      surpricingly I have all thesse game i must have bought them a very long tiem ago. did even know I had them.

  • Everettpsycho on 14/06/2025 - 06:11

    Anyone know what regions these are available in? I've got multiple Google accounts and can't seem to get any of them except crazy taxi across those regions.

    • Wackojacko99 on 14/06/2025 - 06:31

      All working fine for me on my aussie account. Not sure why you're having issues unless you have an older version of Android / phone that's not compatible.

      • Lucille Bluth on 14/06/2025 - 10:18

        Some people don't have Aussie Google accounts. E.g. my payment profile is set to Turkey so I can get cheap subs. Maybe the games are not available in certain markets.

        • Everettpsycho on 14/06/2025 - 10:46

          Weird as guys on cheapies are able to get these on their NZ accounts which one of mine is. Will do some digging tonight to see if there's a worm around to make them show up.

    • Everettpsycho on 14/06/2025 - 13:08

      Somehow my NZ account ended up in Ukraine, no idea how that happened. Resetting the payments profile resolved my issues on the account though.

    I remember seeing Virtua Tennis being demoed for Dreamcast and thought it looked like an actual TV broadcast 😂.

    • PainToad on 14/06/2025 - 07:46

      Lots of Dreamcast games still look better than Pokemon games on Switch tbh.

      The Sonic Adventure trailer when the camera switched and the whale started chasing Sonic blew my mind.

      • smartazz104 on 17/06/2025 - 07:58

        Lots of Megadrive games still look better than Pokemon games on Switch tbh.

    • Pootie Tang on 14/06/2025 - 11:17

      That was more true for the NFL2K games.

      Mind-blowing graphics, animations and play by play

      Virtual tennis was no slouch though

      I remember seeing Sega Rally at a game shop when the Dreamcast first came out. Was absolutely stunning compared to anything I’d seen on a N64 or PS.

    • mubd1234 on 20/06/2025 - 08:48

      Before HDTV was commonplace it was easier to fool yourself.

      I played Virtua Tennis recently and despite there only being five blocky polygons visible on screen it still plays better than any tennis game I've played on PS5.

      When you launch the game it says support is dropped and no ads.

    This version of Crazy Taxi contains the original soundtrack (i.e. the Green Day one). I think most other modern versions have replaced this.

        You’re right!

        It was Offspring.. but they took out their music after their licence was expired and replaced it with other crap music instead..

    Why aren't these enabled on the Google tv store? I swear the reason Google's good projects fail is by pure neglect.

    • mskeggs on 14/06/2025 - 09:42

      Because google is giving bonuses for stuffing ai in everything so if you spend a moment not doing that you risk missing your bonus, and you manager risks missing theirs, all up the tree.
      They have become the worst, short sighted, quarter by quarter managed company where the only customer that matters is today's stock price.

  • alcadive on 14/06/2025 - 08:28

    • Wip3out on 14/06/2025 - 09:17

      Using the Play Store app, select install and then cancel the download straight away. Will still be added to your 'Not Installed' apps.

  • TheDukeOfNukem on 14/06/2025 - 08:48

    Bought Crazy Taxi over a decade ago.

    Then they made it no longer work on newer android versions.

    Then they refused to unlock the ads for me.

    Now I'm back to where I was ten years ago finally. Thanks sega! Ya ya ya ya ya!

    • TEER3X on 14/06/2025 - 11:15

      Soundtrack suits the game and adds to the enjoyment

  • BargainsGrabber on 14/06/2025 - 09:12

    Wow had Crazy Taxi back in 2002 on my Dreamcast. But all these games are still good to play all these years later.

    Thank you. I grabbed Golden Axe, my childhood favourite

  • Clear on 14/06/2025 - 09:25

    Remember the cheats to get the rickshaw? That was the best.

    • guidedlight on 14/06/2025 - 09:49

      Go to “Help & Options” > “Special”. Then complete all the challenges to unlock the Richshaw.

    • mapax on 14/06/2025 - 11:40

      I don’t remember, but I also don’t know which game you’re referring to.

      • Clear on 14/06/2025 - 12:08

        Million dollar question

        • mapax on 14/06/2025 - 12:26

          I just looked it up, it’s crazy taxi.
          I’m thinking of a fighting game that had a rickshaw or maybe fruit cart that would randomly turn up in it and you could kick it. I think, but I could be imagining it.

  • 5cooter on 14/06/2025 - 09:39

    They still show as "contains ads". Is that just a hang over?

        If I remember correctly, the xx devices are Linux based so you might be limited to playing them via emulation. The 406h is Android-based and has access to the Play Store.

    Sonic the Hedgehog Classic and 2 Classic is also free. It wasn't listed in this deal but those two games are actually showing for free.

      Once you go in the free version says ad supported. So maybe not free (and ad free) like those posted.

      • hollykryten on 14/06/2025 - 11:48
        +1

        Yes i found that out also afterwards. To get rid of the ads if you don't like you need to buy and upgrade it to the Premium version through the game for $2.99. Otherwise the ad supported game is free to play. There's just some advertisements.

    • [Deactivated] on 14/06/2025 - 13:17
      +2

      It's not the same. These still have ads.

    • PainToad on 14/06/2025 - 14:25

      Reminder that emulators are now allowed on the AppStore. So just instal one and play any Megadrive game you want without ads.

  • lordezekiel on 14/06/2025 - 11:34

    Weird that every game except Sonic The Hedgehog 2 is supported on my ancient Google Nexus 10 tablet.

    • hollykryten on 14/06/2025 - 11:58

      Sonic The Hedgehog 2 needs Android 6 or higher to be able to be installed. Google Nexus 10 Tablet only got an upgrade to Android 5.1 so it's not supported. That tablet is so ancient.

      • lordezekiel on 14/06/2025 - 12:20

        Yes but why did all the other posted games install on it?
        Obviously the tablet can play a game from 1992 lol

        • hollykryten on 14/06/2025 - 14:09
          -2

          Because Sonic the Hedgehog Classic supports Android 5 or higher so that's why it ran on your tablet with Android 5.1. But Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Classic requires Android 6 or higher (it probably requres some thing in Android 6 which Android 5 doesn't have). And all the other games just needed Android 5 or higher. It's as simple as that. Your old tablet is so old that it doesn't even have Android 6 which is the requirement for that one game. So no Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on that tablet.
