Where Have all the 2D Heroes Gone?

admin

Okay, I’m gonna start this little rant off with a confession. I am a member of the Old School of Gaming. I’m 20 years old and I’ve been playing video games for as far back as I can remember, 16 years to be exact. Most kids grew up on Mother […]

How Many Titles Can a Saturn Owner Support?

admin

Since the site has recently received quite a few lines from Saturn owners bragging about our devotion to Sega’s console, I’ve decided to add my two cents. Saturn is my favorite system because it allows me to surf the net while watching “Politically Incorrect”, it allows me to play Sega’s […]

Lunar – Delayed Again – No Surprise Here!

admin

The latest word is that Lunar has been pushed back to 1998 and we all know what that means (maybe never). To all those folks who wrote editorials predicting this event, “your crystal balls were very clear”. If you wrote an editorial against Working Design, the e-mail would come in […]

Black Belt or Black Eye?

Sega’s 64-bit system is coming. What can we expect? Other than the Genesis, Sega does not have any real success stories with hardware. Now that the Saturn looks to be a non-player in the current system wars, Sega really needs a good hardware platform. To say that their next system […]

And before that, he was in charge of Atari Corp’s Lynx team, which we all know died a horrible flaming death because third party support was non-existant (that should have been […]

Have We Forgotten?… Dr. I.M. Psycho

admin

Having been a gamer for 16 years, I have noticed something which has always greatly disturbed me. That is the great war of the console systems. It’s been going on for as far back as I can remember. Atari vs. Coleco Vision, NES vs. Sega Master System, Genesis vs. SNES […]

Sega Had The Bomb, But Never Pushed The Button!

admin

It’s incredible that Sega never utilized the one weapon that set the Saturn apart from it’s competitors. Netlink could have been the nuclear bomb of the gaming wars, instead Sega turned it into a peashooter. XBAND had a thriving community of gamers who miss the thrills and convenience of that […]

The Best Ever

admin

It has been a few years since the “death” of the Sega Saturn, and I found it a good time to reflect on the state of Sega, as well as take a retrospective look on everyones favorite (or not) 32-bit system. A little background here,.. I got the Sega Saturn […]
