The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Like RPGs? Good! We’ve got a review of the one that started the entire line of Shining games. Sega’s 1991 monster adventure, Shining in the Darkness, ushered in a new era of quality titles that have all maintained some sort of relation to each other, and have spawned over fifteen entries on more than half a dozen consoles. Read on, and see where it all began.
An arcade smash and Genesis original, Super Thunder Blade defied the system’s lack of hardware scaling and showed what some good programming could accomplish. We here at Sega-16 are big fans, and have a full review for your perusal. Come on in and share the love.
Major League Baseball’s race to the playoffs is on, and we have a little something to get you in the spirit. Tommy Lasorda Baseball was the first hardball game for the Genesis, and though it lacked real teams and players, the gameplay and presentation set a high bar for later games.
Say what you want about the 32X, but there were some great games made for it. After Burner Complete is a great example of what could be done with the hardware in the right hands. Check out our full review of one of the best home versions in the series ever, and yet another reason you should reconsider getting that 32X (seriously!).
Everyone likes Ninjas; it’s a fact that not even the 1980s could erase. Genesis owners got treated to a ninja trilogy rivaled only by perhaps Tecmo’s Ryu Hayabusa on the NES. The second game in Sega’s famous series, Shadow Dancer, was altered from its arcade release but still played and looked great on our beloved 16-bit box.
