Shenmue was a long shot for Sega. It was released on the Sega Dreamcast in late 1999 and fans either loved it or hated it. I am not here to debate that scenario. Instead, the point of this article is to discuss the work of Francois Montag. Check out his work on recreating the Sakuragaoka […]

June 11th, 2020 Carl Williams Oh Sega. You just announced Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX and it is great looking.

June 7th, 2020 Carl Williams The Final Shell Shock brings the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) to the world of Streets of Rage. This is an alternate timeline, alternate universe, tale of Streets of Rage 2. That gives the game a bit of leeway to play with.

Data East Saves Mega Turrican on Sega Genesis – June 7th, 1994 – Today in Video Game History
June 6th, 2020 Carl Williams Mega Turrican can be viewed as Turrican 3. This is mainly because it was marketed as such on the Commodore Amiga. On that platform this game was called Turrican 3: Payment Day. Originally planned for release in 1993, Factor 5 would have to wait almost a year for launch. Data East picked up worldwide distribution […]

Mortal Kombat Invades Streets of Rage 2 Part 1
May 30th, 2020 Carl Williams While Streets of Rage 4 is still riding high on fan support, other fans have been keeping an earlier entry alive. Part of that effort is adding new characters to Streets of Rage 2, released on Sega Genesis in the early 1990’s. One of the more interesting hacks I have discovered adds Mortal Kombat characters […]

Sega Arcade Pop Up Book Inbound
March 29th, 2020 Carl Williams Sega used to rule the arcades. Older readers will remember the glory days of tokens and quarters. From Out Run to Hang-On and After Burner, Sega arcade games stood out.

16 Bit Resident Evil Demake Now Called Bio Evil
March 1st, 2020 Carl Williams What would Resident Evil have looked like had Capcom released it on the Sega Genesis? A 16-bit platform that would obviously require a change in perspective – gone would be the 3D polygon enemies and pre-rendered backgrounds. While we may never know what Capcom’s take on survival horror would look like in 16-bits, we can […]

Sega CD Classic Adventure Game Seeing Rerelease
February 20th, 2020 Carl Williams Quick, who remembers The Secret of Monkey Island? Specifically, the Sega CD version. For console gamers, like me, this was my first taste of Lucasfilm adventure games. While I had a computer, it was an old Color Computer II which was used to write short stories and the like. Gaming was not an option on […]
