Screenshots – SMD Ultimate Collection

Known as "Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection" in America for reasons we won’t go into as it only resulted in lots of complaining that S3&K wasn’t in it, this early 2009 complilation was the first of its kind for the 360 and was a collection of a vast majority of the available Mega Drive (or Genesis) titles worked so they could be played on PS360 by Backbone – who were responsible for the SEGA Vintage Collection.

Certain titles couldn’t be put in for licence purposes (like the lawsuit-rific The Revenge of Shinobi, featuring Spider-man, the Termiantor and Godzilla to name but three) but it featured multiple titles from Golden Axe, Streets Of Rage, Phantasy Star and of course Sonic as well as other forgotten gems such as Kid Chamelion, Decap Attack and Fatal Labyrinth.
