Sonic MEGA Collection

[TMM]

Yah, it's got about 20 or so games on it.

I know it's been out for a while...but...it's Sonic damn you! And I just ordered it, and bizarely, I'm really excited.

Oh, uh, and to give this thread some meaning...um, why does Sonic rock your socks?

Sonic owns all other platform characters. That is all...

[stokeriño]

Been there. Done that. Got the t-shirt. Literally. B)

There is one major flaw with the collection, and that's the absence of the Master System/Game Gear version of Sonic 2. Seriously, they have the MS version of Sonic 1, and then games like Sonic Chaos etc. Then there's a bunch of other crap they don't need, like two versions of Mean Bean Machine, or that load of "extra" hidden games that have nothing to do with Sonic whatsoever. Added to the fact that I love the MS Sonic 2 more than any of the other MS Sonic games. They have no excuse.

It might also have been nice to see Sonic CD or Chaotix on there - certainly more than 'Sonic Drift' and other such wastes of time. Unless they're trying to pretend that the Mega CD and 32X never existed that is.

Other than that, Sonic is King. My first computer game *ever* was Sonic 2 with my brand new Mega Drive II, and from there on I've just loved the entire Sonic franchise. In fact, I've played Sonic 2 so much over the past 12 years that I can play parts of it with my eyes closed. As I proved to my friend a few weeks ago on Chemical Plant Zone Act 1...

*Sonic jumping noise*

Friend: "Hah, you missed."

Blind Me: "I was jumping over the blue thing, fool."

*End of Act Spinning Sign noise*

Friend: "...Git."

You know in the Sonic Mega Collection, that in order to unlock the Sonic 3 + S&K combination you have to play BOTH Sonic 3 and S&K 30 times...?! I mean goddamn.

That would be worth it just for Comix Zone.

[Dan]

Meh, I got it a while back, gets boring very quickly. It just doesn't have that addictiveness it used to.

[AJ]

I want it but have no money.

Sonic was my first ever game on my megadrive (not II, the first one baby)

Haven't played it in ages but I remember very clearly Labyrinth was a bitch.

[Liam]

Labyrinth was the one with the water, and the Aztec style stone type things, wasn't it?

The one I hated was the one which had water, but it was all metal and mechanical...can't remember what the levels name was.

[stokeriño]

Water plus metal and mechanical...? There aren't any other water ones on Sonic 1... Well, Scrap Brain Zone is mechanical, and temporarily returns to a Labyrinth-esque environment for Act 3, but I don't think that would be it.

Might you mean Chemical Plant Zone on Sonic 2? It wasn't water per say, more...purple. Other than that, the only other ones with water are:

Aquatic Ruin (Sonic 2) - no metal

Oil Ocean (Sonic 2) - if you count oil as water...

Hydro...something (Sonic 3) - not mechanical really

That's about it really, as far as Mega Drive Sonic games go.

And personally, I didn't mind Labyrinth Zone much at all. The ones that peeved me were Star Light Zone (S1), Metropolis Zone (S2), Marble Garden Zone (S3), and Sandopolis Zone (S&K) - not because they were hard, but because they seemed long and tedious.

Now all I need is for the bastards at Nintendo to release Super Mario for PS2. Somehow. Ain't gonna happen, but I ain't gonna buy a GameCube just for Mario though. Although I wanna play Mario

I'll get this, get bored after a while, then I'll get Star Wars Lego and be addicted to that for ever.

[K]

Chemical Plant Zone was a mixed bag. I really liked it, but since it was so near the beginning It just got old really quick.

[Liam]

Yeah, Stokerino, Chemical Plant Zone is the one I was thinking about. I used to hate that bugger.

[Stevie B]

Completed Sonic 1 with all 6 Emeralds the other day.... YEAH!

[IAceI]

We all know Nintendo lovers say Mario is better - but I was a sega guy and Sonic was awesome. Then again I don't think I'll buy it but yes - Sonic is great.

[FunkAsPuck]

Sonic is much more simplistic than Mario, but Sonic has a charm about it that makes it so godamn awesome.

But I love the music the most in the Sonic games. Just listening to it all again brings back happy memories.

Sega Sonic Radio: Pure Sonic Music 24/7

Right now they've got some mix of the Sonic 2 Credits Mix. A mix of a mix...yeah...but fuck it, it's Sonic music.

[triplexpac]

My roomates and I bought a Genesis & Sonic 2 (amongst other games) at a pawn shop a couple weeks back. Pure gold!

[TAFKA Castroneves]

I have got to get this game, I have a Game Gear and a Megadrive, but it just gives me an excuse to play them even more than I have done recently. Sonic's games were the only others apart from FF7, Football Managers and F1 games to ever catch my eye as a kid.

I never really got to play Sonic as a kid, I had a SNES and so did all my friends. But, the little bit of Sonic I did play kicked my ass.

[AJ]

I just ordered off Amazon... how do they know what size shirt to send me? Or do I get what I'm given?
