Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection

Recommended Posts

Who's enjoying this game? I never played many Genesis games when I was younger; really just the Sonic games and Mean Bean machine. I'm just discovering the wonders of Alex Kidd, for God's sake!

The Megadrive one?

 

Oh god.

 

I'll get the collection sometime soon, though.

I bought it for the achievements. On another note, I like Altered Beast, Shining Force, and a few other games on there. I would have like Sword of Vermilion on it but I think Sega did a good job on it. They should do a Sega CD, 32x, Saturn, or Dreamcast version.

Hell the Sega CD version wouldn't be that great either, unless they put out a collection of all the awful FMV games on the Sega CD. I'd pay for that.

I'm having trouble thinking of even 10 quality, 1st party, non-licensed-property titles that Sega could use for a Sega CD collection.

 

1. Sonic CD

2. Shining Force CD

3. Um... I'm out.

 

The Lunar games are Working Designs and were already remade on PS1 anyway. Snatcher is Konami of course. Etc, etc.

 

Plus Sega can't emulate the games anyway (any of the emulated Sega CD or Saturn games to show up later were reverse engineered PC ports, like Sonic CD on Gems Collection and Panzer Dragoon in Orta).

Was Sol Feace made by Sega?

Wolf Team, creators of Cobra Command, Final Zone, and the Earnest Evans series.

 

Although, the company staff and history is tied up with Telenet Japan (makes of the Valis series) and Renovation.

 

In any case, no, they're 3rd party too.

Didn't Telenet license the Valis character out to a porn company a few years ago?

 

Yeah, Eants.

Valis X A hentai attempt to resurrect the series. There are five Valis X titles that retell the stories of the first four games containing copious amounts of lesbian acts and tentacle sex.

 

Reverse-Type-Mooned!

 

(Type-Moon made the hentai games Tsukihime and Fate/Stay Night, which became non-hentai mangas and animes, and became the basis for fighting games Melty Blood and Fate Unlimited Codes, respectively.)

The 32x version would be a blank disc.

32X had great ports of Space Harrier and After Burner. Of course, taking these games from the mid 80s and rereleasing them in the mid 90s for full price couldn't have made Sega look very good. But it was a bright spot in a dark cloud.

Alex Kidd in miracle world is probably the greatest game ever made (at least, to me.)

 

Not my favorite Master System game (Wonderboy in Monster Land), but Kidd in Miracle World is probably top 10 for me all time. Awesome game

Since you bring it up again YnA, did you ever manage to complete it while it was on the Master System? I never completed it until years later through the use of an emulator, I could simply never work out the last but after you need to work over certain purple question marks and avoid the ghosts. I actually needed a walkthrough.

Wasn't that a pretty mediocre RPG? I never played it, as I never had a Genesis back in the day.

 

Pretty good collection...the Shinobi game is pretty kick ass. Reminds me of "Symphony of the Night" on Playstation in some ways.

Nay. My systems are sitting in storage right now or I'd give it an honest effort

I don't have this but was playing Beyond Oasis on the genesis; good stuff.

 

I love how death screams for it are pulled out of SoR2. Also, Link could never dash flying kick a giant ogre.

I honestly never saw any game that said "Sonic Ultimate Genesis Collection". I've seen Sonic Mega Collection (and Plus) and Sonic Gems Collection. But, not the above stated. Can someone fill me in on this? I never even saw this game on the shelves.

I assumed the game they were talking about was actually this:

Basically, if your idea of "football" is played with round balls then you call it a Megadrive, but otherwise it's a collection of Sega Genesis games.
