Should be really reserved.
The physical console versions only contains "Sonic Origins", all the PLUS Content is only avaible via Download-Code. So the plus version will never avaible when Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo one day shut down there online services. A physical pc version isn't even avaible. The steam version also have the nasty Denuvo DRM, this also needs to be removed.
So yes, this game really needs to preserved.
I enjoyed this alot on Steam along with the Plus! content. I would love to get it here on GOG.
I didn't have a Sega Genesis growing up but I used to rent one along with several games from a then-local video game rental store in the early 90s when I was a teenager. I did have a Game Gear though and was glad to see a bunch of the Game Gear Sonic titles on Sonic Origins Plus!. It's also alot of fun going through Sonic 1, 2, 3 & Knuckles, and Sonic CD with different available characters. The story mode is also alot of fun though I haven't played all the way through it yet.
Sonic Origins... you know, I've been begging for years home ports of the mobile Sonic 1's and 2's Retro Engine ports ever since Taxman and Stealth gave us excellent ports of Sonic's original 16-bit adventures and hoping we could get the same treatment for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles one day. Well, wish granted by the monkey's paw...
There's no excuse for a collection of 30-something-year-old Sega Genesis games (I know they're based off the Retro Engine remasters, but these game were Genesis games originally) and Game Gear games to be locked by anti-consumer DRM like DENUVO and has a bad reputation of hindering performance of some games. Even console players are treated like second-class citizens when their respective releases does not come with everything on the disc or cartridge. Unlike Sonic Mania Plus, Sonic Origins Plus only comes with the base game while the rest of the DLC content (that should have been in the base game to begin with) is only given through a download voucher. Gee, thanks Sega...
As for the collection itself, it reeks of Sonic Twitter's "Better than nothing" hypocrisy since this collection feels like it offers the bare minimum to make it happen and some of the most egregious issues on top of it. The Story and Anniversary Mode are so redundant; the latter really could have been its own thing with the remastered features with a traditional lives system whereas the Story Mode should have been the "Easy Mode" without lives. That's not getting into how "Classic" Mode falsely advertises being the classic experience when it's not, it's just Anniversary Mode with a 4:3 aspect-ratio and lives, with all of the same gameplay and physics changes from the remastered version. Oh, but they'll preserve the original experience for the extra Game Gear games, which half of them range from being mid at best or hot garbage at worst. It doesn't even have Sonic Mania's CRT filters at all despite using a similar engine for the games themselves.

AdventureAdventure is a video game for the Atari 2600 video game console, released in 1980. In the game, the player controls a square avatar whose quest is to hunt an open world environment for a magical chalice, returning it to the golden castle. The game world is populated by roaming enemies: dragons, which can eat the avatar; and a bat, which randomly steals and hides items around the game world.
Adventure was designed and programmed by Atari employee Warren Robinett, and published by Atari, Inc. At the time, Atari programmers were generally given full control on the creative direction and development cycle for their games, and this required them to plan for their next game as they neared completion of their current one to stay productive.
Robinett submitted the source code for Adventure to Atari management in June 1979 and soon left Atari. Atari released the game in early 1980.Fantasy
