The way how I will choose the games i by starting from when they were first released. In Japan, it was released in October 29, 1988, but when it came out in the US, it was launched on August of 1989. So, if you happen to look at the instructions manual, and happen to look at both years from the manual and the game, always look at the Japanese release first. I have to be honest and say that I never knew just how old the Genesis was till I looked up the dates of these games. The only reason for why I bring this up is simply because that the graphics are impressive for something that was released in 1988, the music is well written and played. The controls, on the other hand, is not a walk in the park. For one of the first SEGA Genesis games ever release, SEGA really did pull off some controls that you do need to get use to. But when you do get use to it, it becomes way to easy, way too fast. All you are doing is just flying on a helicopter, going in a straight direction, towards the screen, and holding down the x button, shooting tanks and enemy helicopters. So there really isn't that much of a challenge to it. 2/5 Not the best game on the collection, but it was a great introduction of its time for the new era of 16 bit, and what the SEGA Genesis was capable of handling.
