A year or so ago I grumbled about the Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection not being released on PC. Well, now they’ve gone and added a bunch of games to Steam.
It’s not as big a collection as that console release, and Sonic (apart from 3D Blast) is conspicuous in his absence. No Streets Of Rage either, boo. Fortunately they do have classic 16-bit fighting game Golden Axe, which as far as I can tell matches the Megadrive version perfectly. So i should probably make a note on our review of the slightly lacking old PC Port from 1990.
Also after a few beers I went and bought Altered Beast. Which, er, isn’t a classic. Actually it’s kinda crappy.
Meanwhile, the greatest event that will never happen is of course Nintendo releasing any of their classics on PC…

They released Sonic, Ecco The Dolphin and a few otrhers about 15 years ago on PC.
I had a game called Comix Zone which I think has been re-released. Not sure it’s worth another £2 though – might just dig out the box from last time!
