They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. If that is true, then The Legend of Zelda must be beet-red right now. Atlus’ Crusader of Centy is a direct homage to Nintendo’s classic franchise, but with a few twists to avoid a lawsuit. It’s still a great game, and we have a full review to tell you why.
Reviews
Phantasy Star II
First among great 16-bit RPGs, the monster that is Phantasy Star II still intimidates gamers to this day. It’s massive quest and brutal difficulty sometimes overshadow what is a downright awesome game. You need to play this one, friends. Luckily for you, we have a review to get you in the mood!
Knuckles Chaotix
After appearing in two consecutive Genesis releases, Knuckles the Echidna got a game of his own on the 32X. Many people consider Knuckles Chaotix to be unpolished lacking in certain areas, and that begs the question: is it worth playing? Read our full review and find out.
Dark Castle
Dark Castle is perhaps the one game where rejection is near-unanimous. Horrible gameplay and design combine to produce one of the few titles ever awarded the lowest possible score we can give.
Sonic Classics
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.
