The collection features emulated versions of the three original [[Sega Mega Drive]] games, using a controller or on-screen touch controls simulating a Mega Drive control pad. The controls can be customized, and there are options for toggling the music, changing the video resolution (between 4:3, interpolated to fill the full width of the display, or "pixel perfect," using an integer scaling ratio), and using a video filter (Classic for no filter, Smooth for smoothing, or Scanlines for simulated scanlines). There are three slots for save states, which are synced to the cloud, and the player can rewind the game by 30 seconds at any point.
