While everyone has undoubtedly gotten their fill of Sega Genesis compilation discs by now, today’s announcement from Sega shows us that it’s never too late for old-school games to get in on the sweet digital distribution action.
On June 1, Steam and other unnamed download outlets are getting the following titles:Altered Beast,Comix Zone,Crack Down,Ecco the Dolphin,Gain Ground,Golden Axe,Shadow Dancer: The Secret of Shinobi,Sonic 3D Blast,Space Harrier II, andVectorman. At $2.99 a pop, you don’t have to feel too terrible about getting a few of these.
It’s bizarre to me that Sega is only now doing this, although a lot of what the company does these days has me feeling the same way. At any rate, I still think they ought put their entire library of Genesis/Arcade titles out on, say, iPhone and charge like $.99 per game. No one could resistRistarat that price. No one.
