Flashback: The Quest for Identity (CD)

April 26, 2007 by Jonathan Dogey 1 comment

There’s something special about games like Flashback: The Quest for Identity. With its roots planted firmly in the computer legacy left by such classics as Out of This World, the way it manages to mesh action with an amazing story captivated gamers the world over. After seeing release on the Genesis and other consoles, the Sega CD was treated to a version that boasted enhanced cut scenes and a great soundtrack. That may not seem like much of a rationale for a CD release, but considering how great the actual game is, there really isn’t much to tweak.

Double Switch

April 19, 2007 by Rodger Swan 2 comments

Digital Pictures turned out a ton of full motion video games on the Sega CD. In fact, it’s usually the genre most people remember first when they think of the much-maligned add-on. In an era where multi-media was all the rage, FMV achieved heights it has never attained since. Double Switch was a later DP release that was eventually ported to the Saturn and PCs, and it starred none other than fading ’80s star Corey Haim, who once stated that he wanted to be known as “Sega Boy.” Yeah, that Corey Haim.

Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers (CD)

April 9, 2007 by Jonathan Dogey 3 comments

One of the more controversial FMV titles, Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers attempted to go in a new direction with the standard gameplay of the genre, and it went from pre-production to release in less than ninety days, due to Van being presented with an almost impossible deadline. Some love it, and others hate it, but it’s definitely a game you need to play at least once.

Make Your Own Music Video: Marky Mark & the Funky Bunch

Somewhere, when no one is looking, Mark Wahlberg silently curses at his PC monitor as he scours eBay. The cause of his anger? Copies of Make My Video: Marky Mark & the Funky Bunch fetching BINs of ¢.99. The funny thing is, it’s not the price that has him upset; it’s the fact that copies of his FMV debut are still in circulation. Trust us, after playing this installment of the Make My Video series, we feel his pain.

Bram Stoker’s Dracula (CD)

March 19, 2007 by Rodger Swan 3 comments

1993 saw the release of Francis Ford Coppola’s version of the horror classic Bram Stoker’s Dracula. The film tried to remain faithful to the novel while injecting a more modernized interpretation of everyone’s favorite vampire. Such a concept sounds like it would make for a great video game, right? Well, it did, and that’s why we have the Castlevania series. Unfortunately, Sony Imagesoft decided to license the film for a game released for several platforms, including the Sega CD. The latter included FMV cut scenes and cool-looking rendered backgrounds but not much else of note.
