@matteusbeus the creator of the upcoming Crypt of Dracula is on the ball for the Sega Master System, as once again he has just tweeted us a rather special update that is sure to excite even the hardiest of Sega gamers.  Unlike the previous video we showed in relation to high fidelity audio, this one is downloadable as a patch that replaces the voice samples in Space Harrier with data taken from the original arcade game!

Gorgeous ZX Spectrum Art Work Recreated!

You may have already shared our Facebook post and our Tweet, but we thought we'd give a more detailed post to some of the most amazing recreated ZX Spectrum artwork you have possibly seen in some time. Many of these designs are either from original games given a touch up, or completely redesigned to look far more impressive and gorgeous to the eye. One such designer by the name of Oleg Origin blew us all away with his overhauled front end of Golden Axe II and Metal Man Remixed. But looking below, you can see there are other artists out there that really should be getting all of your attention!

Space Harrier - A retro look back of a SEGA classic

Welcome to the fantasy zone. Get Ready!

When I heard the first ever samples on my Atari ST my mate and I were in awe. Computers can now talk at you as the low quality distorted sounds came at us. Barely distinguishable but cool none the less. We knew what the computer was telling us. "Fun time" , yet another fantastic hit from Sega, Space Harrier came to the arcades back in 1985 along with Sega's other popular titles back then, Super Hang-on, Afterburner and Outrun. They really did revolutionise the design of games and used a technology known as "Super Scaler" to produce what was the forefront of 3D games.
