The game claims to be classics and yet I see no love for a certain Rocket wearing possum The game includes Alex Kidd In The Enchanted Castle Alien Storm Altered Beast Beyond Oasis Bonanza Bros. Columns Comix Zone Decap Attack starring Chuck D. Head Dr. Robotnik's MBM Dynamite Headdy Ecco The Dolphin Ecco II: The Tides Of Time E-Swat Fatal Labyrinth Flicky Gain Ground Golden Axe I Golden Axe II Golden Axe III Kid Chameleon Phantasy Star II Phantasy Star III: Generations Of Doom Phantasy Star IV: The End Of The Millennium Ristar Shining In The Darkness Shining Force Shining Force 2 Shinobi III: Return Of The Ninja Master Sonic 3D Blast Sonic And Knuckles Sonic Spinball Sonic The Hedgehog Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Sonic The Hedgehog 3 Streets Of Rage Streets Of Rage 2 Streets Of Rage 3 Super Thunder Blade Vectorman Vectorman 2 This is all well and good but what about other amazing Mega Drive games like Rocket Knight Adventures? Chuck Rock Cool Spot Earthworm Jim Fantastic Dizzy James Pond 2 and 3 Mr Nutz Quackshot Talespin Toejam and Earl 1 and 2 Zool Now if those and some others had been added then yes Classics would be right. well rant over if anyone wants to what Games would you of added or even removed coz in all fairness I probably would of removed all the Sonic Games as there have been too many ports of them as is

To be fair, of the excluded games you mentioned, most of them weren't produced by Sega, so they'd probably have had to pay Konami, Virgin, etc. for rights to re-release them.

This is thisIt's a good collection, anyway. A few duffers (Gain Ground? Alien Storm? Really?) but considering you can easily pick it up for £10-£20 these days there's a heck of a lot of gameplay per pound.

But it's poop To be fair, I loaded it up once, played for about five minutes and went "lol no". So I may give it another go. At some point in the future. When I've finished all the good games on the disc.

Gain Ground is sweet if you actually work out how to play it. :x Sure it's not the prettiest thing in the world, and it's hard as nails, but it was made in 1988. What do you expect?

Super Saiyan 4 Goku: Ehh... not so big on picking up a controller for just one game. Still, if I get around to picking up more Live Arcade games, I'll keep that in mind. Cheers. john: Yeah, but I said I'd have got it if I owned a PS3, ergo, I don't own a PS3.

I got it pretty much just for SFIV originally, but since then I've used it for all the fighting games I've owned this generation (which is a surprising amount, actually), all the retro games I've owned on XBLA and, since it can be used on the PC too, it's also the perfect pad for those less than legal game downloads too. :x If you play any old games at all, on the Xbox or PC, it's a must.

Hmm...once you add in the unlockables on Ultimate Collection, you get 48/49 games (depending on whether you count the MD/arcade versions of Altered Beast as two separate games or not). Taking an average price of £17.99 (which is about typical of what you can get it for these days), that works out at....something...per game. Considerably less than £1.99 a game, even disregarding any titles you don't care about.
Oh, and you get a bunch of video interviews with some of the games' developers, too.

I think there was a recent Steam sale for like 40 MD games for £5.99. Ludicrous. I have Sonic 3/Knuckles and it's a perfect port.

Oh, this game. Yeah, it's a darn good collection of titles but I hardly ever give it a go anymore. Gain Ground is among my favourites, though.
