Sorta unrelated but what are some good emulators that work with Windows 10?
Gens doesn't seem to be cutting it anymore.

If you want Toejam and Earl I'd get the keys ASAP because I guarantee those keys will be the first to run out.

No Mac support! Lame
Sonic CD is a port, it's not emulated. It's a stand alone title not associated with the Genesis Collection.
But from my experience all of the games run just like they did on the Genesis (Some of them I actually played on a original Genesis). Sega also opened the flood gates for mods so they are possible on these games now.

Sonic CD is part of the package, and so is Toe Jam and Earl 1 and 2? Too bad I own just about everything there.
Ya, I own everything except for the two Toejam and Earl games. This is a good deal for those who missed the Genesis though.

Worth it for the two Toe Jam and Earl games and Sonic CD. 20 Genesis games for 4.99 is a bargain as well.

Ristar? Already got Gunstar Heroes from that Sega giveaway months back.
Turns out I was 8 games short of owning the entire collection, this left me to pick two spares I already own.

Every game except for Sonic CD works with the Classics Hub. So yes.
Sonic CD is a separate entity because it is the Taxman port that supports 16:9 widescreen and is not an emulation.
The $1.99 bundle worked out perfectly for me to pick up stragglers I've always wanted that did not appear in Sega Genesis PS2/PSP, Amazon Bundle 4, various PSN purchases, and two Humble Bundles I've got.
Picked up Streets of Rage 3, Toejam 2, Beyond Oasis, Robotnik Bean Machine and Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

Huh... that game was on SNES... I just remember it for Yuzo Koshiro's music so I figured it was SEGA this whole time
EDIT: nvm, i did it twice...

lOOK Above you and grab it quick XP
Is the classics hub the emulator? Can you run the mods on other emualators?
MrCunningham

This is what the Classic Game Hub looks like:
It loads mods like this:
And yeah, it is very easy to use mods on other emulators, though you have track them down and download them all individually.

This should work. I had a duplicate code for Shining Force 1 but it seems that in bundle stars... if you hit redeem key and close the page you can't see the code ever again =(

So, is it possible to buy 2 of the $5 bundles and get 40 games for $10? I didn't know if they only allowed one sale per user.

I'm only missing four of the games on Steam, but one of them (Shadow Dancer) doesn't seem to be part of the Bundle Stars deal here. Weird.

20 Sega games of your choosing for the price of a single NES title on the virtual console. Sweet Jesus....

I had this question during the humble bundle sega sale but didn't ask so I didn't buy anything
Do these games have that cool sega front end on steam?
the one that lets you run mods and has the fake living room interface.
how does that work?
I dont want 20 individual launchers for this but would really like that

Everything from this bundle but Sonic CD should run from that same front end.

Do you still have them? I would love one because that's the only genesis game I don't own.

In this collection:
Recommended:
- Phantasy Star IV - Traditional JRPG. It is also the best in the Phantasy Star series on the Genesis.
- Shining Force 2 - Strategy RPG
- Land Stalker - Action RPG, slightly inspired by Zelda but with an emphasis on leveling up. Though the isometric viewpoint can be a little bit of an issue in some spots.
- Beyond Oasis - Anther action RPG, this one focuses on summons and has an interesting combat system for a 16 bit game.
- Shining in the Darkness - First person dungeon crawler.
Second tier:
Shining Force - not as polished as the second game, but still worth your time.
Phantasy Star 2 - This one can get tedious and grindy, it may also be a bit too archaic for some. Personally I enjoy the game.
Third tier:
Phantasy Star 3 - this one is very dividing. Some people like it, others don't.
Sword of Vermilion - This was designed by Yu Suzuki and got a lot of high praise back in the day. Though personally I don;t think it has aged all that well. It is an interesting blend of overhead, first person dungeon crawling and player controlled combat.
Light Crusader - This one was developed by Treasure, and to be honest is one of their weaker games. It is an isometric action RPG with some platforming. It is a great looking game, but feels lackluster.
I'm sure people will disagree with my list. But this is generally my opinion.

Check out this Phantasy Star 4 review, it doesn't spoil the plot but should get you very interested in playing it

If you make a bundle without Comix Zone you fail at videogames.
Hard.
Hard.
I highly recommend Gain Ground to fill up your queue. It's a top down run and gun puzzle game with 20 collectable playable warriors from the past and the future. Two player co-op, good music, and tons of variety between the characters make for a fun adventure that is quite challenging.

The US link doesn't include any of the Games in the 5th pack, and it was missing the Sonic games which I got through the last Sega Humble Bundle.
Here's a more complete list. I picked up the Sega Humble Bundle, and Sega Megadrive and Genesis packs 1-5 and I still didn't have ToeJam & Earl 1&2.
