The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
As we round out another year of coverage, Sega-16 continues to grow and improve. The past year has brought little controversy to our little section of the web, something for which we are quite grateful, and this has let us maintain focus on bringing the best Genesis coverage possible. Join us as we give our thoughts on the past 12 months.
Later this month, the best Mega Drive players in Portugal will come together to determine who is the best among them. Prizes and kudos are waiting to be claimed, and we have a short glimpse into what to expect from this year’s championships! We urge our PAL friends to register and compete if they can!
