The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
We say farewell to winter the same way we leave each season behind every year: by playing games! Our staff and readers have been toiling away at those great Genesis, Sega CD, and 32X titles that they hadn’t gotten around to playing or just can’t get enough of. Read on and see what we’ve been playing!
Though Accolade’s attempt a a space sim falls short, there’s enough done right to still make it worth some time. Slow and repetitive gameplay are likely to turn off gamers expecting a Genesis equivalent of TIE Fighter. However, those willing to stick to it for a while might find a title that’s playable and enjoyable, despite some major shortcomings.
Sega’s adrenaline-soaked fighter game has made an appearance on every single piece of its hardware since the Master System. It was also released on a ton of other consoles, including the NES, and this last machine actually got a competent little port, courtesy of Tengen. Nintendo fans can fly the unfriendly skies too!

Just about everything is below expectations, and the result is a classic example of great ideas being poorly implemented. But hey, at least it lives up to its name!
After almost two decades, Sega is finally localizing Monster World IV for game consoles. Arriving in April, the collection includes two other Monster World games, with all the online bells and whistles today’s machines can offer. Read our preview and see why it’s time to save Wonder Land again.
