The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
The Amiga was the source of a great number of excellent titles that were ported to the Genesis. Gremlin Graphiics’ Zool; Ninja of the Nth Dimension was a game that stealthily made its way to Sega’s console during the mascot platformer craze of the early ’90s. It was successful enough to warrant a sequel, but is it really that good? Read on and see!
Primal Rage capitalized on the digitized, gory brawlers that were popular in the ’90s. It’s got a decent premise and lots of blood, and the gameplay appealed to a decent amount of fighting fans. That being said, was it really necessary to release a 32X version? Did the extra hardware make a difference?
Genesis gaming is alive and well! This past March, the 2012 German Mega Drive Championship took place in Hanau, marking the sixth consecutive year that the event has been held. Gamers of all ages flocked to test their 16-bit mettle and battle fiercely for prizes donated by Sega Europe itself!
Gamers itching to play Genesis via emulation can get closer to the real thing by using converters to plug in real controllers. RetroZone makes one called the RetroPort that lets all sorts of controllers and sticks work on computers, and it’s even compatible with modern game consoles.
Just about every cartoon character has had a video game, so why not Woody Woodpecker? Some time with this poor title is all one needs to find out. Just about everything is below expectations, and the result is a classic example of great ideas being poorly implemented. But hey, at least it lives up to its name!
