people are a bit harsh on this game, it's a solid way to experience the genesis games if you care about acquiring games legitimately and not pirating. i think the price point could be lowered a bit and the additional content is a little lacking, but overall the games in this collection are great and i think this is a great way to get into the sonic series

also if you actually thought they were gonna put in "new playable characters" that weren't just like knuckles in sonic 1 im sorry but you're dumb as hell LMAO
