Man, Arcade Classics on the Sega Genesis is like digging through a box of old comics—except instead of Spider-Man, you're getting Space Harrier and Fantasy Zone, which honestly might be better. The pixel art still holds up, especially in Sonic, where those loop-de-loops feel just as wild as they did when I was eight.

Some of these games are harder than I remember (looking at you, Altered Beast), but that’s part of the charm. The controls are tight, the music’s still catchy, and yeah, you’ll probably yell at the screen a few times. If you’ve got nostalgia for this era—or just want to see what the fuss was about—this collection’s got your back. Just don’t blame me when you lose track of time.
