It's SEGA time! Will you get these games?
Yeah, not really interested in these prepackaged roms and emulators. Seems like the same thing, with less options.

Own most of them still, but if I can pick up all of them (3 bundles worth) I will for my niece.
Comment has been collapsed.
Those 4 games are the only ones that aren't available on Steam in my country (Germany) because they were forbidden back when they came out and still are. I guess that's why Bundle Stars didn't bother to add them.. which is sad becaue I already own every other Sega game and only those are missing.

I grabbed most of these elsewhere, and I think I'll pass on finishing my collection because I have all my nostalgia fuel already. :3

A good way to get both Toejam and Earl games. They weren't included in the previous packages of these that Ive bought.
Comment has been collapsed.
I imagine Toejam and Earl are the only games most are missing.
Comment has been collapsed.
That actually makes sense as a pick and mix bundle. Don't think I'll bother though. Like a previous chap said, ROMs.
Comment has been collapsed.
This is a perfect bundle for getting those few Sega classics that are not included in a bundle!
By comparing the available list of games for the mix bundle, there are about 9 games specifically that have not been included in the SEGA MegaDrive & Genesis Classics Packs. The games that are only available as single purchases outside of the classics packs are:
Sonic CD
Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Sonic 3 and Knuckles
Sonic 3D Blast™
Sonic Spinball™
ToeJam & Earl
ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron
Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine™
SEGA MegaDrive & Genesis Classics Pack 1
SEGA MegaDrive & Genesis Classics Pack 2
SEGA MegaDrive & Genesis Classics Pack 3
SEGA Genesis Classics Pack 4 NA
SEGA Mega Drive and Genesis Classics Pack 5
You can get the near complete collection for about $15 instead of the $62 for the SEGA Mega Drive and Genesis Classics.
NOW THAT IS A DEAL!
Yet, there are SO MANY other Sega Classics that are not yet available... :-L

They've all been included except for Toejam and Earl in various Amazon bundles.

Ah, well, these are the ones NOT in a steam pack that is.

thank you! I've added this to the OP. you've really helped a lot of people out who want to complete their collections, including me! Credited and noted ❤

Thank YOU, Rachel. I feel that the whole of SG community owes you much respect and gratitude for your effort in making these posts and charts. So much so that I think that Who Is Gaming now emails are not needed to tell people of current deals.
Comment has been collapsed.
btw there is a bundle (or sub) by now, that has them all
http://store.steampowered.com/sub/102625
it even includes Sonic CD which is not a Mega Drive Classic but comes as sperate game to your steam library.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh man! I wish I had known that. I would have then used that list to search for titles that I did not yet have in my own collection. Instead, I scrolled through the list of 'dlc' and checked each game by name! DOH!
Comment has been collapsed.
It was released the same day Sega launched the new emulator in late April i think. before that there were those 5 collections and 8 "lonely" games . I know how you feel, it was a pain to make the game list in my FAQ, which was my main motivation when starting the FAQ.
Comment has been collapsed.
Your FAQ is so well done! There is so much information there. Stuff I did not know or even know where to find.
Comment has been collapsed.
appreciate you read it. I try to keep it up to date and as simple as possible though that is not even possible. the amount of text probably confuses most people rather than helpin them :D

updated. apologies for the delay. lots of games to make a chart for, and alphabetized for your convenience ^^

haha thats true, it's a pain to order this list alpahabetically. thanks for your work rachel

Am I the only one having a hard time seeing which I already have? Is there an easier way than opening each one up in Steam?
Comment has been collapsed.
Look below the table:
"Wondering what games you already own from this bundle? There's an extension/ UserScript for that! It's called the RaChart™ Enhancer, created by my friend and fellow SG member Sighery!
This script enhances the charts by showing you which games you already own from the ones in it. If you own it, the row will be highlighted with a green color.

I have the app at home, but I never noticed that it worked for me actually.
Edit; I'll have to check it later tonight to see why.
Comment has been collapsed.
I use the script! See here: https://www.steamgifts.com/go/comment/LcC9ufQ
Comment has been collapsed.
There's either RaChart's Enchancer (script that works with Rachel's threads) , or you could make an account with barter.vg and you can see what you own in the middle column here https://barter.vg/bundle/1141/ Forgot it doesn't apply for some dlc like in this case
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks, but I am already using it, and it works flawlessly most of the time.
In this case, (I think because the games are launched from another app), none are showing as highlighted except for Sonic CD. I have all the Golden Axe games for example (love those when I was a kid), but all are showing unowned here until I go to the Steam page.
Comment has been collapsed.
I think it's because the games (except for Sonic CD) are all actually DLCs as far as Steam is concerned, not games in your library.
Comment has been collapsed.
Right, so my question is, is there an easy way to tell which I have? Sounds like no?
Comment has been collapsed.
Sounds like a no. Either open each one up or type into your game library. Luckily a lot have the same base; "Sonic" "Shinobi" "Shining", etc it can go a little faster.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, I went through every one on steam. It wasn't that bad after all. (Turns out I already own all of them). Thanks for your help!
Comment has been collapsed.
If you open up the Genesis & Mega Drive classics in your Steam client and look at the DLC list, that should show the ones that you already own.
Comment has been collapsed.
Not quite, unfortunately. Steam reports I own Golden Axe, but it's not listed in the DLC? O.o
Anyway, I manually checked them all, but thanks for your help!
Comment has been collapsed.
Weird. It's certainly a confusing mess the way they handled these games, plus all of the different packs etc.
Comment has been collapsed.
I made a list of the games that you can only get outside of a classics pack. if you have all 5 of the classics packs then those are the 9 you should pick up to complete your collection of games.
Comment has been collapsed.
I understand. But thanks for taking the time to respond anyway and for putting the script together in the first place!
Comment has been collapsed.
open the Steam client, go to your library, select Sega Mega Drive & Genesis Classics, order your DLC by "item" to order them alphabetically and compare to the games offered in the bundle
edit: or go here to see what is in your lib http://store.steampowered.com/sub/102625
Comment has been collapsed.
I had or played all of these games in the olden days :)
For RPG fans, here are the RPGs:
Beyond Oasis
Landstalker: The Treasures of King Nole
Light Crusader
Phantasy Star II
Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom
Phantasy Star IV: The End of the Millennium
Shining Force
Shining Force II
Shining in the Darkness
Sword of Vermilion
And if I could only choose 5 of those to play first I'd probably choose the three Phantasy Star games, Landstalker and Sword of Vermillion
:)
Comment has been collapsed.
Phantasy Star III isn't that great. (Whereas Phantasy Star IV is easily the best Genesis RPG.)
I'd also strongly recommend Beyond Oasis to anyone who likes action-RPGs. The Arabian Nights-style setting is also a bit of a nice change from generic knights-and-dragons fantasyland.
Comment has been collapsed.
this is nice for those people who need to complete their collection
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you Rachel! ^^
Played most of them on my Megadrive and/or Steam and I see they added to the collection as I'm missing 2 (for the moment). :-)

every time I see your avatar, I'm left wondering where that lion is from
Comment has been collapsed.
You can buy the 5 games pack with your 3 missing games and ToeJam & Earl games for me :D XD
I need ToeJam & Earl games to complete the collection XD
Comment has been collapsed.
Hell yeah! Toejam and Earl is one of my favorite games, I played so much of it as a kid. My Genesis is past it's prime, it's time to get the game again on Steam. So cheap too!
Comment has been collapsed.
btw, for all who are confused about the Sega Classics, I once did a F.A.Q. which comes with lots of handy stuff
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=398334923
It's the most popular guide for the collection, so check it out and subscribe if you havent yet
edit: glad my guide helps you guys. please note that it was mostly written before the new emulator was released (which is still buggy and propbably will be replaced in the future), so it mainly covers stuff for the "Simple Launcher" .
edit2: I just noticed this bundle contains nearly all available Mega Drive games for Steam, expcept for these 4: Shadow Dancer: The Secret of Shinobi, Fatal Labyrinth, Decap Attack and Flicky. For some reason exactly these games are not available in the German Steam store, not sure why they were left out in this bundle though.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for the FAQ! I am adding it to my list of favorites.

I'm stuck deciding which ones to get. decisions decisions

So, for someone who has few of these, was the better deal the Summer sale or this?
It looks like each pack was only $1.87 during the sale, which seems like a better deal if you add the cost of them up versus getting multiple 20-game bundles here, but I'm not sure.
Comment has been collapsed.
There probably was a better price at some point, but you have to consider that those packs are pre-selected, so if you wanted Phantasy Star and, I don't know, Alex Kidd you had to purchase two packs and get games you might not even want. I only wanted some Sonic games for the nostalgia, had the 10% voucher from Indie Legends #4 and am happy with what I got for my money. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, you can get practically all of the Sega Classics for about $15 with 5 extra games to give away. That is a big difference between the cost of the 'complete and total' deal of $62. You would just be out the 4 games that are not available in this bundle deal.
Comment has been collapsed.
Right, but the complete deal was around $15 during the Summer sale (and probably will be again during the Winter sale), so it seems about even. This is probably better, because I won't lose any money from duplicate games.

btw the Sega Classics Collection has 58 games. Sonic CD is a separate game.
Comment has been collapsed.
are you talking about SEGA Mega Drive and Genesis Classics on steam? that has 59 doesn't it including Sonic CD
Comment has been collapsed.
Ok then, what is the mysterious game #59? Sonic CD doesn't count, it is not a rom, it is a separate game.
Comment has been collapsed.
The Sega Mega Drive & Genesis Classics is an emulator. It has 58 DLC (=games) . Sonic CD is not a DLC, it is a standalone game in your steam library. In fact it is not even a port from the original Sonic CD from the Mega CD, the steam version is a completely recoded new game, done by some Indy dude, compatible with modern PCs. The Sega Classics collection (the emulator) consists of 58 games.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ahh didn't know they were steam DLC as says they are steam games in the steam store so yeah 58 of them a dlc that come under Sega Mega Drive & Genesis Classics but if you buy the collection on steam you are still getting 59 games, 58 that run as DLC +1 separate game Sonic CD :P
Comment has been collapsed.
You should check amazon.com they have these collections up on sale every now and then for even cheaper
than this bundle (selling steam keys) if I'm not mistaken. I have also seen the complete thing on the indiegala store at some sale for like 15 bucks or so (similar to summer sale?). And still, this bundle is pretty neat and especially great if you miss just a bunch of games.
Comment has been collapsed.
Unfortunately, both the 48-game and 50-game collections that were on super-sale at Amazon about a year ago are no longer available, so unless they bring them back, that deal is done. Maybe you can point to something else that I've missed? They still have CD-ROMs, but I'm looking for the Steam collections.

Got 5 Sonic Games except for Spinball. Good I skipped the Sega bundle from Humble recently, because I saved some money and didn't have to get additional stuff I don't want. Good purchase!
