Now here we are with the latest bundle, SEGA Genesis Classics, collecting 53 little pieces of our childhoods (those of us born in the ‘70s and ‘80s, at least).

May 25, 2018 · The game takes a while to load at first, and the game's interface (set in an old '80s living room with a TV and game shelf) is cute, but annoying to navigate. But it's a collection I'd buy in a ...
