This is a collection of some of the most iconic and best games to ever be released on video games. With over fifty games included, it seems pointless to try and cover and list them all.

Titles like Sonic the Hedgehog, Virtua Fighter 2, Streets of Rage, Phantasy Star, Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle, Crack Down, and Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine are some of the amazing games you can find here.While not every single piece of defining content from the SEGA/Genesis era is present here, most of the iconic IPs are.

If you are a veteran gamer trying to revisit some of your favorite moments, someone trying to show young gamers where it all came from, or just a curious player that wants to know your origins better. Look no further than SEGA Mega Drive and Genesis Classics is your one-stop-shop.
Like most collections of games this one also has titles that aren’t must-play titles, or genre-defining ones. But the good outweighs the bad, and playing through these games is a blast. Guaranteed to scratch that nostalgia itch, and take you back into a time where games were simpler, and easier to just plug in and play. Developer DT3 Limited does a great job with this emulator improving the gameplay, and tweaking the title to enhance performance and adapt to current days.
Somethings Are Better Left Alone
For all the fun this collection promises there’s a huge setback in terms of performance. If on one side some much-needed improvements were made by DT3 Limited, the developer made mistakes in the enhancement process. The games which were once extremely light, and so easy to run some calculators were able to do it, became intensive games on most computers. Of course, this comes accompanied by other performance problems such as visual glitches, FPS drops, and bugs. This alone deters a bit from the immersion this games once provided.
Conclusion
