I don’t care how nostalgic it makes people feel —Altered Beastis bloody terrible. It’s possibly one of the worst beat ’em ups ever conceived, and as if to rub that in the faces of those who don’t know any better, Sega expects you to unlock it inSonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection. That’s just cruel.

There are a number of unlockable games in Sega’s latest Genesis compilation, none of which are actually Genesis titles. Instead, the unlockables are from the Master System or Arcade. Since I know you’re all eager as blimmin’ heck to know what they are, here’s a list of achievable games:
