The new old school Sega Genesis classic game console features 80 games! the info below is some of my own and some from the game critic site, the picture was pulled from the Walgreens online store.
The 80-game selection claimed by the box is somewhat deceptive. There
are actually 40 classic Genesis titles and 40 filler titles that
resemble free Flash games you'd play on your PC.
The good news is that the collection of Genesis games is impressive.
You get first-rate 16-bit titles like Comix Zone, Ecco the Dolphin,
Eternal Champions, Golden Axe, Shinobi III, Vectorman, Sonic the
Hedgehog, and all three Street of Rage games. There are several
hard-to-find titles including Ristar, Gain Ground, and Virtua Fighter 2.
I don't believe Jewel Master or Golden Axe 3 were even previously
released in America.
Here is the complete list of Genesis games: Alex Kidd, Alien Storm,
Altered Beast, Arrow Flash, Bonanza Brothers, Chakan, Columns, Columns
3, Comix Zone, Crack Down, Decap Attack, Ecco, Ecco 2, Ecco Jr., E-Swat,
Eternal Champions, Fatal Labyrinth, Flicky, Gain Ground, Golden Axe
(all three), Jewel Master, Kid Chameleon, Mean Bean Machine, Ristar,
Shadow Dancer, Shinobi III, Sonic 3D Blast, Sonic and Knuckles, Sonic
Spinball, Sonic the Hedgehog (1 & 2), Streets of Rage (all 3), The
Ooze, Vectorman (1 & 2), and Virtua Fighter 2.
That's a lot of 16-bit action for the money. The games play well, and
the composite output looks so sharp you'll think you're playing the
arcade versions. The original Genesis had a very "fuzzy" video quality,
so this is a major step up.Unfortunately since the games are emulated they do not play 100% like
the originals (this goes for using real cartridges as well). Sonic
never quite reaches the speeds he reached on the real Genesis - although
he does come close. Also, some of the music is a little off-key. You
can't have everything right? Those who still play Genesis games on a
regular basis will notice slight discrepancies here and there, but most
casual gamers will not. Overall Genesis Classic Game Console packs a substantial amount of
16-bit joy into one convenient package. Timeless games like Sonic the
Hedgehog and Streets of Rage will appeal to everybody, and the more
obscure titles will attract classic gaming enthusiasts. Thanks to the
nifty wireless controllers, it's easy to sink many hours wading through
these blasts from the past. And it is time well spent.
