SEGA Genesis Classics For PS4, Xbox One, PC Brings Over 50 Classic Games

Fans of classic games will be having a very good day with SEGA launching the SEGA Genesis Classics collection of games for the PS4, Xbox One and PC.

Costing $30, the collection itself comprises no fewer than 53 different games covering what we feel sure will be everyone’s favorites from Altered Beast to one of our personal favorites, Columns.

While Nintendo and indeed SEGA have launched hardware of late which can play games of this ilk, neither of them are as convenient as being able to just slam a disc into a console and get right into the action.

If you are old enough to remember the games on this list then we are sure you’re as giddy as we are and if you’re not, well, you’re in for a real treat if this is the first time you are playing some of these titles. So what exactly are those 53 games that will be eating the next however many hours of your life? Well, let’s take a look.
