From the legendary game developers at Technosoft! Battle against the Vios forces and fly as RYNEX in this side-scrolling shmup that enthralled the world with its innovative ideas, beautiful pixel graphics, and a rocking soundtrack. After beating the game, unlock "STYX" Mode and jump in the cockpit of the distinguished FIRE LEO-03 "STYX" from Thunder Force III. Take the STYX’s full arsenal from the previous game in this mode, but will this older model be able to survive?

SEGA Talk #178: US Box Art Design (1989-2001)

In this episode of Sega Talk, we track the radical evolution of SEGA’s North American branding, from the clinical “graph paper” grids of the Master System to the high-tech “black box” era of the Genesis. We dive deep into why Sega abandoned its uniform look for the iconic red-stripe rebrand of the 90s, the switch to the massive plastic long-boxes of the Saturn, and finally, the Dreamcast’s sleek transition from bright orange swirls to the edgy “SegaNet” black. It’s a nostalgic look at how Sega used graphic design as a weapon in the console wars, shifting from a toy company aesthetic to a lifestyle brand that defined a generation.
