Amazon Fire TV is a device that offers endless possibilities to its users.

With this, the package represents the most accessible way to play retro games on your TV without the need for specific gaming hardware.

Amazon FIre TV receives the best Sega Genesis games

It's a pretty juicy collection, and while there aren't many surprises, there are some really cool games that still hold up, like the Streets of Rage and Comix Zone trilogy. Three of Sonic's games are actually remastered versions, while the rest are more traditional retro titles. They are all grouped into a single application on Fire TV. The complete list includes the following games:

• Alien Storm Altered Beast Beyond Oasis Bio-Hazard Battle Bonanza Bros Columns Comix Zone Decap Attack Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine Dynamite Headdy ESWAT: City Under Siege Gain Ground Golden Ax Golden Ax II Golden Ax III Gunstar Heroes Ristar Sonic CD Sonic Spinball Sonic the Hedgehog Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Street of Rage Street of Rage II Street of Rage III The Revenge of Shinobi

The menu is pretty simple, it lets you filter games by genre, and there are a handful of visual tweaks too. You can choose to display games in standard 4: 3, or "pixel perfect" mode, which offers a smaller but sharper image. Customization options also extend to the game. You can rewind a game for a few seconds to redo a difficult jump or avoid an attack, and there are also multiple save slots for each game, so you can record progress at any time. They seem like small things, but they go a long way in making these games feel a bit more accessible and modern.

Of course, the biggest question is how they control these games. While you can pair a Bluetooth gamepad, the default controller is the Fire TV remote. You flip it sideways and use the round directional button as a D-pad, while the forward, back, and play buttons represent the face buttons of the Genesis controllers. The pack with all games is priced at $ 14.99.
