****************************************************************************

Opening Snide Remarks: This was one of the free games that you received when
you  purchased a Sega CD.  I already owned 2 of the 4 games that were on the
CD.  So, this CD didn't get much playing time.

****************************************************************************

Gameplay Descripion: Sega Classics: Arcade Classics features 4 Genesis games
on 1 CD.  The 4 games are Golden Axe, Columns, Streets of Rage, and The 
Revenge of Shinobi.  I already owned the Genesis versions of Streets of Rage
and Golden Axe.  The versions on this CD are exactly the same as the Genesis
versions.  So I won't go into their gameplay.  Columns is basically a poor
man's Tetris.  It's like Tetris, but you can't turn the tiles.  You can only
rotate the colors contained on the piece.  This is an okay game.  The Revenge
of Shinobi is supposedly a classic, but I can't stand it.  I would much 
rather play Shinobi or Shadow Dancer anyday.        
Liked: 4 games on 1 CD. 
Hated: They're not all that great.

****************************************************************************

Graphics Description: The graphics on this CD are basically what you would
expect from a Genesis.  The games look exactly like their Genesis 
counterparts.  No better, no worse.
Liked: Decent graphics.
Hated: No improvements.

****************************************************************************

Sound/Music Description: The music is exactly like the Genesis versions of 
these games.  It's no better or no worse.  
Liked: Nothing.
Hated: No improvements.

****************************************************************************

Play Control/Game Design: Sega Classics has the same controls as the Genesis
originals.  The game design is okay.  Since this CD was free, it's okay that
there's no enhancements to the original Genesis versions.  
Liked: Good controls.
Hated: No enhancements.

****************************************************************************

Improve: Add some enhancements.

RIYL: The original Genesis versions.

****************************************************************************

Final Words: Since this was a free CD, it's a little tough to criticize it.
If they would have charged money for it, then they would have had to add 
something to it.  Overall, these are great games if you don't already have
the Genesis versions.
