Empire

Rock n' Bolt
At the time of writing I've played roughly half of the SG-1000's library. It's not overly surprising why Sega's first console failed - 90% of its games library came from Sega themselves. Nobody supported this thing!
Even Rock n' Bolt here which started life of as one of Activision's creations was ported to the console by Sega. I looked at this one on SMS Power and instantly came to the conclusion that it was tat... before playing it and realising it isn't.

Orguss
You like the SG-1000 right? Come on, everyone likes the SG-1000. The SG-1000 is clearly the king of 1000-related SGs. Not convinced? Well observe this seemingly random SG-1000 game I've picked for you today.
Orguss. Based on an anime I have never watched (nor do I ever intend to watch for that matter). Except you wouldn't really know that unless you did your research, and for the benefit of this review and my anti-anime views, we'll assume that it's a standard space shooter with no ties to anything, like its spiritual sequel, TransBot.

Pacar
I've been doing some work on an incredibly ambitious secret project, and in my travels I've, yet again, found an amazingly weird underrated video game for a console nobody cares about. On the menu today is...
PACAR. It's one of Sega's old creations from 1983, and comes with a side order of fries or onion rings. It's an SG-1000 game that successfully fuses Rally X and Pac Man into something potentially better than both of them. The SG-1000 was Sega's first video game console, and one of Sega's first commercial failures, mostly because it was released on the same day as Nintendo's Famicom in Japan (though its computer equivalent, the SC-3000 did a bit better). The hardware behind it is similar to the first MSX computer (aka rubbish) and its games library was mostly made up of Sega arcade ports due to a lack of third party support. But you can't get Pacar on Nintendo.
