The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
We close out the month of February with one last look at all the great games that we played over the past few weeks. As always, Sega-16 staff and readers chime in to share what they’ve been enjoying this month, and you can read about it in the thirty-ninth edition of our popular Reader Roundtable series. Enjoy!
The Genesis is chock full of quality shooters. Unfortunately, Earth Defense/Earth Defend is not one of them. You can’t expect much from a game that can’t even get its own name right, and the actual gameplay is just as sloppy.
In the last installment of MEGA Bites, we mentioned that the green light was given for a novelization of the Data East laser disc game (and Sega-16 favorite) Road Avenger. As major fans of the game, we weren’t content with mere news blurbs, and we managed to pry author Mary Margaret Park away from her writing long enough to get the lowdown on this interesting take on the property. Read our full interview for all the details, and no, the book won’t come with a copy of the theme song.
The Sega Club line of games was aimed at the younger Genesis demographic, and one of the odder releases was Wacky Worlds Creative Studio. Just how “creative” Sega expected anyone to get with this amalgam of painting, and music composition is anyone’s guess, but it at least included the Mega Mouse.
The early ’90s saw a ton of full-motion video games, and the genre exploded for a few years, until people actually came to their senses and remembered that they actually like to play their video games. Leading the FMV charge was Digital Pictures, and the company managed to release a lot of its games on different consoles, including the 32X. The result was the same game… but with much cleaner video! Supreme Warrior, a kung-fu fighter, was one title to get the 32X face lift, and we have a roundhouse review for it ready to go. Just remember: never take your eyes off your opponent, even when you bow.
