===''Sega Ages 2500'' (PlayStation 2)===
The second series was released for the PlayStation in 2003 and concluding in 2008, known as the ''Sega Ages 2500'' series - this title comes from the ¥2500 price point the game had. The series was created from Sega's interest in the success of [[D3 Publisher]]'s ''[[Simple series video games|Simple]]'' budget-title video game series, which features low-budget games at a low price point. This interest would lead to Sega and D3 Publisher forming a new subsidiary company in 2003, known as {{Nihongo|'''3D Ages'''|スリーディー・エイジス/3Dエイジス|Surīdī Eijisu}}, with the sole reason to create games under the ''Sega Ages 2500'' series. Later in 2004, D3 Publisher would leave the project and give Sega complete control of the company.

The series was created from Sega's interest in the success of [[D3 Publisher]]'s ''{{c|Simple}}'' budget-title video game series, which features low-budget games at a low price point. This interest would lead to Sega and D3 Publisher forming a new subsidiary company in 2003, known as [[3D Ages]], with the sole reason to create games under the ''Sega Ages 2500'' series. Later in [[2004]], [[D3 Publisher]] would leave the project and give Sega complete control of the company.


The main focus of the series was to remake older Sega video games with 3D visuals, alongside improved sound and gameplay. Following the departure of D3 Publisher, the series would soon shift into featuring compilations of other Sega video games alongside remakes of these games. The series officially concluded in 2008 after 33 entries, although several other ''Sega Ages 2500'' games, featuring games such as ''[[Streets of Rage]]'' and ''[[Alex Kidd]]'', were planned for release. 3D Ages was disbanded in late 2005 and absorbed into Sega.

Due to complications with Sony Computer Entertainment America, Sega was disallowed from releasing the games individually outside Japan. Instead, nine of the games in the ''Sega Ages 2500'' series would be compiled into the ''Sega Classics Collection'' compilation for the PlayStation 2, released in North America by Sega in 2005 and in Europe by [[Conspiracy Entertainment]] in 2006.

Year introduced1996
Genre(s)

Sega Ages (セガエイジス Sega Eijisu?) is a series of video game ports, remakes, and compilations published by Sega. It consists of Sega arcade games and home console games, typically those for the Sega Genesis and Master System. The series was launched on the Sega Saturn in 1996. Entries were published for the PlayStation 2 as Sega Ages 2500, a reference to its bargain ¥2500 price point. The series later came to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 as Sega Ages Online, and finally to the Nintendo Switch as simply Sega Ages.

Most of the Sega Saturn and PlayStation 2 releases were exclusive to Japan. Three games in the Sega Saturn series, Space Harrier, Out Run' and After Burner II, were selected for Sega Ages Vol. 1, released in Europe in 1996 and in North America in 1997. Several games in the PlayStation 2 series were released in Europe and North America as part of the Sega Classics Collection compilation in 2005. The PlayStation 2 series was initially developed by 3D Ages, a collaborative effort between Sega and D3 Publisher, however Sega would soon develop the games in-house following the departure of D3 Publisher from the project.

Games[edit]

Sega Ages (Sega Saturn)[edit]

The first Sega Ages series was released in 1996 for the Sega Saturn in Japan and concluded in 1998. Although the majority of the titles in this series remained exclusive to Japan, three games from the line - Out Run, Space Harrier and After Burner II, would be compiled into the video game compilation Sega Ages Volume 1, released in Europe in 1996 by Sega itself and in North America in 1997 by Working Designs under their Spaz imprint. Despite the title, no additional volumes would be released in these territories.

Sega Ages 2500 (PlayStation 2)[edit]

The second series was released for the PlayStation in 2003 and concluding in 2008, known as the Sega Ages 2500 series - this title comes from the ¥2500 price point the game had. The series was created from Sega's interest in the success of D3 Publisher's Simple budget-title video game series, which features low-budget games at a low price point. This interest would lead to Sega and D3 Publisher forming a new subsidiary company in 2003, known as 3D Ages, with the sole reason to create games under the Sega Ages 2500 series. Later in 2004, D3 Publisher would leave the project and give Sega complete control of the company.

The main focus of the series was to remake older Sega video games with 3D visuals, alongside improved sound and gameplay. Following the departure of D3 Publisher, the series would soon shift into featuring compilations of other Sega video games alongside remakes of these games. The series officially concluded in 2008 after 33 entries, although several other Sega Ages 2500 games, featuring games such as Streets of Rage and Alex Kidd, were planned for release. 3D Ages was disbanded in late 2005 and absorbed into Sega.

Due to complications with Sony Computer Entertainment America, Sega was disallowed from releasing the games individually outside Japan. Instead, nine of the games in the Sega Ages 2500 series would be compiled into the Sega Classics Collection compilation for the PlayStation 2, released in North America by Sega in 2005 and in Europe by Conspiracy Entertainment in 2006.

Sega Ages Online / Sega Vintage Collection (Xbox 360 / PlayStation 3)[edit]

The third series was released for the Xbox 360 that was both introduced and concluded in 2012. This series consisted of releases from the Sega Vintage Collection series, originally released in North America and Europe, from 2007-2009, as well as re-releases of games from the Sega Ages 2500 series - the latter games were only released on the PlayStation Store for the PlayStation 3 and had the Sega Ages 2500 name stripped from the title. The games were developed by M2 as opposed to being made in-house by Sega. Ten releases were made in total, making it the shortest of the Sega Ages series.
