News:: Sega Forever is poised to be the ultimate retro trip

Nintendo isn't the only company with an extensive back catalog of retro classics. Sega was also hot during the '90s and their portfolio of titles is nearly as ubiquitous with retro gamers as the Big N's. While Sega has never shied away from porting these tiles (how many platforms is Sonic the Hedgehog on?), their newest initiative seems like a bold move to get people playing.

Enter Sega Forever, a push to make the entirety of Sega's back catalog available for free on mobile. I'm sure most of you have tuned out after that word, but Sega promises to bring controller support along with a small fee ($1.99) to eliminate advertisements in each game, should you wish to flat out own them. They are also not limiting the selection of titles to Genesis games, making mention of Dreamcast in the press release (Dreamcast games will be ports instead of emulation).
