Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection

Anyone else got/getting this?
I managed to get a copy today after trading in CoD:WaW. Was rather surprised to see that my local Blockbuster had sold out as well as a few others locally, finally got a copy in the end though.

For £20, equating as 50p a game, it's well worth it so far

Sure some of the games are hideously dated, and a few are older than people I work with

But I like the memories that The Story of Thor, Sonic, Streets of Rage and Golden Axe bring. Also means I can finally play Shining Force, Golden Axe 3 and SoR3

Oh plus it seems very easy points if you're that way inclined.

I'd like to get it if I can. Have to see how the finances work out.

Davey_Pitch · 20-02-2009, 21:09

This is definitely on my wanted list, either as a rental or picking it up sometime in the future. Some of the games on there will bring back so many memories, and the fairly easy points will be a bonus as well

Picked it up today but not had a chance to play yet, looking forward to playing Phantasy Star IV again, and trying the first 3.

I love walks down memory lane

Bit worried at how crap I am at some games though

I used to be amazing at The Story of Thor and a few others, and now I struggle

I grabbed it today while in town picking up new specs

Forgot how much I enjoyed Decap Attack

One of the few Megadrive games I actually finished! I can probably count them on one hand...

Edit: Just spotted it has Streets of Rage 3 on it too. Original copies often go for £50+ on eBay!

How good is the upscaling on this? Part of me hopes they've done a proper job and remastered everything, the other part tells me to stop being so stupid.

I know

I've never played SoR3 before due to the prices so nice to finally play it

Not really noticed a huge difference. It has an option for turning smoothing on which does make things look smoother, but it's different rather than improved.
You can also set the screen to 4:3 or 16:9 and it does work quite well. I was expecting some games to look hideous once full screen and they don't look that bad

It's Nokkon on Psy's PC....

I can only echo Haly's words, it's superb to have to many titles and the video quality itself is pretty good, even when playing on a 24" monitor. You can add the filter and it doesn't look great on all games, but on something like Columns it's definitely an improvement. It's off by default.

Also, the range of achievements definitely adds something with some being a lot easier than others.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
