The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Sonic CD zooms onto major platforms this month, finally giving fans the version they’ve been wanting for years. Beautiful to look at and full of extras, this is the version that should please mobile gamers. Read on and see why it’s perhaps the best $1.99 you’ll spend this month.
A neat little game released for the Genesis modem in Japan, Aworg manages to be fun despite its flaws. The sparse presentation is thankfully overcome by great level design and challenging gameplay, something maze/puzzle fans will appreciate. It might not be the most complex game around, but it’s one that’s worth spending some time with.
For more than a decade Michael Lubuguin was a part of Electronic Arts as it grew from a small PC publisher into a software powerhouse. He saw its rise and had a hand in creating several classic games for the Genesis, including Road Rash, the Strike series, and Crüe Ball.
Long before there was Mortal Kombat, Razorsoft had the violent game market cornered on the Genesis. Death Duel is among the games it released that somehow made it past censors, and while it’s never horrific in its gore, there certainly is a lot of blood to go around. And it’s fun to boot!
Namco’s 1989 arcade racer Four Trax came to the Genesis as Quad Challenge, and while it’s not a bad racer to spend some time with, it pales next to other games available at the time. Plain visuals and a dearth of gameplay options leave little meat on the bones of what was most likely the first ATV game on consoles.
