Did you spend all your teenage years – or worse still your twenties – in a bedroom with a Mega Drive, playing Sega’s super-fast Sonic the Hedgehog games? If so, this compilation pack is pure youth-reliving heaven. An incredible 18 old Mega Drive classics from the early-to-mid 1990s are recreated perfectly here, with the famous Sonic games accompanied by some obscure gems from Sega’s mighty back catalogue.
You might not have heard of Ristar or Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine, but their role in Sega history is equally as important as Sonic’s. Even better news for fans of Sonic and Sega is the inclusion of Game Gear and Master System sections – home to yet more long-forgotten and hard-to-geteven- at-the-time classics. Ideal for grownups that want to relive their favourite old games and younger kids after something fun and flashy, Sonic has once again found himself fronting an essential game. 4 out of 5.
