Sega Ages 2500 official website open. (Update: impressions included)

That's awesome, FZ deserves it. I'll definately get this when I finally get a PS2...

Thanks for the impressions Sidez. I was hoping Golden Axe would turn out better but at least Fantasy Zone sounds good.

Thanks Sidez. I feared GoldenAxe was going to be shite. It looked horrid from the pics. I'm surprised about SpaceHarrier though.

The easiest way tobeat the last boss on stage 8 is to buy a bunch of heavy bombs and stay at the top left (or right, next to the guy, I can't remember which), and hit those snakes from there with the bombs.

Looping it endlessly? Wow, that's impressive. But anyway, I can't wait to get SH and FZ. I kind of hoped that FZ2 would have been in the game as well, though.

what import shops are carrying these?

Sidez: Thanks for the info! From the way it sounds I am definitely picking up Fantasy Zone and probably Monaco GP. Phantasy Star is a definite maybe, I still have some misguided hope for an English release.

I can't wait to see more of the 3D Ages releases, especially Alex Kidd. ;)

thanks for the info.

i plan to just pick up Fantasy Zone, Space Harrier, and OutRun. i think i might be forgetting one though.

Wow... is that same tired old "Sony is anti-2D" crap still being used by people? I thought that had died by now.

Hey! Stop bringing up logical reasoning!

Ugh, look at those backgrounds. I know the graphics will probably get revised, but that is some ugly shit right there. And the golden axe character sprites looked crap too. Keep in mind this is the same company that did "Shooter Space Shot" on the PS1, and whilst the gameplay can be argued on both sides of OK and shit, the graphics were so fugly as to make it almost unplayable.

Personally, I think that looks GORGEOUS. They should have made the GBA version a remake, and had it look like that.


But as far as the PS2 remake that we're getting, the new Alis / Arisa artwork is from f**king God. It's about time my girl was done up right.

Seeing how PS2 and PS3 are getting the remake treatment, I hope Sega has some grand plans for a remake of PS4 in the future.
