The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Sega-16 will be examining games related to these holidays as the year progresses, beginning with everyone’s favorite spooky celebration: Halloween. In my eyes, Halloween is a day to be observed in three ways: dressing up like a fool, stuffing yourself silly with candy, and playing something scary. This is ironically one of the Genesis’ stronger themes, as holidays go, as there are quite a large number of horror and fright-orientated titles available.
It’s always wonderful fun to talk about soundtracks, and the debate always rages as to which are the best on the Genesis. Everyone has their favorites, which makes choosing a top ten risky business. So, why not talk about them all? Join us as we take a look at the first batch in Legacy of the Z80 Sound Chip.
Genesis gamers remember Chakan as one of the hardest titles on the console, but there’s no denying that there was definitely potential for the Forever Man to make his mark in gaming. A sequel was planned for the Dreamcast but never made it to release, and now Chakan is the Forever Forgotten Man. Read all about the state of the franchise and think of what could have been.
Involved in everything from the localization of Beyond Oasis to the development of Sub-Terrania and Shadowrun, Tony Van is a Sega veteran. He produced or designed some of SOA’s most famous titles, and he was a major part of the FMV surge on the Sega CD. If you thought playing those games was hard, wait until you read about what it was like to make them.
The weekend’s here! That means we take it easy and relax, right? Not at Sega-16! We send you on your merry way with a preview of Treasure’s upcoming magnum opus Gunstar Super Heroes, which includes a two-minute video of the game in action. Wait until you see the incredible bosses and stage effects!
