More Sega Genesis 'Classics' Hit PC

by Alice O'Connor, Jul 23, 2010 8:20am PDT

Sega has revealed the second batch of eleven Sega Genesis "classics" it's releasing for download on PC, a list including Ecco Jr, Kid Chameleon, Ristar and Sonic Spinball.

Ristar and Sonic Spinball.

As with the first batch, it's debatable whether some of these are "classics" but they're only $2.99 each and each is sure to stir up misty childhood memories for someone.

Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle
Bonanza Bros.
Columns
Dr.Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine
Ecco Jr.
Eternal Champions
Galaxy Force II
Kid Chameleon
Ristar
Sonic Spinball
Super Thunder Blade

The eleven "classics" are currently available on GamersGate--where you can also get the lot in a $14.95 bargain bundle--and are due to be released via Steam too.

I hope they bring back Crusader of Centy, since they are releasing some obscure games. Also, it would be nice to play the Phantasy Star games on PC (legally of course). Oh, and Toe Jam and Earl.

Ristar is the most awesome game ever released on Genesis. It's fucking unbelievable how this gem went under everyone's radar. Price is fine but I play it on Gens :)

Sonic Spinball is a game that could use a modern update, I can imagine cleaver use of the new fandagled 3D technology as well.
