Just purchased the SEGA 5-game pack @ Software Etc for $37.99. Of the five
games, FOUR would boot and run on the A-3000. The loser, Shinobi, would only
run on my A-1000; no great loss considering Shinobi was the worst port of
the lot. OutRun would lock up if you hit a key on the keyboard, but
otherwise runs.

3 of the five (especially Alien Syndrome) are fairly well done. Shinobi and
one flying game (forget the name) are a waste of time. Too bad, I really
liked the arcade version of Shinobi.
