Hey, do you want to play some classic Sega Genesis games on your devices?

(Via Fark Geek) I suspect that this might get some people’s attention.

Sega is launching a new mobile gaming initiative called Sega Forever, the long-lived publisher announced today. Under that banner, the company plans to bring loads of games from all eras of its 30-year history to Android and iOS devices as free-to-play apps. While all the games will share some universal trappings, they will be distinct releases rather than multiple parts of a larger Sega Forever app.

They come with ads, which will cost two bucks per game to remove. They’re also going to be Bluetooth compatible, and Sega is thinking about expanding Sega Forever over to the PC, and at that point pretty much everything else.  Which makes a lot of sense: there’s a bunch of old-school nostalgia titles in their repertoire that people might want to revisit. They’ve already done that pretty thoroughly with Sonic the Hedgehog, but I wouldn’t mind getting a copy of that Mickey Mouse castle game that I thoroughly played on my roommate’s Sega that one year in college. It’d be a hoot.
