Segaiden #006: Yamato / Champion Tennis / Star Jacker / Champion Baseball (Patreon)
Content
Things are still a little uninspiring in SG-1000 this week, but I promise that's about to change in a significant way. Very good things are ahead in the near future! For now, however, I'm afraid there's a bit of been-there-done-that to these proceedings as we look at a pair of choppy and predictable shooters (well, mostly predictable—Star Jacker's kinda weird!) and a pair of sports games that play reasonably well but aren't a patch on the genre revolutions to come in the months ahead on other platforms. I suppose it's inevitable; Sega churned out a ton of games in 1983, considering their scale and the overall size and maturation of the market, so they clearly weren't all gonna be winners.
