More Sega Genesis Classics headed your way

More On: Genesis Classics
Do you remember games like Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle, Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, or Elemental Champions? Me either. But these 3 games along with a bunch more are going to be in the next series of Sega's Genesis Classics available for download from Sega.com. I love that games from my youth continue to make their way to current platforms. While I was a Sonic the Hedgehog fan, far and away my favorite Sega game of all time is the Afterburner series. There's almost nothing like that arcade experience, but I still enjoy the console play
