The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Today we kick off a new feature series! Double Take gives readers a chance to take a second look at those special titles that made a major impact. Instead of the standard review fare, the series seeks to offer a better look at the overall experience a particular game offers. We start things off with that first of great Genesis action/platformers: The Revenge of Shinobi. Sega really got the 16-bit ball rolling.
Wondering which version of Telenet’s action/RPG Exile to buy off eBay? Confused about the differences between the Genesis cartridge and the Turbo CD-ROM? Before you rush off and make an uninformed purchase, be sure to check out the latest installment of our popular Side by Side series. From the gameplay to the graphics and sound, we break each version down for you, so you’ll put your hard-earned cash in the right direction. Hey, no thanks are necessary; it’s what we’re here for!
No one can argue that regardless of what you think of the game itself, Night Trap is a pretty important title. It was a major factor in the creation of the ESRB ratings system, and it is the poster child for the entire full motion video genre (for more on that, check out our Genre Spotlight article on the subject). In an effort to weed through all the speculation and opinions, Sega-16 sat down with the man who created the game: Rob Fulop himself. His gameography is a great one, with several classic Atari 2600 titles standing out, but no game has caused as much controversy as Night Trap.
Summer’s just about over, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get in some last minute Genesis gaming! Our readers are taking advantage of those last days of freedom, before the long weekend signals the end of the vacation and the return to academic duties, and they’ve got a lot of good titles in play this month. Read the latest installment of our popular Reader Roundtable series and see what your fellow Segaphiles are up to this month.
Ever want to try something new in terms of presenting video games in a casual environment? It takes a certain degree of care and discretion to pull it off, especially when you’re totally unsure of how people will react. Sometimes, however, the result is more than worth the effort. Such was the case with reader Felipe Fortes, who introduced some Sonic The Hedgehog tunes while DJing at a Brazilian night club! Read the sixteenth installment of Stories from the Book of Genesis and see how he brought the house down in a good way!
