The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
It’s time for another edition of our monthly Reader Roundtable! See what our staff and readers have been playing in February, as you never know if they’ve played a game you missed or a gem you should revisit. There’s a lot of good stuff to talk about this month, so read on and enjoy!
Before he made everyone feel the need to “catch ’em all,” Ken Sugimori released a great 16-bit platformer featuring a super hero named Pulseman for the Mega Drive. He spoke about its Virtual Console release with Sega of Japan’s Sega Voice in 2007, and Sega-16 is happy to present the translated interview for your enjoyment.
It’s probably very cold where you live, damn cold. Consider this: the weather is miserable, and you’re probably stuck at home, unable to go to school or work. Well, what better excuse to wrap yourself up and play some Genesis? Nature’s on your side, when you think of it! That’s what our staff and readers have done this month.
Looking for a portable Genesis so you can take your cartridges on the go, but find the Nomad a bit too pricey? Well, there are other options out there! We take a look at a relatively new one, the Hamy HG-806, and put it through its paces. It performs surprisingly well for non-Sega-made hardware, so read on and see if this one fits your needs.
Namco’s arcade classic came home to the NES in stellar fashion, retaining the visual style and gameplay. It also brought all the challenge of the coin-op, and all these factors combine to produce one of the better arcade ports on the NES. This is definitely a cartridge to own.
