The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
So your Menacer is collecting dust, and you’re wondering why the heck you got one in the first place. Though unlikely, it’s possible that you let Terminator 2: The Arcade Game slip under your radar. A pretty decent conversion of the arcade hit, it’s actually quite playable with Sega’s unwieldy weapon of light, and it’s quite inexpensive nowadays.
September’s in the books, and we cap off another month of gaming with our popular Reader Roundtable feature. There’s plenty of gaming going on, and our readers are never scared to tackle a stinker in the interest of good orientation! Check out the full article and see some of the games you should – and shouldn’t – be playing!
Ah, licensed slop. It’s everywhere, no matter which console you own, and it’s managed to transcend hardware generations like some mutant virus that morphs into a new strain every five years or so. The Genesis was no exception, as evident by today’s poor example of wasted silicon. Sony Imagesoft continued its tradition of horrible licensed software with No Escape, a game surprisingly done by the mostly awesome-on-Genesis Psygnosis. What happened? Maybe it was an off day, or maybe the development budget all went towards women and booze. No one knows, and after playing this turd, no one probably cares either.
We’re back more coverage of Sega’s offerings on Nintendo’s Virtual Console! This month is perhaps the best yet, with such gems as Shining Force, Shinobi III, Landstalker, and Sonic 3 on tap. If you’ve ever wondered whether or not you needed to get more Wii points, trust me dear friend, this is all the reason you’ll ever need.
Sometimes, it’s good to take a break from all the great shmups, platformers, and run-‘n-guns on the Genesis. Occasionally a nice, laid back type of game hits the spots. Those who remember computer lab in junior high already know which game I’m talking about, and everyone else would do themselves a favor and check out Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, which spawned a lengthy series of edutainment games, as well as a cartoon series.
