🕹️ Bytes of Gaming History ⏳ A glimpse of Sega Japan sometime in 1991 during the development of Golden Axe too, snapped from a Megaforce magazine feature. Not only do we get a lovely photo of Sega HQ in Tokyo, but some very cool shots of how game art was created and then digitised onto the screen.
A photo of Sega HQ, a white-and-glass tower, seen from an upward looking angle so it loomsTwo Sega artists at a Digitizer Mark III unit, with one standing and pointing at a screen with a large sprite of Ax Battler on the screen while another manipulates a mouse-like device over a large pad while sat in front of the terminal.A really neat shot of the Digitizer Mark III and its screens, and a very busy desk with floppies and the digitizer pad and handheld device you slide around it.A snot of the studio/workshop with many desks and computers and crt monitors filling every square foot of space aside from space to walk around

Razing core is a fast-paced vertical shooter that will challenge even the most hardened 8-bit pilots, and it does so with virtually no slowdown or flicker. It shows what the Master System can do and should definitely be on the radar of any shmup fans. www.sega-16.com/2026/09/razi...

OutRun is still my favorite arcade game of all time. It's the perfect blend of smooth control, great level design, and amazing presentation that makes you feel like you're driving. It probably has the best Sega soundtrack of all, as well (fight me!).

25 years ago today, I was in my classroom, correcting papers, when a student rushed to my door and told me "New York was on fire." It was during the recess period, so I figured his rant was due to an excess of sugar and adrenaline from playing. Then, the religion teacher came to my door...

CRT screenies of an unreleased Battletech game for Mega/Sega-CD that I just had a tinker around with: Gray Death Legion. Due to be released in 1995 and developed by Absolute Entertainment, this would have been a first-person arcade sim similar to the Super Nintendo BT/Mechwarrior game.
A snap of the richly detailed cockpit, all greenish and techie, with a cool rotating radar, with a burning hot desert world outside. Our mech's guns are blazing as another opens fire at us.A snap from another part of the rolling demo showing a tactical map with waypoints and objective markers, shown in an in-universe analogue techie way.A cool hub base star map of a star system with orbital rings and planets.Another cockpit shot, very cool stuff

Sega tapped into the cultural zeitgeist with Shinobi, an action-packed title that launched one of its most beloved franchises. With varied stages, huge bosses, and great sword-slashing action, the game remains as tough to conquer today as it was in 1987. www.sega-16.com/2026/09/shin...
