All you need to do is register, however the first pack is "sold out" so all there is, is the Sonic pack.

If it doesn't work try using a UK proxy.

[Flak]

Cool I may get some.

[Meller Yeller]

Fuck I can't because of my geographical location :saddowns:

MY MERGEE!

[MarkG06]

It's not like they're particularly good games anyway so you're not missing out on much.

[Flak]

I like Sonic though. :frown:

[Meller Yeller]

First pack is so much better than the second. No wonder it's already sold out.

[Mercantoria]

Fuck this site for taunting me with my childhood for free then telling me I live in the wrong region.

[xianlee]

The download manager is epicly shit, once you start the download you can't quit or all the download progress will be lost, I tried downloading alpha protocol 2 times and because my internet goes slow at peak i still haven't managed to download it

[Vashzaron]

Works in UK only I'm guessing? (Maybe EU too?)

Well worked for me so thanks OP.

Son of a bitch, can't they tell you that before you fill out the entire sign up form?

[Legolas]

[QUOTE=Benlecyborg;30008996]Dixons has one too, I got mine from there.[/QUOTE]
Dixons is IP locked too it seems :saddowns:

I don't see why it matters if you download them and they aren't shipped

[DrKoeniginator]

there was a /v/ thread yesterday about dixon's having one of these kind of things.
to get the better pack you had to jump through a bunch of hoops though, was a pain in the ass

[red_rizer36]

Alpha Protocol FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

[Lewdis]

Oh, some sonic games okay

Wait, Megadrive collection... thats the one that had

:flashfap: COMIX ZONE

[editline]23rd May 2011[/editline]

I love you guys for showing me this, I loved comix zone.

[Sergeant Dornan]

If I use the UK proxy does it matter what info I put in?

[Epic Sandwich]

[QUOTE=Benlecyborg;30008996]Dixons has one too, I got mine from there.[/QUOTE]

Both Dixons and PC World are owned by the same group.

[Protocol7]

I can vouch for Alpha Protocol being a good game... if anyone wants to buy it since clearly it's sold out.

[Mingebox]

[QUOTE=FlakTheMighty;30008924]I like Sonic though. :frown:[/QUOTE]

My condolences.

[Smas]

Well, I guess I don't get any free games... Most of those sonic games aren't bad at all (Megadrive collection, Sonic 1-2). Can't vouch for that racing game though...

[Massaki]

Awesome! Sega All Stars Racing, this game is actually pretty good. Been wanting to get it for a while, but now I can save my money, thanks man.

[Phyxius]

Great find, OP!

[editline]23rd May 2011[/editline]

And proxy that works:

For all us non-UK-ers, just enter your information and a valid Postcode, Choose UK as your country, and submit. Then login from a non-proxy'd web browser and you're good.

[The_Marine]

Don't know what you guys are crying about.
I'm stoked for that Megadrive Collection, been wanting to get the games on Steam for awhile but never got around to it.

And I heard that SEGA Racing game is actually pretty decent so there's that too.

Worked for me as well.

SASASR is decent sure, but not so much on PC. Bad Console port and the fact they removed online features out of it.

Though this hasn't to do with the game I feel like sharing, the Sumo devs were quite the dicks in my opinion. They waited around 2 weeks before release to announce the PC version wouldn't have online when it was stated long ago on the steam page it would have and the response to why was basically "PC version expected sales are too low for bothering implementing online for it." and they said something about them expecting piracy to as why the sales would be low. Congratulations, now the pirates have nothing to lose by pirating and removing features obviously causes even lower sales.

But hey for the people who are getting it free, no need to complain.

And just on promos like this I already got 12 games on that Genesis Classics emulator-program-thing
