Because history matters: Sega Genesis Collection vids

Here are two new videos for the reborn classic Sega Genesis Collection. The first one is for Golden Axe II. Now, for those of you young enough not to be able to remember anything about this game, GAII is actually a side-scrollin' beat'em up title that was released exclusively on the Mega Drive.

What? You weren't born yet when Mega Drive was still around? Blimey. Never mind. What's important is that you now have the chance to get acquainted with what the once-young-but-still-young-at-heart gamers were all going agog for that time (not too long ago, really).

The other vid is for the more familiar blue-blurred Sonic the Hedgehog. You have got to be kidding if you say you don't know who or what he is. But if that's the case, again, our remedy for that is for you to check the Collection out. But really, if you wanna call yourself a serious gamer, you better brush up on your history.

» Well you are a retard.

I was thinking the same but you simply have to play Golden axe,comix zone and the rest.Phantasy star is awesome is as good as FF but without all the FF metrosexual characters.

» Homebrew aint got nothing on it.

If you can live with the poor sound and bad framerates of homebrew, sure. If you want a perfect re-creation plus several arcade games and all the history for a great price, why wouldn't you go the *legal* route and do yourself a favor?



You'd be a tool not to go for authentic gameplay if you truly enjoy Genesis games.

Not so perfect. Sega uses also an emulator, which I believe is based on Kega. And it has a few glitches, eg. sounds inaccuracy.



BTW homebrew emulators for Genesis on PSP run just fine...

» Do you work for sega?

I love the company but if the emulators work, I own half games for genises and I own a nomad? Why would I pay twenty to thirty dollars for a official emulation. You probably used a emulator for eloader and xloader or @2.81 up but with full kernel access homebrew is a breeze.



Since I own about a hundred sega branded games over the years and system, I have no issue using them and wish they put something decent together in at least the last couple years.Most latest sonic games are a disapointment andthe last decent games where released about 2003 w\ the gunvalakrie,pan zer dragon, + shenmue ports for xbox that were abandon dreamcast titles atleast in the us

» What are you talking about?

They're still not done with this turd of a game? Genesis games run perfectly with DGEN 1.70, plus I can play all the games I want and I don't have to pay for them when I already bought many of them in the 90s.

» Yes old

They're porting it so people, Like me, can relive the old days. Hell, i'm 13 and even i played genesis while i was like, 3 years old.

Ah, but do they run perfectly at 222mhz? You know, so you get more than two hours of battery life? No? Too bad then.
