The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Known for his work on over 150 Magic: The Gathering cards, Dungeons and Dragons source books, and scores of other brands, artist Randy Gallegos is now bringing his own history with gaming to a series called “Hearts for Hardware,” creating art based on his particular experiences and impressions with the hobby.
Brett Weiss’s Classic Home Video Games book series offers short and sweet entries on the complete libraries of some of gaming’s most famous consoles. The third volume in the series covers the Genesis, TurboGrafx-16, and Neo Geo; and it serves as an excellent reference for game historians and newcomers to gaming alike.
DotEmu and Lizardcube are hard at work on a full HD remake of of the Master System and TG-16 classic Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap. They recently released a new trailer, giving us our first glimpse of what to expect, but there are also a lot of other interesting tidbits of information that we’ve compiled for you! Read on and see how this one is shaping up.
The Master System is not known for a wide selection of RPGs, but some actually get passed over in favor of more recognized titles. Miracle Warriors is such title, having spent decades in the shadows of Phantasy Star and Ys. While it is far from their level of quality, there is actually a decent game under some unforgiving RPG mechanics.
On the Mega Drive, Sega began offering downloadable games via its MegaNet service. Robot Battler was among the titles released, but it offered little satisfaction compared to some of the other titles. Today, what novelty it has is gone, and the actual game is perhaps better left as a footnote in the company’s history.
