The out of print archive guys who basically scan old magazines and bring them back to life for future generations are at it again with a new release:
As we go from strength to strength, we move on from Club Nintendo to some Sega loving instead with issue 4 of MegaDrive Advanced Gaming that came out in December of 1992.
As a preview for the full magazine, let's start off by looking at some classic Mega Drive reviews.
First up we have the timeless classic by none other than Sonic Team: Sonic the Hedgehog 2. We move on to a great little strategy gem by Koei that seems to have been all but forgotten over the years: Gemfire. from here, we look towards a couple bigger names as we have a gander at the reviews for Lemmings as well as Prince of Persia for the Mega CD. Enjoy!

Heres a news article that for fans of the Dreamcast like myself are hoping comes true, heres the news from eurogamer:
Retro-bit, a big name in retro clone hardware, has signed a deal with Sega to make accessories for the Mega Drive, Saturn and Dreamcast consoles. Wait - what? Those consoles have been dead and buried for years. Either there's a sudden demand for the original controllers, or...
Or the NES and SNES Classic minis have inspired Sega to follow suit. I might be miles off but those retro remakes have been been huge hits for Nintendo, and the prospect of a Dreamcast mini is tantalising.
"The first products and concepts under the agreement include several accessories that feature the same great quality as their original Sega counterparts like the original console port, but also with modern upgrades such as a USB port for PC compatibility and Bluetooth wireless technology," said Retro-bit's announcement.
"With retro gaming on an upswing," commented Titi Ngoy, president of Retro-bit distributor Innex, "we are pleased to offer officially SEGA-licensed accessories in their original format as well as apply the innovative classic gaming enhancements that have become the hallmark of Retro-Bit.
"We're excited to unveil the first of these new products and concepts at CES." The Consumer Electronics Show takes place 9th-12th January in Vegas.
Question is, which games would a Dreamcast mini come with? The SNES mini comes pre-installed with 21 games. Shenmue? Soulcalibur? Crazy Taxi?
Digital Foundry reviewed Retro-bit's Super Retro Trio console a few years ago. This remarkable beast features slots to play original Mega Drive, Nintendo and Super Nintendo cartridge, and only cost £40!

Its time for Megadrive fans to get some translation love:
Now that the dust has settled after the Christmas holiday some folks celebrate, an English language translation patch has arrived to ring in the new year! Announcing the v0.9 public beta English language translation patch for Battle Golfer Yui on the Sega Mega Drive.
Battle Golfer Yui is an Adventure/RPG/Golf game hybrid about an evil organization making cyborg “battle golfers” in order to take over the world. Their latest targets are high school buddies Yui Mizuhara and Ran Ryuzaki. As the main character Yui, you must pit your golf skills against members “Hazzard” to discover what’s happened to your friend Ran.
This public beta translates the game’s text and graphics to English, fixes some bugs, and adds a splash screen. The modified game has been played to completion, but a closed beta was not conducted, and there may be bugs or issues with the J-E translation. Please report any issues you encounter. A 1.0 release is planned, with any issues fixed, or simply a rename of this patch if none are found.
Special thanks to Supper for the extensive and timely graphics & hacking work, Guest for the initial tools, MariusB for the thread about Genesis translations, mz and Paul Jensen for translation support via the message board, and everyone who plays the beta and provides feedback. Enjoy the patch, and have a happy new year!

Rhea is an SD card based replacement for the optical drive in Saturn console. heres the latest news concerning it:
Consider it a late Xmas present: There is a new FW for Rhea/Phobe that should fix those few games that use CDDA for voiceovers. It’s probably not a complete list but the affected titles are:
- Taito Chase HQ
- Side Pocket 2
- Space Jam
- Nobunaga no Yabou Shouseiroku
- Monster Slider
I did test it but not very extensively and the code change is significant so new bugs might manifest too
Speaking of bugs, keep in mind that Bug! works but only when booted cleanly without RMENU. And obviously the fixed games I mentioned do require the images to contain all the subchannel data to work – so make sure your dump is correct. I will ignore any problem/bug reports from people who can’t tell, but I realize not everyone knows (or want’s to know) such technical details. So as a rule of thumb a CUE/BIN format doesn’t have subs (yet another reason why it’s shit) but CCD does. If it was properly dumped from original disc anyway. Same for CDI but this format defaults to no subs so again you need to know how to rip the CD properly or you will end up with an image that doesn’t quite work. MDS/MDF is like CDI, it can carry subs but it’s not the default setting.
This whole format issue comes back every now and then, and each time I hear the argument that CUE is not so bad – 90% of games work without issues. Well, I don’t aim for 90%, I aim for 100%.

Another announcement from Dreamcast ES is a new music game for the Dreamcast?
BeatTendency (BT) , is a musical style game in the style of BeatMania, DJHero, etc. A game where our ability with our ears and fingers go hand in hand. Our aim is to match the musical notes to the rhythm of the music and get a good score to be able to overcome the level.
The author comments that the game is being developed for the Sega Dreamcast console with BennuGD in principle. The idea of it was born for the reason of becoming known as "new indie video game developer" since he would like to be able to dedicate himself to it professionally, because, despite being a programmer at the moment, he has always had the thorn in his head for making games.
The author does not rule out making ports for other systems such as PSP, GP2X or Saturn ...
You can read a lot more of the project in our web friend segasaturno.com

Heres some news thanks to our friends over at the Spanish Dreamcast Site:
As our little friend "VasiliyRS" told us, it was launched as a project for Mega Drive on Kickstarter, a new game that is being developed in the " Bitmap Bureau " offices , an independent development studio founded in February 2016 and located in Southampton, United Kingdom. The game, named Xeno Crisis will be a top-view shooter, inspired by classics such as Smash TV, against, Zombies Ate My Neighbors , among others. This jewel, soon to be published in both physical and downloadable format, had such reception and support that it managed to reach the goal of US $ 26,873, in just under four days since it was launched in kickstarter. So much was the joy of the developers who decided to listen to the recommendations of the sponsors and launched a reward that consisted of reaching the figure of £ 35,000, to give life to a version for SEGA Dreamcast , not to mention that they easily reached that sum and for That reason are reading this news. The Dreamcast version is available from US $ 40.00 or, if you have already ordered the Mega Drive / Genesis version, for about US $ 54.00, you can add another US $ 25.00, to obtain both versions. Among other things, the game will have a cooperative mode for two players and it is expected to be completed by October 2018. Visit the project website for more details: Xeno Crisis on kickstarter
