As the Sega Genesis turns 30, Amazon has teamed up with Sega to offer Sega Classics, a package of 25 of the most popular Genesis games, on Amazon Fire TV.

The games include Sonic the Hedgehog, Golden Axe, and Streets of Rage. Yes, that means my colleague Mike Minotti can do the Sega scream, “Sega! Sega! Sega!” The collection costs $15.

Golden Axe

To play, customers only need their Fire TV remote – or they can pair a compatible Bluetooth controller to their device. To get started, players simply need to open the Sega Classics app on a Fire TV and start playing. Fifteen of the games support multiplayer, so you can play on the couch with friends and family.
