It will do so through the Sega Forever collection , a brand with which the company of the blue hedgehog hopes to take players on a trip through the time that will run through the eighties and nineties . «Above all, SEGA Forever is a celebration of nostalgia. It's about allowing fans to reconnect with past experiences and share them with their family and friends in an accessible and practical way, "explains Mike Evans, CMO of SEGA's mobile division in the West.

   The intention of the company is to offer both sales successes and those cult games that delighted the players. The first batch is made up of five Mega Drive games - 'Sonic the Hedgehog', 'Phantasy Star II', 'Comix Zone', 'Kid Chamaleon' and 'Altered Beast 1988' - but according to the press release the list will go expanding week to week and month to month and will travel "all the eras of the Sega consoles".
