The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
April’s a slow month, as winter finally gets lost and lets spring back in the house. With sunshine and green grass, people tend to neglect their poor video games for trivial things like fresh air and exercise. That’s OK; the games will still be there when they get back. Our staff and readers have been playing some gems this month, in between bouts of the need for this thing called “outside.” Read on and see what we’ve been up to!
The fighting game craze of the early ’90s was huge, and not all the games made it overseas on all consoles. For instance, while SNES owners got to play Power Instinct, Sega Genesis fans were forced to import. Were they missing much, given the wealth of available options? Well, if you’re just looking for a new fighter to play around with, then this one might well be worth tracking down.
Sega’s famous hedgehog has appeared on many consoles, including the short-lived (but awesome) Neo Geo Pocket Color. Essentially a celebration of all the stages that made the Genesis Sonic games so much fun, it works quite well on the little machine and is a worthy addition to any game library.

Datel has supported a series called the Action Replay for almost two decades, and several versions were released for Sega’s 16-bit hardware, both domestically and in Europe. We’ve put them through their paces to see how they hold up, so read on for all the details.
Game compilations tend to be popular because of the value they represent. Who can resist lots of games bundled together on a single cartridge? Value is what the Mega Games series was meant to promote, but the first installment’s paltry three game selection may not be all that enticing.
