All of the Sega Genesis collections show Sega isn’t ashamed to profit of their history. Sega isn’t afraid to license their history to third party companies like Blaze either. A Taiwanese bus company got in on the action and put Genesis ROMs like Sonic & Knuckles, Golden Axe 2, and Alien Storm in their on board entertainment console.
Why a bus? If you travel outside Taipei the trip can be hours long and handhelds just aren’t that popular over there. To alleviate boredom some buses have entertainment devices with movies. One company includes Sonic the Hedgehog as part of the package.
Here’s a list of games shown in the advert. Wish I rode the bus to see what other stuff Sega managed to sneak on the device.
Alien Storm
Sonic & Knuckles
Sonic Spinball
Ecco
Golden Axe 2
Alex Kidd and the Enchanted Castle
Gain Ground
Arrow Flash
Fatal Labyrinth
Golden Axe
