We live in a time where a Sega console is only the subject of legend. The new generation might be surprised that they were a company who used to produce gaming consoles but my friends and I have had a very good relationship with the Sega Megadrive and the Saturn. That was until console sales dropped and Sega was forced to cease its hardware manufacturing and focus only on game production.
At the half of this decade, new and exciting games were published and one of them that made a notable dent in the market was Guitar Hero. Using Guitar Hero was like reliving one’s dreams of becoming a rockstar hence its high popularity.
To my surprise Techtoy, a Brazillian gaming company is still making the Megadrive/Genesis and Master System and they have been successful in innovating the once thought extinct system. Now they have come up with the Mega Drive 4 Guitar Idol which is a white affair and comes with 87 classic SEGA 16bit games. The game is pure 16 bit goodness and tries to emulate the entire Guitar Hero affair but not too much to illicit a lawsuit.
The game looks good and if Techtoy can distribute it to other countries it will be unstoppable.
