The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
This week has been almost all lovin’ for Beggar Prince, and what would our coverage be without an edition of Reader Roundtable? Our staff and some of our readers who purchased the game share their thoughts about this great new RPG in volume eight, and hopefully this will be enough to convince you fence-sitters to get up and buy one of the remaining copies!
Now that Beggar Prince is in people’s homes, what’s next on the agenda for Super Fighter Team? Are they already working on another game? Might we yet see a release of ChuanPu’s Shining Force-esque strategy/RPG Fengshen Yingjiechuan? Sega-16 sat down for some Q&A with the man with the answers, Brandon Cobb.
Genesis fans sure do love their shumps. As one of the richest genres on the console, there’s no shortage of great games to play. The Sega CD continued this tradition with excellent original entries like Android Assault and Robo Aleste. It also had its share of ports, and one of the more controversial titles was Hudson’s Lords of Thunder. Long held to be inferior to the Super CD-ROM2 original, we’ve put them through their paces to determine which is the superior version.
If there’s one thing gamers can’t stand, it’s a deal just beyond reach at a garage sale because of a demanding seller. We all know him: that owner who just refuses to haggle and is willing to not make a sale at all rather than come down a few bucks. What do you do in that situation? Why, you take matters into your own hands and fight to the death for the goods! The newest entry in our popular fan fiction series Stories from the Book of Genesis has one such case. Read on and see what it really means to find games “in the wild!”
People enjoy their Genesis all over the world, but right here in America there are some places where you can find some great games at decent prices. In a new feature series about Genesis gaming across the world, Sega-16 starts off right at home in the American Midwest. In our first installment of Genesis Around the World, we look at Slacker’s CDs & Games, which is a great place for the discerning retro gamer to find some great games.
