'''''Sega Ages: Volume 1''''' is a compilation pack for the [[Sega Saturn]] featuring the arcade classics ''[[After Burner II]]'', ''[[OutRun]]'' and ''[[Space Harrier]]''. In North America it was published by [[Working Designs]] and simply titled '''''Sega Ages'''''. Due to the Saturn's failure in the western world, no "Volume 2" was ever released, making it the only ''Sega Ages'' title to escape Japan; furthermore, unlike [[:Category:Sega Ages|the other "Sega Ages" games]], this one was not released in Japan (instead, the three games got their own individual entries). All three games are identical to their arcade counterparts, but there are extra options which can be set to alter the difficulty of the game.

Sega Ages: Volume 1, known simply as Sega Ages in North America, is a video game compilation for the Sega Saturn. It was only released in western regions, with Sega publishing the game in Europe and Working Designs in North America.

Sega Ages: Volume 1 contains three games previously released in Japan as stand-alone titles; Sega Ages Vol.2 Space Harrier, Sega Ages OutRun and Sega Ages After Burner II, being enhanced ports of the arcade classics Space Harrier, OutRun and After Burner II, respectively. Though Sega produced ten more entries in its Sega Ages series on the Saturn, all were exclusive to Japan.

All three games in Sega Ages: Volume 1 are identical to their stand-alone Saturn counterparts, which are in turn extremely similar to the arcade originals. All offer extra difficulty options.
