After Nintendo reignited a sense of nostalgia for retro gamers around the globe by bringing back several popular titles, its long-time nemesis Sega is now doing the same.
The Tokyo-based video game developer announced the release of SEGA Forever—an umbrella app that will offer classic games from Master System, Genesis/Mega Drive and Dreamcast.
The free-to-play apps launched on both iOS and Android this week, and will feature games including: Altered Beast, Comix Zone, Kid Chameleon, Phantasy Star II and Sonic The Hedgehog.
Although not all titles will be made available at once -Sonic is first up for grabs - SEGA promised to release a new game every two weeks.
Each game will be faithful to the original by keeping the default difficulty of levels and aids.
Games can be played via a portable device's touchscreen or by a controller and the firm said it would eventually add a multiplayer option to many of the games.
Although games are free and playable offlline, they are ad-supported. (£1.99 to turn off the ads)
Sonic the Hedgehog is available now via the Apple and Android app stores.
