Golden Axe is the only game in the collection that has external CD audio (aside from Columns but only the title screen track uses CD audio) and it uses the arcade version's soundtrack.

However, it is heavily based on the Mega Drive port with the voices changed to higher quality voices (none of them, besides the townspeople screaming in Turtle Village, are from the Genesis or Arcade version).

[1] Streets of Rage is generally the same as the Genesis version aside from the voices, which are CD quality enhanced.

[4] It was only sold as a pack-in game with the Sega CD, the collection added Super Monaco GP but was otherwise identical, including the version of Revenge of Shinobi included.

In Europe, where only this version was released, the compilation was re-titled as Sega Classics Arcade Collection Limited Edition.
