It's Sega Wednesday!

Yup, that’s right! Today Microsoft announced that no less than SIX classic Genesis titles are now on Xbox Live Arcade. The games are as follows:

Take it from someone who knows, these games are gold!

Phantasy Star II is known as the second best Phantasy Star title.

Comix Zone is an underappreciated title with amazing artwork.

Gunstar Heroes is a rare shoot-em-up from another great developer, Treasure. Best played with a friend!

Shinobi is the arcade title that started an amazing series of ninja games.

Sonic 3 is the fastest and most colorful Sonic on the Genesis.

Altered Beast is the first game to come out on the Genesis and is a coop classic!

These are going for 400 MS points each. That’s $5 in real money.

For only $5 for these classics with updated graphics, leaderboards, AND online multiplayer, this is practically a steal. Go check em out!
