Last week, Sega announced that it was bringing a retro compilation of Genesis games to the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable later this year. The publisher confirmed that Golden Axe, Sonic the Hedgehog, Shinobi III, Altered Beast, and a Phantasy Star game would be among the included titles.

After a week of speculation, Sega has provided gamers with a full list of 28 Genesis titles that will be included in the collection. The rest of the originally promised "more than 30" games should be accounted for by unlockable arcade games.

It turns out each of the previously confirmed franchises (except Altered Beast) will be represented by multiple games, with Phantasy Star and Golden Axe each seeing installments included in the compilation. Joining that list of Sega luminaries will be a number of lesser-known (but still fondly remembered) games like Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle, Ecco the Dolphin, Kid Chamelon, and Vectorman.

The full list of Genesis titles included in the collection follows:

Whoa. Virtua Fighter 2 and Phantasy Start IV... I'm definitely buying this. Screw the emulators.

Just kidding, but I'm still buying it.

It's a damn good collection.. now if it only had Gunstar Heroes...

Comix Zone is a great game and it doesnt work well with any emu so it will be nice to have on the go on the psp

it will be with the same Genesis/Megadrive graphics or a little better?

**ape_gary** · August 18th, 2006, 15:21

Dang! Phantasystar II, III & IV. I might just buy this. Yah, it's too bad this doesn't include Gunstar Heros.

I really hope this game is hacked. We need a better Sega emulator, Dgen is a bit too glitchy and it's been a while since a new version..

I think DGen is awesome.
And this is a very nice collection, but I rather not pay for the games I already own anyways. And emulators run off your memory stick, consuming less battery.
