The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
June 19, 2005 marked the fourteenth birthday of that mascot of mascots, Sonic The Hedgehog. Sega-16 kicked off a week-long celebration of everything hedgehog with some great content for your enjoyment, including a new “History of” article and a “Sega Stars” feature on Yuji Naka. For starters, enjoy a review of the Genesis’ only Sonic compilation, the Sonic Classics.
King of shmups? Best on the Genesis, or best overall? You’ll have to decide for yourself whether or not Lightening Force (Thunder Force IV) truly is all it’s been hyped up to be, and to help you out, we’ve cooked up this handy little review!
Some consider Gaiares to be overrated, and others consider it to be a classic. Released as one of the seemingly endless barrage of shmups in 1990, it still sparks controversy.
Fans of Take Two’s Major League Baseball 2K5 may or may not remember that the series has its roots in BlueSky Software’s incredible World Series Baseball franchise, which had several installments on the Genesis before reaching the pinnacle of perfection with World Series Baseball ’98 on the Saturn.
During the 16-bit era, it was normal practice for Sega to release home versions of their arcade hits that were almost different games altogether. This was seen in Moonwalker and Shadow Dancer. Another game to receive the treatment was ESWAT: City under Siege.
