DC Sega Smash pack

[kainemaxwell]

Is this worth getting, outside of the bad sound emulation?

[anagrama]

Hell yeah. Unless you've got all the games already, of course. I thought it was worth the price just for Virtua Cop 2.

Ditto. If you've got light guns, or even just know where you can get some light guns, don't hesitate for a moment to buy this.

[MegaDrive20XX]

I agree, having it just for Virtua Cop 2 is more then enough just to dust off your House of the Dead 2 guns

The best thing about it is Virtua Cop 2..

[goatdan]

I got it as a free pack-in with my system. I was pretty impressed by it, but I can't say I've played it too much. Personally, I couldn't tell the difference on the sound, but I was never really into the Genesis.

[evildead2099]

I thought it was worth the price just for Virtua Cop 2.

As did I. The games are great and play very well. My only complaint is how poorly Sega emulated the Genny's sound processor.

I'll add another "word up" to this chorus. The Genesis emulation is ok. More of a novelty than anything else, but including VC2 sealed the deal for me.

[Vectorman0]

Yeah, it's worth it. Some emulation can be glitchy, but it rarely gets in the way of gameplay.

There are two versions of it too, if you are into that kind of collecting.

What's the difference between the two versions?

Ok, I'm sold, time to find it.

[Captain Wrong]

What's the difference between the two versions?

Pack in and retail. The differece is a "not to be sold" marking, IIRC.

[Famidrive-16]

It's good, I've seen no glitches in graphics/sound myself. Only downside is that you can't save some of the games.

To my knowledge, there is no difference other than the disc printing and the back cover printing.

the genny sound emulation is HORRIBLE. you may think "it cant be that bad" or "it wont get in the way of gameplay", but play it. were talking 2600 sound quality here

[Push Upstairs]

The sound emulation on the "Smash Pack" was so bad that i opted never to buy it.

I tried playing "Streets of Rage 2" but the sound, especially the character FX, were so off and terrible...ugh. Blaze slashing a knife sounded like some shitty 8-bit generic "boo-beep" effect.

But it for the other games but avoid the Genesis games on there.

[Frankie23]

Ditto, yadda, yadda. Virtua Cop 2 is a nice PC port, and while the audio is horrid, it's worthwhile just to own yet another copy of Shining Force.

[InsaneDavid]

I got it as a packin with my Dreamcast as well. The audio is off a bit but it isn't THAT bad. I swear, it's like when people look at games such as the SegaAges2500 remake of OutRun on Sega Classics Collection and go "it looks like a PS1 game!" ..uh... have you really forgotten what PS1 games look like? Same here "it sounds like a freaking 8 bit game!" ..uh, it's not that bad. (although I love the NES and I'm not trying to knock 8 bit gaming)

Besides, there were certian parts of the core of the Smash Pack that the emu community was glad to obtain.

Dled it this morning to try it out before i buy it.

I like it! Feels funny trying to play Sonic or even Virtua Cop 2 with the joystick, so I usually stick to the d-pad with them. Sound is like something from an Atari. Wish there was a way to exit a game and return to the menu without having to restart the DC.

[Daft Punk]

Wish there was a way to exit a game and return to the menu without having to restart the DC.

Youre in luck , Hold l and r and hold all 4 buttons and start and it should bring up the exit menu.

You might have to hit it twice.

[starchildskiss78]

Hell yeah. Unless you've got all the games already, of course. I thought it was worth the price just for Virtua Cop 2.

I agree. And I don't even use a light gun to play it and I still enjoy playing that game. My only thing is that they rehashed some of the same stuff they had on the 6-Pak cartridge for the Genesis. Would have been nice for them to throw in an oddball game or two in there.
