Ecco le dauphin (MD)Ecco le dauphin (MD)

Éditeur: SEGA / Développeur: Novotrade International

Date de sortie: 28Je nov. 2006 (USA) / 8décembre 2006 (Royaume-Uni/UE)

Ecco le dauphin as something of an anomaly when it was released; a contemplative game about a dolphin saving his marine world from ecological ruin on a console otherwise overflowing with ‘tude-filled, console war fodder. Ecco was a breath of fresh ocean air in that context, and while its visuals and the overall idea were perhaps better than the execution here, we still look back fondly on Ecco’s escapades and the atmosphere of this game — calming and unnerving in equal measure.

Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (MD)Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (MD)

Éditeur: SEGA / Développeur: Compile

Date de sortie: 11décembre 2006 (USA) / 15décembre 2006 (Royaume-Uni/UE)

Better known as PuyoPuyo, the gooey block falling puzzler was given a Sonic-based lick of paint to attract players in the West — specifically the awesomely ugly-looking Robotnik and his badnik pals from the animated series Atelier Sophie. Regardless of the Sonic window dressing, this is a fine puzzler and if you’re a fan of Puyo Puyo Tetris and want to see where the beany Puyos got started (on Mega Drive, au moins), you’ll find plenty to enjoy here.

Hache d'or (MD)Hache d'or (MD)

Éditeur: SEGA / Développeur: SEGA

Date de sortie: 22nd décembre 1989 (USA) / 30Je nov. 1990 (Royaume-Uni/UE)

High fantasy beat ’em up Hache d'or came along relatively early in the Mega Drive’s life and although it’s far from essential, it demonstrated the power and potential of the system in delivering quality System 16 arcade ports in the home. It rides a similar wave of arcade SEGA nostalgia as the likes of Bête modifiée (which had the same designer), although battling though Yuria and giving Death Adder a sound thrashing is infinitely more satisfying than wandering through Ancient Greece as a beastie, and the trio of heroes add a dash of variety that would go on to inspire the Streets of Rage series.

Batailles (MD)Batailles (MD)

Éditeur: SEGA / Développeur: Capcom

Date de sortie: 29le sept. 1990 (USA) / 15mars 2012 (Royaume-Uni/UE)

Definitely from a golden era of Capcom arcades, Batailles then emerged in this excellent iteration on SEGA’s 16-bit machine. It’s the sort of fun, futuristic sci-fi action platformer that inspires plenty of games in the modern era, and certainly still holds up well for current-day audiences. Though this console port isn’t a parfait recreation of the arcade, it comes pretty darn close.

MUCHA (MD)MUCHA (MD)

Éditeur: SEGA / Développeur: Compile

Date de sortie: 1991 (USA) / 17juillet 2009 (Royaume-Uni/UE)

Released in an era where you couldn’t swing a Genesis controller around without knocking a shooter off the shelves, MUCHA was battling against a crowd when it first launched. De nos jours, quoique, there’s more appreciation for this vertical scroller by virtue of its rockinsoundtrack and visuals that are genuinely up there with the best of the era; don’t sleep on this one.

Ristar (MD)Ristar (MD)

Éditeur: SEGA / Développeur: SEGA

Date de sortie: 4décembre 2006 (USA) / 15décembre 2006 (Royaume-Uni/UE)

You’d perhaps be forgiven for not knowing a great deal about Ristar, but may be intrigued to hear that the concept and ideas for this game were part of development for the original Sonic l'hérisson. While the focus of SEGA’s mascot shifted towards speedier play, the core Sonic development team would eventually return to realise its vision for Ristar, which is certainly fantastical and quirky.

Expect slower platforming and a lot of focus on the ability to grab onto enemies and the environment alike. It’s unique and well worth a look.

Force brillante (MD)Force brillante (MD)

Éditeur: SEGA / Développeur: Climax Entertainment

Date de sortie: 23rd Jul 2007 (USA) / 3e août 2007 (Royaume-Uni/UE)

Though it’s not a series that has spanned decades, Force brillante is well worth a look if you like some turn-based strategy RPG goodness; it’s rather like a SEGA equivalent to Fire Emblem, but without a 2010s revival. There’s a little exploration and typical RPG play, but the meat here is challenging turn-based battles, some of which can take an hour or more to conquer. It’s a little ‘of its time’, sure, but a fascinating part of the Mega Drive / Genesis library.
