[edit] Page Restricted

This page should be restricted from anonymous editing as it's been edited to incorrectly list games not included on several occasions. Someone must like it a bit too much.

[edit] FINALLY!

They've finally released a compilation of Sega Genesis games! Now I can play Ecco and Columns again! Now if only Nintendo would do the same. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.188.172.165 (talk • contribs)

Phantasy Star II, III, and IV are reason enough for me to buy this.  :D CardinalFangZERO 22:23, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sonic 1 and 2

I won't mention this in the article, since it would be considered POV, but I have to mention this. The inclusion of Sonic 1 and 2 is, in my opinion, redundant. They, along with Flicky, can already be played on Sonic Mega Collection Plus. THIS collection is where they should have included the Streets of Rage series. It's as though Sega has lost touch with it's consumers... Brittany Ka 15:04, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

It's worth buying on the PSP anyway. I already have. Collision Cat 20:31, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
A Sega Genesis Collection without a sampling of the Sonic series would be considered incomplete by the gaming public. If anything, this will attract gamers to buy Sonic Mega Collection for more of the Sonic series. Space constraints didn't keep the Streets of Rage series off this collection. Leo_Ames

[edit] This entire article is a hoax

For starters, there's no such thing as Sega Genesis Collection 2 and I really doubt Midway would release all classic MK games on a SEGA compilation.

I am just going to rewrite the entire thing... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Caos2 (talk • contribs) 12:14, 25 February 2007 (UTC).

I just reverted the page back to the original Sega Genesis Collection version, before all the unsigned edits that made changes like a release date in 2008 and a bunch of wish-list games. 17.201.38.216 18:15, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
Caos2 had already reverted the article to remove those edits, so what was the point of your reversion? All your reversion did was to remove subsequent and valid edits. Maybe your browser displayed a cached version of the article? Majikk 08:36, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
Hm, I’m not sure what happened. I opened the article for the first and only time, and saw the fake references to 2008. Went to Talk, and saw Caos2’s comment about changing it back, but I didn’t see that any changes had been made, so I did it myself. In any case, I’m glad that it’s fixed now. 17.201.38.216 17:58, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

This article is still vandalized, last night I was attempting to fix it back to the correct version but for some reason I got banned for "vandalizing". The first time I changed it back I saved it but it still changed back to the vandal version again. "King of Hearts" or whoever banned me but I was trying to fix the article. It does not make sense to be banned for trying to correct an article that some other moron keeps changing to the wrong version. I also deleted the unfounded claim about Digital Eclipse using "heavy anti-aliasing causing the games to look messy and blurry" This is not cited and there is no source for this so it does not belong in the article. The same person probably put this claim in the Capcom Collection articles as well, but again there is no basis for it. I still have my Sega Genesis and any owner that had/has one can attest to the fact that when the system is connected to a SD TV, the games always looked slightly blurry on the Genesis only. They look much clearer on the Genesis Collection. The games may look blurry on an hdtv/plasma/lcd but PS2 games are in SD anyways so yes, they may look blurry on an HD tv. But they look much better than they did in this collection than on the genesis originally. I didn't even think it was possible to use anti-aliasing for 2D graphics anyways, I thought it only referred to 3D environments and removing jagged edges from polygonal environments and characters within the game. Anyways, someone please fix this article and if there is some sort of embedded html code in the page that always changes it back to the idiotic vandalized version, fix that also. I won't try to correct this article because i'll be banned for something I am not guilty of at all. Also, to the person that created the vandal version of this article: you are not funny, and your version is absolutely absurd and it is not amusing in the slightest, if you want the genesis games that you have on your wish list version of this article, download a genesis emulator and then dl the roms of the games that were not included in the SGC. But don't create some lame fantasy made-up version of the Sega Genesis collection that clearly does not exist. - Russell

I just changed the article back to the last correct version before it was vandalized on 5/13. hopefully it stays this way. - Russell

[edit] Shouldn't the correct title be Sega Mega Drive Collection?

Typing in Sega Genesis redirects you to Sega Mega Drive, so why doesn't the same apply here? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.198.239.14 (talk) 04:14, 6 March 2007 (UTC).

  • I believe the rule is that page titles can reflect whatever official English-language name or spelling the page creator wants. It's part of Wikipedia's rules against favoring one region over another. The creator of this page named it "Sega Genesis Collection", so that's what it's called. -Unknownwarrior33 23:49, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

I think it should be Sega Mega Drive Collection. Since that the name in most countries.Philip1992 15:02, 28 April 2007 (UTC)Philip1992

[edit] Sega Genesis Collection developer

I corrected the developer of this collection, Sega didn't program this title. Digital Eclipse were the developers. Sega had input and control over the project, and were the original developers of the titles included on the collection, but did not assemble this collection and do the emulation programming and such.

Also, there are visual issues with collections like these. Modern game consoles like the PS2 and Xbox can't output the native signals of a system like the Genesis, so they're upscaled to 480i on SD televisions from their original lower resolution, causing odd shimmering effects and such, but not blurring.

[edit] Boxart

I added this into the article.
