Beginning in January, Sega-16 begins coverage of SG-1000, Master System, and Game Gear titles! We’ve covered much of the vast Genesis library, and we’re eager to begin exploring other parts of Sega’s history. Got a Power Base Converter? Thought Game Gear was as good as Game Boy? Then come along for the ride!

16-Bit Books: Mega Drive/Genesis: Collected Works
Genesis owners finally have the book they’ve been waiting for. With tons of art and interviews, the Mega Drive/Genesis: Collected Works is a feast for the eyes and a tome of wonder for fans of Sega’s most successful console.
Teasers: Watermelon’s Project Y
Four long years after the incredible Pier Solar, Watermelon Games has returned with a new Genesis game! Code-named Project Y, this beat-’em-up looks to offer awesome visuals, lots of characters, and some deep gameplay. Details are sparse, but there’s more than enough to whet your appetite!
Liberty or Death
Koei was the master of the console strategy sim, and there’s one game in its catalog that actually lets players relive the American Revolution. Deep and engaging, the game also requires almost as much time as the war itself did, so those easily intimidated by tons of variables and long, drawn-out conflicts should perhaps just declare themselves conscientious objectors instead.
Teasers: It Came from the Desert
While It Came from the Desert has been available as freeware and in reproduction form for a while now, it’s finally getting the licensed treatment denied to it back in 1990. Developer Cinemaware is partnering with Pier Solar creators Watermelon to give the game the full physical release treatment for Christmas 2014. Another lost Genesis title finally comes home!
