Golden Axe isn't a good translation. It isn't even the Genesis version. I think it's one of the lesser remakes or the Master System version from an older Sega collection from PS2.

The arcade Altered Beast is good fun and I had good memories beating that again. It's way better than the Genesis version that is included. Why they include both, idk?

Arcade Shinobi is still fun and a perfect arcade translation. Plays exactly as I remember and better than the console versions of the time. Space Harrier is way better than either console iteration, and an arcade translation.

Waiting for my gf to help me unlock the original Phantasy Star.

Streets of Rage is still fun, but again proves to be the best Final Fight ripoff.

Why they didn't include Thunderforce 2, Afterburner, Wonderboy 2 or 3, Outrun, Herzog Zwei or Sword of Vermillion idk.

Memories are often better than the actual product. I think thats why many were upset with the new Star Wars movies! (I loved them all myself)

Anyway, I fired up my old NES emulator on my laptop today and played Punch Out for about 2 hours. Its amazing how the old simple games still hold up today. I trade in xbox 360 games like crazy, but I go back once a year to play Zelda, Mario, and Sonic all the time. Hopefully Street Fighter IV, which I'm getting today, will have that kind of staying power. I still play SFII on XBLA all the time. I actually think I spend more time on Live Arcade with PacMan, Galaga, and Street Fighter II HD Remix than I did on Halo or COD4!

I love me some new games, don't get me wrong, but sometimes it feels like watching a movie with a few button inputs here and there.

Must own genesis collection......

Anybody remember Splatterhouse? I can't remember which platform it was on but I lost a lot of hours sleep with it....

Yup. Sega had three sequels. Remake coming soon from what I read in GameInformer.

Beyond Sonic and I think Lion King there's only one game I can really remember and I think it was "General Chaos" or something similar. If you hooked in an app you could get up to four people playing and you basically all had a squad and would try to wipe out the other guys. It was really cartoony and omg hilarious when everyone was playing.

The original Splatterhouse for the Turbografx16 was one of the first games I remember that had a warning label on it for parents. The game was great fun.

Genesis had a lot of great games. Some are not on the disc which I do not exactly understand why, including soem Master System games.
