The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Last week, Sega finally released the Sega Genesis Collection for the Playstation 2 and the PSP. Sporting the largest collection of Genesis titles ever released, this awesome disc is chock full of interviews, unlockable games, and a ton of 16-bit fun! We’ve sat down with it for some serious play time, so why not read our complete review and see if this set is worth your $20?
NHL fans might not know it, but there’s another ice hockey league out there that has just as big a fan base. The Swedish Ice Hockey Association has a long and storied history of delivering the best of the sport to European fans, and this did not go unnoticed by game publishers. Electronic Arts, for one, published a modified version of its NHL ’96 with Swedish teams and players. How did it compare to the U.S. version?
You love Xbox Live, and you’re eager to see how the Playstation 3 and Wii will measure up. You probably play PC games online and most likely had a ton of fun on SegaNet with your Dreamcast. But why not see where it all began? Before the Sega Channel and the Xband, there was the TeleGenesis modem, perhaps Sega’s most famous piece of vaporware. Why wasn’t it released in the U.S.? What was the service like in Japan and which games were available?
Ah shmups. Call them shooters or what you will, there’s no denying their appeal. Dashing through space, killing all in your path…it’s a most satisfying way to spend an afternoon; however, sometimes the glory isn’t worth the pain. Take Taito’s Master of Weapon, for instance. If ever a game should have stayed in the arcade, this was it.
With all the different ports there are, we just can’t get enough of putting them up against each other to see which is best. This latest installment of Side by Side sees the Genesis and Turbo Grafx-16 versions of Air Buster/Aero Blasters. Both versions of this classic shmup have their fans, so who gets the victory and who goes home a sad panda?
