Shinobi 3 Overview:
Joe Musashi (code name Shinobi) of the Oboro School of Ninjutsu has long been in a struggle against the forces of evil. Years ago, the nemesis of the Oboro school, the Neo Zeed organization, was defeated by Shinobi, It's leaders killed or put in prison, and its criminal activities stopped cold.
Joe Musashi decides to return to Japan and recuperate after the battle in Neo City. But while he is training in the mountains of Japan, working to improve his already formidable Ninja techniques, the Neo Zeed leaders are secretly rebuilding their organization. Shinobi senses the evil power growing and starts to make his way back to fight this new danger.

Neo Zeed's minions have been ordered to stop Shinobi at all costs. The rewards they've promised - riches and power. The punishment for failure - slow, agonizing torture and death at the fangs and claws of Neo Zeed's war demons. The stakes are the highest yet, and you as Joe Musashi - Shinobi - you know that unless you succeed, the world will fall into clutches of Neo Zeed ! You must not fail!

Road Rash Overview:
Road Rash was one of my favorite games on the Genesis. I never owned a copy, but a buddy of mine did. We used to play Road Rash until his parents would finally make us go outside and play. It was very addictive. What kept me going was the ability to win money and spend it on new bikes and what not. I also liked knocking people on the ground while going a hundred miles an hour by kicking, punching, or even hitting them with a chain or club you stole from them. They even had a life bar for each person so it wasn't that easy to knock em off. Sometimes you had to fight with them for a while before they would fall. You always have to be careful of the fuzz though. If you fall off your bike while a cop is near, he will bust you and charge you a rather hefty fine. This is a real bummer since you need that money to get better bikes. Road Rash is quite a fun game and I suggest you give it a try!


Road Rash Directions:
Race and fight your way to the top. Just don't forget to spend your cash on new bikes so you can stay ahead of the competition. Oh yea, watch out for the cops too!
