I was so shocked when I saw Sega release these games on iPhone and they turned out to be just as playable and lovable as the originals.

The ads by now are expected due to the amount of Sega classic ports Ive played on my phone, so I was not fazed by those but others will if this is their first classic Sega port.

Dont get me wrong, this game port was superb overall, but a patch here or there could make me give a Insant.

I owned a lot of Sega iPhone games and with most of them if you purchased it before they would let you continue to have the ad-free experience.

I have two issues.

I actually purchased Shining Force before and under this new collection, the app did not recognize it as a previous purchase.

I could technically try to repurchase it and it may recognize it but Im not sure and wouldnt want to waste money.

My biggest issue is that I wrote to Sega years ago begging for Shining Force 2 on iPhone.

They wrote me back saying that they appreciate my enthusiasm but had no plans at the time which is fine.

I never played Shining Force 1 until I bought it on iPhone and I always heard that 2 is a much better game.

It was just out of morbid curiosity that I decided to look at Shining Force out of nostalgia and the 2 is included.

Of course I instantly purchased it and cant wait to start playing but it would have been nice to have known that this game was available.

They lure you in with a free game, but then spring the fact that you have to watch numerous advertisements, including every time you boot up or save the game.

Sega used to offer a paid version of the original game that was fantastic, but they removed it from the store so they could gyp money from misguided fans with their advertising.
