 Retro Sega Genesis games November 14, 2006
40 out of 50 found this review helpful
This is a collection of Sega Genesis 16-bit console games. Sega Genesis made its debut in 1989 and the console came with the game Altered Beast. Some games still look pretty decent today with sharp and colorful graphics. There are 28 genesis games in this collection with 5 more unlockable. It baffles me that Sega don't make a true arcade collection.... or mix more arcade games in this collection and name it Sega Hits or whatever. This Genesis collection is much better than the horrendous Sega Classics Collection from last year.
There are too many action platform games in this collection therefore most games have similar gameplay. Its sad that Streets of Rage, Space Harrier, Outrun and Revenge of Shinobi are not in this collection.
Here are the games:
Alex Kidd in The Enchanted Castle, 1989: A zany action/platformer, nice graphics. Good game.
Altered Beast, 1989: The game that came with the original system, a mythological brawler. Great game.
Bonanza Bros., 1991: Action/platformer, horrible game.
Columns, 1990: A puzzle game similar to Tetris, horrible game.
Comix Zone, 1995: A brawler/platform game, you go from 'box' to 'box' like reading a comic and beat up few enemies. Decent game.
Decap Attack starring Chuck D. Head, 1991: A funny action/platformer starring a mummy. Decent game.
Ecco the Dolphin, 1993: Action/adventure game. You are a swimming dolphin. Cool graphics. Decent game.
Ecco The Tides of Time, 1994: Sequel to the game above.
Ecco Jr, 1995: Sequel to above.
Flicky, 1991: Another action/platformer. Similar to Joust with cute cartoony style. So so game.
Gain Ground, 1991: A stupid action game. Horrible.
Golden Axe, 1989: Medieval brawler. A popular arcade game back in the days. Okay graphics, good game. A real arcade version should've been included!
Golden Axe II, 1991: Sequel to above.
Golden Axe III, 1992: Third and worst of the series. So so game.
Kid Chameleon, 1992: A fun action/platformer. You can transform into other forms like Altered Beast. Good game.
Phantasy Star II, 1989: A role-playing game. Good game.
Phantasy Star III, 1990: Sequel to above. Good Game.
Phantasy Star IV, 1994: Sequel to above. Great game.
Ristar, 1995: Another action/platformer. Good graphics, very colorful. Decent game.
Shadow Dancer the secret of Shinobi, 1990: A ninja action/platformer. So so game.
Shinobi III return of the ninja master, 1993: Much better than Shadow Dancer. Good game.
Sonic the Hedgehog, 1991: Adenture/platformer. A roller coaster Super Mario type game. Good graphics. Good game.
Soinc the Hedgehog 2, 1992: Sequel to above. Good game.
Super Thunder Blade, 1989: A into-the-screen shooter similar to Space Harrier, you fly a helicopter. Horrible graphics, choppy gameplay, Chop Lifter would've been better. Horrible game.
Sword of Vermilion, 1990: A role-playing game. No comment.
Vectorman, 1995: A cool action/platform/shooter. Good game.
Vectorman 2, 1996: Sequel to above. Good game.
Virtua Fighter 2, 1996: One on one fighting game similar to Street Fighter. Horrible game.
Bonus unlockable games: Altered Beast Arcade game.
Other unlockable games: Future Spy, Tac/Scan, Zaxxon, and Zektor.
Other bonus: Phantasy Star Universe and Virtua Fighter 5 trailers.
Overall a good game for Genesis and classic game fans. Definately not as good as Capcom Classics 1 and 2.
 Wonderful November 14, 2006

There's a steady list of classic compilation games coming out these days, and the Sega Genesis Collection brings nearly thirty classic Genesis games to the PS2, and they all look, sound, and play like their original, 16-bit counterparts. Many of the games here we haven't seen on previous Sega compilations, like Alex Kidd, Bonanza Bros., Shadow Dancer, Ristar, Decap Attack, Sword of Vermillion, Super Thunder Blade, and Shinobi 3 to go along with faves like Sonic 1 & 2, the Golden Axe trilogy, Comix Zone, Altered Beast, Flicky, the Ecco trilogy, and the Phantasy Star games, which thankfully includes the overlooked classic Phantasy Star IV, which along with II and III, is worth the price of admission alone. Vectorman 1 & 2 are here as well, and so is the Genesis version of Virtua Fighter 2, which is the only real weak spot of the compilation as it is just as muddy, slow, and buggy as it was when released on the Genesis years ago. There's a good amount of extras as well, including many interviews with developers, and unlockable games like the arcade version of Altered Beast and Zaxxon. Sadly though, some games which longtime fans may have wanted to see here, like the Streets of Rage trilogy, Revenge of Shinobi, Shining in the Darkness, Shining Force, Landstalker, and Eternal Champions would have been more than welcome, although many of them are available on previous compilations. All in all, the Sega Genesis Collection is a wonderful compilation of some of the best Genesis games ever, and for longtime fans of the classic console, this is a must have.
