Genesis Collection detailed
Last week, Sega announced that it was bringing a retro compilation of
Genesis games to the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable later this
year. The publisher confirmed that Golden Axe, Sonic the Hedgehog,
Shinobi III, Altered Beast, and a Phantasy Star game would be among the
included titles.
After a week of speculation, Sega has provided gamers with a full list
of 28 Genesis titles that will be included in the collection. The rest
of the originally promised "more than 30" games should be accounted for
by unlockable arcade games.
It turns out each of the previously confirmed franchises (except
Altered Beast) will be represented by multiple games, with Phantasy
Star and Golden Axe each seeing installments included in the
compilation. Joining that list of Sega luminaries will be a number of
lesser-known (but still fondly remembered) games like Alex Kidd in the
Enchanted Castle, Ecco the Dolphin, Kid Chamelon, and Vectorman.
