The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Sega was one of the first coin-op manufacturers to push tournaments as part of its marketing. As early as 1974, the company held competitions at local game rooms where participants competed for cool electronic prizes. One of its earliest events featured its Table Hockey game and saw thousands of players take part across Japan.
Sega took its Virtua Fighter formula to another level with Fighting Vipers, a game that deserves more respect and attention. The Saturn version did an excellent job of bringing the arcade action home intact, and it even added some new features that make this a definitive title for any fighting game fan’s library.
Horror-themed graphic adventures aren’t common at all on the Genesis, and Sasha Darko fills the gap with Sacred Line. It’s not perfect, but as a first effort from a one-man studio, it shows great potential. If you can get past its shortcomings, Sacred Line can offer an afternoon of horror and suspense that’s not for the faint of heart.
We’re excited to see that Mega Cat Studios has shot through its funding goal with ZPF. The game looks amazing and plays just as well. We went hands-on with the latest build and spoke with the developers about this great project. Read on and see why your Genesis is about to have another must-have title.
Though Sega-16 officially launched on June 27, 2004, we had a soft launch three days earlier. Today marks two consecutive decades of uninterrupted Sega coverage, and I am damn proud to share it with you all. Thank you to all our readers and contributors for 20 years of support! And as they say, “We’re just getting started.”
