Hey, now this is what I'm talking about!! The only reason I miss about my Genesis was Streets of Rage and Golden Axe, and now I can play it on my DC. The sound is a little messed up, like on Sonic, it sounds nothing like the original, but it still plays the same. I found some great games on there that I had never heard of but now love, like Shinning Force, that game is awesome, and Vurtual Cop 2. Get this if you miss your Genesis, or, if you never owned one, you might still want to look at this. By the way, to the guy commenting on Golden Axe sound, that sound is actually right from the Genesis game, it is one of the few games on the cd that they got the sound right on.

Old-School never looked so good.

Ever since my Genesis collection was stolen, I can't say how much I am thankful to Sega for releasing the Smash pack as a seperate title. To see Shinobi, Golden Axe, and Vectorman again brings back so many memories. Why would anyone say this collection stunk? It rules.

All the games in this collection were loved by everyone the day they came out. Although not all of them have withstood the test of time, this collection is still worth it especially when you consider the price. Shining Force is a classic and one of the predecessors to games like Final Fantasy Tactics. Phantasy Star II is a RPG classic that no enthusiast should be without. Streets of Rage 2 is a classic beat em up that can still be enjoyed on a slow day when you have nothing else to do. Sonic is of course Sonic but Sonic 2 would have definitely have been better. Revenge of Shinobi is fun but not as fun as it used to be. Vectorman was one of the games that proved that the Genesis still had some life when the Genesis was close to being retired. Golden Axe is fun but can get frustrating after a while. Altered Beast is fun only for nostaglic kicks since the gameplay is severely dated. Virtua Cop 2 is alright but would be better if you had a gun peripheral. Wrestle War is just boring after five minutes and it will wear your thumbs out. Sega Swirl and Columns are entertaining if you like puzzle games but in my view no one has been able to top tetris. So if you are a fan of "retro" games, this collection will definitely be worth the investment. You'll get hours of entertainments from the jewels hidden in this game. I'm still trying to beat Phantasy Star II.

SmashPack is reminiscent of byone Sega Genesis & Saturn days. If you ever had one of those, then you'll most likely recognize some of these in this 12 game compliation. Honestly, I don't play all 12 games. I bought this cd for 6 of them, but hey, you can't get 6 games for [price] either! There are some "newer versions" of the classics, such as VirtuaCop 2 which is a follow-up from Saturn's VirtuaCop, as well as Genesis' Streets of Rage 2. A newer game included that is fun is Sega Swirl. Probably one of the better known games is Sonic the Hedgehog...poster boy for Sega. Keep in mind, these are classic versions and will not illuminate your screen w/ awe-inspiring graphics like those of today. But, it is fun to be able to play these on my Dreamcast(which I love!) as I have missed Sonic, Columns and Streets of Rage from my old Genesis. I gave it 5 stars because it is a good compliation of games from "yesterday" and for the price, you can't find a better way to enjoy these classics. Also, makes you really appreciate the awesome graphics that we so commonly enjoy in gaming today. If you're looking for a great volume of classic games, this is it.

The only way to get Virtua Cop 2 in the US without importing

The title says it all. Even without all the emulated games (with the sucky sound), you still get sega swirl (which you may already have if you have a planetweb browser 2.0 or up) And, of course, the big benefit of getting this...: Virtua Cop 2! Like I said in the title, getting this disk is the only way you are going to get this game in the US without importing (unless you have the US Saturn version, which I would assume most people reading this don't). For that alone, get this game! You won't be disappointed (just make sure you have a light gun first as you can use it with this)!

I do not own Sega Smash Pack For Playstation But I own it for Dreamcast let me start off by sayin the genisis games are changed none whatsoever.I was a big fan of an Extremely rare game called Altered Beast when i saw it on the package i flipped.It is excatly like its Arcade counterpart.I also Love Sonic the Hedgehog wich is also on here.The Music everything is the same.Phantasy Star 2 Is a wonderfull game that many have not played.I hve a new appreciation for Genisis now.Revenge Of Shinobi Or Shining Force ring a bell? pick this one up.Not all the games are that great but there are many that are.

Great game, just turn down the volume

It's great being able to play all the great games on here, but what is with the sound??? Now I know the Genesis didn't have the best sound quality, but it least it was listenable, the sound on here on the Genesis games is absolutely terrible. Besides that gripe the games are great though, being able to play Phantasy Star 2, Shining Force, Revenge of Shinobi, and Streets of Rage 2 without having to hook up my old Genesis is great, plus the addition of Virtua Cop 2 and Sega Swirl adds a lot to this great package.

Classic!

The Sega SmashPack has all your classic favorites! I bought it for the dirt cheap price and it was one of the best Dreamcast Buys ever. If you like classic games, SmashPack is for you. I hadn't played Sonic the Hedgehog for years, and I had loads of fun playing it on the SmashPack. And how can we forget Altered Beast and Golden Axe! These games are perfectly remade, exactly like the originals. Vectorman, Revenge of Shinobi, and my personal favorite, Streets of Rage 2. Buy the Sega Dreamcast Smash Pack! It's well worth it!

Streets of Rage 2

Take it old school to your friends... Streets of Rage 2 is the highlight. You'll only use 8 of these games.
