The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
For decades, Eduardo Morales Hermo was synonymous with coin-ops in Spain, especially with Sega. As the head of Sega S.A., or “Segasa,” he helped bring arcade video games to all corners of Europe. Recently, he shared his experiences with us in an exclusive interview.
Irem’s brawling hit came home to the Master System without much of a downgrade, and it even supported the console’s neat FM sound feature. An addition well worth tracking down and adding to any library, Vigilante remains a great example of how Sega’s 8-bit machine could deliver arcade hits.
Lots of Mega Drive games came out in Taiwan and never left. Thankfully, we’re finally seeing releases of many of these titles, and Water Margin is one worth checking out. A beat-’em-up steeped in ancient Chinese history, it’s a fun romp for two players.
The first Zillion game was a wonderful and exciting action title with lots of exploration. Its sequel stripped all of that away and instead gave players a dull and repetitive affair. It might not necessarily be a bad game, but it definitely came up short compared to its predecessor.
Video game tournaments are nothing new, and Sega has been holding them since the 1970s. One of its first big competitions included the hit game Head-On, where Japanese players competed for prizes. The event helped show the popularity of video games worldwide.
