The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Among the plethora of shmups available on the Genesis is Atomic Robo-Kid, a game that has received heavy criticism over the years. Guess what? It’s about to receive some more. Sega-16 sat down with the game, and came away…less than impressed, to say the least
The Sega CD is home to many an underappreciated title, and over the years many great games have sat in silence, awaiting some long-overdue attention. One example is Android Assault: Revenge of Bari-Arm, a fun and engaging shmup that was largely overlooked by gamers at the time (that probably had something to do with it being released right after Silpheed, which was the center of an absurd amount of hype). Aren’t you lucky then, that we have a full review to give you an idea of what you missed and why you should find yourself a copy ASAP
So many shmups were left in Japan, and sometimes that was a good thing. such was the case with Asmik’s VeryTex, which was pretty darn mediocre. Read our full report to see just how much.
The 32X tried really hard to impress with its 3D visuals, and to be frank, it didn’t really succeed all that often. Sega also tried hard to attract gamers with innovative gameplay ideas, and they even resurrected a long-forgotten franchise in the attempt. Zaxxon’s Motherbase 2000 didn’t exactly do its namesake justice, but didn’t exactly fall on its face either. Check out our full report for all the flat-shaded details!
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.
