You can play classic Sega Genesis games with Amazon Fire TV

Just in time for the holidays, Amazon has announced that it's bringing childhood nostalgia to Fire TV with the brand new Sega Classics games bundle.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Sega Genesis, Fire TV customers will get access to 25 Sega Genesis (or Mega Drive if you're in the UK) games that have stood the test of time, including Sonic the Hedgehog, Golden Axe, and Streets of Rage.

If you already have Amazon's Fire TV, you'll be able to play using your Fire TV remote, meaning there's no need to pay for a pricey console or special controller – although you can pair a compatible Bluetooth controller with your Fire TV if you prefer.

Here's the full list of classic games included in the bundle:

Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Sonic CD
The Revenge of Shinobi
Ristar
Golden Axe
Beyond Oasis
Decap Attack
ESWAT: City Under Siege
Street of Rage
Street of Rage II
Street of Rage III
Gunstar Heroes
Dynamite Headdy
Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine
Columns
Bio-Hazard Battle
Comix Zone
Alien Storm
Bonanza Bros
Golden Axe II
Golden Axe III
Gain Ground
Altered Beast
Sonic Spinball

Fun for the family

Sega Classics is available now on Fire TV for £11.99, and the bundle includes 15 multiplayer games, making it a great purchase ahead of Christmas when you'll need to find ways to entertain friends and family.

The launch of the new app follows the news that Sega's highly anticipated Mega Drive Mini console will be delayed until 2019 – but with Fire TV you needn't wait that long to conquer Green Hill Zone all over again.
