Pretty much everything you can already download of the Virtual Console, then, but for cheaper (I can’t imagine how many billions of pounds Nintendo would charge for this lot). Still can’t find anything regarding the arcade stuff, but it’ll have to be something special to make this package sound exciting now. I’m hoping this will be a £20 job.

I know it’s all first party stuff, but I’m still disappointed it doesn’t have ToeJam & Earl.

Flog a Dead Horse is not the title of a new SEGA game, however interesting (or not), that sounds.

Instead of a new game, SEGA are putting loads of old games onto a disc, and then selling said disc to us, for money. Recently they have been doing this without discs, you may recall.

SEGA Mega Drive Ultimate Collection is a set of 40 games, presumably from the Mega Drive, including:

Sonic the Hedgehog 1, 2 and 3, Columns, Alien Storm, Ecco the Dolphin, Space Harrier, and Streets of Rage 1, 2 and 3.

I think we can assume Ristar, Comix Zone, Golden Axe, Altered Beast, Shinobi and all those other ones that are already out as downloadable whatsits will be on there too.

Hopefully there will be other more obscure titles, but I dunno, we’ll see.

The game(s) are coming out for the 360 and PS3, which is pretty snazzy. I prefer it delivered this way than as downloadables, mostly because it’s cheaper, and may possibly contain extras, like that Mega Drive Collection that was on the PS2/PSP. Still, there’s only so many times I can buy Sonic 1 and still be happy about it. I’m nearing my limit.

I hope after this SEGA get the MD out of their system for a bit, it would be great if they’d bring out a SEGA Arcade Classics* pack or Saturn Collection or something like that.

Then again, you could forget all this Mega Drive Collection shit and just emulate the lot for free, especially if you already have the frigging cartridges in your wardrobe - It’s not even illegal then (as far as I know).

But SEGA do need all the money they can get, and I’d rather give them money for good old games than shit new ones.

It’s out early 2009, and will be in 720p and all that bollocks.

*UPDATE: I just re-read the press release, and apparently the disc will contain Master System and 80s arcade games too. I hope they stray into the arcade 90s and do Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder!
