    Ain't a real classics pack without Streets of Rage.
     
    Edit: Also, that's the wrong version of Shinobi for a classics pack.

    Well I look at the idea that these are former console games now on a PC platform, does that mean that steam could start offering other arcade games if licensing allows? 
    If so -- screw gameroom, steam is where it's at.

    @JJOR64: This, exactly. Or buy a used Megadrive off Ebay and buy the actual cartridges. That takes more effort, and might save you some money when you realise you don't want to pay money to play Altered Beast.

    Why is Sonic 3D Blast in a "Classics" pack?  Shouldn't it be Sonic 1 or 2?  3D Blast wasn't nearly as good.

    Or get Sonic Ultimate Genesis Collection on ps3 or 360. It has more games, and the best games aren't even available in the Steam pack.

    I always wanted to play altered beast, however I didn't have a genesis. I would go to department stores and play it for hours before instead. I don't know if it would work with my logitec cordless rumblepad 2, the button config is slightly different than the xbox350 gamepad.

    @Ben_H: I think Sega likes to use the word "classic" as a synonym for "old".

    OMG, it just occurred me an awesome Sega CD that could (and boy, I wish they would) release: Snatcher 
    Not a lot of people played it at the time and Hideo Kojima's name meant so much less at the time.

    If I'm going to have console games on my PC, they are going to have to be through emulation. 
     
    I'll only buy console games on consoles. If you have yourself an Xbox of PS3, just buy yourself the Sega Genesis collection for 20 bucks or less. You get way more games AND you get to play them on consoles.
