And if you’re a Golden Axe and/or Streets of Rage fan (two personal favorites), you’ve got the original game and two sequels of each franchise to while away the hours. For example, although Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles are missing from this collection, you still get just enough Sonic-oriented action to scratch that particular itch. Sega Genesis Classics features several iconic titles that made the console so appealing. And the icing on the cake: You can play these games in full-screen with a backdrop, stretched to fill the screen of modern televisions, or, my personal favorite, from the perspective of a kid sitting inches away from his TV. Okay, so maybe it’s not an exact recreation of a 90s kid’s bedroom, but it comes pretty close. And instead of selecting your games from a menu, you pull them off a shelf, where they reside in alphabetical order.

You can even change the time of day, altering the lighting in the entire room. The experience takes place inside a lovely recreation of a kid’s bedroom sometime during the 1990s, complete with an old-school television, a Sonic floor mat, and nifty retro Sega posters.

For this bundle, Sega has bumped up the presentation considerably. If you picked up the 2009 version of this collection ( Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection), then you’re pretty much getting the same thing in different, shinier packaging.
