The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
A bunch of new Genesis games have found their way to the Wii Store, and we’ve gone through them to see which is worth your $8 and which aren’t. There’s a particularly large group of releases this time around, so check out our full article to find out what your best bets are!
You’d think that after everything he’s been through, after all his near-death experiences with dinosaurs, Dr. Alan Grant would stay as far the hell away from remote islands as possible. Apparently, he must has some deep, subconscious attraction to them, because he keeps going back for more. In Jurassic Park: Rampage Edition, the good doctor is actually trying to save the vicious reptiles from InGen thugs. The beloved raptor also makes a return, and with new graphics and equipment, it’s a whole new adventure in the most dangerous place on Earth.
Virgin Interactive, together with Disney Software, produced some of the most solid platformers on the Genesis, racking up such hits as Aladdin, and The Lion King. One title that flew under the radar of many gamers was The Jungle Book. Some may say that it takes more than a few pages from Aladdin, but they’d have things backwards. Programming guru David Perry stopped work on Jungle Book to tackle the famous game, and he brought a lot of its gameplay elements with him. Unfortunately, it was released afterward and eventually got lost among a wave of quality games that arrived in 1994. Anyone who’s a fan of either of the aformentioned Disney hits should give it a try.
The Wii may still be scarce in stores, but there’s plenty of Genesis goodness available for download on the Virtual Console. Sega-16 staff writer Tom Briggs takes a look at the latest releases for Nintendo’s fledgling service, and gives you the low down on what you should be playing. Is there anything worth downloading?
Sega-16 follows each of the stars who made their debut on the Genesis, no matter where time and new technology may take them. No star in Sega’s line up is brighter than Sonic The Hedgehog, and the wiley little mammal has had more than his fair share of disappointments since making the transition to 3D. The good news is that Sonic & the Secret Rings on the Nintendo Wii may change all that.
