The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
The holidays are virtually over, and it’s time to see what Santa brought us! Our readers have been playing plenty of Genesis this month, and they’re once again ready to share their experiences. Check out volume #25 of our Reader Roundtable feature and see what’s been going on!
By now you’ve ripped open all your gifts, and the sink is still strewn with the dirty dishes from the family feast. What’s there left to do? Why play your Genesis, of course! If you’re looking from something to exchange for those unwanted gifts, then maybe you should take a look at Acclaim’s Virtual Bart. I know, I know. Acclaim? A Simpsons game? Such a match usually has its origins in hell, but this one might surprise you, especially if you pick it up on the cheap side.
Daze Before Christmas is an Australia-only release, a seasonal platformer that Americans missed out on. Being one of the few Christmas-themed titles on the console, there’s obviously some curiosity as to whether or not it’s worth playing. Our full write up has all the details, but you’ll have to get your milk and cookies elsewhere.
One of the few video game icons that always finds a way to reinvent himself, Pac-Man has done just about everything but grab a gun and fight terrorists (I think that one’s coming to consoles soon). Namco has always endeavored to bring its hungry yellow mascot to new fans, with the most recent attempt being the simple yet incredible Pac-Man Championship Edition on Xbox Live Arcade. One other incarnation that benefited immensely from a simple gameplay addition was Pac-Mania, which simply altered the gameplay perspective and added a jump button. The result was an arcade hit that was ported to about forty billion systems the galaxy over.
