GameTap Adds Yuji Naka's First SG-1000 Game
We already reported on GameTap's newest updates, including a bunch of content for Sonic's 15th anniversary celebration, huzzah! But now they've put out a press release with more info, revealing, crazily enough, that they're debuting a bunch of games for the Sega SG-1000, the largely Japan-only cart system that debuted in 1983.
GameTap particularly references this because Sonic creator Yuji Naka's first game, Girl's Garden, is included as part of the first set of SG-1000 games, but here's the full list, taken from the overall GameTap game list, just for your edification: Borderline, Flipper, Girl's Garden, N-Sub, Pacar, Safari Hunting, Star Jacker.
The release also clarifies our previous confusion over Lock-On and Sonic 1, commenting: "Sonic’s birthday wouldn’t be complete without three new lock-on SEGA Genesis titles: “Sonic The Hedgehog and Knuckles,” “Knuckles the Echidna in Sonic the Hedgehog 2”, and “Sonic 3 - Sonic The Hedgehog & Knuckles."" [EDIT: We just checked, and there _is_ a Sonic 1 and Knuckles 'Blue Sphere' mini-game combination available on GameTap, sorry for previous confusion. Obviously, the other two combos just allow you to play Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 with Knuckles and the extra enhancements.]
Comments
Well, technically, they do have the "Blue Sphere" easter egg game you could play by locking on Sonic 1.

You're right, they do, oops! I was at work when I wrote that post and didn't have a chance to check GameTap itself. I amended the post, ta.
