SEGA Mega Drive Ultimate Collection

Finally a compilation of Mega Drive games you actually want to play!

The Mega Drive was one of the greatest gaming consoles ever and had wicked selection of great games (and some truly terrible ones as well)

Would have loved to seen sonic CD on there (what I think is the best sonic game) but over all its good to see these classic games still getting released!

This collection of mega drive games is great!
I have been able to relive my childhood by playing alex the kidd and all the sonic games, good times!

The only difference is that you can save your progress and not have to play the whole game through from start to finish to be able to clock it like in the old days :)

This product is everything it claims to be and the implementation is very good.

Anyone that has been playing games since the 90's will likely remember the Mega Drive. Back then game consoles did not have a lot of power and the games were not as graphically intense as you see now.

But the games were good! Back in those days games were forced to rely on good gameplay to appeal to users and not amazing graphics. Every single game from this collection was one the games that managed to shine on the merits of gameplay, though some have amazing graphics for the era.

You get about forty games here, plus some more you can unlock if you complete objectives within other games. You also get to unlock interviews with some of the games creators, some of which are mildly interesting.

But it is the games that shine. You get a huge variety of games, from the old Sonic platformers, to beat'em ups like Streets of Rage, and some classic overlooked RPGs such as Shining Force and Phantasy Star games.

Any serious gamer would be hard pressed to find something that they do not like here. Anyone that wants to play some of their favorite games from the old days, or wants to try some of the games that set the bar for their genre should buy this.

Great fun, for awesome value for money, I would give this a solid 8.5 out of ten. My only objections are that there are many good games it skips such as Toejam and Earl and the old Street Fighter games. But still, the game selection is mostly very excellent.
