The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
April’s a slow month, as winter finally gets lost and lets spring back in the house. With sunshine and green grass, people tend to neglect their poor video games for trivial things like fresh air and exercise. That’s OK; the games will still be there when they get back. Our staff and readers have been playing some gems this month, in between bouts of the need for this thing called “outside.” Read on and see what we’ve been up to!
