Sega Puzzle Pack was released for the PC in 1999, and featured three games: Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, Columns III, and Lose Your Marbles!. The tower of a personal computer. ... 1999 is a common year starting on Friday of the Common Era, and was designated the International Year of Older Persons by the United Nations. ... Dr. Robotniks Mean Bean Machine is a modified version of a Japanese puzzle game Puyo Puyo, and set within the Sonic the Hedgehog universe. ...
THQ bills the three games on the SEGA Smash Pack as the "greatest SEGA games together on one cartridge", which would be true if we were back in the 16-bit era.
Now that SEGA is intent on its transition from hardware company to leading publisher of interactive entertainment, we can expect to see more titles from the SEGA stable on the GBA - which shouldn't be a problem as the GBA has a proven track record of comfortably dealing with these 8 and 16 bit conversions.
There is still some enjoyment to be had and if you long for the days when SEGA reigned supreme right up there with Nintendo, then there's probably enough nostalgia in the cart to at least put a smile on your face.
You'd think a 128-bit powerhouse like the Dreamcast would be able to perfectly duplicate the 16-bit Genesis experience and that Sega would be able to emulate its own system with a little more accuracy, but this is definitely far from the case.
Sega Swirl is the same game that has been available for free in magazine and in-store demos for quite some time.
In the end, the extra $20 you have to pay to get a Dreamcast with the Smash Pack disc included could be better spent on other games, especially when you consider the DC's rich budget lineup.
