Classic Sonic is great and you should play these games, Concept art gallery is pretty extensive
Lack of basic graphics options, Missing pretty much any feature that should be in a retro rerelease, Ultimately fails to live up to previous versions of these very games

Four timeless games remade and compiled in one package, New touch-up and additions to the games make them worth replaying even if you're a grizzled Sonic veteran

Abstract: While I was pretty firmly on the Nintendo side way back when the Nintendo vs Sega wars were in full bloom, I nonetheless have some small bits of nostalgia for Sonic the Hedgehog back in his glory days. I'll always remember going to my local Kmart, running...
