 Sega Mega Drive Collection July 12, 2010
Luke Thrower
Cast your mind's back, the year is 1988 and you have just got your sweaty teenage hands on the latest and greatest console ever made, the wonderful 16bit Sega Megacrive, yes sir, you are now the coolest kid around with this bad boy. The NES , who want's that , Mario is just a fad and it'll never catch on, Sega is definatley the way forward.
Stepping back into the present day and unfortunatley that same thought is one which fell on the buyers of Beta max and mini disk players , remember those.
But now Sega want's to give it's fans a chance to redeem themselves after buying the spawn of satan that is the ps3, the Sega Megadrive collection has the greatest games ever to be released on the Megadrive on one disk and ready to be played in HD.
48 Megadrive games in total appear on the disc as well as a few unlockable extra's , and luckily I am not going to name and review all of them as this information is available on Wikipedia. What I will do is grab a cup of tea and play the Doctor who theme tune as I comment on some of the best of the best that the Megadrive collection has to offer, a top 10 of the top 48 shall we say.
Bear in mind these are based on my young childhood eyes and less my criticising usual self .
Well in at No.10 is Vectorman.
This was a run 'n gun platformer and looking back may have had some influence on the movie Wall.e.
The game is based in 2049 and see's orbots staying on Earth after Humans polluted and litterd the planets, and have since moved off to colonise further planets in space. You control Vectorman who is in charge of getting rid of the "Radioactive ooze", I have to admit I question his solution as what he does is pump it into the sun. As he returns to earth he finds it is in chaos and takes it upon himself to save everyone.
The game is clear and uses pre made 3D models, so it does look pretty retro by todays standard.
His main weapon of choice is a ball gun which resembles Samus in Metroid.
Overall the game has 16 levels and a few hours of fun, the sequel can also be found on the disc.
Moving on to No.9 ...... Phantasy star 2
This is a classic roleplaying game which see's you meander around the galaxy killing your enemies in dungeons and woodlands.
Using a turn based system the game resembles a crude Final fantasy with 4 character's being used at one time, capable of multiple skills and abilities.
The games range of characters, as well as it's pioneering in storytelling which is said to of influenced todays games, it earns a place in the top 10.
Sneaking in at No.8 is Bonanza Bros.
This is another 2D platforming game in which you sneak through a range of premises full of guards in order to steal a handful of objects, before making it to the roof and escaping on a rather flamboyant spaceship.
I'll admit now this game was pretty bad, but it's the total steal of Super Mario gone bad that I love. 2 brothers , one red and one green run around the level shooting and sneaking to steal whatever they can. These include banks, mansions and an art gallery, but here is a tid-bit of wonderful gaming trivia. In the origional Japanese version the two brothers are theives , wereas in the American version they are testing the places security system, this just goes to show that even a good 20 years ago they were worried about the impact of games.
This game was so bad it was great and gave some good CO-OP laughs as well.
Swimming in at No.7 was my sisters favorite game on the Megadrive, Ecco the dolphin and so probably deserves a place in the top 10 for that.
I'll be honest I dont remember much of this game as it didn't have guns or shiny things, what I do recall is that you swam around a big 2D sea happily singing, swimming and ramming into enemies at high speed.
Apparently it sold more than sonic the hedghog which is a complete mystery, evidently if the game was to be re-released I put forward 2 level ideas , one set in the gulf of mexico and the other set in the water of Japan.
Falling into place at No.6 is Dr. Robotnik's mean bean machine.
Again a wondeful rip-off game , this is essentially a game played by 2 people , playing tetris with jelly beans on 2 sides of the screen and the one with the highest score wins. As well as fighting a Sonic boss at the end of every level, I loved this as I could play it against my sis and it was more even ground between us.
Many good memories.
In to the dizzying heights of No.5 and Golden axe.
Im also getting to the point were I realise what rose tinted glasses I had of these games as a childhood, this game is Conan with a new name. A heart hack 'n slash adventure which see's you charging through levels taking down everyone in your path to reach a castle, where you will face the final boss.
This 2D scroller provided much fun and a decent enough story, you could play as a few characters but my favorite was the dwarf who had a great war axe.
Spinning in at No.4 is Sonic spinball.
What more could you want , I love a good bit of pinball and I love platforming games. Thankfully Sega chucked the two in a cement mixer and made a game in which the platform levels were essentially a big game of pinball with a Boss at the end.
This game was quirky to say the least and wasn't the first type of Sonic pinball , platformer. Evidently it was popular enough to release several pinball style games, strange indeed but lovely for the attempt at innovation.
Flying in at No.3 is the coolest sounding title on the Megadrive, Super Thunder Blade.
This was a shooting game in which you controlled a Helicopter , shooting town at rebels with machine guns and missiles galore, this rates so highly because it was actually a release title and so set the standard both in fun and visuals.
Unfortunatley the game only had 4 stages , although they were immensley difficult.
So ...... the top 2 and just missing out on first place is Streets of Rage.
This is yet another 2D side scroller, but their are no weapons and their are no platforms, this game went with all out karate combat and what is cooler to young boy than backflips and violence.
The game had 6 rounds in which you must defeat all your enemies to reach the final round 7, and face off against the big boss.
You could also use power-ups in the shape of police cars, these would speed to your aid and fire missiles at the enemies and let you put your feet up for a bit.
3 playable characters in all , a boxer, martial artist and judo. I generally went with Judo as my Dad was almost an olympic Judo fighter (as he has continually told me and all who visit through the years , bless him) and because it was the most exciting combat system.
So onto the big Final'e and I wonder wether you guessed, It has to be by default the biggest title the Megadrive had ............ Its Sonic the Hedghog.
The game was a side scroller which packed in a crazy amount of speed which would send your eyes into a frenzy trying to keep up.
The object of the game was to stop DR. Robotnik from getting the chaos emeralds and then doing whatever it is bad guys do. ( I often think bad guys are like dogs chasing cars, if they ever did manage to take over the world or kill bond , they wouldn't know what to do with themselves after).
7 zones in total and I dont think I paid attention to the story once, It was the colours, the speed and the excitement which drew me in and up until a few years ago Sonic remained one of my favorite franchises.
I realise this review was a little long , so thanks so much to those who read it and hope I have bought back some memories of your own or new ones to be had.
Overall this is one of my favorite games to pick up and play, with the addition of Trophies to be had and some intresting interviews it's one to get.
 SEGA Mega Drive : Ultimate Collection (PS3 ) July 12, 2010

(Very good game, you be able to enjoy with games of the 90's)
Fantastic Retro Memories July 6, 2010
Mark Foy (Fife, Scotland)
Grew up in the 90s? Miss the old days where games weren't all about the 'super awesome' graphics and every character wearing outfits with tons of zippers, big spikey hair and emo pasts? This is the game for you.
This brings me back to my days as a kid playing the Mega Drive and just having fun with video games. You've got so many great titles here and so many to choose from its just a treat and at the price you're getting its a bargain especially considering what these games cost back in the day. You've also got some Sega Master System and Arcade titles in their as unlockables which just makes this a little gem.
Lots of titles to choose from including classics such as Golden Axe, Alex Kidd, the Sonic series, the Phantasy Star series and more. At last we have got the original 60hz version of Sonic the Hedgehog and not the 50hz PAL version with the slower speed and music. And about time, the Streets of Rage series has been included in a complitation outside of Japan, its nice to be able to not have to connect up the Mega Drive every time I want to kick some butt with Blaze and Axel. And finally, we have all FOUR PHANTASY STAR GAMES on one system! With the original Phantasy Star being an unlocked game you can play through all four games and meet the final conclusion at the end of the fourth. That sold it for me.
The only couple of flaws I can think of is that we don't get Sonic 3 & Knuckles, we get each game but not the lock on feature that was with the original so you can't play as Knuckles in Sonic 3 and can't play as Tails or Sonic and Tails in S&K. Also the game box states that the games are in HD when they really aren't, they are exactly the same as they were years ago along with the music which isn't anything wrong but its misleading.
Absolutely recommended to any gamer who wants to relive their childhood memories, most of these games are better than the ones being released today. The demand for retro games and gameplay is still in demand today, just look at how Sega is developing Sonic the Hedgehog 4.
Excellent Game July 5, 2010

It's good fun being able to play all the old Mega Drive games on the PS3. Obviously the graphics are not like the new games but it makes a nice change to go back to th old games once in a while.
