The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
T&E Soft’s 16-bit version of Hydlide is still somewhat obscure among Genesis fans, who tended to shy away from its tiny graphics and odd encumbrance system. Those who are able to get past these early barriers are going to find a neat little RPG that offers a great quest, interesting gameplay dynamics, and a wonderful soundtrack. Keep an open mind and give it a try; there’s a lot to like with this little gem.
You like survival horror? Gory, flesh-eating zombies and tons of blood? Forget Resident Evil; we’ve got the original house of horrors right here on the Genesis. Enter, if you dare and read up on the history of Splatterhouse in our newest feature. Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone if you have to leave the light on….
Adventure gamers, we’ve something special for you! Sega-16 recently sat down with Dynamix founder Jeff Tunnell, creator of such classics as The Adventures of Willy Beamish and Rise of the Dragon. He had a lot of interesting things to say about what it was like to bring these two fan favorites to Sega’s little CD-ROM.
For years now, many gamers have wondered what Sega’s plans are concerning their back catalogue of games. We’ve seen a few brands rise from their graves, like OutRun and Ecco the Dolphin, but there’s growing concern about the future of two of their premier RPG series: The Shining games and Phantasy Star. Where are they going? Will we ever see new entries in the classic style?
There’s nothing like a four-day weekend for getting caught up on one’s gaming pile of shame. Amid several hour stretches of Dragon Quest VIII (screw the haters; it’s amazing), some love was also given to another famous RPG series, which only saw one outing on the Genesis – Dungeons & Dragons. Warriors of the Eternal Sun is short and sweet and very much worth checking out.
