The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
We here at Sega-16 love quirky, off-beat platformers. From Wani Wani World to Flicky, it’s all good, no matter how weird things get. So imagine our reaction when we booted up Man Overboard! S.S.

EA scored a hit with its Mutant League series, but the property ended up being the victim of corporate upheaval, and it disappeared after only two games. Series creator Michael Mendheim had major plans for the franchise, including sequels, a basketball game, and more!
Hot on the heels of the classic Golden Axe series, Sega unleashed Alien Storm upon the arcade scene. It was a game that attempted to add to an already solid formula, and overall made a decent attempt. The Genesis version remains a fan favorite to this day, and hopefully Sega will soon rise from its stupor and give us a proper sequel. Until then, you’ll have to get by with our review of the cartridge version.
You may not know his name, but you’ve almost certainly heard his music before. Noriyuki Iwadare has scored some of gaming’s true classics, including Lunar The Silver Star, Grandia, and Growlancer. He’s a true gaming legend and a Sega Star, which is why he’s the subject of our next installment. Have a read and enjoy!
The only game in the Langrisser series to make it to America, Warsong enamored gamers with its deep gameplay and great music. It’s definitely one title you’ll want on your shelf.
