    Every single game is perfectly emulated, and there's a lot of speedy, blue goodness to be had here. [Jan 2005, p.76]
  2. 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.
  3. GMR Magazine

    If you're new to Sonic, for 20 bucks you really can't go wrong. [Feb 2005, p.103]
  4. There are some truly magic moments here that transcend nostalgia. Even now, that first time you achieve absolutely blinding speed is exhilarating.
  5. There's no doubt that there's a huge amount of gameplay here, but at 30, perhaps it's a bit too expensive to warrant buying. Depends on how much you love your retro games. [PSW]
  6. If you love old school gaming, and old school Sonic in particular, the game is a decent deal, and as such, an attractive prospect to the Sonic collector.
  7. Well presented and brimming with top titles but new games are created and bought for a reason; they're better than the old ones. For nostalgists only. [PSM2]

    If you don't already have these excellent games, then Mega Collection Plus is an awesome investment. [Nov 2004, p.76]

    This collection almost perfectly illustrates why Sonic achieved what he did. [Jan 2005, p.98]

    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]

    I was going to rate the games on here individually but this was where i discovered the games anyway. The older Sonic games are great speedI was going to rate the games on here individually but this was where i discovered the games anyway. The older Sonic games are great speed platformers that will always be loved. The other games are not that great, but im not rating this pack based on Robotnic's Mean Bean Machine Looks: Astounding, Sounds: Brilliant, Gameplay: good, Experience: Well worth it Full Review »
