Tiny Diggers – An iPad Construction Truck Game for Kids Age 2-5

Sega 16, the excellent resource for all things Sega, has posted a retrospective on the Mega Drive (Genesis) that was published in issue #27 of Retro Gamer Magazine.

Nintendo’s fate has often been intertwined with the Mega Drive system. They’ve long had a history of benefiting from Sega in one form or another, often due to the direct competitive challenge they posed. The SNES would have been nothing without the MD; the reverse is also true. It was the MD which forced Nintendo’s hand into updating their aged NES hardware, and it was also the MD which changed the market forever, cutting a trail towards the situation today.

Written by The Escapist writer John Szczepaniak, Retroinspection: Mega Drive talks about how the seminal system brought Sega from a complete underdog with almost no market penetration, to the first real threat of Nintendo’s dominance of the industry.

As with most articles written for Retro Gamer Magazine, it is extremely informative and entertaining. Well worth a read for anyone who grew up during the "Nintendo vs. Sega" wars of the early 90′s.
