I was thinking about Sega's old website (not old as in Genesis era, but old as in circa 2002) for some reason, and thought of a good article idea. On the aforementioned Sega site, there was a small section about their "older systems". If you looked at the page for each system, you'd find a brief write-up about the system, followed by something that looks like this:

Saturn Game Highlights
1995:
Virtua Fighter
Daytona USA
Panzer Dragoon
Bug!
Virtua Fighter 2
Sega Rally Championship
1996:
Guardian Heroes
NiGHTS: Into Dreams
Tomb Raider
Panzer Dragoon II Zwei
Bug Too!
Virtual On
Dragon Force
1997:
Fighters Megamix
Enemy Zero
Last Bronx
Saturn Bomberman
Sonic R
1998:
Panzer Dragoon Saga
Burning Rangers

Now. What if we took this lame, tacked-on game list idea and turned it into something interesting? Instead of listing, we could write lengthy articles on the noteworthy of Genesis games. And I say articles plural, because we could do a separate article for each year of the system's life. The resulting articles would each be a snapshot of the genny library, filled to the brim with nostalgia.

Hmm, this sounds interesting, but I worry how we'd make it distinguish itself from the actual game reviews and Genre Spotlight entries.

What if we talked about the games that flew under the radar (like that for a title!) for each year? Give gamers info on titles they may have missed?

No no, that's something entirely different. Though also not a bad idea.
