Released in 1991 on the SEGA Genesis / Mega Drive, Streets of Rage was a side-scrolling beat ’em up with a special attack involving a police car that would shoot tons of explosives at enemies. ScrewAttack takes a look back at this title after the break.
At $800 on eBay, the SEGA TeraDrive “allowed for Mega Drive games to be played the same time as the PC section is being used, as it is possible for the Mega Drive and PC hardware to interact with each other.” Auction page. Video after the break. Click here for first picture in gallery.
Its interface consisted of a start-up menu with several options, including a file manager, DOS, a clock and Mega Drive mode. There is very little English information known about the TeraDrive or about software development on the platform, with any known information relatively scarce.
If you love playing the classic 2D Mario and Sonic games, but don’t want to give up Unreal Tournament, then these custom levels combine the best of both worlds. Continue reading to see more.
Originally slated for release in 1994-1995 at the price of $200, the SEGA Neptune (above) incorporated both the Genesis/Mega Drive and 32X into one console. Development took longer than initially planned, so the console was scrapped in favor of the SEGA Saturn. Fortunately, an engineer put his skills to use and built the SEGA Neptune V2.

This interesting MTV special from the early 1990s has gamers from all over the world competing in a Sonic and Knuckles tournament on Alcatraz. You’ll also get an in-depth look at SEGA’s old headquarters. Video after the break.
Priced at $649.99 on eBay, this SEGA Dreamcast Divers 2000 Series CX-1 System is a “very special version that came with everything a serious user could ever want: a remote, controller, keyboard, vibration pack, internet software, headset and an instruction video.” Auction page.

And even though the built-in screen is fairly small, it is of exceptional quality. The unit is designed to be used every day, and even the antenna doubles as a place to hang the headset when it is not in use. Games are loaded from the top, just like your regular Dreamcast.
Think of SEGA’s Bayonetta as a Devil May Cry-inspired action game. The main character “uses handguns (a pair strapped to her ankles, and a pair in her hands), along with magical attacks she performs with her own hair, to dispatch her foes.” Video after the break.
Insane action is nice, but it’s always good to have a little plot thrown in to keep it all glued together. Bayonetta has some sort of amnesia, people are trying to manipulate her, and Joe Pesci is on her side.

Sloppy Ben Heck apostles should take note, as this tablet follows the two core precepts of console modding: 1.) It is usable, and somehow better than the original.

SEGA’s crazy Storm-G arcade machine is “a futuristic bobsled arcade game that features a cockpit, which physically turns you around at every turn.” Unfortunately, it will only be available in Dubai and Japan. Video after the break.
While simulating tunnels, it’ll also flip you in insane 360-degree circles that are definitely bound to make you puke and give you whiplash.
