Authorised Sega Genesis and Master Drive classics ROM hacks now available on Steam

Sega today advised of authorised ROM hacks for classic Genesis and Mega Drive classics on Steam.

“Steam Workshop functionality is a platform to share the wealth of custom Mega Drive & Genesis ROMs out there and support the highly talented and engaged community of modders behind them,” Sega Community Manager Daniel Sheridan advised on Sega’s blog.

“Now content creators can easily share their custom ROMs with other Mega Drive & Genesis fans giving a new perspective on so many beloved retro titles.”

Examples of the ROM hacks include playing as Knuckles in the original Sonic the Hedgehog, and one where Tim Allen’s weird Home Improvement noise replaces Streets of Rage 2‘s death noise.

Yup.

You can head here to take a look at what’s on offer.

About the author

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
