Customer Reviews

A Great Value Retro Collection,only with a few flaws..
If you ever owned a Megadrive,or are looking for a value packed collection of 16-bit classics (albeit Sega branded not Nintendo :P ) then look no further here .

*Some* of the finest SEGA franchises are represnted here,and pretty faithful emulations of the originals.Sonic the Hedgehog is finally playable at full 60 Hrz mode,after being reduced to the measly 50 Hrz on the 1st Sonic Mega Collection ,screen sizes can be adjusted,extra games can be unlocked and short but intresting interview segments of the original programmers/designers (bar Sonic creator Yuji Naka ).


However,perhaps due to licencing problems,some classics are not in this compilation-NO Streets of Rage 1-2-3,E-Swat,Allisa Dragoon,Mickey Mouse Castle of Illusion ,Super Hang On,Super Monaco GP,Shining Force etc.
A real shame,but maybe if there's a second compilation...

And why..OH GOD WHY!! Is Altered Beast here..?? Arggh!!!

What were they thinking.
I recently purchased this sega collection based on passed experiences from the late 80s which is when i got my first megadrive.
To say the games havent aged well is a understatement and can be expected with them being over 10 years old, but this collection is a big disappointment.
Just about every game is average or rubbish, the only exceptions being, sonic 1 & 2, shinobi 3 and ristar.
Sega have taken liberties and deliberately left out the obvious, streets of rage 1 + 2 + 3, sonic 3, sonic & knuckles, gunstar heroes, dynamite headie and many more.
Im more than knowledgable having played every system released and thousands of games this is only recommended if your desperate for 2 or 3 of the games.

Phantasy star worth the value of the game on its own.
Phantasy star was a great rpg especially number 4, I also enjoyed kid chameleon, sonic and can't wait to play and this will be an essential collection (especially due to the price of phantasy star 4 to buy now) the lack of streets of rage is a pain but that maybe due to the fact that streets of rage was released with sonic gems collection in the US (but was dropped in the uk due to the fact they would be including a violent game which sega considered would cost a lot of sales to kids)
