Developed by Sega AM4 R&D Division, Sega AM3 R&D Division Released Jul 30, 1997 Also For Arcade, Windows Manx TT Super Bike was released for the Sega Saturn in 1997, sadly by this stage the console’s time was coming to an end, as a result many gamer’s have never played it. That is a real shame as this game is a real treat very much up there with Sega’s other greats such as Virtua Racing and Daytona Usa. This game has superb graphics and sound (especially the clearly drunk commentator), the gameplay is…

Published by SEGA Enterprises Ltd. Developed by Realtime Associates, Inc. Released May 15, 1995 Also For Windows, Windows 3.x Being a massive fan of 2d platform games on the 16 bit consoles I was very excited to try one on the 32 bit machines and my first experience of one was on the Sega Saturn. To be totally honest Bug is a bit of a mixed bag. Firstly the graphics are disappointing, I am sure the game could have been released on the Megadrive or Snes to be honest. Infact I would say the…

Published by SEGA of America, Inc. Developed by SEGA-AM2 Co., LTD. Released Apr 01, 1995 Also For Arcade, Windows They say never judge a book by it’s cover and that has never more true than with Daytona Usa on the Sega Saturn.  When this game was released back in the summer of 1995 it looked terrible, the graphics suffered from low resolution, random pop up and awful glitches. It was made even worse by comparing it to the sublime Playstation conversion of Ridge Racer. However, once you get past these issues the gameplay is fantastic. Ported…

Published by Capcom Entertainment, Inc. Developed by Capcom Co., Ltd. Released Oct 01, 1996 Also For Arcade, PlayStation 3, PSP, PS Vita, SEGA Saturn, SNES, Wii, Wii U, Windows   Street Fighter Alpha 2 came out for the Saturn in late 1996. To be honest when it first came out I ignored it! Capcom had released 7 different Street Fighter games in just 4 years and sales were declining as a result. I did read in the magazines of the time that it was a fantastic game and when I finally picked it up…

Published by SEGA Enterprises Ltd. Developed by Sega AM3 R&D Division Released 1995 Also For Arcade, N-Gage, PlayStation 2, Windows   I first played Sega Rally at an arcade in Herne Bay around 1996, being a huge fan of both Virtua Racing and Daytona USA.  I was looking forward to trying AM2’s latest arcade racer. To my great surprise it surpassed any racer I had ever played before (even Namco’s Ridge racer another favourite). The handling on the game was fantastic, much less twitching than other racers of the time and graphically the game was…

Released Jan 13, 1993 Also For Arcade, Game Gear, iPhone, Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation 3, SEGA Master System, Wii, Windows, Xbox 360 Right I know this is cheating doing a review on SOR when it has already been done… But on the Mega CD?! WHOOPAH! Being the avid gamer that I am, I never actually ever played on a Mega CD (they were so expensive and I was more of a Nintendo boy before they sold their soul for a sherbert dip and…

Developed by Midway Released Sep, 1994 Also For Amiga, Arcade, DOS, Game Boy, Game Gear, PlayStation,PlayStation 3, SEGA 32X, SEGA Master System, SEGA Saturn, SNES Eric Bowden Review When Mortal Kombat 2 was released back in the autumn of 1994 it caused uproar in the press due to the sheer amount of violence, blood and gore in the game. So much so that the United States Senate bought in emergency legislation to deal with violence in video games, this eventually lead to games receiving age rating in…

We completed the game after a few days and replayed it whenever we could. I loved it, but when I eventually bought a Sega Megadrive and received Golden Axe with it I soon released that the Amiga version was the poor relation.…

Developed by Sega Technical Institute, Sonic Team Released Nov 24, 1992 Also For Android, BlackBerry, iPad, iPhone, Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation 3,Wii, Windows, Xbox 360   I loved Sonic the Hedgehog but Sonic 2 raised the stakes with its 2 player split screen mode.  I first played this sequel on a Sega promotional bus touring the country and I was wowed by it. My parents got me the Megadrive 2 and Sonic 2 pack for Christmas and I think you can work out what I spent my days playing. The visuals…
