Sega-16 has spoken to both presidents of Sega of America from the Genesis era, and we’re not quite done yet!

Gametek will probably always be remembered for inundating the gaming scene with game show releases. Truthfully, I think the bargain bins in Toys R Us still hold sealed copies of Jeopardy! for the Sega CD. The remarkable thing is that when you take a closer look, there are only a handful of game show releases for the Genesis and its add-ons. We’ve rounded them up for you in mini edition of Genre Spotlight, so read on and see if any of them are worth your time.

Capcom has been on a tear lately, reviving several old franchises for current consoles. One series that’s been given special attention is Commando, with both Bionic Commando and MERCS receiving upgrades for both the Playstation Network and Xbox Live Arcade. Being the inquisitive nuts that we are, we cornered Commando 3: Wold of the Battlefield associate producer Rey Jimenez for some details behind the new game released this past June.
