Even weirder is that these low-tech titles played far better on older hardware, due to more optimised emulation. "iPhone 3GS could play those old apps at a full 60fps while iPhone 6S+ with the new apps cannot," Linneman (Digital Foundry) explained.

"To put it into perspective, Sega had previously released versions of many of these Genesis games on iOS that were emulated. Those could run at 60fps on an iPhone 3GS in 2009. Eight year later and they run worse on much faster hardware due to an un-optimised emulator."

Oh, Sega.

TBF, the state of the controls and gameplay on most Sonic games, I don't see how sticking it on touchscreen will really make much difference.

Well, not having the entire screen free because you have to put your thumbs all over it hurts the entire experience.

Does anybody really want to play Altered Beast that badly in 2017? It was gooseberry fool when it came out and it's gooseberry fool now, why do SEGA keep wheeling it out like it's some stone cold classic? "Wise fwom your gwave"? How about "Weturn to your gwave"?

I can see how they're planning to get people to pay.
I downloaded Phantasy Star II and to use the Save State function you have to sit through a 30 second video advert first.

I've always found sonic and sonic 2 totally playable on the iPad with the touchscreen controls. I've managed to complete both of them. Wouldn't enjoy it in a phone though.
