Its not that people hate it, its just that Overwatch ruins all.

It just had cosmically bad launch timing. They should have postponed it 6 months to a year to let the initial overwatch frenzy die off.

https://www.bundlestars.com/en/promo...nesis-pick-mix

each comes as a seperate steam activation key although most get put into the sega mega drive & genesis classics single game (as DLCs). I owned a bunch but still picked up Golden Axe III, Phantasy Star III, Wonder Boy in Monster World, Streets of Rage 3, Beyond Oasis, Dynamite Headdy, Phantasy Star IV, Revenge of the Shinobi, Vectorman 2, Phantasy Star II

also this is a fantastic bundle if you haven't picked it up yet

That sega stuff is awesome...Shining force brings back memories man. I didn't have a Genesis, had Super Nintendo instead (Specifically for the RPGs), so I couldn't play Shining Force at home. Had to play it at a friends house but was never able to finish anything but the first one. Same with Phantasy Star (Only played 2).

Brings back memories.

Hmm, can't seem to get it to process a payment in Bundle Stars, anyone else having issues (Want to see if its them). Paypal, mastercard and Visa won't work.

I'm looking forward to a new game to drop on Steam next week on July 28 called This Is The Police. I'm mostly interested because I remember playing Hill Street Blues in the early 90's and this seems like the closest thing to come out since then.

Realize I'm a bit late but Phantasy Star IV is one of the best RPGs ever made.

I make a point to play that and Chrono Trigger every couple of years.

Agreed. 1-4 are my favorite RPGs of all time - yes, even 3.

PS3 was definitely the worst - although you do have to applaud them for trying something new with the generations system. As a kid I personally did every path because I had nothing better to do. I felt it was still a good game, but the art style was vastly different than the other 3, the sound was a bunch of thuds and bumps, and the story was a bit weak. Still good.

PS2 is my favorite with PS1 right behind it - I wouldn't be able to choose which is better, I seem to change my answer all the time.

I've never actually played them. They're included in the Playstation3 Genesis collection I have maybe I'll try them out at some point.

I'd say start with PS1 but just be prepared for Master System graphics - actually you'll think the graphics are a lot better than Nintendo.

If that bothers you too much you can just start on PS2, you don't really miss much back story. Also you have to unlock PS1 on Genesis Collections by playing 2player on Sonic or something.

I wanted to play those so bad

Play PS4 and you won't have any trouble saying which one is better.

oops, nevermind.

I've played them all many, many times. IV is great, but my nostalgia for 1 and 2 trumps it.

I'll agree it is the superior game in many ways.
