Normally, we don’t update on weekends. However, the death of pop icon Michael Jackson, moves us to offer up something in tribute. Jackson was a man who was closely tied to Sega for a decade, from his initial Moonwalker title to the rumors surrounding his involvement in Sonic 3 and his later appearances in both Space Channel 5 games and Ready to Rumble. His link with Sega is now forever broken, but Genesis fans still have the great Moonwalker to cherish and play.
This Saturday, Sega-16 celebrates its fifth anniversary. After half a decade, we’re not only still here, we’re better than ever. Though the past twelve months haven’t been as eventful as some of the previous years, we’ve still made some great strides, and the site has remained consistent in both the quality and the quantity of its updates. I’ve shared my thoughts on the subject in this year’s retrospective, so please do check it out.

Staff writer Christian Matozzo takes a closer look at them to find out in the latest installment of Sega Ages.
