i remember the sonic cartoons, there was two of them, one series where the drawings were a bit dodgy, and all sonic ever did was eat chilly dogs,

then there was another one where the drawings were a bit better and sonic lived in a forest with a weird creature as his lover, they would go out of the forest and into like under ground places and beat robotniks plans, it was all very dark.

I think it was just spawning off the success of the mario cartoons, they were amazing!

It's very unlikely it was called mega collection because it was on the mega drive, think about it.

The mega drive was called the genesis in america, and the game was called mega collection there too.

WOAH!!!!!!

On Sonic Jam it had a thing where you could start from the last level you completed (Sonic 3 had BOTH but most people used the included saving)!

Is that not on Sonic Mega Collection?

I don't want it...it just doesn't bother me.

Much like the slowdown on Metroid Prime I encountered when going through a door in Phendrana Drifts (sp?) whilst as a morph ball.

I didn't want the slowdown, but it didn't bother me in the slightest.

What the hell?


You really WANT slowdown?

Most of those Sonic games would be ruined by save features.

Anyway, the whole point of Mega Collection is to emulate the exact versions that were on the MegaDrive, therefore, no save features if they weren't originally included, and slowdowns if they were.

I don't like the loading times though...for 16-bit games, they're appalling.

It is a little disspointing to see that no game other than Sonic 3 has the abillity to save your prgoress. But once you get playing through a game like Sonic 2, you start to remember the good-old-days, and to forget about it! But still, the Sonic and Knuckles should have save data functions - like they used to!

Think how easy it would be if it did have save progress features...
How would you be able to get every-last-Emerald in the first Sonic??
At least there's a Password system with Dr.Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, though.

I like this collection... Reminds me of beter days.
I'd still reccomend it to anyone who likes Sonic or SEGA, even if the games are still EXACTLY the same.
But what's really missing is Sonic CD -- a game I reckon SEGA are already planning to re-release on the GBA of 'Cube!


But just try and complete Act 2 of the Carnival Night Zone on Sonic 3 --- im-bloody-possible!!! :@
