    I love the attention to detail here; this isn't just a number of classics slapped into a collection with no thought - this is a set that was meticulously put together and each game is given the proper respect to make you want to play every single one of them, which is what a classics collection should do.
  2. Heck, the collection is worth buying for "Phantasy Star II and IV" alone--they may feel a little rusty, but they're probably the best RPG's on the PSP. [Jan. 2007, p.84]
  3. A dream come true for those who loved the incredible lineup of titles that made the Genesis such a great console.
  4. The real appeal of Mega Drive Collection is as an interactive history lesson. [Mar 2007, p.114]

    Great compilation, one of the best for any system. 28 plus games, difficult some of them, but in the 90 's that was the premise of the console games to compensate the short of them. Buy it while it lasts. Expand

    The best retro compilation on the PSP with a generous number of classics resuscitated.
