Great Collection and great games!! But it's incarnations aren't quite right.

I just wanted to say that Sega MD collection is awesome. Now you can play some nice Genesis/Mega Drive games in the palm of your hands like Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and 2, Pantasy Star sequels, Virtua Fighter 2, the entire Golden Axe trilogy including the third one that's only released in Japan. Kid Chamleon, Flicky and more. But the question is, where the heck is Super Hang-On and the Streets of Rage trilogy? Maybe since the game is already rated 12+ (Rated Teen in America by ESRB), Sega decided not to include them. These SOR games are all awesome but too bad they are not in this game. Shadow Dancer was included in the NTSC version of Mega Drive Collection which was known as Genesis Collection. But over here in Europe, it was not included in the PAL region for some reason. The other thing I hate are the sound emulation problems. Some games don't emulate quite right so let me list down some examples:

- When Sonic grabs the speed sneakers in either game, the music's tempo dosen't speed up.
- When you come to the rules screen in Flicky, the music dosen't fade out.
- When you make combos in Columns, it uses the same tone when instead of that tone which goes up and up when you make big combos.
- The Woman enemies in Golden Axe have wrong death screams.
- When Sonic grabs an extra live, the extra life tune does not mute the sound effects from playing and once the tune finishes, rather then fading back, it justs unpauses the music level.
- When Sonic gets an invincbility or an extra live for first time when you play first boot-up either sonic game. Sometimes the music doesn't play for a second.
- Oh yeah I almost forgot, in Ristar, when you grab the bar, it makes this really bizzare sound when it was not used in the actual game.

These problems are not too bad but there may be more. But apart from that great sega collection!! I decided to rank this 9/10 just becuase of the emulaton.
