They s by out a tweet saying some of heir games will be rolling out starting today. I believe four games today. I am confused though. I thought it was a streaming service. Like you pay something every month and get access to a growing library of sega games? Either way I am happy to get some more sega games on my tablet for sure. Edit: HOLY $&@" they are releasing Phantasy Star II and Kid Chameleon!! Those games are so great. I hope PSII is out today. metalcasket Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze May 24, 2010 11,065 1,342 113 Deepest Circle, Hel #6 metalcasket, Jun 21, 2017 Nah it's not a streaming service. They're just releasing a ton of classics on a monthly basis for free (with the ability to disable non-SEGA ads). And yes...Phantasy Star II is out tomorrow. Jean pierre Well-Known Member Mar 24, 2017 320 2 18 #7 Jean pierre, Jun 21, 2017 not available in French app store. very strange because the version 2 has been removed from French app store (IDK when). is it a premium game ? sobriquet Well-Known Member Patreon Bronze Jul 30, 2015 1,216 1 38 #8 sobriquet, Jun 21, 2017 I think this is a link to the original Sonic 1 that has been pulled from the AppStore. Making this a duplicate thread. If Sonic 1 is part of the Sonic Forever releases, it's not in the AppStore yet.

Jean pierre Well-Known Member Mar 24, 2017 320 2 18 #16 Jean pierre, Jun 21, 2017 This version 3 just came to the French app store. The ipa file name is Sonic 1 2.1.26 (very strange for a v3) So, without surprise they just updated the previous version whic was premium and turned it into a f2p with IAPs. Sad news for (some of) the first buyers. Hopfully I kept the previous ipa file (Sonic 1 2.1.21) SEGA FOR EVER ? wizisi2k Member Jun 10, 2016 20 1 3 #17 wizisi2k, Jun 21, 2017 I did an update to my version. I would expect prior buyers to have an ad-free experience. When I went to restore, it timed out Boardumb Administrator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Apr 14, 2009 8,964 869 113 THE BOSS Sacramento, CA #18 Boardumb, Jun 21, 2017 Same with me, but it DID let me buy a brand new ad-removal lol. Anyway, pretty much this same thing happened with Sonic CD some months ago, and eventually Sega put out an update to fix it. I'd imagine they'll do the same here too but for now any previous owners who updated will likely be stuck with ads until they fix it unless they fork over another two bucks. Jean pierre Well-Known Member Mar 24, 2017 320 2 18 #19 Jean pierre, Jun 21, 2017 Cannot be a coincidence lol LethalX08 Active Member Apr 16, 2015 41 0 6 United Kingdom #20 LethalX08, Jun 21, 2017 I got the bot to make this when i noticed there wasn't a topic for the updated app as i was going to say it's been removed but then SEGA announced SEGA Forever so i held off incase this specific app got updated & returned to the store, it did so eh atleast we have a topic fot the game now #.
