I just picked this up on PS2 after waiting for ages since Retro Gamer reviewed it in November but it's finally here!
From just the start up menu the nostaligia pains are felt. Everything's swathyed in a Sega blue with Sonic as the loading bar.
First things first, the games.
Alex Kidd In The Enchanted Castle
Altered Beast
Bonanza Bros.
Columns
Comix Zone
Decap Attach starring Chuck D. Head
Ecco the Dolphin
Ecco II: The Tides of Time
Ecco Jr.
Kid Chameleon
Flicky
Gain Ground
Golden Axe
Golden Axe II
Golden Axe III
Phantasy Star II
Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom
Phantasy Star IV: The End of the Millenium
Ristar
Shadow Dancer: The Secret of Shinobi
Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master
Sonic The Hedgehog
Sonic The Hedgehog 2
Super Thunder Blade
Sword of Vermilion
VectorMan
VectorMan 2
Virtua Fighter 2
There are more to unlock as well along with a few arcede games. Emulation is done to a tea with 60hz selectable along with Progressive Scan as well. Every game is able to be blown up full screen or can be personally changed to suite the game's original ratio.
I would like to say that the selection on offer is astounding and the extras are absloutly brillant as well with a selection of interviews being intresting to watch and not just Sega PR. The only negative points of the package are the exclusion of Streets of Rage and a few others but those minor points are simply outweighed by the choice of games on offer and the love that these titles have been put together with.
It's simply a brillant package of Sega nostalgia. Everyone, buy it!
