Playing co-op on the Genesis is a common occurrence, but it’s an entirely different situation when two consoles are involved. Take the first-person shooter Zero Tolerance, for example. How would you like to play it on two separate Genesis machines? Or what about using two Nomads? There actually was a cable offered for just such a thing back when the game was released, but those are now few and far between. Making one of your own isn’t all that hard though, and staff writer Sebastian Sponsel shows us how in the latest installment of Tech Talk.

Side by Side: Ys III (Genesis, SNES, TG-16)
Falcom’s excellent Ys series has managed to make its way to a ton of consoles, but the Genesis was lamentably the recipient of only the third installment. After seeing the incredible first two games released on the TurboGrafx-16 CD (and Book I on the Master System too!), the third was something many Genesis fans were thankful to get.

Reader Roundtable Vol. 48
As we take this weekend to give thanks for overeating and unbridled consumerism, let us take a moment to reflect on the great games we played this month. Our staff and readers have been giving their consoles a healthy dose of game time, and the next four days are sure to bring hours more enjoyment. Hey, we have to work off all that turkey somehow, right? So put down that drumstick and check out this month’s Reader Roundtable. We’ll be back on Monday (a few pounds heavier), so happy Thanksgiving.
