Got so excited and bought this without realizing I have Windows 8 which is not compatible with it.

Oh well it's only $2.68

What do you mean??

I'm playing on W8 right now.

 

[GutsOfThor]

I looked at Amazon and it didn't list windows 8.

Lol

 

[Sillution]

Thank you so much OP! Bought!

 

[thestopsign]

I bought this solely to play Shining Force and Phantasy Star, which games in those series should I play (all of them?).

 

[Vamphuntr]

Ridiculous deal. Thanks OP

 

[BreezyLimbo]

No Sonic no buy

 

[Hollycat]

i'm getting a currently unavailable thing.

 

[Demoskinos]

Yeah, says Unavailable now... Weird.

 

[JC Lately]

Isn't this basically the same content as the Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection from last gen?

 

[Quadraphonic]

Isn't this basically the same content as the Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection from last gen?

Minus Sonic.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Wow I even got promotional credits from the deal. Haha

 

[JC Lately]

And no Phantasy Star 1 it looks like. No great loss but no reason for me to buy it either.

 

[tim_pkmn89]

And no Phantasy Star 1 it looks like. No great loss but no reason for me to buy it either.

It was Master System/GameGear-only in the US

Phantasy Star 1 isnt even available on PC though :/

Anyways, damn I cant believe I missed this T_T - says unavailable now D:

 

[zma1013]

[BasilZero]

Yeah, says Unavailable now... Weird.

Same here :/

Which is odd...being digital and all...dat digital future lol.

 

[Princess Viola]

how the shit is this unavailable it's digital dammit

 

[mugoldeneagle03]

The 48 game pack was just up and is down now as well. Dammit.

 

[FunkyMunkey]

Unavailable? Damn what???

 

[BasilZero]

The 48 game pack was just up and is down now as well. Dammit.

Noticed that too but wasnt gonna get that since I already have all the Sonic games on Steam lol - wanted Pack #5 ;(

 

[isny]

The 48 pack seems to be available. Not Steam activated though eh? =/

 

[bobbychalkers]

Was just about to buy it too......

 

[bigosc2k]

Should of just paid for this on my phone when it was still around.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Isn't this basically the same content as the Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection from last gen?

Not really.

VS

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic's_Ultimate_Genesis_Collection

SUGC has 9 exclusive arcade/SMS games.

SMDCC has:
Landstalker, Revenge of Shinobi, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Wonder Boy in Monster World, both ToeJam & Earl games, Gunstar Heroes, Light Crusader, Alien Soldier, Wonder Boy 3: Monster Lair, Columns 3, Bio-Hazard Battle, Galaxy Force 2, Space Harrier 2, and Crack Down, Sword of Vermillion, and Shadow Dancer
(Although you have to get a separate pack a few of the games. It's a bit of a mess). I have one set with 50 games, and another with just 4 (Sonic 3D Blast, Sonic 1, 2, 3+K)

Both are fantastic compilations.

Also I don't see the big deal with this collection being Steam activated. It's not like there are any achievements or cards.

 

[firebranded]

how the shit is this unavailable it's digital dammit

They sold the allotted number of keys at the given price. Figured it was that so I grabbed ASAP, and got a 1 buck mp3 credit to boot.

Thanks for posting btw OP!

 

[Joeku]

Oh fuck me, just got home from work after seeing this a couple hours ago. Ugh, and I loved Dynamite Headdy so.

 

[Ultimadrago]

This is the version of the 48 game pack redeemable on Steam.


*Note that the availability of the bundles has been intermittent. Check back later if it is sold out.

Thanks for the heads up. Got this pack.

Thanks, jumped on that deal.

 

[davepoobond]

shit, now they're unavailable?

 

[exmachina64]

shit, now they're unavailable?

The 48 game Steam pack is still available.

 

[Naked Snake]

shit, now they're unavailable?

Noooooooo

Hope it comes back in stock

 

[davepoobond]

The 48 game Steam pack is still available.

the phantasy stars and golden axes were the more interesting ones for me... oh well. hopefully it comes back.

 

[Zero-Crescent]

Depending on how long this sale was pegged to last, they may get more keys in if Sega approves them. At least, that's how it worked in the past.

 

[SystemUser]

The 48 pack looks good. Shining Force games and Toejam and Earl games. Also Sonic 1, 2, 3&K.

US only. Goddamn this is infuriating. Why is this a thing?

I am in the USA and I just bought the 48 pack. Is the 48 pack available outside of the USA? When I installed it says that it is presented by Sega Europe.

[Defect]

Good thing I grabbed this earlier.

 

[Psxphile]

Strange, seeing as they saw fit to include both Monster Land 1 and 2. Speaking of which: do these emulated versions of Monster Land(s) include the FM audio or are they just PSG?

Also: Phantasy Star 1 apparently has a Mega Drive version. Might not have been retail, though.

 

[Maneauleau]

The two extremes: this and the 8$ Super NES games on Wii U VC :/
Thanks for the heads-up OP, great deal

this.

how I wish the VC games were cheaper

 

[Shaneus]

Just to confirm (I'm at home now) you can add the games from both packs into the same "data" directory. So I have "Sega Genesis and Mega Drive Classics" in Steam, but I copied over everything from the 48 game pack into the Steam-based 50-game one, and avoided overwriting anything because all duplicate files were the same (except "g0005.pak" which I renamed to "g0057.pak"), giving me 57 games:

IMO there's not much point in having both (unless you're a completionist) but considering the number of games in total, buying both really isn't all that expensive.

 

[Lafazar]

I asked about this on the first page and was told it wasn't worth the hassle to extract the Roms from this collection. Is it really that difficult then to do so? If so is there a tutorial somewhere on how to do so? Any help would be appreciated.

It's not hard at all, you just need to download a tool and a separate script for the tool:

[wondermega]

Wish they would do a PC-engine collection like this too!

 

[MaLDo]

CRT shaders for this??

Built-in TV effect is blurry as shit.

 

[SystemUser]

I am trying to use Madcatz SF4 Xbox 360 fightpad. I installed the Win 7 32 bit drivers and Windows recognizes the controller as an SF4 fightpad. All of the buttons work in the device test in the windows control panel. The Xbox guide button brings up the toast that says that Windows recognizes the controller as the player one Xbox controller.

I would like to use this controller since it is the closest thing I have to a USB Genesis controller. The Sega Classics options menu doesn't give me the option to use this controller. It only seems to allow me to use a keyboard. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? What controllers are you guys using?

The type of controller I am attempting to use:

 

[Naked Snake]

I've been refreshing the Amazon page all day hoping to see it available again

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

I've been refreshing the Amazon page all day hoping to see it available again

It still says available to me.

 

[Naked Snake]

It still says available to me.

It says available on mobile for some reason but you can't buy it (there is no buy or add to cart button), and on desktop/web it says unavailable.

Edit: I'm talking about the 50-game pack, not the 48-game pack.

 

[Sulik2]

Worth it for Sword of Vermillion alone.

 

[alf717]

Thanks for the info. Does an all in one pack exist? Doesn't make sense to buy both and have dupes.

The 48 mega pack has all the game packs in the second compilation except for 5 I think, so just buy gamepack 5
