The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
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.
Sega was one of the first coin-op manufacturers to push tournaments as part of its marketing. As early as 1974, the company held competitions at local game rooms where participants competed for cool electronic prizes. One of its earliest events featured its Table Hockey game and saw thousands of players take part across Japan.
Horror-themed graphic adventures aren’t common at all on the Genesis, and Sasha Darko fills the gap with Sacred Line. It’s not perfect, but as a first effort from a one-man studio, it shows great potential. If you can get past its shortcomings, Sacred Line can offer an afternoon of horror and suspense that’s not for the faint of heart.
We’re excited to see that Mega Cat Studios has shot through its funding goal with ZPF. The game looks amazing and plays just as well. We went hands-on with the latest build and spoke with the developers about this great project. Read on and see why your Genesis is about to have another must-have title.
Though Sega-16 officially launched on June 27, 2004, we had a soft launch three days earlier. Today marks two consecutive decades of uninterrupted Sega coverage, and I am damn proud to share it with you all. Thank you to all our readers and contributors for 20 years of support! And as they say, “We’re just getting started.”
