The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
This week has been almost all lovin’ for Beggar Prince, and what would our coverage be without an edition of Reader Roundtable? Our staff and some of our readers who purchased the game share their thoughts about this great new RPG in volume eight, and hopefully this will be enough to convince you fence-sitters to get up and buy one of the remaining copies!
After some serious playtime, Sega-16 has finally reviewed Beggar Prince. We would have covered it sooner, but…well, we were too busy playing! After so long, actually getting a chance to play a fresh Genesis RPG is something that tolerates no interruption, and we’re in this one for the long haul. We know you’re enthralled as well (you did buy it, didn’t you?), but why not hit pause yourself and have a look?
Now that Beggar Prince is in people’s homes, what’s next on the agenda for Super Fighter Team? Are they already working on another game? Might we yet see a release of ChuanPu’s Shining Force-esque strategy/RPG Fengshen Yingjiechuan? Sega-16 sat down for some Q&A with the man with the answers, Brandon Cobb.
Ok, give us an upgrade and we expect all the good stuff from before with a few tweaks, as well as some new stuff. What we don’t expect is a game that plays worse than the original, especially when it’s on more powerful hardware. Games like Brutal: Above the Claw was why the 32X was never taken seriously. When your 16-bit version plays better and is more fun, why upgrade? Still, we have a review for those of you considering a purchase anyway. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!
Genesis fans sure do love their shumps. As one of the richest genres on the console, there’s no shortage of great games to play. The Sega CD continued this tradition with excellent original entries like Android Assault and Robo Aleste. It also had its share of ports, and one of the more controversial titles was Hudson’s Lords of Thunder. Long held to be inferior to the Super CD-ROM2 original, we’ve put them through their paces to determine which is the superior version.
