It is not certain how long Sega's fun retro games will remain in the Google Play Store and Apple's App Store. However, you can now purchase the originally paid titles for free and without adverts. The company has also removed in-game purchases.

Originally, Sega relaunched a selection of retro classics under the name «Sega Forever Programme». This was intended to preserve the old games on modern devices. Now, however, they are to come to an end. The news about this does not come via official channels, but - [according to androidauthority](https://www.androidauthority.com/sega-retro-games-android-free-3568153/) - via an in-game pop-up:

It appears that the games can still be played after being removed from the app stores. If you still want to game your way through the games, you can find the links below. Have fun:
