The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Farmed out to several developers, the Mickey Mouse titles don’t constitute a franchise per se, as none of the games are related in any sense. Moreover, the only thing any of them have in common is the fact that they all star Mickey. This is perhaps the main reason for the varying levels of quality we find among them. Regardless, these are all games worthy of mention. Thus, in honor of Mickey Mouse’s 76th birthday, Sega-16 looks back on all of his adventures in 16-bit.
The Shining series is alive and well, with perhaps the best release since Shining Force III on the Saturn. The newest game, Shining Force NEO, is a solid action/RPG, and while it may not be the classic Force game we all wanted, it’s an incredible game in its own right. Read our write up and see why Sega still has a few tricks up its sleeve.
This month marks the tenth anniversary of the Nomad’s release! Sure, we all love it, but it turned out to be, how can I put this…”less” than was expected. Join Sega-16 as we take a look at why it was destined to failure from the start.
Sega-16 will be examining games related to these holidays as the year progresses, beginning with everyone’s favorite spooky celebration: Halloween. In my eyes, Halloween is a day to be observed in three ways: dressing up like a fool, stuffing yourself silly with candy, and playing something scary. This is ironically one of the Genesis’ stronger themes, as holidays go, as there are quite a large number of horror and fright-orientated titles available.
It’s always wonderful fun to talk about soundtracks, and the debate always rages as to which are the best on the Genesis. Everyone has their favorites, which makes choosing a top ten risky business. So, why not talk about them all? Join us as we take a look at the first batch in Legacy of the Z80 Sound Chip.
