The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Saturn’s final year saw some amazing games, including the long-awaited third installment in the beloved Shining Force series. Despite only releasing one of its three scenarios outside Japan, Sega and Camelot Software Planning managed to give fans an excellent 32-bit entry that remains a fan favorite to this day. This is not one to be missed.
Sonic and friends are off to the races in a game that’s fun but flawed. From its memorable presentation to its simple gameplay, Sonic R is a title that doesn’t do anything special but that can tend to grow on you if you give it a chance. Beyond its infamous soundtrack, however, its underachieved potential is what makes it memorable. Still, it is fun to run around for a while, especially with a friend.
Sasha Darko returns with the second entry in the Sacred Line series, and it’s a step up from the original. Sacred Line II brings creepy visual horror to the Genesis in a much larger fashion than the original game, and it’s definitely a title worth playing during the Halloween season.
Dreamcast owners got a special treat when Capcom gave them the exclusive next chapter in the Resident Evil saga. Code: Veronica brought 3D environments and big upgrades to the established gameplay, and while it stumbles a bit over its aging mechanics, it manages one hell of a ride. If you have a Dreamcast, then you simply have to own this game.
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.
