Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection
SEGA MEGA DRIVE ULTIMATE COLLECTION - trailer

I completed all of the achievements for Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection (Sonic's Genesis Ultimate Collection in the US) last night. The last three achievements in the queue were the ones for The Story of Thor, Sonic Spinball and the Play all Mega Drive games one, which involved me loading and quitting each of the 30+ games.
Streets of Rage is still great. Yuzo Koshiro's music hasn't aged at all. I do have to ask why Revenge of Shinobi and Shadow Dancer weren't on the disc, especially since Shinobi III was included. And Decap Attack is not a patch on its Japanese original Magical Flying Hat Turbo Adventure (one of the first MD games I owned).
Also, I wouldn't bother with the widescreen option (which just stretches the picture) and the smoothing option either (the results of which never reach 'better', instead ranging from 'different' to 'shocking'.)
Not sure about Shadow Dancer, but Revenge of Shinobi wasn't included as it contains Spider-Man and at the time they didn't want to alter the ROM to change the character to something that wouldn't cause legal problems. I know they released it on the Wii with the Spider-Man sprite altered.
And that collection was awesome. Having Streets of Rage 2, Shining Force and Shinobi 3 all on a console of mine that still works was great.
