Zool 2 – Atari Jaguar
This is one of the best 2-D ninja goose-and-lamp murdering platformers I’ve ever encountered. But back in 1994, “64-bits” were supposed to look like a bunch of yucky polygons. A safe distance from the ’90s, does ‘Zool 2’ hold up? This reviewer thinks it’s a damn fine pepperoni pizza.

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? Or is it possible that the first entry was nothing more than a brief blue streak on the board of gaming achievements? Find out in this review of Sonic the Hedgehog!
