A great compilation of Megadrive games, some I've never really played properly until getting this. And some I've enjoyed even more this time around. I've always had a soft spot for Comix Zone, but playing it again was great. A fantastic concept for its time, just a shame there's no continues.

Really got into Shadow Dancer as well. Until I got to a spammy boss anyway. But up until that point, it was excellent. The Golden Axe games are always a treat and although I haven't played them yet, I'm really looking forward to getting stuck into a couple of the RPG's. I've had them on previous compilations etc, but I could never be arsed with them so I'm hoping to spend a good deal of time with the likes of Shining in the Darkness and Landstalker.

There are a few on there that have aged like milk, however. I always remember Kid Chameleon being RAD AS FUCK back in the olden days when raybans and leather jackets were only worn by the coolest, toughest mother fuckers around. But Kid Chameleon is no longer any of those. It's just pretty shaky. Time for the retirement home, Kid.

The experience was made even more fun by playing with the retrobit 6 button Megadrive controller, which I'd actually been waiting to get before playing this game. A great time and a very good collection of games. Could've done with one or two vehicular based titles though.
