Apparently, the Sega app on Steam that lets you (legally) play old Genesis games has morphed into a slightly more modern interface (and perhaps name) -- "Sega Genesis and Mega Drive Classics." If you have the old version, any games you have for it carry over. Even better -- they now have official mod support via the Workshop, so they integrate into the new interface automatically (you can revert to the old mode, just sans mods). Only downside is that you can only have one mod "active" on any given game at a time -- you gotta launch it by clicking the game you want, selecting "mods," and launching the mod's button itself. Hell, even the Phantasy Star games have them o_O In an interesting twist, each mod keeps its saves distinct from one another, and from the unmodified game's saves -- thus, you don't have to worry about crossing the streams.
The overwhelming bulk of the mods are just fan-made patches, including translations, de-censorship patches, and easy mode/infinite lives patches from a decade ago or better...but hey, most of them apparently work just fine Beats running the blasted things from a command line. The upside of this being, dozens of mods are already out there.
