The first magazine scan I posted a while back was mistakenly labeled as the first issue of Sega Visions. However, this weeks PDF is the real deal. The June/July 1990 issue of Sega Visions is the publication’s premiere and carries on the tradition of early gaming magazines by serving as a booklet of glorified advertisements. […]
The third installment of Sega’s premiere 3D fighting series seems to suffer from a was could be labeled as middle-child syndrome. While it is a decent game, it had a number of circumstances going against it. The first Virtua Fighter was, of course, a ground-breaking game as Sega brought in its cutting-edge 3D modeling and […]
After the success of the Genesis/Megadrive, Sega tried a little too hard to come out on top in the 32-bit generation. Even though they had the CD-Based Saturn in development, Sega also tried to offer existing Genesis owners a way to “upgrade†their console to a 32-bit machine that could offer more arcade-quality games. The […]
Well, it looks like the whole Magazine-to-PDF feature has been quite a hit so far. However, I’ve been getting a lot of requests for magazines devoted to the Sega Saturn and Dreamcast. Here in the United States, we were never lucky enough to have a Sega fanboy magazine during the 32-bit era. Sega Visions (Sega’s […]
If you ask most gamers to list off the current-generation consoles (soon to be last-gen), the will probably recite “PS2, XBox, and Gamecube”, but conveniently neglect the Sega Dreamcast. As many of you know, the Dreamcast was way ahead of its time ” (literally fifteen months before the PlayStation 2 and three years before GameCube […]
If you grew up in the late 80’s/early 90’s like me, your life probably was saturated with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Those Heroes-In-A-Halfshell appeared just about everywhere including a number of video games. In the early 1990’s, two of my favorite arcade games were Street Fighter 2 and Konami’s TMNT arcade side-scrolling brawler. When […]
After going on mad downloading sprees for years, I took a long break from collecting retro gaming files from around the Net. This is mostly due to the lack of a reliable resource and/or a good selection of things I didn’t already have. However, this past month I was blessed with a membership to Underground […]
I’m following up on the first issue of Sega Visions magazine with the first issue of the beloved Nintendo Power. I can still remember when this issue first came out. I would have just been starting the third grade and I could help but be fascinated with the infamous claymation representation of Mario and the […]
The Sega Dreamcast is quite possibly one of the most versatile console of all time. They also happen to be quite affordable and plentiful. If you don’t already have one, you need to pick one (or two) up. If you already have one, take a look at some hardware and software that will maximize your […]
Over the last decade or two, we have seen a wide variety of gaming hardware — each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Personally, I would love to be able to play with just about every unique piece of hardware at least once. However, some of the most interesting gaming machines are both difficult to […]
I love to flip through old video game magazines. To me, gaming mags only get better with age. That’s why I’m going to do my best to routinely post either full PDFs of entire gaming mags or at least post some interesting clips. To start off, I want to share Sega’s answer to Nintendo Power, […]
Following up on my feature of the Games That Defined The Dreamcast, I wanted to cover the list of the best Sega Saturn games that gave Sega’s 32-bit console its character. The while the Saturn may have failed commercially in comparison to the Sony Playstation, it had a very solid game selection including some very […]
Known as one of the Holy Grails of console game collecting and one of the greatest 2D shooters of all time, Radiant Silvergun does not need an introduction for those schooled in old-school cult-classic gaming. But for those that have begun to search for the greatest games that never made it to the United States […]
The Dreamcast is truly an amazing machine that was ahead of its time. One amazing capability that Sega’s little white box was able to pull off surprisingly well was emulate original Playstation games. Now don’t get your hopes up too much — while some games run quite well, the number of Playstation games that are […]
Just recently on the forums, an interesting but common question was brought up… “If the Dreamcast’s GD-ROM format is about twice the size of a CD-ROM, how is it possible to play all these games using CD-R backups? Do most DC games not use the majority of the disc space? This has never made sense […]
