.....or instead of paying 400-800 ms points (most likely) buy the genesis ultimate collection for 30$.... it comes with altered beast (arcade and genesis), phantasy star 1,2,3 and 4, comix zone, sonic 1,2,3, 3D blast,spinball, and knuckles,plus a few other note worth genesis games (personally i got it for vectorman 1 and 2)...but imo the collection on disc is a waaaaaaay better value and investment than buying these titles separately on xbla for 5 bucks a piece.... just my two cents

if you only want one or two though, this is better.

if they were like $1.99 or $2.50 a piece, it'd be worth it. I definetly do not need to spend anymore money or time on Sonic 1 through knuckles ever again!

Those games already sucked away majority of my childhood. I'd rather reserve my adulthood for new expierences or the most extreme nostalgia like comixzone/gunstar.
But I certainly don't need all those other games in the ultimate collection.

Why would you buy this when all these games are available on the SONIC ULTIMATE GENESIS COLLECTION?? (Yes....the true arcade version ALTERED BEA ST along with a # of other titles) Did I mention the easy 1000 achievement points?

True. Got a Platinum trophy two days after buying the disc. VERY easy trophies/achievements. And as mentioned, the collection includes both versions of the game.

So...does this mean new graphics? Doesn't Microsoft and Sony have some kinda policy that a PSN/XBLA retro title must have an upgrade?

Either way, I can't freaking WAIT to lose 4,000 times in Comic Zone.

Altered Beast? Wasn't that a large turd of a game or is there some kind of modern pop culture boner over it that I'm missing out on?

Altered Beast is so awful. Ugh.

The more Comix Zone, the better, though. Those achievements are kinda lame though. You'll get most of them just for finishing the game once.

Honestly, I don't think we'll have to wait long for an HD-ified version of Crazy Taxi. That would be flippin' sweet.

If you have a PS3, just get Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection. Or if you have a Wii, Comix Zone is available on the Virtual Console, if that's the one you're after.

I should probably be clear that Gunstar Heroes is absent from Ultimate Genesis Collection for some reason, but the rest of the games listed are on it. :P (And Gunstar Heroes is on the Virtual Console, I believe.)

Think maybe this is what the rating system on the genesis collection was for.....?

I am only 19...
But...

lulz at the 12- year old prepubescent kids thinking that they are so awesome because they got "Halo".
I love these older games. IMO many of them kick the crap out of the new stuff.

Wow... I would have broken out Altered Beast on my Genesis had it not been dropped and broke years ago... Sigh, I guess I would fill my retro needs by playing some Toejam&Earl on my Genesis.
They need a remake of that, with online capabilities.
People could drop in/out of your game while your playing...
That would be balls to the wall awesome!
