Sega Smash Pack Volume 1 is a Sega Dreamcast compilation of twelve earlier Sega games. Ten of these games were originally released for the Sega Mega Drive. This compilation was only available to certain bundled Dreamcast systems.

This is the third compilation to be released that was titled Sega Smash Pack; the first two were released for PC. When released, the game was criticized for its poor emulation and the poorly reproduced music featured in the games. The game's disc (GD-ROM) contains a text document that elaborates on the emulator and includes text that alludes to Sega's dropping out of the console business.

Games included:

Altered Beast
Columns
Golden Axe
Phantasy Star II
Revenge of Shinobi
Sega Swirl (originally released on Dreamcast demo discs, as well as PC/Shockwave and Palm OS)
Shining Force
Sonic the Hedgehog
Streets of Rage 2
Vectorman
Virtua Cop 2 (port of PC game, which was a port of the Saturn version)
Wrestle War
