Sasha Darko returns with the second entry in the Sacred Line series, and it’s a step up from the original. Sacred Line II brings creepy visual horror to the Genesis in a much larger fashion than the original game, and it’s definitely a title worth playing during the Halloween season.
Horror-themed graphic adventures aren’t common at all on the Genesis, and Sasha Darko fills the gap with Sacred Line. It’s not perfect, but as a first effort from a one-man studio, it shows great potential. If you can get past its shortcomings, Sacred Line can offer an afternoon of horror and suspense that’s not for the faint of heart.
Hideo Kojima’s Snatcher is often hailed as one of the best reasons to buy a Sega CD. A well-received sequel was released on the PlayStation and Saturn but never made it stateside, depriving fans of a great adventure game. Thankfully, it was finally fan-translated a few years back and we can now enjoy what Kojima himself considers the definitive version.
Looking for a puzzle-solving, sci-fi thriller for your Sega CD? Iron Helix may be your game. Combining the interface of a graphic adventure with full-motion video cut scenes and puzzle elements, the game offers an experience uncommon on the platform. It may not be as deep as later titles, such as “D” and “Enemy Zero,” but it’s definitely worth playing.
Game Arts crafted a graphic adventure that is sure to please fans of the classic cartoon on which it’s based thanks to some great comedy and some of the best animation on the Sega CD. Anime and manga fans will enjoy seeing Lum and friends come to the Mega CD in smart and quirky adventure. Don’t let the language barrier keep you away from what is one of the best games of its type.
