Sega-16 loves its games; that’s a fact no one will deny. Heck, we’ll even play the stinkers, just so we can spread the word about how bad they are! That’s why our Reader Roundtable feature is so popular. There’s nothing like seeing what your fellow gamers are playing, even when the games suck! This month’s installment is pretty balanced though, so why not check it out and have some fun? Enjoy!

Interview: Konstantin Othmer (Catapult VP of Product Dev.)

July 27, 2007 by Ken Horowitz 0 comments

Catapult wasn’t the first company to try and bring online gaming to consoles, but it was the one that actually turned it into something viable. If not for the Xband, we might not have seen SegaNet, or later on Xbox Live and the Playstation Network. Catapult was the first to make playing against someone long distance a concept that was actually workable on consoles, and many Genesis fans have fond memories of playing Mortal Kombat and NBA Jam over their phone lines. Recently, Sega-16 chatted with Catapult’s former Vice President of Software Development, Konstantin Othmer, and he had much to say about the company and its famous product.

Sega Download: Genesis Live Arcade Vol. 01

July 17, 2007 by Ken Horowitz 0 comments

After months and months of rumors and speculation, Sega finally announced its support of Xbox Live Arcade last week at E3. While the initial offerings are slim (only two games), the mere fact that we’ll now be getting plenty of Genesis goodness on our Xbox 360s is reason enough for Segaphiles to be happy. We’re celebrating the news with a brand new article series. Genesis Live Arcade will serve as a sister article to our current Genesis Virtual Console series and will continue to bring our hands-on recommendations about the newest games each month as they’re released. We kick things off with a report on the first two games available: Golden Axe (arcade) and Sonic The Hedgehog. Read the full article and see if these two are worth your Microsoft points!
