In fact, I was not even aware of its existence until recently. If you enjoy action games with exploration elements such as Metroid […]
Every now and then, Sega asks its [remaining] fans to see what franchise or character it should focus on for future game development.

I’ve been cleaning up the files on my PC, including a number of useful text files. Among these files is a tutorial that I picked up a while back that let people put multiple Dreamcast games on a single CD-R. This can be pretty helpful if you want to put a few of your favorite […]
Even though its younger sibling, the Sega Dreamcast, may get all the fame when it comes to a great homebrew community, the Sega Saturn still has a loyal following of developers.
