Classic Game Room was the FIRST classic video game review show on the Internet in 1999. Returning in 2008 with new episodes, Classic Game Room breaks out a review of DEATH DUEL for the 16 bit Sega Genesis Mega Drive video game console. This is an interesting MD game and claims to not be a “standard shooter”. It certainly is not a first person shooter, or even the trendy third person shooter. It’s more like an Atari game juiced up for the Megadrive with simple gameplay, easy to learn controls and fancy, funky fresh rap style hip hop beats. Death Duel is a game where you face off against other alien and robotic opponents in duels to the death. This is a fairly obscure game on the 16-bit Genesis but a very fun and entertaining one. Fight your opponents with an arsenal of weapons including machine guns, lasers, spinners, grenades, land mines, missiles and homing rockets. Win money by destroying the life forms on various planets. Spend the money on guns. Hooray for Death Duel, a very bizarre yet strangely addictive and enjoyable game. I would not expect to see a remake of this on PS3 Playstation 3, PS2, Wii or Xbox 360 Live Arcade XBLA any time soon. I think this game has been sadly lost to history. I paid .50 for it at a used CD store. Classic Game Room was the original classic video game review show on the Internet in 1999-2000, now on DVD. The reviews on the HD series are reviewing PS3, PS2, Genesis, NES, Atari and Xbox 360. XBLA. videos review reviews show wii trailer
That’s why I love the 16 bit era, because of goofy, cheesy stuff like this.
god I used to love this game =) brining back childhood memories ….. it sucks getting older =(
Man this game has style. we need games like this again.
LOVW THE AUTO TONE in the beginning LOL
I was a sales associate at Electronics Boutique when this game was released. What’s funny is that EB paid to release this game as an “EB exclusive!” We were to be the only game store with Death Duel, and we had display boxes all over our front 4-way display a full week in advance advertising the game. But then… oops. Turns out that copies got shipped to all of our competitors, too. So we were told to take the display down the day it was released. And then… I don’t think we sold any, anyway.
Sounds like a cheese fun game..great Review
Damn, i got this game free!! I haven’t even played it b/c i thought it was gonna be a mech game or something and I don’t care for those! But i got the game with the box and manual….good to see some gore in it too!
This game looks great!
The track at 5:20 sounds like Blue Monday by New Order.
