The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Shooter fans love Techno Soft. Fewer companies have produced more quality games in the genre than it has, and the Genesis was especially blessed by its talents. Everyone knows of the Thunder Force series, of course, but there’s also another vertical shooter that unfortunately doesn’t get as much love. Well, we’re here to change that with a full review of Techno Soft’s other classic, Elemental Master.
Today marks our fourth anniversary, and it’s amazing that Sega-16 has been around for four years already. That’s a lifetime when it comes to websites, and I’m very proud to see how the site has grown. Most importantly I’m amazed at the incredible response that it continues to generate around gaming community, and most recently, the industry itself. All of our accomplishments of the last year have been detailed in our Year Four Retrospective, so please read up on us and continue to enjoy the site. Thanks for all your support, and we hope to keep giving you the best articles about Sega’s golden era!
The story of Peter Pan has been around for over a century, and while everyone knows the classic Disney rendition, many have tried to put 1991’s “sequel” Hook out of their minds. Love it or hate it, it was a huge hit, telling the story of a grown up Peter who must return to Never Never Land to rescue his children from Captain Hook. In typical summer blockbuster fashion, it received a video game for several consoles. Sega fans had their hopes raised for the Sega CD version, expecting all kinds of goodness. Instead, they got the Genesis game with a CD soundtrack.
It’s the end of the month, and that means it’s time for our traditional Reader Roundtable feature. Vol. 31 takes a special look at some of the games our staff and readers discovered through the site over the past four years, and you’d be surprised at how many of them were lacking the Monster World goodness! I’d wag my finger at them, but I’d rather let them bask in the awesomeness of some of the greatest action/RPG games ever made. Take a look at our anniversary edition of Sega-16’s most popular feature, and see if you too need to catch up on a specific title!
Paltformers were a major staple of the Genesis gamer’s diet during its run, and as often happens when something gets really popular, you can indeed have too much of a good thing. Case in point: Magical Taruruuto-Kun, a anime-based game that relied on its license and blatant cuteness more than its gameplay, and the result was a bland affair that was only magical at putting people to sleep.
