The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
It’s incredibly hot outside, and people need to take a break from all that sun and fun. What better way to do so than with some video games? There’s bound to be a few titles in your library that you haven’t really checked out yet, and this month’s roundtable might just give you the push you need to give ’em a spin! Besides, outside is overrated anyway.
The mouse is back! Sega and Disney have once again teamed up, and the result is a re-imagining of a true Genesis classic. Modern technology and tried and true platforming come together to create what we hope will be a watermark for bringing classic games onto modern consoles. New tech and classic platforming combined with a dash of Disney magic? Yes please!
EA’s seminal hockey series lasted well into the twilight of the 16-bit era, and while fans will debate which is the best installment, the series never really dropped its overall level of quality. That’s pretty impressive compared to the many other sports franchises that floundered as time wore on, and the 1997 edition of NHL is proof positive that “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” does work.
Looney Tunes games are multiple on the Genesis, and to their credit, they’ve tried to do more than just be Sonic clones with a cool license. This experimentation often resulted in titles that were a bit off the beaten path and too quirky for some gamers. Sylvester and Tweety’s only Genesis outing went overlooked by many and deserves at least a cursory playthrough.
As American Independence Day draws near, thoughts turn to hot dogs and potato salad. That’s fine, but everyone knows that the real American pastime is video games. What better way to honor our nation’s founders than by playing a console called “Genesis?” Just as they battled to forge a new country, Sega fought to establish a new console. OK, that comparison’s a bit too much, but no one can deny that our country’s founders did everything to give us a long weekend for gaming.
