The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
The four core Phantasy Star games comprise one of the most legendary RPG franchises in gaming history, breaking conventions and seemingly defying hardware limitations. It all started on Sega’s 8-bit Master System, and we take a deep look at how the first game came together.
Still eating leftovers? Trying to work up the energy to put up the tree and decorate? Why not take a short break and read this month’s Reader Roundtable? There’s a great selection of game that’s sure to bring you some holiday cheer (and relief from all that turkey!).
So much was lost in the Master System port of Strider that fans of the game should avoid it entirely. Dull and sluggish gameplay combine with horrible presentation to create one of the worst arcade conversions on the console. Stick with the Genesis port if you want to beat the Master, but if you must go 8-bit, grab the excellent NES game instead.
Sonic’s latest 2D outing featured a very cool collector’s edition that any Genesis owner would love to have! It’s a beautiful addition to any game room and makes for a great conversation piece. Complete the package with Data Discs vinyl release of the soundtrack, and you have one of the best collector’s sets released this year.
Sonic recently returned with an all-new, 2D adventure that takes the franchise back to its 16-bit glory days. We give it a full hands-on to see if it’s the game we’ve all wanted, and while there might be more of the Genesis games than new content, what’s there is exceptional.
