Vote to bring this game to GOG and help preserve it.1 610
This game, in fact, does have a PC port, and with the lackluster release of Sonic Origins (as well as this game being a core flashback into Sonic's mid-2000's history), I believe it should be preserved. Let the kids have OG S3&K!!!
Aside from Radica's Genesis Collection Volume 2 plug-and-play system, this was the very thing that helped introduce me not only to Sonic the Hedgehog, but SEGA as a whole. Some memories I have playing this were trying to get past Chemical Plant Act 2, as well as looking at the Archie Comic covers and Sonic Heroes intro.
The opening, the menu music and the amount of artwork, comics, etc. It's worse the buy just for that. But then it comes with the whole Sonic collection from the Genesis and GameGear era. This is the reason why I didn't need emulation and is still amazing even today. So many memories with this.
I actually had the original version along with the PS2 updated version. Despite a more notable audio problem. You get newer stuff in Extras than the stuff originally in there. You get two Genesis games that were originally exclusive to the Japanese version of Sonic Mega Collection. Comix Zone and The Ooze respectively. They also added in six Sonic Game Gear games as well. It's already a great lineup of Sonic games. Regardless of which version the theme song I always enjoyed. This is a great game to start getting into the franchise with. You even get the lock-on games that's not in many compilation games. Although for PC version of Sega Genesis Classics you can get those as roms for two Sonic games free. The presentation is very decent for it's time. This updated version on several platforms. You simply getting more than the original version. If you love Sonic you gotta play this!!!
This was the first video game I ever played, and probably one of the best compilations ever made. The games are all-time classics, of course, but the presentation with the amazing visuals, music, and extras make the whole thing amazing. There is a PC version out there, so I'd love to see this get GOG'd.

To progress, the player collects keys open locked doors throughout the levels, searching for the large exit door. Optional treasures can be picked-up for bonus points.
