The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Sega-16 takes a comprehensive look behind the making of a true Genesis classic. We’ve spoken to a dozen people involved at Disney, Sega, and Virgin Games, including programmer David Perry and former Disney Software Producer Patrick Gilmore. We even spoke to people who worked on the film! This is the definitive story of how three major companies united to create a fan-favorite.
Sometimes, the most unlikely of games get a second lease on life. That truth applies more to Shaq-Fu than just about any other game of the 16-bit era, but sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.

It’s time for another edition of our monthly Reader Roundtable! See what our staff and readers have been playing in February, as you never know if they’ve played a game you missed or a gem you should revisit. There’s a lot of good stuff to talk about this month, so read on and enjoy!

It’s probably very cold where you live, damn cold. Consider this: the weather is miserable, and you’re probably stuck at home, unable to go to school or work. Well, what better excuse to wrap yourself up and play some Genesis? Nature’s on your side, when you think of it! That’s what our staff and readers have done this month.
