The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
The Genesis saw its fair share of computer ports, especially of the Amiga kind, due to the similarities in hardware. Psygnosis took great advantage of this easy avenue in porting, and it released many of its wares on the console. It was also one of the few developers to embrace the then-struggling Sega CD, and a good portion of its catalogue appeared there as well. Puggsy was one such title, and it received a cg-rendered introduction, as well as an enhanced soundtrack.
Core Design was a heavy supporter of the Genesis, and it brought that support to the Sega CD. Together with Virgin Games, Core ported its cartridge platformer Chuck Rock, adding in some cut scenes and a new soundtrack. Aside from these minor difference, however, the game essentially remained the same. Is it worth buying over the cartridge version?
Jurassic Park CD is a decidedly different take on the franchise. Going the point-and-click route, it was a fresh experience that forced gamers to think instead of shoot, and any misstep could result in a quick death. Read on and see why there’s yet one more game that should be in your Sega CD library.
A while back, staff writer Rodger Swan reviewed Bram Stoker’s Dracula for the Sega CD. You have to commend him for having a strong enough stomach to sit through such a thing, and the same can be said for his willingness to tackle yet another Dracula game. This time, it’s Dracula Unleashed, and it’s actually not half bad. Check out his full review, but just be sure to cover your neck.
Digital Pictures turned out a ton of full motion video games on the Sega CD. In fact, it’s usually the genre most people remember first when they think of the much-maligned add-on. In an era where multi-media was all the rage, FMV achieved heights it has never attained since. Double Switch was a later DP release that was eventually ported to the Saturn and PCs, and it starred none other than fading ’80s star Corey Haim, who once stated that he wanted to be known as “Sega Boy.” Yeah, that Corey Haim.
