The alien game that has a robot with a laser whip was my favorite.
vectorman would have been better if it had a better soundtrack.

I have been playing lots of Contra lately.. and I did not play it back in the day.

That's exactly what I'm saying. Your friends' narrow graphics-are-everything tastes do not invalidate the higher quality of these games.
Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

This is the greatest retro collection ever to be released on one disc.
Only Sega and Nintendo are capable of putting such collections together.
Its a shame Sega didn't include Revenge of shinobi and Outrun though.
Sorry to hear that you don't like too many of the games, but the same could be said if you were playing some of the snes's games for the first time ever.
I still love my Shinobi's, Sonics and Streets of rage's as much as i did all those years ago when i first played them.
Simply put some games age better than others.

I figured I'd get some old school gaming goodness at a reasonable price by picking up Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection. There are a few games that are relatively fun. I've actually played the old Sonic games before (who hasn't?) and those are still kinda fun. However, most of the games on this collection just aren't doing it for me at all. I'm not judging them by today's standards. I can't imagine a lot of them being any good even 15-20 yrs. ago. On the other hand, I can still pick up and play countless SNES games and have a blast. Sorry all you Genesis fans. I'm just not feeling it. Give me the Ultimate Saturn Collection, the Ultimate Dreamcast Collection or an Ultimate AM2 Collection full of Arcade titles. Anybody else around here just playing a lot of these for the first time? |
similar thoughts as you on this matter. never owned the system...only played a couple sonic games...thought it was nice that i had owned a snes instead. lots of junk in the collection.

I was in my 20s back then. Not sure what you are talking about. There are a bunch of titles that didn't age well, but other had. I would, for example, be interested in seeing someone the arcade emulated Shinobi sucks today. Go ahead and explain why. It has aged as well as Rolling Thunder has.

Yes, and those of us in our late teens and early 20s were clearly just drinking the Sega Does what Nintendon't Kool-Aid--don't be an idiot.
I think there are those who appreciate these sorts of games and those who don't. I personally can pick up an Atari VCS or NES or Genesis game I've never played before and feel it's an awesome game. Some people apparently can't. Some people feel that even games they liked before are not good now, but most games I liked when I was younger are still good if I replay them. Sure, there are some games that haven't aged well IMO (StarFox, Altered Beast, Final Fantasy), but if you ask me those games really weren't that great in the first place, we were just wowed by graphics or story.
The truly great games you can go back and play and feel are still awesome. Contra, as mentioned by a wise person in this thread, is an excellent example, as are many of the games in the Genesis collection (although it is crazy they didn't include Revenge of Shinobi, one of the best Genesis games). Any SRPG fan who hasn't played Shining Force should get this collection pronto.

How far have you played through it?
I had it on the genesis and it was one hell of a game, kept surprising you with new play styles. The last couple of levels were just plain crazy.
