The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
With August marking the debut of the Genesis in America, you know we have to keep the party going! That’s why we decided to devote this month’s installment of our Reader Roundtable series to those games that left their mark on us on or around the console’s release. Launch libraries usually stink, but the Genesis had some quality games that are still enjoyed today. Read all about it in the full article and then go play some Revenge of Shinobi.
With all the classic cartoon characters getting games of their own, it was no surprise that the famous Pink Panther would soon join their ranks. Starring in Pink Goes to Hollywood for both the Genesis and the SNES, the movie icon got the chance to show his platforming chops to the gaming world. Unfortunately, he decided to do it around the same time every one of those other cartoon characters (and a ton of fuzzy mascots) were doing the same. The result was a title that wasn’t bad but did nothing to distinguish itself from the rest of the pack. Is it worth buying anyway?
There has been much rumbling in Genesis circles lately. Lots of news has surfaced regarding unreleased games, delayed remakes, and new hardware clones. Some news is big, and some isn’t, but it’s all worthy of mention. We’ve done some scrounging and have compiled it all in another handy little installment of MEGA Bites. Read the full article to find out what’s been going on. See, that’s what we’re here for. Sega-16: combing through the Internet so you don’t have to!
The thought of upgradable robots battling to the death should have been a recipe for pure win. In reality, Heavy Nova was a slow, plodding game that took some serious patience to love. Unfortunately, most gamers haven’t been that devoted, and Heavy Nova is sort of overlooked today.
Region-specific games are the bane of fans of all consoles. No matter how many great games come to one’s specific region, there is always a ton more that got left somewhere else. The Genesis is no exception, and there are more awesome titles left in Europe and Japan than you can shake a Menacer at. Second Samurai is one such title, and we wouldn’t be surprised if you’re right now wondering what the heck game it was that we just mentioned. See? That’s what happens when games stay in just one region!
