ALT Target Earth clean artwork used on the cover of the Sega Genesis release in North America as well as for advertising. Image depicts a giant humanoid mech holding and firing a weapon upwards while letting a massive trail of fire from its jet pack. In the background a planet that seems to be Earth can be seen on the lower left with the moon further back. There's a huge green spacecraft firing in different directions behind the mech with smaller ones scattered around. Another mech can be seen to the right with some silver small spacecrafts nearby, one of them exploding. A starry space composes the rest of the picture.
35 years ago, I was having a whale of a time with Konami's The Simpsons. The first game based on what was fast becoming a TV phenomenon, this four-player beat 'em up was great fun to play and looked as much like the cartoon as any game could back then. A multiplayer classic!
RUN SABER for the SNES (Horisoft/Atlus/1993) has this cool scene where you hang on an 'infected' F-16, very over the top.
The game is an homage to Capcom’s Strider, featuring fluid controls, neat visuals, and two-player co-op.
It's an SNES exclusive title and often featured in 'hidden gem' lists.

The Taito WOWOW: The Cancelled Satellite Console That Never Was 🚀
Back in 1992, arcade giant Taito teamed up with ASCII and JSB (owners of the WOWOW satellite channel) to create something revolutionary. The Taito WOWOW was a CD-ROM based console designed to download arcade-perfect ports of Taito hits like Darius, Bubble Bobble, and Parasol Stars straight to your home via satellite(!).
It used modified arcade hardware for near-identical quality, with games streamed or stored in the receiver’s memory. A prototype was shown at the Tokyo Toy Show, but technical hurdles (slow download speeds, high costs, error correction) and market challenges led to its quiet cancellation.
A bold vision of on-demand gaming years ahead of its time. Proof that Taito dreamed big! What do you think could it have changed the ’90s console wars?
