Interview: Fonzie Voltnov (Watermelon Games Programmer)

by 1 comment

There have been some efforts over the last few years to finish up and release those few Sega CD titles that never made it to market, such as the ChuChu Rocket inspired Mighty Mighty Missile, and most recently Burning Fists: Force Striker. These two made their appearances on the Sega CD as commerical releases published by Good Deal Games and can be purchased from them, along with a few other Sega CD rarities. Sega-16 recently had the chance to talk to one of the people involved with these two games, as well as the great new Mega Cart by Tototek, Fonzie Voltnov. He shared his experiences on after-market products for the Genesis and Sega CD, as well as some upcoming projects.

by 3 comments

1993 saw the release of Francis Ford Coppola’s version of the horror classic Bram Stoker’s Dracula. The film tried to remain faithful to the novel while injecting a more modernized interpretation of everyone’s favorite vampire. Such a concept sounds like it would make for a great video game, right? Well, it did, and that’s why we have the Castlevania series. Unfortunately, Sony Imagesoft decided to license the film for a game released for several platforms, including the Sega CD. The latter included FMV cut scenes and cool-looking rendered backgrounds but not much else of note.

Mr. Nutz

Oh my dear Sonic, what have you started? It seems that your breakout success sparked a deluge of would-be mascots that felt they had the same spark you did, but when the dust finally settled, those that weren’t buried under the piles of unsold cartridges wallowed in misery at the unemployment office. Some were thankfully lost to time, and others like Mr. Nutz got another fifteen minutes of fame with a attempted comeback in the modern era, which is about fourteen more then he deserved.

Hands-On: Sonic & the Secret Rings (Nintendo Wii)

by 0 comments

Sega-16 follows each of the stars who made their debut on the Genesis, no matter where time and new technology may take them. No star in Sega’s line up is brighter than Sonic The Hedgehog, and the wiley little mammal has had more than his fair share of disappointments since making the transition to 3D. The good news is that Sonic & the Secret Rings on the Nintendo Wii may change all that.
