As i was growing up, i was mostly a Sega guy. Played the Master System, the Mega Drive (Genesis for my American friends) and even the Game Gear. Also played the Saturn and the Dreamcast, but that was when everything started to go downhill for Sega. For me, Sega had its gold age when the Mega Drive / Genesis was out.

I bought Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection the other day. Bought it because there isn't anything else coming out now that really interest me. I was a little afraid that i wouldn't enjoy this collection of classic games from Sega because i might have been spoiled by recent generations games. Boy, was i wrong... The minute i started playing games like Alex Kidd, Sonic, Streets of Rage, Altered Beast and many others, my mind was flooded with so many memories of the many afternoons and evenings i spent playing those games with my friends, especially with my cousin Roberto who was like a brother when we were growing up.

I felt good inside when those memories started popping up. In these times where life seems so much hard and less happy, having those memories and feelings was really great. I never thought classic games would have this effect on me.

Thank you Sega, for giving me the opportunity with this collection of games to remember some of the best childhood moments that i had.
