SEGA Genesis Collection -- Initial Impression.

SEGA Genesis Collection is just that, a collection of SEGA Genesis games on the PlayStation 2. The disc holds twenty-eight Genesis titles that are open to play from the start. There are five arcade games to unlock. As well as the usual histories, art, tips, and interviews these retro collections tend to have. I won't be playing all of the titles on the disc, as I own and have played most of them to completion numerous times in their original forms. The initial impression seems to be that the interface is clean and simple. The best route to take with these collections. The emulation seems strong. We'll have to go through each of them to see how exacting they actually are. The overly obvious sound issues from previous collected Genesis games don't seem to be here. The twenty-eight games in the collection are as follows: Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle, Altered Beast, Bonanza Bros., Columns, Comix Zone, Decap Attack: Starring Chuck D. Head, Ecco the Dolphin, Ecco II: The Tides of Time,  Ecco, Jr., Kid Chameleon, Flicky, Gain Ground, Golden Axe, Golden Axe II, Golden Axe III, Phantasy Star II, Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom, Phantasy Star IV: The End of the Millennium, Ristar: The Shooting Star, Shadow Dancer: The Secret of Shinobi, Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master, Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Super Thunder Blade, Sword of Vermilion, Vectorman, Vectorman 2, and Virtua Fighter 2.
