2 great Sega games

I love Golden Axe and Sonic Spinball, but Ecco is what drops my review down to 4 stars. I don't even understand the game. I really hope they make a sequel to this, maybe one that has Altered Beat, Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, Ristar, and Flicky.

even if it only had golden axe it would be a must buy

At the arcade in Tahoe I stand at the Golden Axe game for hours and shovel in quarters to keep playing. The levels are very cool, with excellent graphics and stunnig gameplay. In each progressing level the baddies develop and are stronger. Even the creatures that many of them ride on get stronger. Evolving from a lizard that wips it's tail to a dragon that breaths fire to a different dragon that shoots fireballs out of its mouth and so on. If you hit the baddie mounted on one of these and they fall of, you can get up on the creature and use it against the baddies. The game is even more fun when you play in 2 player mode. Its so much fun watching your partners back and comunnicating plans to your partner. There are bosses after every level who get harder and harder as the game progresses, but they are not to hard to overcome, expecially if you have a fireball spitting dragon on your side. There are 3 characters to choose from, and all of them have there own fighting style and magical weapons. The magical weapons can be used once per player a level and basical kill all of the opponents in the screen; in the super powerful bosses case, the magical weapon only damages them. All of the baddies have different weapons and fighting strategies, and as the game progresses they require more and more hits to kill them. The game has great graphics and I cannot wait to see them on the Gameboy Advance. You will find that you will do better with one of the characters, everybody is different, based on they're strategy. Most people, I find, select the beautiful woman, because of her tremendous looks to go with her quickness. She makes the game just that more exciting and fun to play over and over again. After all wouldn't you rather select a babe in a bikini over a fat viking? And don't worry all you ladies out there. There is a tall man with no shirt to please you. Everybody who plays this game will be hooked at the start. I also find thatonce you overcome the first level, the game is about twice as fun, so don't get discouraged when you can't beat the first level when you first start playing. This is possibly the funnest game I have ever played, and hopefully they make a good 2 player gameplay mode. I cannot wait to be the first one to own this cartrige on my block and show it off to all my friends. You should do the same. Just go and rent it if you don't believe how fun this game is, you will learn.

Those were the days...

If you're like me and were around in the good old days of sega genesis, this is a game you'll be interested in. Sonic Spinball and Ecco are both classics and worth the buy. I'm not familiar with Golden Axe, however, so I can't tell you about it. Sonic Spinball is fun and like all the other Sonic games, worth it. Ecco is a bit challenging, so experienced gamers might prefer it. Overall, this will be worth your while.

Where's the sound...?

Overall, this is a nice collection of games, all of which i grew up with having owned a Sega Genesis. Graphically, each game resembles the originals but with less polish on the GBA. Golden Ax is a clean brawler in the likeness of TMNT with medieval-style characters and repetitive hack-n-slash gameplay, that for some reason never gets old. Sonic Spinball is the biggest disappointment in that all levels, boss included, have the same tune from the first stage. What's up with that!

If you are looking for classics with enjoyable gameplay and have a GBA, I would recommend this. Otherwise, if you have a Genesis get the original games.

I Love Saga!

this game would be worth buying even if it just had golden axe (one of the best action games ever), but when you throw in sonic and echo too, this game is a must-buy. the only downside i can think of is that there are only three games. i'm sure the good people at sega could have done better than that. oh well. all in all, this game has three classic sega games that any old-school gamer will love.

not the same as the sega classics

the sonic spinball is pretty much like the old sega one golden axe is almost as good as the sega one trying to kill bad guys and the deatha adder and you can even do a duel beetween your character and some monster but golen axe 2 for sega gennesis is da best ever.echo the dolphin is nothing the same as the old sega i cant even figure out how to play this one. but i still reccomend you to buy this no matter what the price is.

This game was totally awsome Sonic was the funnest and Golden Axe was cool to Ecco the dolphin was pretty cool. With Sonc and Golden Axe The game would be awsome anyway but they added on more thing to make it the best game Ecco the dolphin was added to make it cool. This game is a big must buy

3 Smashing Sega Classics

Sega Smash Pack from THQ is looking great on the Game Boy Advance. The three Sega Genesis classics that will be playable in this game are Ecco the Dolphin, Sonic Spinball, and Golden Axe. All of these games have been perfectly ported, they haven't been altered or cut short in any way what so ever.

In Ecco the Dolphin, there are many other dolphins trapped in paradise. Your main job is avoid all dangerous marine life while using Ecco's speed, sonar, and mammal-like instincts to rescue the fellow dolphins and save the marine world.

Golden Axe is a side scrolling action game with three different modes of play: Arcade, Easy, and Duel. The story is set in a fantasy world where you are on a journey to defeat the evil Death Adder and his minions. You can jump, slash, charge, roll, and cast magic spells to save your kingdom from evil.

In Sonic Spinball, you can play in 8 different levels to search for emeralds to stop the evil Dr. Robotnik. With fast, pinball action and lots of different power-ups and bonus games, it makes it even tougher to put this one down.

This game is a must for any big Sega fan. The three games are very different, which is good because you'll have more of a variety. I have owned this game for a week now and it's still a boat load of fun and I highly recommend it for gamers of all ages.

this game has all of my childhood in it. It has sega genesis games that I would always play.Me and my friends Joey and John would always play sega.I have a big selection of games to play but all of the sonic games are my favorite.I beat all of them but it took a long long time.Sonic and knuckles was the hardest of all the sonic games but the coolest.I don't have game cube or dreamcast so I can't play all the new sega games.So if you are like me and don't own a gamecube or dreamcast buy sega smash pack.
