Megadrive Ultimate Collection

Anyone played this? If so how good is the upscaling?

I've got a megadrive with nearly all of the titles listed but it looks utterly dire on my HDTV. Really interested in buying this if it cleans up the image enough. Also, how well do the games play? Generally what are your overall thoughts on it?

I have just bought this for £17, I would buy it personally, it has a lot of great games, and for the price is good value. Upscaling is the pretty good, but it will look a great deal better then megadrive on 1080p. Only annoying fact is on every game you have to set the 16:9 ratio and smoothing option on. It forgets that you have done it. So if it has the games you want, I would purchase it!

Yeah it looks good on an HDTV.

Only thing i've noticed is that in certain games, there almost seems to be a "lag" between the buttons and the screen.

Not sure if it's down to Bluetooth, or the coding, but I find Sonic Spinball borderline unplayable for this reason.

Worth it. You even get the NTSC version of the games so you can play them at full speed as they were originally intended, none of this PAL rubbish!

Only disappointing aspect is the lack of Sonic & Knuckles lock-on feature.
