Sega Classics for the GBA!

[OB1]

From Ign Pocket

January 07, 2003 - Over the holiday break, THQ announced that it will be bringing a compilation of four classic Sega arcade games to the Game Boy Advance. Sega Arcade Gallery features conversions of classics from Sega designer Yu Suzuki: Out Run, Space Harrier, Super Hang On, and Afterburner.
Out Run features a fast-paced race across the country in a Ferarri, with players weaving through busy traffic in order to beat the clock. Super Hang On is a speedier version of the classic motorcycle racing game that appeared in Sega's Shen Mue adventure on the Dreamcast. Space Harrier is one of the first 3D shooters to market, putting players in the role of a hovering action-type dude who blasts through different fantasy areas. And Afterburner is Top Gun-style action where players must blast their way through enemy territory in their F-14, avoiding incoming enemy fire with barrel rolls and maximum throttle.

The game was originally scheduled to ship this spring, but THQ recently pushed the release date way later in the year; this game won't hit the market until at least October 2003. That's a long time to wait for some great arcade action on the Game Boy Advance. While you sit tight, hit the link below to take a look at how great the games look on the GBA hardware.
