The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
In 1999, Sega expanded on its House of the Dead series with an solid beat-’em-up that came to Dreamcast the following year. Chock full of extras, Zombie Revenge was fun for a while, especially with a second player. It’s a little bare if you’re planning a long gaming session, but there’s enough fun to be had fending off the undead.
Capcom gave Dreamcast owners another taste of Resident Evil with a quick port of the second game right after Code Veronica debuted. No major upgrades were included, and while this version wasn’t on the same level as the latest entry in the franchise, there was still some (undead) life left in the classic adventure that warranted another trip to Racoon City.
Broke Studio is back with a new Cursed game! They’ve partnered with GGS Studio Creation to create The Cursed Legacy, an action/adventure game with several modes and lots of action and exploration. The Kickstarter is up and running, and the game is already funded. Check out our preview of what should definitely be one of your next Genesis purchases.
Sega’s new CD-ROM add-on was meant to bring bigger and better game experiences, but its first RPG entry was sadly off-key. In a world where the Genesis was finally hitting its role-playing stride, Funky Horror Band should have been a magical game that showed off the CD-ROM’s power. Instead, it wasn’t much of an upgrade at all.
I’m surprised no one’s given a panda a jetpack and let him loose on the Genesis before, but the time has finally come! Rocket Panda is a great title that wraps up some solid physics-based gameplay in a cute little package. Great level variety and design, boss battles, and excellent presentation make this one a winner.
