Altered Beast - $2.99
Comix Zone - $2.99
Crack Down - $2.99
Ecco the Dolphin - $2.99
Gain Ground - $2.99

Alien Soldier, Dynamite Headdy, Gunstar Heroes, Streets of Rage, Phantasy Star, Sonic CD, Shining Force, Strider, Light Crusader, Snatcher.

These games/game series' need to be put on Steam.. Either because they're games everyone should play and/or they go for stupid prices on eBay now and aren't obtainable without forking over some large amounts of cash.

Sega always seem to forget these games that are, for the most part, constantly at the top of every fanmade Top 10 Mega Drive list. Hell they could branch out and sell some Saturn titles like Panzer Dragoon Saga or NIGHTS.

C'mon Sega, you've been beating around the bush forever, neglecting these games. Take a risk and put them up there, you'd probably be surprised.

Road Rash please! and the original Ninja Gaiden!

Also, do these have save games? I used to leave my Sega on while I went to school on pause. Awesome save feature I know.

Every time I see screenshots of Altered Beast it gives me a flashback to being a little kid flipping through the JC Penney Christmas catalog and marveling at the super advanced 16-bit technology. Good times.

What I don't get is the Classic Pack which includes all 11 games. There is absolutely no savings, what kind of pack is that. Make it $19.99 for all of them and maybe people would actually buy it.

Comix Zone is an underrated gem. Sadly, it got overlooked by many because of the release of Playstation and Sega Saturn. If they had released it a year earlier, it would have been a much bigger success instead of being reduced to a cult classic.
