The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Takara made sure that all those gamers who didn’t have $500 to pony up for a Neo Geo AES system weren’t left without playing all the cool games that made the console so attractive. Genesis owners got a ton of ports, and while some weren’t up to par with the arcade originals, most were pretty competent. King of the Monsters 2 was one conversion that took a different route than its coin-op sibling, and the result was a game that was quite fun to play.
As hot as it is outside, the best way to keep cool is by kicking back with some great Genesis software. Our staff and readers did just that this month, and they’ve come together again to share their stories in vol. 55 of our monthly Reader Roundtable series. Read the full article and see what we’ve been up to.
Full-motion video games are a staple of any Sega CD library. Heck, you seemingly can’t own the add-on without having at least one in your library. Back when Sega was betting the farm on the genre, its TruVideo line was producing titles on a regular basis. Some were decent (Wirehead), and some were Surgical Strike. I know you can’t believe we found another bad FMV game, but at least try to feign surprise. For us, please?
IPPON! SNK’s Samurai Shodown sliced and diced its way onto just about every console imaginable, and many gamers expected the Sega CD version to be the best one. Sadly, this wasn’t the case. Long load times, a missing character, and an unforgivable bug hamper what is otherwise an excellent port.
The 27th of this month marks our sixth anniversary! Think about that for a second… we’ve been talking about the Genesis for more than half a decade already. And to think that we still have so much left to say! While we come up with some more articles for you, take a gander at this year’s retrospective. It hasn’t been as eventful a year as others, but that’s ok. We’re just thankful to be here after all this time.
