The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Being a fireman isn’t easy, and let me tell you, playing a FMV game about one is no picnic either! Though you’re safe from the heat, it’s hell on your fingers as you struggle to press the correct command in time! Seriously, another one of Sega’s full-motion releases for the Genesis CD add-n, Fahrenheit wasn’t that bad a game, and Sega was nice enough to include a much cleaner 32XCD version along with the stock CD game for the same price.
When you think full-motion video games, only one piece of hardware comes to mind: the Sega CD. It boasts perhaps the largest selection of FMV titles, and not all of them are as bad as their reputation would have you believe. Some are actually pretty fun, even funny. Take Wirehead, for example. Cheesy and full of groan-inducing moments, it’s humorous enough to keep you engaged until the end.
The Sega CD sure does love it some full-motion video! Nowhere else can such a massive repository of the genre’s best (?) offerings be found, and few, if any, are more famous (infamous?) than Sewer Shark. Rob Fulop and Digital Pictures united to release the single best-known example of FMV any console has ever known, and we just had to cover it!
Racing has many faces, from the dirty danger of rally competition to the chaotic madness that takes place on city streets. With so many different options, it seems as though there’s something for everyone, and while all are loved, none are more prestigious than formula one racing. So why then, did Sega’s Formula One World Championship for Sega CD try its best to burn rubber on such a grand legacy?
The story of Peter Pan has been around for over a century, and while everyone knows the classic Disney rendition, many have tried to put 1991’s “sequel” Hook out of their minds. Love it or hate it, it was a huge hit, telling the story of a grown up Peter who must return to Never Never Land to rescue his children from Captain Hook. In typical summer blockbuster fashion, it received a video game for several consoles. Sega fans had their hopes raised for the Sega CD version, expecting all kinds of goodness. Instead, they got the Genesis game with a CD soundtrack.
