The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Sega launched its frontal assault on everything Nintendo with both an magazine and television campaign that famously stated that “Genesis does what Nintendon’t.” To this day, gamers remember that catchy jingle from the commercials (most of which can be found in our video archive), but are all the games worthy of their hype? Staff writer Christian Matozzo takes a closer look at them to find out in the latest installment of Sega Ages.
Staff writer Alex Burr has probably spent more time with the Genesis sports library than anyone in recorded history, and he’s decided to bring the word down from on high as to which games are still worth playing so many years later. It seems there are more than you would initially think, and you can read all about in The Ten Commandments of Buying Sports Games.
It’s always interesting to find something game-related in the wild, especially when it’s in another country. Staff writer Sebastian Sponsel has had his share of experiences with the bootleg underworld of Argentina’s gaming scene, but this time he’s gone head first into it! Check out his tale in installment #28 of Stories from the Book of Genesis.
We cap off the month of May and all its rain with edition #42 of our monthly Reader Roundtable series. There are lots of games to see this month, including a few you may not have played before. Read the whole article for all the info on what our staff and readers played this month, and get ready for summer!
Everyone should have believed him when he said “I’ll be back.” Now, Terminator: Salvation has finally hit theaters, and this latest outing seeks to reinvigorize the franchise and kick off a new trilogy. We finally get to see John Conner kick some ass, but what about all the other times Skynet has mangled the time stream, and John was a either whiny little kid or just a faint glimmer in his momma’s eye? There have been several game versions of the first two films on the Genesis and Sega CD, and staff writer Tom Briggs takes a look back at all of them in another installment of Sega Ages. So grab a phased plasma rifle in the 40 gigawatt range, and take on the machines!
