The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
The Genesis is home to many wonderful RPGs of all types, including a beloved Zelda clone called Crusader of Centy. Many of the consoles owners actually played this version before any Zelda game, and the overall quality of the adventure and its great presentation left an indelible impression on them. Join us as we revisit this 16-bit classic!
Sega of America struggled long and hard to make the Genesis a success, and it took a national team to topple Nintendo’s monopoly. As Sega’s National Director of Sales, Alan Cohn was an important part of this plan, and he was responsible for ensuring retailers like Kay-Bee Toys and Toys R Us were well-stocked with Sega goodness. We recently chatted with him, and he shared his experiences of working at Sega during its most successful period.
TEST YOUR MIGHT! The arcade smash Mortal Kombat jumped kicked its way onto every console imaginable, including the Game Gear. Significantly watered down to fit on Sega’s handheld, the game still retained a lot of what made it so fun, but a lot was definitely lost in translation.
Time again for another look at what our staff and readers have been playing! Are you considering revisiting a classic game or trying a new one out for the first time? Then the Reader Roundtable is for you! Each month, we share our monthly game experiences in hopes that they will help readers explore the depth of Sega’s 8 and 16-bit library. Enjoy!
Streets of Rage on the Genesis is considered a classic. Unfortunately, It’s portable cousin wasn’t able to convey the rage quite as well, and it comes off more as “Alley of the Mildly Annoyed.” While it’s not a terrible game, it lacks the polish of the 16-bit original, and the experience suffers overall. Still, it’s worth playing for the Yuzo Koshiro music alone!
