Ready for some cool retro game action on your PC? Sega hopes so. The publisher has already released three batches of classic Sega Genesis games for the PC via download. Today the fourth batch of games for that console is now available from GamersGate and should start popping up on Steam, Direct2Drive and other download outlets.

The games themselves range in price from $2.99 to $4.99 each. The fourth group includes Landstalker: The Treasures of King Nole, Shining Force, Wonder Boy III: Monster Lair, Streets of Rage 1 and 2, Alien Soldier, Light Crusader, Gunstar Heroes, Shining Force II, Shining in the Darkness, Sonic The Hedgehog 2, Sonic 3 and Knucles and the two ToeJam and Earl games (ToeJam and Earl and ToeJam and Earl Panic on Funkotron).

Sega and Sports Interactive's Football Manager 2011 is one of many soccer/football management sim games you can buy this fall. However the publishing team at Sega is going all out to make getting their game a much bigger value. This week it was announced that pre-orders of Football Manager 2011 on Steam will net the user 20 free games.

Those 20 games will come from the two Sega Genesis Classic collections. The fact that each game included in this offer is sold separately for $2.99 each means that you will be getting free games valued for a total of close to $60 with your $39.99 pre-order of Football Manager 2011. You can see the full list of free games you will be getting after the jump:

Earlier this year, Sega released a number of ports of its older Genesis console games for PC owners. Today the developer announced that a second set of Genesis classic titles will be ported and made available for PC gamers via digital download on outlets like Steam.

The titles will be priced starting at $2.99 each. There's no word on when these games will be available.
