The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
One of the most loved pen-and-paper RPGs of all time, Shadowrun came to the Genesis in 1994, still maintaining a cult following to this day. It’s interesting mixture of cyberpunk atmosphere with deep gameplay has kept gamers coming back for more for over a decade, and so strong is its fanbase that the franchise is being revived soon on the Xbox 360. But does the Genesis version truly live up to its pedigree?
Lunar Eternal Blue was the highest-selling title in Sega CD history and rightly so. Mixing incredible storytelling with a solid battle engine and loveable characters, it was everything a sequel should be. Working Designs scored big with this one and it’s a title that deserves to be in any self-respecting Sega CD owner’s collection.
After some serious playtime, Sega-16 has finally reviewed Beggar Prince. We would have covered it sooner, but…well, we were too busy playing! After so long, actually getting a chance to play a fresh Genesis RPG is something that tolerates no interruption, and we’re in this one for the long haul. We know you’re enthralled as well (you did buy it, didn’t you?), but why not hit pause yourself and have a look?
It’s sad to see all the hate that Phantasy Star gets. Its biggest crime? Detouring from the established storyline, something Phantasy Star Online has been doing for more than half a decade. It may lack that special charm that fans love about the other three installments, but it’s still a pretty decent RPG in its own right.
After gifting gamers with the RPG bliss that was Lunar the Silver Star, Working Designs got to work localizing their second release, Vay. Considered to be the hardest of the WD Sega CD quartet, it was actually a sweet little game, and it featured some interesting story elements to boot.
