The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Everyone has their own opinion about the 32X. Love it or hate it, it’s an important piece of Sega’s history. Always looking for the full story, Sega-16 recently interviewed Toshiyasu Morita, a technical director at Sega of America, who was involved with the development and release of the little mushroom. He also had a hand in such titles as Doom 32X and the Genesis classic Zombies Ate My Neighbors.
The Sega Genesis has a great little library of children’s titles, and what better way to indoctrina… I mean, educate the newest generation of potential Genesis gamers than with ponies? Think about it… PONIES! Check out the full review and try to keep an open mind.
Fans of Revenge of Shinobi and the Streets of Rage series undoubtably point to the soundtracks of the Genesis classics as a big part of what made them so special. In fact, when you think about famous musical scores on Sega’s little black box, one name comes up more than any other: Yuzo Koshiro. He’s been behind some of gaming’s greatest music for over two decades, and he’s still going strong. Sega-16 managed to track him down recently for a quick interview, where he talked about his work on the Genesis and why Streets of Rage fans are going to be sad pandas for quite some time.
War games are supposed to be fun, action-packed, and adrenaline pumping. Pick any of those, divide it by two, and you still have more to offer than Caliber .50. When you find yourself staring at the screen in anger yelling “MOVE, DAMN YOU!” there’s obviously something unRambo-like about the main character.
Like beat-’em-ups? Beaten every Streets of Rage more times than you can count? If you’re wondering which brawler to turn to next, there’s always Kaneko’s DJ Boy. It may not be high on the list of games that come to mind, but it’s… out there. Keep your expectations low and you just might be surprised.
