Welcome to another installment of Head Off, where we look at games so bad, bizarre or beaten up, you just might flip your lid! These are all titles that Alex has graciously provided me with in order to tortu in order for me to review them. And I have to say, I really did flip my lid over this batch, since not only were there some incredibly bad and incredibly weird games, but he even included a few decent titles whose only problem was incompleteness. There were so many extra games, though, that we won’t have time to look at them all at once. One game, Switch for the Mega CD, I’d like to devote a full review and walkthrough to (but it won’t be a Head Off article since the reviews featured in here are really just first impressions… because I can’t stand to play most of these games long enough for a full review). Likewise, I’ll be holding off on reviewing the decent titles for now. This time around, I’d like to focus on the good old crap! So what are we waiting for? Let’s dig in!

Another game I received FOC from Kevin and Alex…

Visuals look a little dated now but it is 21 years old- back in the day this would have looked great…

Enjoy.

Thanks to Kevin and Alex I received this game FOC- here’s my mini review in return.

Once again- thanks chaps.

Enjoy…

Here’s a quirky Japanese exclusive for the Mega Drive- nice graphics with quite large sprites but as you will tell I’m yet to master the moves! The sound effects arent anything fantastic, some of them seem to be recycled.

Worth picking up though- if not just for the fantastic cover art!

Enjoy…
