    An absolute must have for people who liked them back then and if you never actually played them... well, I'll hold back. Just buy this collection.

    The variety and timeless appeal of the blue hedgehog’s better games however, combined with the low price, make this a must-buy stocking stuffer for the Sega fanboy (or girl) in all of us.

    Its appeal is limited to a select audience who will appreciate it for exactly what it is: a trip down the blast processing memory lane. And if you know just what the heck "blast processing" refers to, you're a hardcore oldtimer and should reward yourself with this cool collection.

    Even with its shortcomings, it's still one of the most value-packed classic compilations available for any system -- as long as you like Sonic.

    The lack of a couple of significant entries in the series, namely Sonic CD, hurts, and the inclusion of such lame, obscure titles like Sonic Spinball and The Ooze doesn't help.

    There are some truly magic moments here that transcend nostalgia. Even now, that first time you achieve absolutely blinding speed is exhilarating.

    It’s quite hard to give a score to this collection. All the games are simply dated and don’t offer anything to modern gamers. However, for the fans it’s a trip down memory lane and the collection earns it’s place in a collectors game collection. [May 2005, p.74]

    For many people my age, our experience with classic games stemed from compilation discs on modern systems. It was the most convenient way toFor many people my age, our experience with classic games stemed from compilation discs on modern systems. It was the most convenient way to either experience these games for the first time or to relive old memories. Often these collections were just packed with a lot of love and attention to detail that tells you that they cared about these games and they want to give you the very best impression possible. Sonic Mega Collection, originally released for the GameCube, was a prime example. Everything from the menus to the extras to even the music just filled your body with immense amounts of nostalgia, even if you have never grown up with a Sega Genesis.

    Mega Collection Plus on the PS2 here is largely the same as its GameCube counterpart, but with a few extra bells and wistles. This was the collection I grew up with, and one I have many fond memories of. I never had a Genesis growing up, but I was a huge fan of Sonic thanks to the cartoons and Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast, so this would be my first time playing many of these games. The game selection itself is impressive. Pretty much every major Sonic game is available along with a few other obscure Genesis titles, and the emulation for each of the games is solid for the most part. Though not every game is a banger, it's just fun to browse through each one and see what they're all about. The only real detriment to this collection is the omission of certain titles like Sonic CD or Sonic R (both of which got reased in their own seperate collection). Like the original release you can also find all of the original manuals to these games, various covers to Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog comics and a WIP animatic to the then up and coming Sonic Heroes.

    If you have yet to experience the original classic Sonic games, or are looking to scratch your 90s nostalgic itch, Mega Collection Plus is absolutely a must have.    … Expand

    Sound problems and no Sonic CD, what was SEGA thinking, other than that, $20.00 is a good price.

    Uma ótima coletânea, mas a emulação é muito fraca e cheia de problemas, infelizmente.
