There have been many retro collections in the last few years, but none have come close to the Mega Drive Collection. OK, it's not going to be for everyone but then if you are reading this review you must have some interest, and even the smallest amount warrants a purchase. The midi soundtracks, the 2D visuals made of sprites and Parallax scrolling scenery will have many of you revisiting your childhood all over again. After all, as the old SEGA PR spin used to say…To be this good takes AGES, to be this good takes SEGA!
GamesAsylum: "Amongst various timeless Zelda and Mario titles, incredibly obscure PlayStation 2 and GameCube releases and some soon to be classic Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 games sits a few others on our bulging dusty shelves that we wouldn’t even dream of trading-in or putting on eBay.
As the name of this article has more than likely already given away, they’re retro collections. Regular readers will know that we’ve always had a soft spot for these, and so today we’re looking at eight of the best.
Inexpensive and often containing one or two games that would cost a small fortune if purchased for their original hardware, all of these offer decent value for money as well as serving as invaluable portals back to misspent youth"
Vince looks at entertainment segregation and assumptions about videogames and other media.
I love this article. I am one of the gamers who often take a break from the ps3 and 360 to play Genesis, snes, dreamcast, etc.
I have to say, YES. They are afraid of fun. All they want these days is Graphics. Its sad really, people that claim to be real gamers and yet they dont care about what makes a game a game: GAMEPLAY.
playing these type of games is great.. genesis, SNES ..if not gamecube & Wii I would still playing FPS'es and other boring things :) Nintendo knows how to entertain people.. :) ..and I don't give a s**t what people are thinking about games that I play.. Mario, Metroid, zelda, warioware, rhythm heaven, fatal frame FTW!!!
Its really unfortunate that they are so many closed minded people in the world. Good stuff!
Lazygamer breaks down their favourite retro games of all time.
Totally agree on Super Mario Bros 3. That game is one of the best games of all time. OF ALL TIME!
Crap, I saw that logo and thought it was something related to the next Retro Game Challange game. They really need to make/locallize another one.
Streets of Rage took me back to a simpler time :D These old games still have life in them.
