Here are some Genesis reviews I've been working on for a while. Dracula is an update. Demolition Man is a pleasant surprise, and Prime Time is anything but.

I haven't heard about the other two games but Demolition Man I've been playing for years. The game was a gift for like my 8th or 9th birthday when I was a kid and I played it a ton during that time. I always had trouble with the subway when I was a kid (like level 4 or 5) and could never beat it. I picked it up again a year or two ago and my opinion hadn't changed, the game is still awesome. I have the genesis and sega cd versions (both are dirt cheap). There is no real difference between the two games except the music, I believe. The only thing that bothers me is how easy it is to plummet to your death in the future stages.There is one stage with the ladders all over the place and if you miss a jump you lose your life and have to start all over. This is definitely a game that benefits from you taking your time to make sure you don't just run in guns a blazing. I think your review hit it spot on.

Demolition Man is one of those hidden gems that's a pleasant surprise, but it is very though in spots and you have to sometimes take a careful approach.
The Sega-CD version of the game also features clips from the film between levels.

Demolition Man
Is a true hidden gem. First time I played it I couldn't put it down for a few days. The music and sound effects are some of the best on the Genesis (Tommy Tallarico) to thanks for this. The gameplay is dynamic and the pace seems to never let up. The challenge is fair and most should be able to finish the game with a little perseverance. My only minor gripe is sometimes the developers didn't make the most out of the Genesis color pallet but that's easier said then done. Criminally underrated and the definitive version is on the Genesis. The Snes got one of those looks the same/tad better controls sluggish more slowdown ports. Also in this case worse sound effects and music. The CD port pisses me off just because the stage 1 music loops every 30 seconds wtf!
NFL Prime Time Starring Deion Sanders
Uses the same engine as NFL 95' and NFL 98'. I like these games a little bit more then the critic does. Still they are a letdown after the superb NFL 94' Starring Joe Montana which was easily the best football game of the 16-bit era. Why Sega decided to switch the developers after 94' is beyond me. I would have loved to see what Blue Sky could have done in the following years.
