Sega is continuously releasing images from SEGA Mega Drive Ultimate Collection, to be released on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 on the 20th of February. This time they are from a bunch of different games, like Alien Syndrome, Shinobi, Space Harrier and Fantasy Zone.

p.s. I WANT PIXELS!!!
As for emulation, Ive tried a lot of emulation and I just cant get into it. Sure the games are better looking than the original and you can get versions from the arcade, but its missing something special that I just cant place my finger on. I guess I just hate playing console games on a PC. Even on console or psp emulators its just not as fun as the original game was. Dont even really know how to explain it, guess I just like to own things.
The US never had any of these games on the Genesis.
I'm thinking the color pallette looks a bit high for these to be on that system anyway, so they are probably the coin-ops but it's hard to tell with that nasty filter.

However, I don't remember Shinobi coming out on the MD when I owned one. AFAIK it went Revenge of Shinobi, Shadow Dancer, Super Shinobi 2 then it moved to the Saturn. I wonder if some of these are from the Sega Ages collections.
The last two look like Arcade machines.
I know that one of the reasons why Golden Axe on Xbox live arcade was the MD version was that Sega lost the source code. Though if you emulate it doesn't matter. I would much rather have the arcade title where they can.
Edit - By the Power of Wikipedia it says that Shinobi and Space Harrier are arcade conversions! Which makes what I said before rubbish, so why are we getting the crappy Golden Axe and Alien Storm versions! :(

The only version of Alien Syndrome we ever had was the Master System though.
I probably would have leaped naked onto a Arcade-Genny version.
At least the MegaDrive version of Golden Axe is somewhat competent, and features more levels than the arcade.
But still...
cant wait
