While I spent countless summer days playing Super Mario and Donkey Kong Country on my Super Nintendo, some of my contemporaries were entranced by the Genesis. You may wonder why I didn’t have a Genesis, despite the awesomeness of Sonic—well, it wasn’t just because I never got one for Christmas. No, actually it was because even as a child I had incredible foresight, and I predicted that Sega would one day curse the earth with some vile robotic thing. My efforts were those of preemptive boycott fueled by a Nostradamus-like vision of a future overrun by robots. That future has arrived, and I can finally say to all my friends of yore “What’d I tellya?”.
The destroyer takes a most counterintuitive form—that of a cute little puppy. But this is no living, breathing puppy, but rather a mechanical, feelingless beast. Sega calls it “Lucky” and although it looks far less sinister than Sony’s AIBO, it is equally evil. Lucky’s not yet available in the US.
Lucky can bark and do tricks like handstands….::sigh:: I guess he does look kinda harmless. Aw Lucky, I love you!
Woof Woof Woof GRRRR

Chomp Chomp Hooowwwl
