Gizmondo Europe Ltd, subsidiary of Jacksonville, Florida-based Tiger Telematics Inc., today announced plans for a thumb-bending Sega Classics arcade pack to be released on Gizmondo, having signed letters of intent with Digital Media Cartridge Ltd ("DMC" in the following).
The games being discussed include Sonic the Hedgehog, Outrun, Golden Axe, Altered Beast and Shinobi. These arguably form the foundation on which videogaming was built, and it's true testament that these games are every bit as entertaining as when they first appeared in the arcades.
Each title plays perfectly on the new handheld multi-entertainment device. The pin-sharp screen of the Gizmondo will give this Sega Classics pack a youthful facelift, but the games themselves will be left as nature intended. The game cartridge will be developed and made at DMC's facility in Taiwan.
