The collection is alright - a lot of filler for being called a “classic” collection. But not necessarily bad. However, sound and emulation issues are abound, at least in my copy - lag is understandable if annoying in modern titles pushed to the limit on a console; but lag on games that originally ran on hardware that was discountined over 20 years ago? On a console in 2018? This smells of a lazy job with poor optimization.

The selection of games is solid overall for a casual Genesis fan or maybe someone new getting into retro games, but the spotty emulation (especially with sound), random glitches including glitched Achievements, laggy online play, lack of bonus unlockables, make it hard to recommend when the PS3/360 Ultimate Genesis Collection did this so much better. Nice to see the Treasure games (Alien Soldier, Gunstar Heroes, Light Crusader) so that alone may be enough to buy it for some. It's still solid if you only have an Xbox One or PS4, but can't help but feel a bit disappointed.

Some of the emulation on this collection missed the mark but it’s not enough to not buy this. Definitely worth the price. An excellent collection of Genesis games here. A must have.

So when we were early in dating, my girlfriend suggested forna date to just have pizza and play video games. Then she asked if I had a SEGA Genesis. As a kid, my sister and I did. As an adult... Erm... I'm guilty of repeat purchases of Sonic games. Enter this... A library guaranteed to savor appetites of old school games in various facets. The 4 stars is for the lack of certain titles from a certain main SEGA franchise (many to most gamers know which ones). The neat touches in the menu, emulation, video/audio, are up front really good. $30 is not a bad price at all, but I will not judge anyone for wanting this cheaper.

I have always loved Sega. I had both an SNES and Genesis growing up and there were a lot of games I loved on the Genesis over the SNES. This is a great collection of most of the classic games from the Genesis. It is worth picking up since it is priced well.
