This is basically a collection of scraps after Mega Collection took all the good stuff, but a way to play Sonic's more obscure games is still appreciated and the art gallery's actually really cute
The perfect encapsulation of Sonic's Genesis days
1998
I unironically like the sountrack and the gameplay, but a racing game with only 5 courses is only going to go so far
1995
Probably the best Game Gear game, as well as the best of the throw-things-at-the wall period of Sonic games between 3&K and Sonic Adventure
I vaguely remember having an ok time with this back in the day, though if I'd played it more recently or had experience with the original Konami games I'd likely be more critical
1984
The game you spend all of 2 minutes playing on Sonic Mega Collection before getting bored and moving onto one of the actual Sonic games
1993
Lot of good and a lot of not good. Glad we have the game, it gave us Metal Sonic, Amy (sort-of), and that killer opening, but it's a good deal harder to come back to than, say, Sonic 2 or 3
(why does this game even have Future gates...)

All the best songs from this game are also in Sonic Adventure. Just play Sonic Adventure and skip this
Love the name but I'm just not crazy for Puyo Puyo (review brought to you by Panel de Pon gang)
Improves upon Gold and Silver a bit but doesn't fix their underlying issues
These games are carried hard by their (admittedly very good) presentation; the actual gameplay is mostly just frustrating.
While this was my first mainline (I'd played Snap and Stadium prior) Pokemon game way back when, I struggle to have much nostalgia for it because it doesn't hold up in a lot of ways on a replay

"Whoa there's so many new Pokemon! I can't wait to add them to my team!" (clueless, doesn't realize all the newly added Pokemon are either too weak, unreasonable to find and catch, or both)
1993
More like Stale Bread of Fire
1993
Highly recommend playing it through with a friend if able

Final Fantasy VI is a truly stellar, almost unparalleled game...which has historically been cursed with releases that always had something wrong with them
The SNES original had a shoddy translation
The GBA port fixed the script but had a poor sound chip
The original mobile and PC ports looked terrible
But here? We got the improved script, excellent new sprite work, and a soundtrack to match or even surpass the original.
This, right here, is perfection.
