Read on and see what we’ve been up to in February.
Sonic had some special outings on the Game Gear, and they rank all over the spectrum of quality. Sonic Chaos was one release that had potential but that got bogged down by high difficulty, and repetitive gameplay. It’s still worth playing, and being a common title makes it easy to acquire. It’s not Sonic’s best effort, but it isn’t his worst, either.
Have you played the first edition of Sega’s College Football’s National Championship? If so, you don’t have much reason to play the sequel. There’s little that’s new to it, and the fabled Sports Talk feature is gone. What remains is a lukewarm follow-up to what was a great college sports title.
One Dreamcast title that North American owners wanted but never got was Headhunter, which looked to offer sleek and Metal Gear-like gameplay. A European exclusive, it made for an engaging action title that combined action and stealth with a bit of a Blade Runner vibe. It’s one that’s worth the asking price and a game everyone should track down.
Mere months after the Genesis launched, Sega unleashed the largest console RPG ever made. Phantasy Star II was beautiful, exciting, and brutally difficult. Still fans, dove in headfirst and explored the Algol Star System in an adventure that lives on to this day. Join us as we go behind the scenes and take a look at the development of this beloved 16-bit classic.
