Product ReviewsGain Ground (Sega Genesis, 1991)

Hidden Treasure

Gain ground is a somewhat obscure title for the genesis that most people have been rediscovering on the various genesis game compilations.
The game has you playing through 5 rounds of various stages in a classic arcade style, and using your various characters to kill enemies, and rescue fallen characters and new characters by bringing them to the stage exit.
The game has loads of depth that becomes obvious shortly after you begin playing. The characters all have different properties and weapons, and you need to use them properly for the right situations. Some characters can hit enemies above/below you, others cannot. Some are fast, have long range or even can cause various effects on enemies such as stun.

The game is excellent for single or two players.
Easily one of the best games on the Genesis.Read full review...

Gain Ground worth your time!

Gain Ground is a mix between a shooter, role playing game, and a strategy game. WHen I first bought this game I was disappointed with the overall game play and speed of the characters. As time advanced I found that the speed of game created a large portion of the difficulty. As you advance through the game you have the opportunity to save 30-40 different types of characters all with unique moves and abilities. Collecting members for your Gain Ground team is the best part of this game. When one of your members died, you have an opportunity to save them but if you die a second time, that team member is officially dead. All in All this game is a great addition to any Sega Genesis collection and don't let the arcade port scare you away from this gem. Of course the arcade version is better but the home version is certainly just as entertaining.Read full review...
