SEGA Genesis & Mega Drive Classics only 1 game?

There are actually 50 games, if I'm not wrong. When you buy a game, what appears on your library is the SEGA Genesis & Mega Drive Classics, which is actually the emulator for the games, and the games themselves appear as DLCs for the emulator.

About the games, you can buy them independently or in packs. I highly recommend you the packs, since you can save a lot of money.

There are five packs: 4 for the Mega Drive and 1 for Genesis.

Complete Mega Drive pack (and list of all Mega Drive games)

Mega Drive pack 1

Mega Drive pack 2

Mega Drive pack 3

Mega Drive pack 4

Genesis pack

Actually, the "Complete" Genesis/ Mega Drive collection is NOT complete. It only contains 40 of the 50 games found in the packs. Also, Sonic Genesis/ Mega Drive titles and the two ToeJam & Earl titles must be bought seperately.

Well, technically, the pack it's not SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive Classics Collection, it's SEGA Mega Drive Classics Collection; that's why it only comes with the 40 Mega Drive games and you have to buy the 10 Genesis games apart. But yeah, it's kind of confusing, I was too at first.

¿The Sonic and the Toejam & Earl games also appears as DLC for the SEGA Genesis & Mega Drive Classics or do they appear as standalone games on the Steam library?

In North America, all 5 of the packs and the Collection have Genesis in the title, not Mega Drive. So it's a little odd (some might say misleading or annoying) when a Collection isn't compelled to add the remaining 10 games to it's "complete" collection (nevermind that the missing games are from different packs). Besides, Genesis and Mega Drive are the same console, just with a different name, so why not just bundle everything together?

The Sonic and ToeJam and Earl games are listed as DLC, just like all the other titles.

I didn't know that. Then it makes it even stranger, since in Europe you have four Mega Drive packs (the ones of the collection) and the Genesis pack. Seeing that, I didn't thought they could be the same console.

Mega Drive was the console's name in Japan and PAL territories. In North America, we went with Genesis. Something about legal issues over the name Mega Drive.

You are getting different titles by region. With USA region, every single pack says "SEGA Genesis Classics" on it, with not a single mention of the word "Megadrive" on any of the store pages.

e.g. http://store.steampowered.com/sub/4839/?cc=us
vs. http://store.steampowered.com/sub/4839/?cc=uk

edit: Yep "Pack 5" is labeled as "Genesis" no matter what you set the region too. I presume it's just a labeling anomaly in the Steam store database, and should be changing name based on region same as the other packs.
