Genesis version

Whoever thought of this game was a lunatic

The Good
The main character was sort of interesting, despite his weird sideburns.

The Bad
Aside from the multitude of minor problems, there is one, main issue. WHO THOUGHT OF BASING A GENESIS GAME ON ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS? It is the worst translation ever. Rock, Pa... etc. is a game of either chance or advanced psychological calculations. The computer thoroughly rules out the second possibility, so it's off to infuriation land (or the Enchanted Castle) to develop a "knack" for defeating your enemies.

The Bottom Line
Don't play it, don't associate with it. If I were you, I'd instead invest in something safe, like tetris. You are warned.
