Sega, forever the second to Nintendo, had one success story against their former rival. That being the Sega Genesis, especially with the release of Sonic the Hedgehog.

Enix Brings 7th Saga Stateside While Ignoring Gamer Pleas for Dragon Warrior 5 – August 3rd, 1993 – Today in Video Game History
August 2nd, 2016 Carl Williams 7th Saga was a unique experience for fans. Who remembers the strong 8-Bit finale that Enix gave us as they wrote off the Nintendo Entertainment System? They gave gamers ALL four Dragon Warrior games. In Japan these games were called Dragon Quest. In recent years Square Enix has resurrected them under that name on mobile […]

Allied General Lets Players Take on World War II – January 31st, 1996 – Today in Video Game History
January 31st, 2016 Carl Williams Turn based strategy war games are not all that popular in today’s market and that kind of sucks. I grew up playing computer games a lot in the 90’s. It seems that was the golden age for this genre. The late 80’s and early 90’s probably had more turn based strategy war games to enjoy. […]

Six Traditional Strategy Role Playing Games on Android
November 7th, 2015 Carl Williams Okay, I am a retro gamer from the old days. I have been playing since the days of Pong into the Atari 2600 era through to today.

Quest Forge – By Order of Kings is Latest Homebrew Release for Nintendo NES
September 5th, 2015 Carl Williams The Nintendo Entertainment System is a venerable little console, the fans are keeping this thing alive longer than anyone would have thought possible.

Heroes of Might and Magic Coming to Sega Genesis
June 7th, 2015 Carl Williams You read that title right. Heroes of Might and Magic is coming to the Sega Genesis, on a cartridge even. This is great news for turn based strategy fans, and definitely fans of the computer series- which has not graced a cartridge based console, yet (I am ignoring the Game Boy Color remakes). For those […]

Kickstarter: Celestial Tear: Demon’s Revenge Combines Comic Style Artwork with Final Fantasy Role Playing
October 11th, 2014 Carl Williams Role playing games on Kickstarter are, seemingly, a dime a dozen so I am doing my best to only cover the ones that really are interesting titles. Legena, Elysian Shadows, etc are genuinely titles that I think retro gaming fans will enjoy. Now, we can add Demon’s Revenge to that list of projects that are […]

Shining Force CD Slashes onto Sega CD – March 22nd, 1994 -Today in History
March 22nd, 2014 Carl Williams Shining Force is one of those series that Sega really dropped the ball with. The whole “Shining” series probably became too diluted and convoluted for Sega to keep up with anyhow. So they dropped it like a hot potato. Unfortunately this really was one of the series, along with Phantasy Star, that Sega could have […]
