20 quid would make it a possible buy but I've seen it going for nearer 40! No ta.

Oh and you didn't really talk like this "what are you talking about, man? I don't play videogames, man - games are so uncool!" in '91 did you?! :-O

Have they kept in the absolutly cronic slowdown on Sonic 2 split screen?

I really quite fancy getting this for old time's sake, but it's a shame they didn't go to the effort of sorting out some of the problems the old games suffered from - still getting slowdown and load screens on a vastly superior machine some 12 years later???????? That sucks.

Also, the price is a bit steep. I've only seen it available for £35-40 on the high street, and it's not much cheaper online. £20-25 would've been fairer. I might wait for this to hit the bargain bins and concentrate on the new stuff.

Can you play Knuckles in 1 & 2 to emulate the old sticking one cart into another gimmick?

yes you can.

Why the emulation, keeping slowdowns etc...? It'd be nice to play some of these games, revamped. At least then it would be worthy of being on the GC. Most people can play those games on a PC emulator for free, SEGA should have offered something you can't get from that.

Why no mention of the extra games? Ristar etc.

Sonic Jam is better because:
It allows you to save your Sonic 1+2 game.
You can play Sonic&Knuckles locked on to Sonic 2+3 straight away without having to unlock them.
It has a cool 3D mini game/menu
Decent sized D-Pad

SMC is better because
The extra games
60htz option

In Woolies today, and with all the broohaha over the dumping of the cube, they had the PS2 with the visually arresting/impressive Getaway and next to it on the cube? Sonic Mega Collection. I f-in ask you...

Works for me. Never got a chance to own all the MD Sonic's back in the day, but this will effectivly complete my sonic collection.
Nice one Sega.

Thankyou! i'm relieved that someone actually loves that game. Better than tetris in everyway i reckon, and yes, i owned the original gameboy and played it death all those years ago.

Since I played these a lot on emulator a couple of years ago, I had to buy it. ( my justification for using emulators is that I can't buy the originals )

Damn, but good at the same time.

Releasing a handful of old games youve played to death with a full price tag on is downright scandelous.

Bollocks. Sonic Mega Collection is 7 games for the same price as the rubbish Sonic Advance! How can that be anything but a bargain?

And playing console games on a PC monitor just feels wrong.
