Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection last edited by Galamoth on 08/13/22 06:22AM View full history OverviewSonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection (known in the UK as Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection) is a compilation of 48 classic titles (49 if you count the two different versions of Altered Beast) that were originally for the Genesis/Mega Drive, Sega Master System, and arcade. While staying true to the original feel and play of the games, developer Backbone Entertainment added a number of features such as allowing three "save states" slots and visual settings to stretch the view to 16:9 wide-screen as well as to apply a "smoothing filter" that gives the game a less pixelated look. Each game also has their own museum which includes the original box art, cartridge art, and general information and trivia about the title. The collection also features video interviews with a few of the original game developers. It was released for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on February 10th, 2009 for US$29.99.Included Genesis/Mega Drive TitlesAlex Kidd in the Enchanted CastleAlien StormAltered BeastBeyond OasisBonanza Bros.ColumnsComix ZoneDecap Attack starring Chuck D.
