Segaiden #15: Zaxxon and Champion Pro Wrestling
Added 2021-08-25 13:00:00 +0000 UTCOK, hopefully the past three episodes have been enough to sate the demands of those who insist I stop exploring the history of things they don't care about (everything that's not NES Works 1988) and only talk about the things they do care about (NES Works 1988). I'll get back to the NES in due time—after all, I vowed that 2021 would be the year I covered two Golgo 13 games, and like Duke Togo, I never leave a contract unfulfilled. Even if it's just a social contract based on a casual joke tweet.
However, as much as I love talking about NES, I'm still eager to trace out the (pre)history of Sega consoles and ultimately bring my Sega video chronology current with NES Works. With the course I have mapped out, they should be lining up right at the end of 1988... just in time for Sega to wind down Master System and move along to Genesis. Ah well.
Anyway, this week's episode gives us a look at Zaxxon, which is very good, and Champion Pro Wrestling, which is... well, it's there.

Jeremy, I love your work both on here and Retronauts, but why did you have to include a little portion of “You’re the Inspiration” by Chicago? I don’t think any of us need to be reminded of that level from Elite Beat Agents (I assume you’ve played it and know about what I’m talking about).
