5 out of 5 stars Great Purchase   August 9, 2010

Wanted to say thanks for getting this out to me so fast! Game disc and case were in great condition! Bought for my children who have totally enjoyed it.


4 out of 5 stars Good for most   July 16, 2010
Steven Priscak (Ohio)
The games are very much like the original as far as graphics and format go. I really like the original sonic games for genesis and I was hoping that this game would be exactly or close to the original format (and that's what this collection is). The only problem that I have with this game collection is that the controls don't seem as smooth as playing on the genesis - there seems to be a delay in response time from hitting a button. So if you love the original games and don't mind that the game play isn't as smooth as the original, I recommend this game.

Thought this would be a fun- always been a fan of Sonic and my 6 year old loves him. This "collection" doesnt even allow you to play all the games listed. The graphis are awful compared to Crash Bandicoot, Star Wars and Cars for the same system. Maybe because it was meant for Sega? I dont know- but dont waste your money.

If you never had them or just want to play them again. This is a great collection of all those sonic games I grew up playing.


5 out of 5 stars a good collection missing afew rare gems   April 23, 2006

This collection is a must have if your feeling abit nostalgic. It contains some of the best games of all time inparticular the four Mega Drive classics (Sonic 1, 2, 3 & Knuckles) and the fantastic Sonic & Knuckles lock-on mini games. You also get the Mega Drive versions of Dr Robotnick's Mean Bean Machine and Sonic Spinball and the dull Sonic 3D: Blast, the last Sonic game made for Sega's 16 bit console. This collection also includes a selection of rare Game Gear games. Some of these are quite fun others are not so good.

Here are all games included in this collection:

Mega Drive:
Sonic The Hedgehog ****
The first Sonic game released for the Mega Drive.

Sonic The Hedgehog 2 *****
The second Sonic game introduced us to Sonic's new sidkick Miles 'Tails' Prower, a two tailed flying fox. The game was also a much larger affair, with 10 levels intead of 6.

Sonic The Hedgehog 3 ****
The third outing for Sonic and Tails introduced us to Kunckles and the mysterious Angel Island.

Sonic & Knuckles ****
The fourth game in the series was the last great Sonic game ever made in my opinion. It featured a special lock-on capability which allowed you to plug all the previous games in the series into the top of the cartrige and unlock special games.

Sonic Spinball **
Not much to say about this game. It's simply a pinball game, and a bad one at that.

Sonic 3D ***
The last Sonic released for the Mega Drive. The pointless attemt at 3D made this a dull and slow affair when compared to the other four games in the series.

Dr Robotnick's Mean Bean Machine ***
A puzzle game featuring Dr Robonick from the animated series 'The Adventures Of Sonic The Hedgehog'.

Sonic & Knuckles lock-on games:

Sonic 3 special stage game (Sonic 1) ***
Knuckles in Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (Sonic 2) *****
Sonic 3 & Knuckles (Sonic 3) *****

Game Gear Games:
Sonic The Hedgehog ***
Sonic Chaos ***
Sonic Drift **
Sonic Labyrinth *
Dr Robotnick's Mean Bean Machine ***
Sonic Blast *

There are also four non-sonic unlockable games, their nothing special but worth a look.

The Ooze **
Comix Zone***
Flicky *
Ristar ***

This is a great collection, however i still can't understand why Sega felt the need not to include rare titles such as Sonic CD, Sonic R and Sonic The Fighters. Even though they have released them together in the Sonic Gems Colletion, i still feel it would have been much better to have released them all in one big collectors package instead.
