SEGA Mega Drive Classics – or SEGA Genesis Classics for those of you overseas – will now allow you to forget all about 2018 and escape to a virtual world of 90s nostalgia with PlayStation VR. A brand new 268MB patch allows you to play all of the compilation’s 16-bit classics on a 14” portable television, in a room outfitted with skateboards and Sonic the Hedgehog posters.
Alright, so this isn’t really going to add an enormous amount to the experience, but it’s a free patch so we’re not going to criticise it too much. There’s actually a YouTube video of how it all looks in virtual reality through here. We fancy a round of Space Harrier ourselves now.

@Shepherd_Tallon Yep, same!
Neat!
This game just went from a "Meh, I already got the plat on PS3" to "Holy macaroni, I need this now!"
Haha honestly, this looks like a ton of fun. I'll pick it up when it goes on sale!
Cool, but this collection of games needs more patches. Couple of bugs here and there.
At least they bothered to put do a VR patch unlike another company I could name.
Haha this is pretty cool!
Worth mentioning the game is currently on sale.
Its sega genesis.not megadrive.anyways im from ny so Whathever chief.word up son
@playstation1995 it's mega drive, not genesis
@glassmusic I believe it's in the summer sale in the UK. Thinking of biting myself!
Damn this does seem pretty cool
@NintendoFan4Lyf never!
I did notice this had been patched before so I had a go at playing online. Not perfect but a lot better now. Really though, they need to fix the online multiplayer asap.
Sega Mega Drive Classics doesn't show on N.A. PlayStation Store. What's up with that?
Ah. Titled Sega Genesis Classics over here. $30?!? Screw that noise.
Nostalgia is a cold hearted beeyatch.
@NintendoFan4Lyf i know that duh.i play games since 1981 i know this.its that im from new york.we dont call ot master system.word up son
@kyleforrester87 nah sega genesis is the best.im a black American from new york.i never heard of mega drive.word up son
@playstation1995 it was called the Mega Drive in all territories except the USA, both names are correct mate.
@Johnnycide i know that.i dont like megadrive name. Genesis best name ever.new york playa.word up son
@playstation1995 Genesis is a crap name, Mega Drive is infinitely better. Also the US SNES is an ugly machine and the design and colour scheme belong in the garbage.
So cool. All we need now is snes classics psvr 😂
So are the actual games in 3d on the VR kind of like the 3ds sega games, or is the virtual room the only thing in 3d?
@playstation1995 Was born in 82. 😜
Neat addition.
That TV is giving me nostalgia because an old childhood friend of mine had a TV like that for many years and we played so so so many games on that sucker.
Has it been patched so the stuttering issues are now fixed?
This is cool
A bit of a useless feature but neat nonetheless. Reminds me of how I used to play my Sega Genesis and NES, sitting on the floor with my TV propped up on something. Nowadays I've got my gaming rig setup with an HDTV and all the right cables going so the picture looks great, but I still have a small CRTV that I have some old consoles hooked up to, like the Atari 2600. There's a special charm to gaming on a small CRT like that. In fact, I have a Genesis 2 hooked up to that small TV just for this very reason, to experience gaming the way it used to be. I don't use it much but I still love it.
You know what, I change my mind, this is a pretty awesome patch!
@ZeroAbbadon Let's watch the language please.
And to be honest Genesis is a way better name. Mega Drive sounds like a drive for a PC or something not a game console.
@Tasuki But it has the word 'Mega' in it so it must be good, right?
By the way this is 17 quid on Amazon in the UK presently.

I think this is a great idea! I’d love to try it out if I had VR. In fact I’d just love to try out VR full stop. This reminds me, I still need to get a Mega Drive and the Mega Everdrive for my retro gaming setup. It’s currently biased towards Nintendo and Playstation, it needs some SEGA love.
