Ok, so sega are now running this awesome site, where you get to play old sega titles. Titles range from Sonic to Strets of Rage. You have to sign up and VIP titles are only available to paying subscribers, but you can have a 10 day VIP trial for zero duku.

Personally I'll be trying Shinobi 3 first, never played that.

Also the are 2 level editors, for Sonic and Stuntmaster MotoCross 2. You can create, Share and play other peoples levels. How cool is that? And there was a offer where if you pay for 3 months subs (£12.99) you get a free Saturn USB controller! http://www.playsega.co.uk/info/?action=whatIsPlaySEGAVIP Don't know if thats still on offer though.

Anyway I'm hoping they add Baku Baku Animal as thats awesome.

*EDIT*

After posting, I realised I sounded like I'm advertising the site. So, just to let you know, an adbot has not hacked my account!

The thing is, Sega has released multiple game collections with these games, plus, well, they are Master Drive/Genesis games... these aren't hard to get a copy of (cough cough roms cough).

I know there's more to the site, but it's hard to get excited about playing old games, when those old games have been WIDELY available for years and years. I'd be more excited about sites like http://www.gog.com/en/frontpage/ that let you buy working, Vista/XP compatible copies of old PC games that often don't work correctly on new hardware.
WHY SO SERIOUS HAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA

I see your point, but 10 days are free and a full 3 month sub is 12.99 and comes with a saturn pad, which makes it worthwile for me. Plus, as you said, there is more to the site.
