonymous with so many aspects of video game history, from the 16-bit console wars to famous mascots. He is a beloved character that has won a place in the hearts of millions. Over the years this mighty icon has fallen to the darkest depths of bargain-bin gaming, stuck in the shadow of his former glory. As such it is only proper to remember him for the good days. The 90’s. When Sonic was king. And now, ZB is going to take it all the way back to the beginning, when the famous blue hedgehog burst onto the scene. We’re talking the first Sonic the Hedgehog for Sega Genesis. Is it the perfect shining gem of a game we have all thought it to be?

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link – NES
Zelda II The Adventure of Link is typically the recipient of much undeserved criticism. Undue censure is bound to target anything that stands out from the crowd, and with that said it only makes sense that Zelda II would find itself in the crosshairs of the public eye. At the time, The Legend of Zelda had recently graced the Nintendo Entertainment System with substantial praise, so expectations were high. When Nintendo gave us something new and different, reactions were mixed. Some adored this fresh entry in the series, some reviled it. Whatever stance you take on the Zelda II debate, ZB would like a moment of your attention in order to discuss the finer points of Zelda II The Adventure of Link.
