Preview for Sagaia on Sega Master System from Sega Force 6 - June 1992 (UK)

I usually always gravitate towards Darius Gaiden by default, but this past month I've been delving into the others again thanks to the Darius collections and I'm still amazed just by how creative these all were.
Brilliant series.
And I don't know what it is, but this line goes straight to my soul: 🥰

Swapped the reset cap on my Mark III, so now I can use the (knockoff) EverDrive on it. 10µF to 0.1µF is all it takes. Thanks to Neto from SMSPower for figuring this out. #retrogaming #sega #mastersystem

The Master EverDrive is loaded into an adapter into the board of the Mark III
The main menu of the EverDrive has successfully loaded, showing a list of folders of ROMs.

@ChartreuseK I was also surprised. the cartridge pinout doesn't offer a reset line on the Mark III (it does on the US SMS,) the everdrives in general seem to be really picky about it. You'll see similar weird behaviour when trying to take a knockoff EverDrive N8 to a real NES or a knockoff Famiclone to a real EverDrive for a similar reason.

@leadedsolder @ChartreuseK what about original Krikzz carts? I try to buy those if I can afford it, to support him and UA.
Right now I have only the three games for the SMS.

@OutofPrintArchive Somewhere I have that Asterix game for the Gameboy Advance, where the game is 3D and looks like it could've been a PlayStation title.

Can't remember what it's called or where I put it, but I love this series.

@Bigblue1106
Ah, I don't remember that one.

I did have the one on Super Nintendo though.
And I remember playing the arcade beat em up back in the day, which was super fun.
Such a shame it never got a home port.

And I just have to repeat myself, but I'm in awe of all the incredible artwork in this magazine series.
Just look at that gorgeous Splatterhouse piece right here!

I have a hard time wrapping my head around how the artist was able to create so many pieces each and every month for Sega Force as well as N-Force!

Oliver Frey was truly in a class of his own!

@OutofPrintArchive Oof, not a classic month for History’s Greatest Console(tm) there.

@yesterzine
Yeah, this was a bit of a rough one.
But is issue 4 it's back to having tons of incredible games.

It's really fascinating to see how game droughts from back in the early 90's are preserved in these magazines.
I still remember for example, how it felt early on in the Super Nintendo days after launch.
Very slim picking for the next 3 months or so while I waited for the next releases to finally arrive.
When they did, it opened up the floodgates. 😅

@alexkidman for a young kid, it was difficult, that boss was always a pain. I think I beat it, but it was never one of my favourite games

alexkidman,
@alexkidman@aus.social avatar

@sortius Totally fair call -- as noted in my writeup, it's better than most movie games of its time, but not a great "game" in a play sense.

Took a quick picture of the Sega Force magazines that just arrived.
All 19 issues are here and in good shape.
As well as the few CVG issues I was missing from the run that I'm working on. Mainly the Freeplay supplement that was missing in issue 194 as well as issue 154 that I didn't have.

I'll start scanning the first issue of Sega Force later tonight. 😊

It really was only a matter of time before this retro title was my retro game of the week. I mean, it's only THE BEST GAME OF ALL TIME.

My student debt owed so much to the fact that there was a cabinet running this in my student guild.

@Hedgewizard that sounds like a wise investment of funds to me.
