The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Look at how fast November has come and gone. The month God made for football is over, but we can’t let go without one last look at the sport. Our latest review gives us a sort of another interpretation, and it comes in the form of a Genesis port of the Bally/Midway arcade hit Pigskin 621 A.D. The home version got a name change due to a questionable endorsement by NFL coach Jerry Glanville. Forget the refs and the rules friends; this one is all about bringing the pain
As we take this weekend to give thanks for overeating and unbridled consumerism, let us take a moment to reflect on the great games we played this month. Our staff and readers have been giving their consoles a healthy dose of game time, and the next four days are sure to bring hours more enjoyment. Hey, we have to work off all that turkey somehow, right? So put down that drumstick and check out this month’s Reader Roundtable. We’ll be back on Monday (a few pounds heavier), so happy Thanksgiving.
EA Sports made things especially interesting by offering a championship version of Madden ’93, which featured some of the best teams from past NFL seasons. It’s become quite rare among collectors, and that’s a shame, as it’s great for competition among friends. We have a full review of it, so lace up and read on! All you need now are some Tostitos and some Mountain Dew, and it’s game time!
Many gamers have fond memories of the Crush series on the TurboGrafix-16. Both Alien Crush and Devil’s Crush were excellent titles that still hold up incredibly well today. Genesis owners were lucky enough to receive the latter game, and Tengen promptly followed up with a sequel called Dragon’s Revenge. Though it may not be as good as its predecessor, it has a charm all its own and is still highly playable.
2009 has been a great year for Genesis hardware. No fewer than three different machines were released during the past twelve months, and most of them are portable. We’ve already covered the Genesis Portable system, but did you know an SD card-compatible version with six buttons was released in Brazil? Well, there was, and it’s called the MD Play. Released by none other than TecToy, it has some interesting features the American and European versions lack.
