The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Taito’s legendary Darius series already appeared on Genesis with the sequel, known as Sagaia outside Japan. The original game finally appeared in 2019 for the Mega Drive Mini, and it was based on a proof-of-concept by a homebrew developer. It’s now possible to play the first Darius on your Genesis, and it’s an incredible game well worth spending time with.
Taito brought its Darius goodness to both the Genesis and the Master System (outside the U.S.), and the latter turned out to be a very good version. It’s lacking in some areas, but the overall essence of the game still shines through. Fans will want to try and catch this fish and give it a play.
Taito has given many consoles a taste of its Darius franchise, and the Genesis was no exception. Though the name of the second game was changed to Sagaia, everything else is pure Darius fun. Our full report tells all, and you know you just can’t get enough of those massive space fish!
