The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
The Game Gear is beginning to get more aftermarket releases, and one you should definitely look out for is Dracula’s Castle. It’s a Japanese, single-screen, action/maze game that is simple enough to get into quickly but that will become quite challenging over the course of its 32 stages. The lack of a password features hurts it somewhat, but there’s still a lot of fun to be had here, and you don’t need to know Japanese to enjoy it!
Not content to bring its arcade classic, Darius, to Sega’s 16-bit mini console release, M2 further refined the game for a full-blown cartridge release called Darius Extra Version. The game improves several areas significantly, making it more robust than arcade original and offering Genesis owners perhaps the seminal version of Darius.
The first 3D shooter in almost two decades arrived on the Dreamcast in early 2021. Xenocider combined fast-paced action with presentation and gameplay one would expect from an official release back in 1999. It’s a great shooter romp that shows Sega’s last console isn’t done thinking.
