Sega Unveils Sega Forever
Sega teased a couple of weeks ago that it would be bringing its classic games to mobile for free soon. Recently, we just received an additional update that announces the start of the "Sega Forever" initiative. As of yesterday, gamers on mobile can download a number of Sega Genesis titles completely for free. The catch, however, is that the free version includes advertisements after completing levels or starting the game. In order to get an advertisement-free version, you can pay $2.99 USD. The initial line-up currently available includes:

Sonic the Hedgehog
Altered Beast
Phantasy Star II
Kid Chameleon
Comix Zone

Sega has promised to roll out every two weeks additional titles coming from "nearly every Sega game ever released from every console era." The games will allow you to save via cloud, will include leaderboards and Bluetooth controller support. The initiative definitely seems to be very ambitious.

    Sounds pretty cool….but why phones? Why not on every console too? Because of an always-online requirement?

      I agree. I’d rather this coming to consoles. At least their are on phones that most people own. Perhaps Sega might acquire legions of new fans for their old franchises.
