Released 1994 Also For Android, PlayStation, PlayStation 3, PSP, PS Vita, SEGA CD, SNES Mickey Mania was released for the Sega Megadrive in 1994 and whilst not as good as Castle of Illusion it is still a classic game.

Developed by Sega AM7 R&D Division Released Mar 17, 1994 Also For iPhone, Wii, Windows Released in late 1994 Streets of Rage 3 was the final game in the legendary series and despite being a decent game it is easily my least favourite of the 3.

The graphics are superb…
