SEGA ARCADE LEGENDS

The Legend

Known as the Genesis in North America, the Mega Drive was launched in
1989 as a follow-up to the Sega Master System. With over 600 titles by
the end of its life cycle, Sega ruled the 16-bit generation by finally bring­ing the arcade experience home. The last Mega Drive system was built
in 1997, but the games live on as true Arcade Legends.

Set Up

The Sega Arcade Legends contains 6 of the most popular games built-in,
with no extra equipment needed.

SOME CONTENT IN THE GAME PLAYERS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO
ACCESS, FOR EXAMPLE THE TWO PLAYER MODE. THIS IS THE
ORIGINAL GAME SOFTWARE AND HAS NOT BEEN ALTERED.

Games Included:

Sonic the Hedgehog

ed Beast

Alter
Golden Axe
Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine
Flicky
Kid Chameleon

IMPORTANT! NOT ALL GAMES WILL WORK IN THE TWO PLAYER

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG

The Legend

In the battle for the 16-bit generation, Sega needed a character that
could take on a certain Italian plumber that had reigned supreme during
the previous generation. They found their mascot in a little blue speed
machine named Sonic the Hedgehog. Release in 1991, Sonic the
Hedgehog was the best selling game of the year and was the defining
game on the Sega Mega Drive.

Dr. Robotnik (Known as Dr. Eggman in Japan, hence his rotund appear­ance), has been transforming all the cute, fuzzy animals into robots and it
is up to Sonic the Hedgehog to fr
must free the animals and stop Dr. Robotnik’s mad schemes.

TERED BEAST

The Legend

Released in 1988 in the arcades, Altered Beast became the launch title
for the Mega Drive. Packed with the system, Altered Beast was the best
arcade to home translation to date and proved that the Mega Drive was a
step above.

Based on Greek Myth, you are a fallen Centurion brought back to life by
Zeus to rescue his daughter Athena from the underworld god, Neff.
Taking on the forms of a Werewolf, Weredragon, Werebear, Weretiger, and
Golden Werewolf, you fight the demons of the underworld till you must
face and destroy Neff.

GOLDEN AXE

The Legend

Released in 1989, Golden Axe was one of the first games released for the
Mega Drive and yet another example of it being able to bring the arcades
home. In addition, the Mega Drive version went beyond the arcades,
adding two more levels much to the delight of fans. Defining the side
scrolling action genre for all the games that followed it, Golden Axe con­tinues to be popular among gamers today.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

TV

To locate your auxiliary channel, which is usually not 3 or 4, but a gaming
channel found mostly found between 2 and 99 (example 2, 1, 0, 99), first
try 00 to see if it is the auxiliary channel. Channels downwards from 3
until a Line 1 or Line 2, Video 1 or Video 2, Front, Aux, AV, etc., appears
on screen, then push the power button on the game and it should auto­matically come on if you have selected the correct channel. If this does
not work, another way to determine your auxiliary channel is to take a
look at your television remote. There may be a button on the remote that
may take you directly to the correct channel. The buttons you are looking
for may be labeled Input, AUX, AV, Line, TV/Video, or Video. If your
remote has one of these buttons, turn your television back to Channel 3

and select that button. The power button on the game should be turned
on in order for the game to appear on the television. If your television
remote does not have any of these buttons, and channel 00 is not work­ing, you may need to search the main menu for a way to determine your
auxiliary channel. If none of these methods have helped you locate your
auxiliary channel, you may need to check your owner's manual and/or
contact a local television repair company.

VCR

When connecting to a VCR, you must first start with a blue background
showing on your television screen. To obtain a blue screen, try inserting
a videotape into the VCR, let it start to play, then hit the stop button. This
may give you a blue screen, then you can channel down to your auxiliary
channel. If the blue screen still does not appear, try entering your TV
and/or VCR main menu and see if it gives you options to select a blue
screen background. Many times if you enter the main menu on your tele­vision you can change the setting from cable to video and display a blue
screen. Also if you have an older television, you may locate a hidden door
on your television that has color, picture, horizontal, vertical, and cable,
antennae buttons. If your television includes this panel, you can select
the antennae/cable button and see the blue screen appears. If you have
tried all of these options and ar
sole, then you may need to check your VCR owner’s manual or contact
the manufacturer to find out how to set up your VCR for console games.

Remember, you can't play our games through a cable box or satellite, so
if you own one of these make sure it is turned off before connecting the
game. You can connect our games through DVD players with the same
connection as a VCR.

If you still have dif
