SEGA Genesis Classics - PlayStation 4

Outstanding collection but missing Madden titles. They started them on this console. Madden 94 was the first.

Old games as remembered

I bought this collection, because I was really in the mood to play some retro 2-player games with friends when they came over. If all that was offered was the ability to play a bunch of games, I would have been happy. What we get is is a trip down nostalgiaville. The menu is the first cool thing to see: a 90's kids bedroom, where you can look at the Genesis 50 game collection, TV settings, Genesis settings, audio settings, network gameplay, leaderboards, a realtime clock, and appropriate outdoor sound effects reflecting the time of day. The game collection is solid. And with 50 games there's a lot of fun to be had. They could have just presented the games in their original graphics, but, once again, they offered more than they had to! You can see it in its pure original form, add scan lines for nostalgia, add more pixels to enhance the graphics, yet keeping that pixelated look, smooth the pixels, smooth the pixels and clean up lines and edges (anti-aliasing), go from 4:3 to 16:9 (some of the image gets lost to make that conversion though), play the game in mirror mode from right to left. I spent way too much time playing with these settings, and for someone that grew up playing Genesis in their childhood, these settings bring a lot of replay value, and it's really neat to me to be able to see these games cleaned up. Oh! And there's more! There's a list of challenges, so if you want to do something quick and fun, and not play a whole game, you can do a challenge (like to try to beat a certain level in a certain time limit). You can save, so you don't have to beat the game in one sitting. And there's a cool rewind and fast forward mode, so if you do something you regret and don't want to start over, or reload, you can rewind right before things went wrong and try again. Excellent excellent excellent treatment of classic games. If you're into retro 16 bit games, or grew up playing Genesis games and would like to play them on your PS4, this comes highly recommended!

Me and my cousin both LOVE Sega Genesis games and this is perfect for what we like. I only wish it had sonic 3+sonic&knuckles

Neeeerrrdddds

One of, if not the best collection of games out there. So much value in this disc. Phantasy Stars, Shining Forces, Gunstar Heroes, Shinobis and more. The few games that are noticeable missing are Michael Jackson's Moonwalker, and the great Disney games but even so, this collection is a masterpiece.

good stuff

This is unfortunate. I just played the Sega Genesis Collection last night and there is definitely a great deal of input lag. This is most defitely due to the emulation code and not the HD display or controller itself. Some games seem worse than others (Sonic), though that could be due to the nature of the game. I had high hopes for this collection, seeing how Sega had recently been working with the best in the emulation-to-modern-console field, M2, but M2 this is NOT. :( I game on a PlayStation 24" 120Hz 3D Display, which has relatively low latency. I also have a PS3, Super Nt (FPGA based SNES), AVS (FPGA NES/FC), and a Model 1 Genesis system (via YPbPr cables). And those work great, even with Bluetooth wireless controllers on the NES/SNES. I also have quite a few other emulated games on the PS4, such as the Namco games, NAM-1975, Neo-Turf Masters, and many more, and they run great. On the other hand I bought the Metal Slug Anthology PS2 Classic on the PS4 and that has the same bad lag as the Genesis Collection. Though that's going through 2 layers of emulation (Neo•Geo to PS2, PS2 to PS4), so I suppose I expected it to not be perfect. Oh, and there are also other issues here. Occasionally the video will stutter, and there is quite a bit of sound emulation issues where you can hear audible pops and other noise artifacts going on. This is unacceptable for a 30 year old game console being emulated on a PlayStation 4! Sega had it perfected with their M2 developed emulation, why didn't they stick with that? So yes, this is extremely disappointing. I really hope Sega fixes these issues! If they can fix these serious game breaking issues with a patch I will be sure and update my review. Otherwise this is a 1 star game and I DO NOT recommend it at this time. Stick with last gen's Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection, or a real Genesis system.

Jogo excelente. Uma nostalgia sem igual.

ライトクルセイダーを遊びたく買いました。 日本版 PS4pro で動作、画質、音質全く問題無く遊べます。 メッセージが英語ですが、アクションゲームなら問題ありません。 画質設定でスキャンラインをONにすると、MDっぽくなり良い感じです。

Buen producto, cumple con lo que esperaba por todos los juegos que contiene

Classic game collection ! :)

São os clássicos do mega drive. Quem cresceu jogando esses títulos precisa ter esse para coleção pessoal. Recomendo.
