It's a good compilation, don't confuse it, but it could have improvements in the games, like, the sound effects are of considerably lower quality compared to the original games, and it also doesn't offer extras in the games, like saving and tips in the games. Which are present in the Mega Collection Plus. It's a great way to play the classics, but it has better ways, the Plus version is superior.

10/10, I dont care about any of the games that were included, but I love the menus

A good compilation

It is a great title with a long life. It gives some insight on how it all began but does leave out some of the later games of the series. It is more of a Sonic history on the Sega Genesis with a little bit of information on the later evolution of the series. You start off with seven titles to choose from. Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Sonic & Knuckles, Sonic 3D Blast, Sonic Pinball and Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. If you find you enjoy this game and wish to play the Game Gear games with Sonic the Hedgehog; you can find them in Sonic DX. There is nothing like an 8-bit flashback!

Es la colección de juegos de Sonic mas grande y con mas contenido hasta el momento, a pesar de ser ROMS emuladas, eso lo compensa con tener una muy buena variedad de juegos de Sonic con mucho contenido extra

I played this game through Dolphin a few years ago and even though emulation is now the superior way to play the classics, in 2002 this must have been a treat. I didn't spend much time on it but I was surprised to find all the bonuses in this compilation. There is artwork of the many characters throughout the series, scans of the original game manuals, scans of the covers of various Sonic the Hedgehog comic issues from the Archie series, videos promoting various sonic games throughout the icon's history, and so much more. It is the ultimate Sonic the Hedgehog treasure trove. Though the emulations of the games themselves aren't perfect, they were still as fun as ever. This is exactly what a compilation is at its best. Sonic Mega Collection reminded people why Sonic was so beloved and why he continues to be. It was meant to be the game that taught three new audiences Sonic's history. As far as compilations go, Sonic Mega Collection is easily among the best.

Sonic mega collection has some of the best games sonic has to offer such as the original sonic the hedgehog, sonic 2, sonic spinball and my personal favourite sonic 3 and knuckles as well as many more titles. The games run and control just as well as they did on the mega drive with no porting issues. There are also many unlockable games as well, such as knuckles in sonic 2 and even the mega drive classic Ristar can be unlocked as well. Overall I highly recommend this game to any sonic fans as well as gamecube owners as it gives players some of the best sonic has to offer.

The best game compilation of all time. Do I need to say more? It has so much content filled in the game being the games,comics, trivia, etc. 10/10 Amazing game!

Review/Reseña (English/Español) Score/Nota: 8.0/10 Unfortunately, I never had the pleasure (for my economy) of having a SEGA console, that is why I have this collection with great enthusiasm and I must say that it is really great. It shows a great visual improvement in the 7 titles that includes the collection (plus some unlockables to give a total of 12-14 depending on the region) as well as an improvement in terms of sound. The control is pretty good thanks to the ergonomics that has always been the control of Gamecube, which is not lost at any time of the total experience that these games offered in its original console. Despite being a collection, it serves for all those diehard Nintendo fans who never had a SEGA console and it becomes a cult gem for all the cube owners. 8.0/10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lamentablemente nunca tuve el placer (por mi época y economía) de tener una consola de SEGA, es por ello que jugué esta colección con bastante ilusión y debo decir que efectivamente es grandiosa. Se nota una gran mejora visual en los 7 títulos que incluye la colección (mas algunos desbloqueables para dar un total de 12-14 dependiendo de la región) así como una mejora en términos sonoros. El control queda bastante bien gracias a lo ergonómico que siempre ha resultado el mando de Gamecube, con lo cual no se pierde en ningún momento la experiencia total que estos juegos ofrecieron en su consola original. A pesar de ser una colección, sirve para todos aquellos acérrimos fans de Nintendo que nunca tuvieron una consola de SEGA y se convierte en una joya de culto para todos los poseedores del cubo. 8.0/10

This game has all your favorite sonic games and mashes it into MY favorite video game system. I spent weeks playing this amazing game even though I have all the games on the game I just keep playing. I love this game but it isn't perfect but I do recommend it. Just some games aren't perfect on this game but it's still fun!

With 12 outstanding games and many extras hidden within the small disk, this game deserves a place on your video game shelf. The game is cheaper than buying their Genesis/Mega Drive versions together, and that's great! You'll want this game's Sonic the Hedgehog over the cruddy GBA version.

The best collection of games I have and frankly if you have no other way to play the original Sonic games I would highly suggest this collection and the Gems Collection as well. I still have yet to unlock all the secrets, but the extra content is pretty impressive. Definately a great collction. Heck even the music is great!

Sonic Mega Collection is a compilation of some of Sonic the Hedgehog's greatest games along with a few Sonic spinoffs and two bonus games not related to Sonic at all. The games that come in this compilation consists of Sonic the Hedgehog (Genesis US version), Sonic the Hedgehog (Megadrive Japanese version), Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (Genesis US Version), Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (Genesis US Version), Sonic and Knuckles (Genesis US Version), Lock-On Sonic 1 & Knuckles: Blue Spheres Minigame (Genesis US Version), Lock-On Sonic 2 & Knuckles: Knuckles in Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (Genesis US Version), Lock-On Sonic 3 and Knuckles: Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Knuckles, Sonic 3D Blast (Genesis US Version), Sonic Spinball (Genesis US Version), Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (Genesis US Version), Flickey (Genesis US Version) and Ristar (Genesis US Version). The Emulation of the games overall are amazing but not completely perfect. There are very minimal differences with audio and some graphical effects but nothing that really effects the experience much at all. The game includes nice bonuses such as full readable instruction manuals and a full readable comic book, , a collection of Comic Book cover illustrations, cutscenes from Sonic CD, Concept art, advertisements for Sonic Adventure 2 Battle and Sonic Advanced 2 and more. The games retain their two player modes but certain cheat codes are disabled or modified (Knuckles for some reason can no longer access Sonic/Tails exclusive stages through level select in S&K and S3&K and obviously Sonic/Tails can't access Knuckles' version Sky Sanctuary Zone either.) Overall this game is a cheaply priced compilation filled with many quality games and it definitely worth a purchase by Sonic fans or people who love nostalgic platformer games from the 16-bit era of the 1990s.
