A playthrough of Sega's beat 'em up game for the Sega Genesis, Streets of Rage, as it appeared in the 1992 pack-in title for the Sega CD, Sega Arcade Classics Collection.

Played through as Adam on the normal difficulty level.

I'm using the original 4-in-1 disc here, but the game was also included on the the 1994 5-in-1 version.

There's overall not much difference between the original cartridge game and its "enhanced" Sega CD re-releases, but the collection versions replace all of the digitized voices, grunts, and screams with new samples recorded at much higher quality. It sounds strange - to me they sound wrong because they're almost too clean sounding compared to the Genesis version, and they all tend to be pretty goofy.

I'm not sure why they went to this amount of effort to improve the clarity of the audio when it doesn't seem as if they've touched anything else in the conversion, but I suppose that's alright. It's still Streets of Rage, after all, and it's still excellent.

If you'd like to compare it to the original, here's my recording of the Genesis game: [ Ссылка ]

It's a minor novelty, sure, but one that I felt was worth documenting through this new playthrough.
