The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
In the last installment of MEGA Bites, we mentioned that the green light was given for a novelization of the Data East laser disc game (and Sega-16 favorite) Road Avenger. As major fans of the game, we weren’t content with mere news blurbs, and we managed to pry author Mary Margaret Park away from her writing long enough to get the lowdown on this interesting take on the property. Read our full interview for all the details, and no, the book won’t come with a copy of the theme song.
Sega recently gave us another helping of Genesis love with the release of Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. We spent some time with the latter version, and after putting it through its paces (and getting all the achievements!), we’ve come away… less than impressed. This isn’t a bad collection by any means, but it’s also not a new one. Let’s just put it this way: those of you who still own a copy of the 2006 Sega Genesis Collection for the Playstation 2 might want to think twice about trading it in.
MEGA Bites is back with a smattering of news from around the Genesis universe. Just enough to fill you up, this latest installment has some interesting details on the impending release of OutRun 2SP on Xbox Live Arcade and Playstation Store, Genesis emulators for your iPod, as well as… a Road Avenger novel? I kid you not! Head on over and read the full article for your dose of Genesis news!
Lots of bullets and lots of enemies to kill – those are the two defining elements of this classic genre that’s amply represented on the Genesis. We’ve put all the available games into one handy article, so read on and see what’s available!
The response to our Genre Spotlight articles has been tremendous. I’m glad that everyone appreciates the effort and love that goes into each of them, and I hope to eventually have one for each genre (including platformers!). In the meantime, why not sate your fix with our latest installment, the RPG Round Up? You know you want to.
