The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
We here at Sega-16 love quirky, off-beat platformers. From Wani Wani World to Flicky, it’s all good, no matter how weird things get. So imagine our reaction when we booted up Man Overboard! S.S. Lucifer, which was unjustly left in Europe. Our friends over the pond were usually left out when it came to releases, but this time they lucked out. Or did they?
We’ve got a great way for you to cap off your week. First, a review of that awesome mech action game, BattleTech. Blowing things up has never been so much fun, and nothing equals the sheer euphoria of watching your enemies driven before you, except maybe hearing the lamentations of their women.
The 32X tried really hard to impress with its 3D visuals, and to be frank, it didn’t really succeed all that often. Sega also tried hard to attract gamers with innovative gameplay ideas, and they even resurrected a long-forgotten franchise in the attempt. Zaxxon’s Motherbase 2000 didn’t exactly do its namesake justice, but didn’t exactly fall on its face either. Check out our full report for all the flat-shaded details!
Oh look, a motocross game on the 32X! If only it were as good as we had hoped it would be. Sadly, Motocross Championship is one of those games that friends point to and snicker whenever you try to defend your investment in a 32X system. It’s ok friends. We know exactly how you feel. Come read our full review and let us ease your pain.
There’s usually a lot of debate as to what the best Disney game on the Genesis is. Whichever one you prefer, there’s simply no denying the brilliance of Traveller’s Tales’ wonderful platformer Mickey Mania: The Timeless Adventures of Mickey Mouse. Chock full of great special effects and very challenging, the game is one of Mickey’s best efforts.
