In one of the few instances where Europe gets super cool things before us in the States, SEGA has dropped an amazing Mega Drive dynamic theme in the latest PS3/PSN update.  A fan’s bedroom from the 90s is the setting, featuring classic games playing on the television with subtle movement of the controller cord.  The [...]

Retro Shopping Network: HUGE LOT OF WOW!~

l, F jS, Y G:i 16 Comments

This auction started and ended over this past weekend and I was pretty tempted to actually bid on these just so that I could say, “I own a shit-ton of broken Genesis consoles.  What of it?”  Then, I’d make a giant suit out of them and show up at a party.  I didn’t have much [...]

SegaAge Releases First Prototype: Swamp Thing

l, F jS, Y G:i 1 Comment

SegaAge is a new Sega fansite from the people behind NintendoAge, which normally wouldn’t be that big a deal–sites come and go, and while having a new Sega site is always exciting, it’s not exactly something to make any real noise over. What is noteworthy, though, is that the site has released its first Mega [...]

I have a [...]

Remember the console wars?  Yeah, we do. We lived them. It’s the early 1990s.  Your old NES is collecting dust, but there’s a new console on the market, the SEGA Genesis.  It was time to put that 8-bit machine to bed in order to get your Blast Processing on.  Sonic is lighting up your television [...]

Custom Launch Base Act 2 Arrangement

l, F jS, Y G:i 9 Comments

I thought this was really, really cool. NewAgeRetroGamer from YouTube whipped up this neato remix of Launch Base Zone’s music from Sonic 3 using TFM Music Maker and Madtracker, citing distaste with the lack of variety in the Act 2 remix of the song from the actual game.

Classic Sonic Game Montage

l, F jS, Y G:i 1 Comment

This is a pretty cool video courtesy of Arcane on the forums earlier today. It’s a montage of all the classic Sonic games played in sequence–normally about a 5 hour task–condensed into about 10 minutes. It’s pretty fun to watch and really brings the length and content of the classic games into perspective. It also [...]

SEGA Still in the Console Wars but NOT REALLY!

l, F jS, Y G:i 7 Comments

No no, calm down fanboys. I wish it were a real leap from SEGA back into the hardware sector, but this unfortunately isn’t the case. What we have here is a game console featuring officially licensed SEGA games as well as 16 other titles which feature “innovative motion controls”. The original posting by pocket-lint.com features [...]
