The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Before the fireworks next week, take some time and see what our staff and readers have been playing in June. Classics abound, and there are a few offbeat entries as well. What better way to kick summer into high gear than with some cold lemonade and the Sega Genesis?
As we round out another year of coverage, Sega-16 continues to grow and improve. The past year has brought little controversy to our little section of the web, something for which we are quite grateful, and this has let us maintain focus on bringing the best Genesis coverage possible. Join us as we give our thoughts on the past 12 months.
With all the shooters that came to the Genesis in its first two years, it seems strange that some would be left behind. Kaneko’s Heavy Unit was one shmup that missed the boat, most likely because it was seen as too generic compared to powerhouses such as Thunder Force III and Gaiares. Is it worth tracking down now? Read on and see!
What is widely considered to be a classic Amiga shooter comes to the Genesis in notably worse shape. Horrible slowdown, dodgy power-ups, and missing stages are just some of the problems plaguing this sub-standard port. If you really want to experience Xenon 2, stick with the Amiga original.
Later this month, the best Mega Drive players in Portugal will come together to determine who is the best among them. Prizes and kudos are waiting to be claimed, and we have a short glimpse into what to expect from this year’s championships! We urge our PAL friends to register and compete if they can!
