SEGA ARCADE LEGENDS
The Legend
Known as the Mega Drive in Japan and Europe, the Genesis was
launched in 1989 as a follow-up to the Sega Master System. With over
600 titles by the end of its life cycle, Sega ruled the 16-bit generation by
finally bringing the arcade experience home. The last Genesis system
was built in 1997, but the games live on as true Arcade Legends.
Set Up
The Sega Arcade Legends contains 6 of the most popular games built-in,
with no extra equipment needed.
SOME CONTENT IN THE GAME PLAYERS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO
ACCESS, FOR EXAMPLE THE TWO PLAYER MODE. THIS IS THE
ORIGINAL GAME SOFTWARE AND HAS NOT BEEN ALTERED.
Games Included:
Sonic the Hedgehog
Altered Beast
Golden Axe
Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine
Flicky
Kid Chameleon
IMPORTANT! NOT ALL GAMES WILL WORK IN THE TWO PLAYER
MODE. A MESSAGE WITH “TWO PLAYER” MODE WILL APPEAR ON
THE STARTUP SCREEN BUT WILL ONLY RESPOND FOR THE “KID
CHAMELEON” GAME. THIS IS A CARRY OVER FROM THE ORIGI-
NAL GAME SOFTWARE.

work best.
2. Plug the Arcade Legends into the AV jacks on TV matching the color
of the jack to the cord.

4. A menu screen should load. Highlight the game you wish to play and
press “Start”
5. Follow the instructions of the individual games
SONIC THE HEDGEHOG
The Legend
In the battle for the 16-bit generation, Sega needed a character that
could take on a certain Italian plumber that had reigned supreme during
the previous generation. They found their mascot in a little blue speed
machine named Sonic the Hedgehog. Release in 1991, Sonic the
Hedgehog was the best selling game of the year and was the defining
game on the Sega Genesis.
Dr. Robotnik (Known as Dr. Eggman in Japan, hence his rotund appear-
ance), has been transforming all the cute, fuzzy animals into robots and it
is up to Sonic the Hedgehog to free them. Running stage to stage, he
must free the animals and stop Dr. Robotnik’s mad schemes.

Rings
Along the way, Sonic will uncover secrets and surprises, as well as Rings,
which keep him alive. As long as Sonic has at least one Ring, he will only
lose his rings when hit. If Sonic has no rings, being hit will cause the
player to lose a life.
Lampposts
Every Zone has Lampposts placed at specific points. By touching the
Lamppost, your current score and time are recorded. If you die, you will
continue your game at the lamppost instead of at the start of the level.
ALTERED BEAST
The Legend
Released in 1988 in the arcades, Altered Beast became the launch title
for the Genesis. Packed with the system, Altered Beast was the best
arcade to home translation to date and proved that the Genesis was a
step above.
Based on Greek Myth, you are a fallen Centurion brought back to life by
Zeus to rescue his daughter Athena from the underworld god, Neff.
Taking on the forms of a Werewolf, Weredragon, Werebear, Weretiger, and
Golden Werewolf, you fight the demons of the underworld till you must
face and destroy Neff.

GOLDEN AXE
The Legend
Released in 1989, Golden Axe was one of the first games released for the
Genesis and yet another example of it being able to bring the arcades
home. In addition, the Genesis version went beyond the arcades, adding
two more levels much to the delight of fans. Defining the side scrolling
action genre for all the games that followed it, Golden Axe continues to
be popular among gamers today.
The evil Death Adder has murdered your family and brought terror to the
entire land. Choose between the Warrior, Dwarf, or Amazon, and fight
hordes of enemies all the way to the final confrontation. Find magic pots
