A while back we interviewed some of the PBC Productions cast and crew of the awesome New Adventures of Captain S, a Sega-themed take on the old Captain N cartoons from the ’80s. Season one has been wrapped up, and it’s now available for purchase on DVD! Staff writer Carl-Johan Brax got his hands on a copy, and he’s produced a full write up of the series and all its bonus material. Be sure to check out the full hands-on and see if this one’s worth adding to your movie library.
Sonic is undoubtedly the one character who is synonymous with the Genesis. He was born there, and his four games were responsible for making Sega the powerhouse it was during thr 16-bit era. His final true Genesis outing (no, Sonic 3D Blast doesn’t count!) was Sonic & Knuckles, which boasted some cool lock-on powers that added more gameplay to each of the previous games. Of all of them, perhaps its interaction with Sonic 3 is most memorable, or at least it is to staff writer Vince Thornburg. In the latest installment of Double Take, Vince reminds us just how awesome it was to link up the two cartridges and behold all the hedgehog goodness contained therein. Check it out!
Some more news has arisen in Genesis Land, including some details on a possible (and dare I say, exciting?) new Sonic game that looks like it might ease the pain of Sega’s past transgressions with its mascot. The now-trademarked Sonic Unleashed is just one of the stories covered in the latest installment of MEGA Bites, which also has some great news on SVP Chip emulation, Space Harrier for Atari fans, and oh yeah, a brand new Geneis RPG called Pier Solar. Interested? Then read the full article and check it out!

Kick off your weekend with volume #28 of the series and get to playing some 16-bit goodness.
There’s probably no other Sega topic that spurs such a debate as the 32X. You either love or hate the darn thing, and such feelings usually run deep. Even among the hallowed halls of Sega-16, controversy rages, and our own staff members have their opinions about the little-mushroom-that-couldn’t.
