Sonic CD, Knux Chaotix, LOCK ON, I think it’s time for a new SONIC collection, not a SEGA collection.

It’s literally astounding how much SEGA has re-re-re-released these games.

I can’t believe there are people on the EARTH that hasn’t played them all at this rate.

I’m tempted to download a Genesis emulator just to spite them. While I’m glad I can play the classics on every system under the sun, the PC already has the Mega Collection. What’s the point of this?

I’d like to see them release the Saturn version of 3D Blast. For that matter all of their Saturn catalog, I still need to replay Astal and Bug Too now that I’m older and a broken Saturn won’t accommodate that. The above rare games mentioned would be fantastic as well.
