The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
With the release of the Sega Genesis Collection on the Playstation 2 and PSP, Sega has brought us the largest Genesis compilation ever released on consoles. Sega-16 spoke to associate producer Stephen Frost about this exciting release and got some insight about how it came about and what the future holds. Want to know why Streets of Rage didn’t make the cut? Shining Force? How about the chances of another volume?
Last week, Sega finally released the Sega Genesis Collection for the Playstation 2 and the PSP. Sporting the largest collection of Genesis titles ever released, this awesome disc is chock full of interviews, unlockable games, and a ton of 16-bit fun! We’ve sat down with it for some serious play time, so why not read our complete review and see if this set is worth your $20?
You love Xbox Live, and you’re eager to see how the Playstation 3 and Wii will measure up. You probably play PC games online and most likely had a ton of fun on SegaNet with your Dreamcast. But why not see where it all began? Before the Sega Channel and the Xband, there was the TeleGenesis modem, perhaps Sega’s most famous piece of vaporware. Why wasn’t it released in the U.S.? What was the service like in Japan and which games were available?
With all the different ports there are, we just can’t get enough of putting them up against each other to see which is best. This latest installment of Side by Side sees the Genesis and Turbo Grafx-16 versions of Air Buster/Aero Blasters. Both versions of this classic shmup have their fans, so who gets the victory and who goes home a sad panda?
You’re playing Mortal Kombat 3 or Street Fighter II CE and you just can’t take the controller’s unsuitable D-pad. What’s a gamer to do? Why, get himself a real fighting stick, that’s what! There are plenty of candidates available (as evidenced by our Accessories & Peripheral Guide), so which to choose? There’s the stellar Sega Arcade Stick, but those can be hard to find and are sometimes even pricey. A good alternative is the ASCII Fighter Stick SG-6, which gives you plenty of options to get the best out of your fighting game experience.
