Hollywood Chicago writes: " For an entire generation of gamers, Sega's "Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection" is going to be insanely addictive flashback machine, a disc that opens a window to countless hours spent in front of games like "Sonic the Hedgehog," "Altered Beast," "Golden Axe," and "Phantasy Star" and brings them kicking and screaming to the world of HD and trophies on the PS3.
"Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection" includes an amazing 40 Sega Genesis titles and nine Sega Master System and arcade games on one disc at a purchase price just under $30. It's a title that hasn't garnered a lot of headlines and won't rock the gaming world like the upcoming "Killzone 2" and "Resident Evil 5" have the potential to do, but you won't find a much better value all year long."
Cover art for games that don't, but maybe should, exist.
ahhh man..poppin open one of these cases for the 1st time was always the best feeling.
The first console i ever bought with my own money.. I miss when console rivals had their own identity.. Sega felt, looked, and sounded very different from nintendo..
This week Fred, Jam, and Derrick from Dead Pixel Live are celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the Sega Genesis. The first heavy hitter of the 16-bit generation started as a console for sports games and high quality arcade ports and later became known as the console for edge and violence. GH101 covers the creation, launch, and span of a console that in six short years gave us a coveted library of memories
When it comes time to document the greatest games ever made, TGC explains why Sonic 3 should make the cut.
This game was brilliant. And not many people know that Michael Jackson was a composer for this game.
I always thought Sonic 3 had the worst soundtrack of Sonic's 16-bit games.
Well I thought it was among the best. But that also depends on which version you heard because some tracks changed depending on the version.
Definitely one of my all time favorites, especially Sonic 3 & Knuckles. I played Sonic 1 & 2 back on the Genesis but didn't get the chance to play 3 until years later when I got the Sonic collection on PC. And holy cheese, when I finally did play S3&K it blew my friggin' mind! :)
my best game of all time is SONIC 3 and KNUCKLES i cant even begin to explain the joy i had with this honestly i fell in love with it .
Those Sonic games really did feel like a roller coaster ride. Watching this video brought back the memories too. I used to be a huge Sonic fan even used to love the cartoon. To me Sonic 2 and 3 are if nothing else among the top greatest games of all time, and they never age. Even now if you never played them, I can almost guarantee you would immediately feel the magic on your 1st try.
