Oct. 2024

This is the set of the good classic Sonic games, and it's a decent way to play them with a big caveat. Some of the music in Sonic 3 was replaced (because of licensing issues probably), and the original removed songs were game-definingly great while the new songs are just very forgettable. I highly recommend installing the "The Definitive Sonic 3 OST" mod for this game so you get the much better classic tracks when playing Sonic 3.

Honestly after playing this collection myself even after being very critical of it since launch this is pretty solid for what it is. Is it perfect? No. But the ports included are still the Whitehead versions of Sonic 1-Sonic 2 and the 3K port is very competant despite being rushed. Some suggestions would be to wait for this collection to go on sale (I'd say you are getting your money's worth around 20 dollars) and install the Ultra Fix mod which basically fixes 90% of the issues with this collection. Obviously alternatives exist such as fan ports, but as a convenient package with some extra things like a pretty hefty art gallery, decently fun challenge modes, some Game Gear games, fully animated cutscenes, and nice looking menus it's a good time.

Sept. 2024

Only recommending this because of Ultrafix. Base Origins Plus on its own is still very flawed, albeit enjoyable. Ultrafix makes it a lot more definitive though. Also get this on sale. It is much more worth 20 dollars than 50

Genuinely might be a definitive experience if you want to play the original Sonic games. With the main games (Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles and Sonic CD) you get them both in widescreen, 60 fps with a selection of different characters (Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy if you pay for Origins Plus) but if you're a purist you can still play the games in their original form. Playing the games remastered like this genuinely has breathed new life into the games I've been playing for most of my life, getting to enjoy them as a smoother experience while also being able to play as characters that originally weren't in the games makes for a great time and means I can play each game multiple times over without it feeling like a chore. You also get access to all those Game Gear games you probably played on the PS2 and Gamecube if you get Origins Plus which usually for me is more a novelty than anything else. I'd honestly just recommend getting Origins Plus because you get everything and its a fun little package. My only gripe would be the price which is definitely high for some old Sonic games even if they have been reworked, if you're hesitant I'd recommend waiting for a sale but if you're like me and enjoyed these classic games then I'd definitely say you should get this at some point.

May 2024

The best (and only, as Sega removed all other versions of the classic Sonic titles) compilation of the classic Sonic games. The games were updated with wide-screen support and several other enhancements, including fully animated intros for all the games, which is a nice touch. The compilation also includes several Game Gear titles, but you have to get the "Plus" DLC for them. However, it would have been nice if we had some sort of "CRT filter" option, as these games were designed to be displayed on CRT screens, and 3rd party emulators are somewhat good at this, but here this feature is missing. I also miss the inclusion of "spin-off" titles like Sonic Spinball (the Game Gear version is included but not the better Mega Drive/Genesis one) and Sonic 3D Blast and maybe some drawings/art like in the Street Fighter and Mutant Turtles compilations. Overall, I recommed this compilation to all Sonic fans, and gamers who like good classic games in general.
