My Life with SEGA enters the Last Battle

The 2-Man Scramble 2-Part Special comes to an end with Last Battle. Yes, I know; how appropriate. My final penance for Wirehead, and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Universal Soldier may have been a 16-bit insult to both gamers and the 1992 film it was supposedly based on, but Last Battle is a laughably bad adventure title that never should have seen the light of day….

What, you don’t believe me? Watch this video and tell me I’m exaggerating.

My Life with SEGA suffers head Troma while playing Toxic Crusaders

In this “classic” episode of My Life with SEGA, I revisit the Toxic Crusaders for the SEGA Genesis. Hey, the Toxic Crusaders? Yeah, I’m talking about the video game based on the animated series, which was adapted from Troma’s hyper-violent action/horror film franchise featuring everyone’s favorite environmentally-conscious super hero; the Toxic Avenger!

A video game based on a failed cartoon based on an hyper-violent movie series…. yeah, this has to be awesome!

Up from the depths, My Life with SEGA tackles Godzilla Generations

What’s this? My second review of a Dreamcast title? Don’t get your hopes up. It’s not Shenmue. Believe me, I wish it was. Instead, I’m reviewing Godzilla Generations. A Japanese launch title, which just so happens to be a Dreamcast exclusive….

Good. That means it can’t spread. Yeah, I know. “What are you talking about? Godzilla’s awesome!” Oh, Godzilla’s all well and fine, but this game? Just watch it and count yourself among the lucky ones.

Expand your mind as My Life with SEGA reviews Saturn expansion carts

Import Month continues with my review of the SEGA Saturn expansion cartridges from two arcade masters; Capcom and SNK. In addition, we’ll be looking at several arcade classics that utilize these carts, such as X-Men vs Street Fighter, Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter, Metal Slug, Amakusa’s Revenge: Samurai Showdown IV and King of Fighters ’95.

The Saturn was a capable 2D machine upon release. Is it even possible to improve on it without resorting to a more power console? See for yourself.

Import Month: My Life with SEGA sinks his teeth into Dracula X

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night was a sleeper hit in North America when it landed on the Sony PlayStation way back in 1997. Beautifully drawn 2D sprites with dazzling 3D effects, and a brilliant score. There’s a very good reason why many fans consider it the very best of the franchise. As incredible as the game already is, Konami released an expanded version for the SEGA Saturn….only in Japan.

That’s right; it’s import month on My Life with SEGA. This week, I’m reviewing Dracula X: Nocturne in the Moonlight for SEGA Saturn. If you’re a fan of the American version, as well as the Saturn, you’re probably thinking, “Holy shit! The Saturn is one of the best 2D gaming machines ever created. This is gonna’ blow the PlayStation outta’ the water!”

Also, a reminder that the SEGAbits 3rd anniversary contest is going on now – win prizes like a SEGA Genesis, Genesis games and brand new My Life With SEGA DVD’s! All the details can be found here.

It’s My Life with SEGA morphin’ time in Power Rangers Pt. II

The not-so-epic conclusion to the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: 2-Man Scramble, where I – A.J. Rosa – force Mickey Mac to play the SEGA CD version of Power Rangers. Unlike Demolition Man and Batman Returns, this wasn’t simple expansion of the cartridge game; it’s an FMV quick-time battle romp that uses actual footage from the television series.

There’s no strategy to it like Wirehead. All you have to do is NOT FUCK UP! Well, this is My Life with SEGA, so the likely-hood of that is zero-to-none. Enjoy!

My Life with SEGA battles bizarre monsters in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers

In this “classic” episode, Mickey Mac and I perform our very first 2-Man Scramble with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers for the SEGA Genesis. This was supposed to be a one-time thing where we’d play a couple of games and move on but, we had so much fun making ’em, I decided to make 2-Man Scramble a staple of My Life with SEGA.

Tune in next week for Pt. II, where I force Mickey Mac to play the SEGA CD version for the first/last time. Yes, I’m an asshole.

SEGA CD Month – My Life With SEGA returns with Batman Returns

Well, SEGA CD Month – Hell, this year – has come to an end. Before we call it a night, the bat, the cat and the penguin have something to show us; Batman Returns. While the movie split both critics and audiences, this game has been met with praise due to it’s impressive pseudo-3D graphics, exciting gameplay and kick-ass soundtrack….

But is there more hiding beneath that cowl? Let’s take a peek.
