Classic Sega games on steam

[Bioapb]

Has anyone else browsed the selection of old Sega Genesis games on Steam? If so, any recommendations? I had a system way back int he day but I don't recognize a lot of those games. So what's good people?

Shining Force and Streets of Rage. Their collection is kind of odd--missing some real classics.

i also hear that they dont have online multi-player. However they still have local multi

If they have Phantasy Star 4 I'd go for that (haven't looked). 1-3 decent too, but 4 was the best.

I would buy Phantasy Star 2 in a heartbeat if they had it. Honestly I did not even realize they had these game son there. Is Altered Beast on Steam? :hmm:

ya they have AB

Cool, I'll definitely have to check this out when I get home to see the prices. I played the crap out of my Genesis when I was a kid, so I'd love to grab some games for nostalgia if nothing else if they are nice and cheap.

Another good thing about the updated SEGA games is they support the 360 controller.

PS3? PS3 was terrible D: I played for like half an hour before I decided it was so bad I couldn't play through the rest of it. 2 and 4 were great. I especially played the death out of 4 even though there wasn't a whole lot of customization... at this point I've probably beaten it over 10+ times. Might not sound impressive for such a short game but given my age...

Unfortunately they don't have any PS titles.

Whoops, I meant 2. I'm not sure I've played 3, but I played through 2 about 5 times. Such an amazing game.

Sorry, it's been a while, my old brain forgets which game was which.

Go back and play PS1 on SMS too. That game was incredibly awesome for the time.

i have most all the US releases on my PSP. a little over 500 i think. i play Thunder Force 4 and Devil's Crash alot. Started playing Rise of the dragon segacd version. I never did beat it back in the day, so i'm trying agian. still have my genesis and sega CD in a closet.

 

[zinfamous]

I have fond memories of Phantasy Star 2. I can hear that damn music in my head right now.

 

[Jadow]

ya they have AB

AB sucks so much. Golden Axe arcade, now that's a great game.

It does, but I want to know if I can still beat the game without being hit. :awe:

I am Hoping and dreaming that The sega cd game Dark Wizard makes it on steam someday. That was one of my favorite console games from the Genesis era.

 

[QueBert]

Toejam & Earl on Steam would be crazy.

 

[Zenoth]

I think that Beyond Oasis was awesome, it was the Genesis' Link to the Past in my opinion. From the Steam's collection I would pick up Gunstar Heroes, Streets of Rage 2, Golden Axe II, Sonic 3 and Knuckles, Vectorman and Comix Zone. It'd be nice if they had Jurassic Park, Robocop VS The Terminator, Road Rash II and General Chaos as well, there were so many other good games on the Sega Genesis, good times.

Fortunately I don't have to buy a single one of them since I own about 40+ Genesis titles, although I don't play them regularly, I still play some every now and then, and when I do it usually doesn't last very long, I tend to get bored fast with them so I try not to push it too much, I just play about one or two hours maximum and I don't play any of them for a week or two. It was awesome back in the days however, of course, I could stay up all night and play games on my Genesis, well in fact I did, many times, and I don't regret it one bit.

Almost grabbed Sword of Vermillion and, well crap I can't remember the name of the other RPG I was looking at. It had a funny looking wizard talking to you in the screenshot? I remember liking it on the Genesis, but the name escapes me at this time. I was hoping for better game packs, but there were lots of games I had no interest in. I was also hoping they would have Wonder Boy in Monster Land, but I can't recall if that was on Genesis, for some reason I think it was. :hmm: I'd buy that instantly.

I haven't looked but do they have the original King's Bounty?

 

[Gheris]

Loved all of the Phantasy Star's, but PS1 blew me away. That was the RPG that really got me into RPGs for years to come. It was way ahead of it's time.

The Shining Force stuff was pretty decent from what I remember. They were early SEGA strategy RPG games from what I remember.

They need Herzog Zewi too, that was the 1st RTS game I remember. I had so much fun playing against my friends.

Oh yeah, Herzog Zwei was freaking awesome. Actually, now that I think about it that probably was the first RTS game I ever played, but I had no idea what an RTS was back then.

I'm also hoping they bring Super Hydlide to Steam. I played that game a lot when I was a kid, but I could never finish it; the last boss always owned me. I want another chance to kick that guy's ass!

Herzog Zwei was like proto-RTS. I don't think anything remotely resembling a modern RTS had come out before then.
