Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection [PS3/360]

[JP]

I've been really please with this.

I think what ever they'd done with it, they could have always done it better and with more and I think that would pretty much always be the case whatever they'd done with it but in terms of value & enjoyment this has been spot on for me and I hope that other companies realise that there is a market for this stuff if they price it fairly.

It's not prefect but it's certainly better than the PS2 Sega collections that I have.

Can you have save states for the games?

[JamesS]

Yes. Multiple saves per game, I think.

I refuse to do the MBM achievement on principal.

Just out of idle curiosity, what principle?

[prinnysquad]

lol the principle that it's too tough?!

I had alot of fun getting all the achievements on this, most of them are quite easy, the only ones which gave me some problems were Fatal Labrynth as the first map didnt seem to have any stairs, maybe it was a bug.

Fatal Labyrinth apparently has hidden areas, revealed by pressing X against walls. Maybe the route to the stairs was on the end of a hidden corridor? Gash, I know...

I keep hearing bad things about Fatal Labyrinth, I seem to remember playing it briefly in a mates house years ago and if it's the one I'm thinking about then I don't want to lay it again.

I'm sure I'll force myself to play it if I've got all the other trophies and want to complete them before going back to the fun games again.

It's woeful, I quit out then restarted after one stressfully, failed attempt; it seems to randomly generate dungeons, so I took my chances. Luckily, the steps were right next to me on about 3 of the 5 levels.

Fatal Labyrinth is awesome mate. It's a Rogue game, hence why the dungeons keep generating. Stick with it, it's really underated.

Yeah it's really handy being able to save whenever you want, particularly on the RPGs...

[BaronSqwelch]

got the 1000g on this after a good afternoons gaming.

the Mean Bean Machine one was ok, i had REAL trouble with the Comix Zone one tho. That game is insanely hard!!

very enjoyable days gaming.

Enjoyed it slightly more the second time, it has to be said. I would love it, if not for the combat. Just seemed really rotten. I normally like random-generated games, and explore-me-dos.

All I can say about this is:

GAIN GROUND!

ON A 360!!!

BEST... COMPILATION... EVAR!!!

Picked up this pack on Friday with SFIV liked what I've played so far. Not going to moan about the price as ?25 is great value.

Hell I spent ?100 alone on getting my MD's copies of Shining Force 1, 2 Darkness and SOR3.

I?m a bit disappointed most of the game were on the PS2 MD Collection but the shining games make up for that. Also the interviews and background information have been ripped straight from the PS2 pack as well.

I will agree Space Harrier is bad and the sound on all the MD games sounds a little bit off/distance. The games don't have that RGB sharpness look either when you turn off the HD filter instead you get a blurry look to them.

But I expected this type of stuff from Backbone and Digital Eclipse.

Still good fun to play the Columns and that achievement took me some time to beat ended up pausing and saving a lot.

What do the games run at on the PAL version, 50hz? Tempted to get this but might go with the US version if there not 60hz.

[Square]

Can someone tell me how this version of Arcade Shinobi plays and looks? It would be pretty much the only reason I would get it
