When you think “Sega” and “Rally”, you’re probably picturing in your head the amazing coin-op (and console) series which began life with one of 1995’s best racing games. However, French animator, painter and software developer Anaël Seghezzi has something a little different in mind when combining…
Featuring a 3.4-inch 720 X 480 display & no sticks. Anbernic has revealed the next in its line of GBA SP-inspired emulation handhelds.

You’ll need to use a nightly version of MesenCE, though. Following yesterday’s news that the original 1993 Star Fox has been updated to make use of the new Super FX 3 chip – created by Randy Linden for Limited Run’s 2026 update of DOOM on the SNES – we’re now hearing that the game’s 16-bit…

“Knowledge of the previous games is wholly unnecessary to enjoy the story”.
