The latest Sonic mobile title is a 2D endless runner, similar in scope to Pac-Man Dash and Rayman: Jungle Run. Sonic automatically runs through a Windy Hill-styled stage and you have to tap the screen to make him jump. That’s all there is to it. Click here to read our full review of Sonic Runners.

Follow on Twitter @kronkblats Review: World of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse and Donald DuckMonday, February 2nd, 2015
1990’s Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse was an early hit for the Mega Drive. The SEGA-developed platformer was an excellent little game full of beautiful scenarios, smart level design and tight controls and it was gently dipped in that lovely, Disney goo that makes the experience all the more magical. A sequel was inevitable and the next two years saw Castle of Illusion making its way to Master System and Game Gear. An original sequel for the 8 bit consoles came in the form of Land of Illusion and then things came full circle with another Mega Drive game in the form of World of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck (that title is quite a mouthful).

The final Streets of Rage game is a polarising one. While the first two games in the series are universally praised as classic beat-em-ups, the third game just doesn’t get the same amount of love. This might be because depending on whether you’re playing a Japanese or a Western version of the game you’re in for a quite a different experience.

Another retro review! Today we’re tackling the Mega Drive port of perennial AM2 arcade classic After Burner II.

Alien Storm is an often ignored entry in SEGA’s beat-em-up history for reasons that aren’t particularly clear. Did the humour put off the die-hard SEGA fanbase? Were SEGA fans simply not interested in anything that wasn’t Streets of Rage or Golden Axe? Who knows. Regardless, we think it’s a game you should check out and now we have a review explaining exactly why we think it’s worth your time.

Snatcher marks Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima’s second time as a video game director. The game was originally released in 1988 and was remastered and translated into English only once. The English language version of Snatcher appeared on the Mega-CD in 1994 and since Kojima’s breakout success with Metal Gear Solid, the game is become a highly sought-after title. But is the game any good? Find out in our full review of Snatcher for the Mega-CD! Webmaster and lead writer at SEGADriven. Likes old games, heavy music and too much pizza.

We love our shmups at SEGADriven and we’ve recently been playing quite a few on the Mega Drive.

Follow on Twitter @kronkblats Feature: The Sonic Show – The Complete Mess CollectionSaturday, November 1st, 2014
The Sonic Show is 8 years old this year. That’s a long time to be running a Sonic-centric video series. Originally hosted on its own website, it now operates exclusively out of YouTube. To celebrate this milestone the show is releasing its first collection exclusive music and it’s called The Complete Mess Collection which to be frank is quite fitting.

Follow on Twitter @kronkblats Feature: Julian Hazeldine’s Speedrun: The Unauthorised History of Sonic the HedgehogTuesday, July 1st, 2014
Well isn’t this an interesting little revelation! Julian Hazeldine has produced a book entitled Speedrun: The Unauthorised History of Sonic the Hedgehog. Yes; an actual book! About Sonic! Reading material about the Sonic franchise is pretty thin when you consider the only other book in this market is Pix’n Love’s The History of Sonic the Hedgehog so we happily welcome some competition. But is the book any good? You can find out in our SEGADriven exclusive review by clicking below. Webmaster and lead writer at SEGADriven. Likes old games, heavy music and too much pizza.

Risky Woods is a notoriously difficult Amiga game that features a fantasy setting. You must navigate the stages freeing monks from stone statues to progress whilst avoiding an unbelievably large number of enemies that consistently respawn. The Mega Drive port goes some way to try and correct these flaws but does it do enough? Click here to be taken to the full review of Risky Woods for the Mega Drive.
