Summary

While there are lots of Japanese games companies jumping on the retro gaming bandwagon, SEGA Classics Collection for the PlayStation 2 will have hardened SEGA fanboys dancing with joy.

The title is a definitive retro compendium of eight timeless SEGA games - Golden Axe, OutRun, Virtua Racing, Columns, Monaco GP, Space Harrier, Fantasy Zone, Tant R & Bonanza Bros.

All the above titles were previously only available on the SEGA Master System, SEGA Mega Drive or in the arcades. No more. You can now enjoy all the above titles on your PS2, all with enhanced sounds and graphics providing, unbelievably, a superior gameplay experience. Good gameplay is timeless, and SEGA classics with enhanced sound and graphics is beyond time!

Fans of SEGA’s arcade driving titles are in for a real treat. Blaze across the checkpoint in your souped up racer in OutRun, deciding which fork in the road to take next. Grab the wheel in Virtua Racing and take a trip back into SEGA history in this remake of the arcade classic. Leave plenty of tyre tread ripping through the crazy courses of Monaco GP.

And there’s so much more. Construct your own hydraulic moving arcade cabinet to enjoy Space Harrier to the full in your lounge - battling futuristic monsters and robots with lock-on lasers.

SEGA Fantasy devotees can travel to the dark ages and wield magic spells as a warrior, maiden or dwarf in Golden Axe. Or in Fantasy Zone, you can climb aboard your Opa-Opa and get rich quick as defeated enemies drop coins.

In Columns, you have to arrange falling jewels in piles of three or more horizontally, vertically, or diagonally and remove them while making chains that earn you the big points. In Tant R & Bonanza Bros you can play alone or grab three friends to play through all 40 mini-games! Clear them all and you'll gain access to the special Bonus Game.

It's pure SEGA joy.
