The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
What’s this? Can this truly be my Genesis at work, without expansion carts or add-ons? Indeed it is! Zyrinx’s Red Zone is a graphical tour de force that plays as well as it looks. If you haven’t tried it already, read our full review and see what your next purchase must be.
We have a (very) brief interview with Boris Vallejo, illustrator of several Genesis covers, including Golden Axe 2, Phantasy Star IV, Star Control, and the Ecco the Dolphin series. It’s a short read, but worth looking into.
It’s not easy completing retro gaming collections. Pickings in some areas can be quite slim, and often the internet is the only option to finding what you need. In volume nine of Stories from the Book of Genesis, contributor Damien Jennison discovers just how to handle eBay and its sometimes cutthroat sellers.
You’d think that with the amount of fame Mega Man enjoyed during the 8-bit era, the dude would get his shot on the Genesis once Capcom openly supported the platform. In a sense, he did…just not in America. While PAL and Japanese Mega Drive gamers enjoyed a great compilation of the first three games called Mega Man: The Wily Wars, U.S. fans were left in the cold.
FMV games – love ’em or hate ’em, they’re a big part of the Sega CD’s history. Some were actually worth playing, although your mileage may vary as to how much. One title that is worth a play or two is Wolf Team’s humoristic Time Gal, which sends the player on an obstacle-filled romp through different periods in history. It didn’t set the world on fire, but it didn’t burn anyone’s house down either. If you’re looking for another disc to spin in your Sega CD, this one’s good for a few hours.
