You literally have most of Sonic's Big Classic Hits all in one game, along with a whole ton of extra goodies to enjoy like comic covers, art gallery, a few videos, and some information. One of my most defining games of my childhood, and the very first introduction I had to Puyo Puyo in the form of Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean machine.
This game was one of the first compilations I could remember. I grew up with all these games on the sega and to have them all on one disc was awesome! You can’t save in the games(unless it’s Sonic 3) so that’s kind of rough. The unlockables are good but l feel like they could’ve added more. You can unlock some extra games and that’s it. The game where are all solid. You get Sonic 1- knuckles in their complete state with near perfect emulation. You also get 3d blast, Spinnall, and mean bean machine. The presentation oozes with nostalgia. It’s probably one of the best Sonic compilations out there.
Time and time again, I try to play Sonic games. It just never works out. They're always unfun. This is no exception. 2D Sonic games give me physical pain. I don't want to play a game where I can't see where I'm going. Oh yeah, it's so fun to consistently get flung blindly in to walls and have the momentum of the game keep crashing down to a halt.
This collection has so much good stuff in it. It has all of the great early Sonic games, which allowed me to understand how the series started, as well as some of the middle entries and then some random assortment of games. I liked playing them all and getting a feel of how they would change between entries.
