    Excellent compilation of SEGA classics. It's true that it has important absences, like Sonic 3, Soleil, or some iconic sports games like 'Super Monaco GP', 'Wimbledon Championship Tennis' or 'Ultimate Soccer'. However, it offers complete MegaDrive/Genesis sagas like Shinobi, Streets of Rage or Golden Axe and important classics of the RPG genre like the 'Phantasy Star' saga, 'Shining Force'Excellent compilation of SEGA classics.

If you were a fan of SEGA's black console, don't hesitate, you will enjoy this game a lot.… Expand

    I'm kinda cheating with this one. I have over 40 hours on the game, 37 hours of which are probably on Sonic 2, I'd estimate another 2 hours on Sonic 1, and then about on hour on everything else (much of which I haven't played). I'm a bit disappointed that the Nintendo Switch version of this collection doesn't include Ecco the Dolphin. But yeah, overall, I'm happy with it.

    With over 50 games on the roster Sega Mega Drive Classics has something for most retro fans. Granted most of the games have already been seen in older collections and the emulation is not always perfect, but the ability to quick save and especially rewind is a game changer. Even though some will call it cheating, the ability to undo mistakes makes the classic games much more accessible and enjoyable than ever before.

    A compilation does not need to do much to honour its legacy. It is expected that the games play exactly as they did when they released, at the very least. Having them play worse is unacceptable. The technical issues may not be as noticeable in some titles, but they utterly break the likes of Alien Soldier.

    With more than 50 games and a ton of options to customize your experience, SEGA Mega Drive Classics is just pure fun and nostalgia. Too bad some iconic games missed the cut.
