Truly, there are more active gamers in the world today than at any other time in the history of our
beloved pastime. And while many claim to know what gaming is all about, most have just
recently jumped on the bandwagon of the world’s most dynamic form of entertainment. Thus, in
the new realm of online gaming, 128-bit processors, true 3D graphics, and blazing frame rates,
we often find ourselves missing something. Strangely, that “something” can be hard to identify
or describe. The games of today are undoubtedly brilliant works of art created through a
combination of ridiculously long hours, daily dedication, and teams of highly skilled artists,
designers, programmers, and producers, but amid all this advancement, things are sometimes
forgotten. Sega, always eager to push the envelope of technology and creativity, has made great
strides over the years to accomplish one invariable goal: to produce the highest quality video
entertainment the world over.

Within this collection of games, you will bear witness to this goal as evidenced by the
numerous game titles that exist on this one disc. For those of you already familiar with these
remarkable titles, you’ll likely recognize that the “something” missing in many of today’s games
can be found in spades within this collection. And for those of you new to these classics, you’re
in for an even more profound experience: the discovery of gaming’s true essence: the undeniable
satisfaction that goes along with finely-tuned gameplay, brilliant game design, and visionary
characters. Welcome to the first installment of Sega’s Smash Pack series: games that play
as well today as the first day they were released to the public, games that make gamers
proud to be gamers—profound games that instantly remind us why we ever started playing
games in the first place.

Thank you for purchasing Sega Smash Pack, Vol. 1.

Bust the video game speed barrier wide open with Sonic the Hedgehog. Blaze by in a
blur using the super sonic spin attack. Loop the loop by defying gravity. Plummet down
tunnels. Then dash to safety with Sonic’s Power Sneakers. All at a frenzied pace.

Help Sonic escape bubbling molten lava. Swim through turbulent waterfalls. Scale
glistening green mountains. And soar past shimmering city lights. There’s even a 360
rotating maze. You’ve never seen anything like it!

Sonic has an attitude that just won’t quit. He’s flip and funny, yet tough as nails as he
fights to free his friends from evil. So just wait. Sonic may be the world’s next SUPER hero . . .

It is the time of gods and myths and legends. When men are warriors and courageously
fought unnatural enemies in the endless battle of good against evil. It is the time of the
Altered Beast. Summoned by Zeus, God of Thunder, you have been awakened from the
dead to challenge the wicked Neff, God of the Underworld, for the fate of Athena. And
Athena is no ordinary girl. She is the daughter of Zeus and must take her rightful place
among the gods if only you can free her from her imprisonment.

Although you were once a brave and awesome Roman Centurion, the rigors of this journey
demand a supernatural display of strength. And so you are bestowed with the powers of
the Altered Beast. The power to transform your being into a part animal, part human
creature of formidable force. But to achieve this rare form of vitality you must earn it.

By conquering foes and capturing spirit balls, you’ll muster the energy to transmute from
one beast to another. And each time you do, you’ll advance one round closer to the realm
of the underworld where Neff awaits the final confrontation. With five complete rounds to
clear, the number of underlings you must defeat is staggering. But Neff promises to be the
most loathsome enemy yet, so prepare yourself for the worst. And remember, Zeus didn’t
bring you back from the grave to fail!
