Rating: - 33 Sega games in the palm of your hand!!!While video game technology continues to grow, it's important to remember our roots - and this collection of 4th generation Genesis games is a great way to relive that past glory. The following are included in this compilation: Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle - This is a cute game in a Mario-like setting. The gameplay has intermissions of Janken (Rock, Paper, Scissors). Altered Beast - In this side scroller fighting game, you take the role of a centurion brought back from the dead, with mystical powers at your disposal. Bonanza Bros.

I highly recommend this one. Rating: - Great collection of gamesI would say this is a must-have for PSP owners, especially those who like classic video games. This contains 28 games, including Sonic the Hedgehog 1 & 2, Columns, VectorMan 1 & 2, Virtua Fighter 2, and more. This collection also allows multi-player via the PSP's wireless networking option. The original (non-widescreen) video of the video games is kept, and there is an option to use the original video size, fit the video on the screen keeping the aspect ratio, or to stretch the video to fit the entire PSP screen (I think a widescreen version would have been nice for some games like Sonic the Hedgehog, but that's no big deal). Also, the menus are good. This game seems to sell for $19.99 in stores near me that carry it. When you get 28 great games for that price, this collection is an excellent value. Rating:  - A Trip into the PastThe SEGA Genesis was a hit cosole back in the 90's, and the releasing of this Genesis collection sheds some light on the past of SEGA's past gaming. For some, it is a trip down memory lane while for others, it is an exciting taste of gaming from the 90's. This collection was fun yet dissapointing. The including of several classic hits was the main enjoyment. The bad was the leaving out of several other classics. Streets of Rage, Toe Jam and Earl, Gunstar Heroes, etc. were all left out from what could've been a great compilation of SEGA Genesis games. Luckily, I got this game at K Mart for $15. Although this product may have dissapointed fans, it is forgiven for including SEGA's best. I still would recommend this game and enjoy playing the great games which repay for the absence of many other classic titles.
