Crack Down

Between a rising Genesis and a dying Master System, Sega had so much software on its plate that it had to farm some of it out. Crack down, a two-player coin-op port, was one game that got handed over to Sage’s Creation. Featuring simultaneous co-op and a buttload of levels, this fun little action title didn’t get the attention it deserved – until now! Read our full review and get ready to add another title to your library!

Features, Hands-On

Hands-On: New Adventures of Capt. S DVD

A while back we interviewed some of the PBC Productions cast and crew of the awesome New Adventures of Captain S, a Sega-themed take on the old Captain N cartoons from the ’80s. Season one has been wrapped up, and it’s now available for purchase on DVD! Staff writer Carl-Johan Brax got his hands on a copy, and he’s produced a full write up of the series and all its bonus material. Be sure to check out the full hands-on and see if this one’s worth adding to your movie library.

Warlock

It’s been a while since we reviewed a licensed game, and just when you thought we’d gotten them all, Warlock pops into our sights. Stiff, frustrating gameplay combines with brutal difficulty to produce yet another game you might remember getting for Christmas instead of Gunstar Heroes or Rocket Knight Adventures. Yeah, we hear you, and you probably won’t be surprised to know that games like this don’t get better with age.

Double Take, Features

Double Take: Sonic 3 & Knuckles

Sonic is undoubtedly the one character who is synonymous with the Genesis. He was born there, and his four games were responsible for making Sega the powerhouse it was during thr 16-bit era. His final true Genesis outing (no, Sonic 3D Blast doesn’t count!) was Sonic & Knuckles, which boasted some cool lock-on powers that added more gameplay to each of the previous games. Of all of them, perhaps its interaction with Sonic 3 is most memorable, or at least it is to staff writer Vince Thornburg. In the latest installment of Double Take, Vince reminds us just how awesome it was to link up the two cartridges and behold all the hedgehog goodness contained therein. Check it out!
