Power Factory Featuring C+C Music Factory

June 8, 2009 by Ken Horowitz 1 comment

Digital Pictures is a company that still creates controversy, long after it closed its doors. Those who defend it look to games that are both funny and engaging, and those who hate it simply pick up a copy of Power Factory Featuring C+C Music Factory. Usually, the argument ends there. However, Sega-16, in the interest of good journalism (or unflinching masochism), has put the game through its paces for a full review, in order to see if all the vitriol against it is justified. The result? There isn’t enough hate towards this game.

Stellar Fire

May 28, 2009 by Doug Jackson 0 comments

Remember Battlezone? The first-person experience of driving a tank through a battlefied was revolutionary for its time, and the formula has cropped up now and then since the ’80s. Dynamix used it for its Sega CD space fighter Stellar Fire, though it seems the company forgot to include the most important part of the experience: the fun. Stellar Fire offers a different type of gameplay, compared to other shooters on the Sega CD, but just how much it has to give we’ll leave to you to determine.

Jaguar XJ220

When you think of the Sega CD, you don’t immediately think of racing games. There aren’t all that many, and not all of what’s available is worth looking into. That’s unfortunate really, because a few, like JVC’s Jaguar XJ220, are quite playable. We have a full review for you, so read up and see if this one’s worth tracking down.

Batman Returns (CD)

April 6, 2009 by Antony S. 3 comments

As a franchise, fewer characters have stronger legs than Batman. After twenty years, the fact that people are still looking forward to a new game featuring the Caped Crusader (Arkham Asylum looks incredible) is simply astonishing, considering just how spotty ol’ Batsy’s record has been. Back in the 16-bit era, Sega itself dove into the Batcave with both a cartridge and CD release of Batman Returns, and whether or not it landed on its head is still the subject of much-heated forum debates. We’ve a full review of the Sega CD version, so read on and remember, they’re flying mammals, not rodents!

Tomcat Alley

It’s time to fly into the danger zone! Sega’s Tomcat Alley takes the full throttle action of jet fighters and mixes it with… full-motion video? Yep, and suprisingly, it isn’t all that bad. In fact, Tomcat Alley is, dare I say it, enjoyable.
