I owned these games on Sega Genesis back in the day, and I have nothing bad to say about them; they're great games. Having said that, charging $20 for two games that are now almost thirty years old is just patently absurd, and typical, of Disney (they're still charging ~$30 a piece for these movies.) If you really want to play these games, save your money and download an emulator and the ROMs.
These were fun games back in the day, but considering that they are almost thirty years old now, and that an emulator and the ROMs can be had for free, I don't see why anyone would spend $15 on this. Hell, you can get 50 Genesis titles (good ones even) on Xbox for only $10 more. Besides, these were originally SNES/Genesis titles to begin with--why are the recommended specs so high? Twenty years ago, I emulated these games on a Pentium 233 with a 16mb video card and even then, that was overkill. Seems like a shameless, nostalgia cash grab.
If the central theme of this game is anti-capitalism, then why is it fifteen bucks--shouldn't it be free?
There's not much that I can say about New Vegas that hasn't already been said. IMO it's the best of the first-person Fallout games. It's got an interesting, branching storyline, memorable characters, a lot of references and lore evolving from the first two Fallout games, and I'm especially a fan of what I call the "Courier Trilogy" which unfolds through the expansion packs; a story that I personally found more intriguing than the main storyline. I'd give this game a five-star review except that a decade after its initial release, it's STILL plagued by some all-to-familiar stability issues which make it frustrating for me to completely enjoy. The worst of them is whenever I try to load a saved game; I've found there's roughly a 20% chance of success. The other 80% of the time, it hangs on the loading screen. Adding insult to frustration, is that the Task Manager won't pull up, so the only way to get out of the game is to force log out with Ctrl-Alt-Del, log back in, and try again--and again, and again, and again. Even after it loads, there's more than a decent chance that I'll go through a door, and rather than loading the next area, the game will just quit, forcing me through the whole routine again. I suppose if you like all the gambling aspects of Fallout: New Vegas, these bugs could add charm to your experience. But I find them unforgivable considering that they're the same bugs I experienced when I played this on Xbox 360, ten years ago, and they're the same bugs I've experienced in every Bethesda release since Morrowind. I'll digress, since I'm not the first, nor will I be the last, to have these grievances. If you've never played Fallout: New Vegas, I highly recommend it for its more canonical writing and art direction--compared to Fallout 3 and 4--as well as mature, and appropriately morose, narrative and humor. Just be prepared for technical difficulties.
