The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
With all the accessories and peripherals available for the Genesis, you’d think you’d seen it all. Not true, my friend! The good people at Tototek have recently released the latest generation of their famous carts, and the new Mega Cart goes far beyond just playing flashed ROMs. Everything from saving CD game saves to playing imports can all be done with one handy cartridge.
Full motion video attack! Yes, many gamers automatically think of these controversial games whenever the subject of the Sega CD comes up. There are a ton of them, and many deserve the negative comments that spew forth at the very mention of their name. What about Ground Zero Texas, one of Digital Pictures many attempts at making the genre popular? Well, you could possibly consider it the poster boy for everything people hate with FMV games.
Like them or hate them, there’s no denying the undying popularity of Peyo’s little blue people. The Smurfs have spent the past two decades permeating every aspect of our culture (some even say it’s a communist conspiracy!), and yes, even our poor Genesis has been steamrolled by their cuteness. Two games found their way to the European Mega Drive, one of which resurfaced as a rare Mega CD release. The first title puts you in the roles of several of the more popular Smurfs, but how does it compare to other cartoon and comic heroes like Mickey Mouse?
As we say goodbye to the month of February, Sega-16’s staff and readers give one last glimpse of what they’ve been playing. Some gems, a few duds, and some in-betweens have all been getting their fair share of play time, so check out the latest installment of our monthly Reader Roundtable series for all the details!
Dragon’s Lair was a bona fide hit when it arrived in arcades back in 1983. Some twenty-odd years later, the verdict is still out about whether or not it deserves all the fame it’s received. Is it a classic or just a glorified cartoon? Most likely, the world may never know. One thing we do know is that the Sega CD port was a watered down, grainy mess that was almost more than the the system’s single speed drive could handle.
