The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Every gamer has had a game that simply took him to task. Mind-bending difficulty, a nasty boss – all of them were enough to make a person rip out his hair. Thank goodness for Galoob’s Game Genie! A neat little game enhancer that had limited converter cart abilities in addition to thousands of codes for hundreds of games, its functionality is only equalled by its versatility. Fourteen years after its release, gamers are still coming up with new codes. How’s that for staying power?
Chances are, you’ve at one time or another wanted to escape the confines of your Genesis pad’s cord. While not short by any means, it can still be more restrictive than it should.

Perhaps then, you should give Sega’s Remote Arcade System a shot, as it’s by far one of the best wireless controllers to come out during the 16-bit period. And just to get you all giddy inside, we’ve got a full review of it in the latest installment of Sega Gear.

Unfortunately, it seems that the 16-bit generation overall didn’t pay much attention to them, as both the Menacer and its SNES counterpart, the Super Scope, received only a handful of games in total. Despite the small library, there are some good games out there, like T2: the Arcade Game and Body Count. So, is it worth tracking down a Menacer for your console?
