G-LOC Air Battle

Those lucky enough to play Sega’s G-LOC in the arcades were treated to an awesome spectacle, filled with intense graphics and sound and an interactive cabinet that would yaw, pitch, and roll with the yolk’s movements. It simply had to be experienced. Sega eventually brought the game home, but the effort was considerably different, as much of what made the original so special was the dynamic arcade unit itself. I suppose you can move to and fro in your recliner as you play the Genesis version, but something tells me it’s just not the same.

Road Rash (CD)

How do you make a great game better? You slap a CD soundtrack and full-motion cut scenes on it! Err…. wait, that’s not it… Well, how about if you add more modes and better visuals? Yeah, I though that might work. Road Rash for the Sega CD does exactly that, and it tosses in the soundtrack and FMV for good measure. Bitter sweet or just plain tasty?

Ten Commandments of Buying Sports Games

Power Factory Featuring C+C Music Factory

Digital Pictures is a company that still creates controversy, long after it closed its doors. Those who defend it look to games that are both funny and engaging, and those who hate it simply pick up a copy of Power Factory Featuring C+C Music Factory. Usually, the argument ends there. However, Sega-16, in the interest of good journalism (or unflinching masochism), has put the game through its paces for a full review, in order to see if all the vitriol against it is justified. The result? There isn’t enough hate towards this game.

Whip Rush

The Genesis is a choice console for shooters, and few companies produced the library that Renovation did. In addition to Gaiares, Arrow Flash, and Granada, it also gave us Whip Rush. Quite the fun little shooter it is, too!
