The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
1991 was the year that Sega finally began to loosen Nintendo’s iron grip on the gaming market, and it all started with a single game. Sonic the Hedgehog would eventually go on to become synonymous with everything Sega, and is still going strong after all this time. Join us as we take a look at the ‘Hog’s long and eventful history in this special edition of our History of series.
June 19, 2005 marked the fourteenth birthday of that mascot of mascots, Sonic The Hedgehog. Sega-16 kicked off a week-long celebration of everything hedgehog with some great content for your enjoyment, including a new “History of” article and a “Sega Stars” feature on Yuji Naka. For starters, enjoy a review of the Genesis’ only Sonic compilation, the Sonic Classics.
King of shmups? Best on the Genesis, or best overall? You’ll have to decide for yourself whether or not Lightening Force (Thunder Force IV) truly is all it’s been hyped up to be, and to help you out, we’ve cooked up this handy little review!
Some consider Gaiares to be overrated, and others consider it to be a classic. Released as one of the seemingly endless barrage of shmups in 1990, it still sparks controversy.
Like Earthworm Jim? Aladdin? Global Gladiators? If so, then you undoubtedly know their creator. He’s been at the forefront of game development for years, and was able to make the Genesis do some incredible things. I am, of course, talking about David Perry, and sega-16 has an exclusive interview with him. Enjoy!
