The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
It came out of the blue and gave gamers a quick reminder of what the Genesis was still capable of. Virtua Fighter 2 was truly something no one expect to see on a 16-bit console, but one question remained: how did it measure up?

It’s sad to see all the hate that Phantasy Star gets. Its biggest crime? Detouring from the established storyline, something Phantasy Star Online has been doing for more than half a decade. It may lack that special charm that fans love about the other three installments, but it’s still a pretty decent RPG in its own right.
Westone’s reinvention of the Wonder Boy series reached a new level of greatness with this excellent action/RPG, and it in turn set the stage for the masterpiece that is Monster World IV. Every self-respecting gamer needs to give this one a play, so check out our review and see why your collection is incomplete without it.
Hot on the heels of the classic Golden Axe series, Sega unleashed Alien Storm upon the arcade scene. It was a game that attempted to add to an already solid formula, and overall made a decent attempt.

Until then, you’ll have to get by with our review of the cartridge version.
Some games are hard. Not enough to frustrate, but just enough to pose a serious challenge. Other games seek to dominate you completely, and you’re feeble skills are no match for their relentless and never-ending onslaught. Sub-Terrania is one such title, and it’s a game where there’s really no middle ground. You either like it or hate it.
