The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Climax broke new ground on the Genesis with this isometric action/adventure classic. Landstalker was a game unlike any other on the console, and it still holds a special place in the hearts of gamers worldwide. Join us for our deep dive into how it was made, as we examine everything from its conception to release with newly-translated documents and interview details!
Ever since the original Landstalker made its debut back in 1993, Climax Entertainment has repeatedly left us wanting more. Several spiritual sequels have been released, the greatest of all done by someone other than Climax itself. Now, with the franchise’s upcoming return on the Sony PSP and Playstation consoles, Sega-16 takes a look back at all the games released until now.
Mention the game Landstalker to any veteran gamer and you’re bound to get one of two responses: a nostalgic sigh or a slew of profanity. You may even get a little of both. It is unique to the 16-bit era and when it leaves that much of an impression on its players, you know something was done right.
