  A bit tricky, but not hard per se. You can always check out the copious amounts of video guides online.

Not very spring related.

Ilomilo’s awesome, a must buy.
PvZ’s either only a 33% saving (typical MS) or 600 points, clarification plz.

SEGA sale list:
800MSP
Sonic 4 E1
Virtual On

400 MSP
Afterburner Climax
Crazy Taxi
Happy Tree Friends
OutRun OA
Sonic Adventure

240MSP (not 200? ¬_¬)
Comix Zone
Ecco The Dolphin
Golden Axe
Gunstar Heroes
Phantasy Star II
Shinobi
Sonic 1
Sonic 2
Sonic 3
Streets of Rage 2

OPINIONS AND ADVICE

So that’s the third time Sonic 4′s been this price, it’s an okay game but if you wanted it for 800 you’d have bought it by now.
Virtual On should have had a price drop ages ago, it’s really not mass-market appeal. Top game but should be 600 tops this far along.
After Burner Climax is FANTASTIC but again, this is the umpteenth time it’s been 400 so you should have got it by now.

I see MS were too stingy to drop to 200 on the MD games. It’s only half off when you feel like it, huh?
Gunstar Heroes is worth getting as it is NOT on the Megadrive Collection disc, and Golden Axe is worth it as it’s the coin-op version and has online play, coin-op isn’t on the collection.
Arguably Streets of Rage 2 is worth getting too simply because the addition of online play. And unlike Sonic 2, SoR2′s netcode seems alright.
The rest of the MD/Gen games there are all already on the disc but they’re good cheevo fodder if you’re into that, and they DO have online support, unlike the disc.

Hope that helped.

  Thanks for this list. I find most of the old games redone to be pretty bland, especially with gameplay. I don’t understand why, I played all these game on arcade or Genesis. You are helping the Internet work.

    I like how they bothered with savestates and such, and the online. Although releasing ones on the collection already after the collection came out was a bit lame.

  Thanks for the heads up. I agree with all your points.

Major it says Plants Vs Zombies is 800 points with a saving of 50%…i am pretty sure the game isn’t usually 1600 points is it?..or should the new price be 600 points? :p

Checking the Marketplace on my PC it appears the SEGA Classics are all 200points. Just getting myself some Golden Axe and a couple of others I think….

I would download Plants Vs Zombies for 600pts but not 800pts. I already have it on PC.

  I think it’s worth it on the 360. I like the HD graphics and widescreen view. Not sure why PopCap hasn’t made it for widescreen on the PC yet. Plus, I can view the leader board page against my Xbox Live friends which is quite unique. They have the different houses you can buy and upgrade to show off. It’s not something phenomenal, but it’s a nice touch and something to strive for that gets you to keep playing. PopCap seems to care about finishing their games to perfection.

Major claims to read these comments and yet this is the 2nd week in a row P vs Z has not been listed at 50% off and several people have pointed it out.

Major stop IGNORING people who are pointing out that Plants Vs zombies is not 50% off! Change it please.

  Agreed! It should be 600msp, not 800msp.

You poor welfare bastards get it for cheaper and want it even cheaper? Get a damn job you poor bastards and you can afford it.

  Wow, is that all you can say. I remember you used to post stuff like this with your GT. It’s funny as “poor” seems to be your favourite word. It’s more likely you are the poor one and you just compensate for the fact you live in a caravan.
