While not the first title to feature 3D “endless” running gameplay, Space Harrier II is the first to feature it on the Sega Genesis. Sega was eager to show off the power of their newly launched console and what better way to do that than with a title that would be severely limited on the […]

Sega, having just launched their Sega Genesis as their second North American console, were looking to bring over titles that showed why this console was better than the competing Nintendo NES and NEC Turbo Grafx-16. Rather than shelling out the money for the Hokuto no Ken (aka Fist of the North Star) license, Sega simply […]

As mentioned in the history article for the Sega Genesis, Altered Beast was the pack in title. For gamers that got into gaming after the original Playstation launched, a pack in game is just that, a game that came with the console, an actual full game- not a demo. Altered Beast was not the greatest […]

Sega was a clear second in the 8-Bit wars against the Nintendo Entertainment System. The Sega Master System was held back by so many problems that Sega was ill-fitted to rectify. With the launch of the Genesis though, Sega was throwing down the gauntlet and pulling out all of the stops. They were focusing on […]

Anyone that has been in gaming from the early days, or at least the late 80’s, will probably remember a time when gaming tried to go Hollywood. What this meant was, actors/actresses and real world stuff was used in more and more games. Not like Mortal Kombat but actual video footage was used to make […]

We recently covered the Sega Dreamcast hard drive modification (here) but today, we are reporting on a new mass storage option. The Sega Dreamcast is getting a USB mass storage option that replaces the GD-ROM drive altogether. Since this is an USB option you are not limited to the size of SD cards (about 128 […]

It is not often that we see a game on Kickstarter that is intending to give profits of the finished game to charity (Child’s Play). That is exactly what is going to happen with Super Galaxy Squadron which has reached the minimum funding level, they are now going for stretch goals which means more platforms. […]

The turtles have been around for many years and if judging by the financial success of the newest movie, that version will be around for at least another movie (and related licensed products). One licensed title that featured the “heroes in a half shell” was the Super Nintendo game, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles […]

It’s the greatest adventure a group of friends could ever embark upon: the search for the long-forgotten haul of a notorious pirate captain. There’s danger, excitement, a little romance thrown in so the boys in the audience can mutter, “Ewww!” and “Yuck!” at the kissie parts. It’s “The Goonies”, directed by Richard Donner, and if […]

Well maybe not everyone but there were quite a few gamers that owned the just discontinued Sega Dreamcast and purchased Alien Front Online. This game was probably one of the worst launches in history as far as picking up any momentum from the publisher. The Dreamcast has been discontinued about half a year prior to […]
