As promised, we bring you John Szczepaniak’s awesome article on the Genesis, as originally printed in issue #27 of Retro Gamer Magazine. Back in July, John consulted with Sega-16 about the article, and he cited a few of our interviews. We also donated some screen shots, and I must say, the final piece looks great! We’ve reprinted the article here in its entirety (with John’s permission, of course) and even have scans of the actual magazine pages! You know you want to see this, so what are you waiting for? Read the article and enjoy!
Get ready for another round of Lost in the Arcade! This installment takes a look at some of the great Taito games that were never released on consoles during the 16-bit era, but would have been right at home on the Genesis. So many great games, yet so few were ported! It’s a shame, but that doesn’t mean we should just forget them.
Today we kick off a new feature series that looks into the history behind some of the Genesis’ most prominent creative teams. The first installment of Developer’s Den takes a look at Zyrinx, the maker of Sub-Terrania and Red Zone, and examines its work and legacy. Read the article and find out what could have been!
