SEGA Mega Drive Ultimate Collection Celebrated With A Charity Auction For Starship

The SEGA Mega Drive Collection brings SEGA’s glorious videogame history together in one colossal collection. To celebrate, SEGA New Zealand is holding a charity auction of SEGA Mega Drive memorabilia, including a Limited Edition Vinyl Soundtrack and Sonic the Hedgehog canvas print.

The auction commences today and will be available through Trade Me http://www.trademe.co.nz/Gaming/Other/auction-204017654.htm

All proceeds from the auction will go to Starship.

Gary Russell, Brand Manager for SEGA New Zealand says he is expecting some fierce bidding for the auction. “The Vinyl Soundtrack has been stamped #0002 from a world wide production of only 3,500 which makes it unique and the Sonic the Hedgehog Canvas print has been specially created for this auction, featuring some iconic artwork from the first Sonic Videogame.

“The auction is a great way to help the kids at Starship and also give New Zealanders an opportunity to bid for some unique SEGA memorabilia,” he says.

The SEGA Mega Drive Ultimate Collection is an all-in-one package of over 40 classic titles from the golden era of the SEGA Mega Drive. This is the most complete collection to date of SEGA first party games ever offered. Featured games include; Sonic the Hedgehog 1, 2 and 3, Columns, Alien Storm, Ecco the Dolphin, Space Harrier, and cult classic, Streets of Rage 1, 2 and 3.

The SEGA Mega Drive Ultimate Collection will be available on the Xbox 360® video game entertainment system and PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system. The games in the collection have been reproduced with the utmost detail and accuracy to commend their originals. In addition, SEGA Mega Drive Ultimate Collection can output the games in 720p with higher resolution graphics for HD televisions, bringing a new visual richness to these classic titles.

The SEGA Mega will be available from all Gaming Retailers from the 28th February.

The Trade Me auction featuring the Limited Edition Vinyl Soundtrack and Sonic the Hedgehog canvas print will commence today and will run until Thursday February 26th.

Andrew Young, CEO of the Starship Foundation says he is thrilled to be the recipient charity for the auction. “It’s wonderful to be chosen for this milestone in Sega’s history. The funds raised will help us provide essential equipment and services for kids at Starship.”
