If you’re one of those gamers who likes to follow the old school releases coming from Retro-Bit Publishing, then today was a big day. That’s because the company just announced their next two games, both of which are available for pre-order right now. In case you haven’t heard, we’re getting a pair of Genesis games from famed developer Wolfteam. This includes both the space shoot ‘em up Sol-Deace and the cinematic action/platformer El Viento. On top of both games coming to Europe for the first time ever, they also offer some cool extras, including a dual-sided poster for Sol-Deace and a reversible cover allowing you to choose between the American and Japanese artwork.
That’s genuinely pretty cool, but the question remains: Are either of these two games worth playing? To answer that question, I decided to flip through the pages of Electronic Gaming Monthly, Mega Play, GamePro and more classic magazines to see what the critics said back when these games first came out. So, make like the wind and get ready for excitement, because it’s time for an explosive episode of the Retro-Bit Review Crew.
