Is the future of gaming present in the hobby's past? James and Dan lament the state of modern gaming, and discuss whether it's the currently thriving retro scene where the true excitement lies.
The SEGAGuys have been making podcasts for over 5 years now! To celebrate, Dan and James revisit their original discussion, and decide once and for all whether the Saturn or the Dreamcast presented Sega's creative peak.
With Shenmue recently withing a BAFTA award for the most influential videogame of all time, Sega Lord X joins The Mega Driver and The SEGAHolic to discuss what other games influenced the industry and came from Sega.
Since its unveiling, the Dreamcast was a machine many percieved as one of great promise and potential, but it's short lifespan meant we never got to see what it was capable of. Now, thanks to some impossible ports, are homebrew developers revealing the true power of Sega's final console?
In this podcast, The Mega Driver and The SEGAholic discuss Sega's output on PlayStation 2, how it fared against the PS2's competitors, the exclusive Japanese titles and their meories with one of gaming's most iconic and greatest selling systems.
Ταξιδεύουμε πίσω στο 1995 και ξαναζούμε τις απαρχές της κόντρας PS1-SEGA SATURN, τσεκάρουμε τα καλύτερα παιχνίδια της χρονιάς σε όλες τις πλατφόρμες, τα βασικότερα γεγονότα στο gaming και στροφή στην pop κουλτούρα με τις καλύτερες ταινίες της χρονιάς, μουσική και γεγονότα που συμμάδεψαν την ιστορική αυτή χρονιά.
The Astro City Mini launched in late 2020 as part of Sega's 60th Anniversary celebrations. The last truly "new" mini Sega released, it played host to a number of titles that never came home, and a supposedly perfect conversion of Virtua Fighter. Did it deliver, four years on, when the SEGAGuys got their units?
"Xbox is the new Sega" is what many are saying as Microsoft turns their attentions to third party publishing. But how true is that statement? Dan and James discuss the parallels between the green brand and the legendary Sega Enterprises.
Der RTX-50-Clusterfuck geht weiter!Die Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti wurde getestet und wie bisher: Eher enttäuschend, Preis wäre so halbwegs ok, wenn es sie denn überhaupt zur UVP gäbe. Es sieht inzwischen sehr danach aus, als wäre die UVP bei dieser Generation einfach eine Vorspiegelung falscher Tatsachen, um die Grafikkarten besser aussehen zu lassen. Langsam stellt sich die Frage, ob überhaupt jemand eine 5070 Ti zur UVP von 879 Euro bestellen konnte und die dann auch bekommen hat. Es mehren sich Berichte zu nachträglichen Stornierungen durch Shops. Und dann waren die Grafikkarten erneut zu höheren Preisen wieder eingestellt. Seltsam. "Glückliche" Besitzer von einer RTX 50 sollten nachsehen, ob sie alles bekommen haben, wofür sie teuer gezahlt haben. Bei vereinzelten Exemplaren von RTX 5090, 5070 Ti und inzwischen wohl auch 5080 sind nicht alle ROPs (Render Output Processors) aktiv, die aktiv sein sollten. Es fehlen dann acht Stück. Betroffen seien laut Nvidia zwar weniger als 0,5 Prozent der bisherigen Produktion. So etwas darf jedoch nicht sein. Und weiter gehts: Nvidia hat mit dieser Generation die Unterstützung von 32bit-PhysX eingestellt. Somit ist die Generation RTX 40 die letzte, mit der man Spiele wie Mirror's Edge, Borderlands 2 oder die Arkham Batman in ihrer ganzen GPU-beschleunigten Physikpracht genießen kann ohne massiven Performance-Verlust. Apple hat ein Budget-iPhone vorgestellt: Das iPhone 16e hat das Design des iPhone 14, den SoC des iPhone 16, mit dem C1 ein eigenes Apple-Modem ohne UWB und WiFi 7, nur eine Kamera und beginnt bei 699 Euro. Viel Spaß mit Folge 245!

With all the discussion around Sega Rally lately, its long overdue for the SegaGuys to discuss the greatest arcade racer ever made...
When the Dreamcast was first revealed, it was done so alongside the NAOMI Board. Built on the same specification as the Dreamcast, this would prove not only to be the most powerful arcade board in existence on release, but it would outlive it's console counterpart and be home to classic titles from both Sega and third parties. James the Segaholic and Dan the Mega Driver discuss this legendary arcade system.
