Teasers: Soviet Borgs
The Soviet Borgs are here to free you from your freedom! Along the way, they’ll shoot just about everything they see. Xenocider developer Retro Samus is back with a new Genesis title, and we got to try out an early version. The game looks promising so far, and it looks like a lot of exploration and shooting action for 16-bit fans.
Sasha Darko’s Sacred Line II
Sasha Darko returns with the second entry in the Sacred Line series, and it’s a step up from the original. Sacred Line II brings creepy visual horror to the Genesis in a much larger fashion than the original game, and it’s definitely a title worth playing during the Halloween season.
Resident Evil: Code: Veronica
Dreamcast owners got a special treat when Capcom gave them the exclusive next chapter in the Resident Evil saga. Code: Veronica brought 3D environments and big upgrades to the established gameplay, and while it stumbles a bit over its aging mechanics, it manages one hell of a ride. If you have a Dreamcast, then you simply have to own this game.
Zombie Revenge
In 1999, Sega expanded on its House of the Dead series with an solid beat-’em-up that came to Dreamcast the following year. Chock full of extras, Zombie Revenge was fun for a while, especially with a second player. It’s a little bare if you’re planning a long gaming session, but there’s enough fun to be had fending off the undead.
