Enhanced versions of four of the best loved SEGA Dreamcast games are on their way, in one package, to the PC and Xbox 360

Yay! Crazy Taxi and many more are amongst the latest retro collection from SEGA.  This one is all about bundling former SEGA Dreamcast fun, enhancing it for today's technology and letting them loose on the PC and Xbox 360 platforms.

Here are the details: SEGA® Europe Ltd. and SEGA® of America, Inc. today announced that a packaged compilation of  classic titles from  SEGA's  popular Dreamcastâ„¢  console will hit retail shelves on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, and the PC. The Dreamcast Collection will be available on February 25th 2011 in Europe and February 22nd in North America, February 24th in Australia and February 25th in New Zealand.

The Dreamcast Collection includes the fan favourites Sonic Adventureâ„¢, Crazy Taxiâ„¢, SEGA Bass Fishingâ„¢ and Space Channel 5â„¢: Part 2.  Players will get to enjoy four very different Dreamcast experiences, from hopping behind the steering wheel of Crazy Taxi, to taking things a little slower by luring in their fish before catching them hook, line and sinker with SEGA Bass Fishing. Alternatively, take over as intergalactic news reporter Ulala in Space Channel 5: Part 2 and dance your way past the evil Rhythm Rogues, or make it all about speed in Sonic's first Dreamcast outing, Sonic Adventure!

SEGA's Dreamcast Collection features enhanced graphics for both platforms versions, providing an even more engaging experience. In addition to this, achievements and online leader boards will be available for each game providing a competitive edge and allowing players to prove their skills!

'The Dreamcast console is still remembered as a pioneering console for online gaming,' commented Gary Knight, VP of Marketing at SEGA of America and SEGA Europe 'We are delighted to be able to offer to our large community of dedicated fans a collection such as Dreamcast Collection for them to enjoy old favourites on this generation of consoles'.

Dreamcast Collection will be available in Europe in February 2011 for Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PC and PC digital download.
