REVIEW
one of the best compilations you'll ever find. This collection has it all. Platformers, Brawlers, RPGs, Fighting, top down shooters, and some fantastic arcade games you probably never heard of.
Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - what can be said? its the signature sega franchise, and still a blast to play today.
Super Thunder Blade - early attempt at 3d in the vein of star fox
Sword of Vermilion - classic rpg goodness
VectorMan 1 and 2 - a great platformer/shooter
Alex Kidd - a surprisingly tough platformer
Altered Beast - a brawler where you take the forms of animals
Ecco + Tides of Time and Jr - great platformer/adventure series
Flicky - a fun little arcade game in the vein of Joust
Gain Ground - top down shooter action with rpg elements
Golden Axe 1, 2, and 3 - one of the best brawler series of the 16-bit era
Kid Cameleon - a great platformer with tons of different powers/costumes
Phantasy Star 2, 3, and 4 - great rpg series spanning thousands of years
Ristar - a unige action/platformer
Shadow Dancer- a punishing prequel to Shinobi
Shinobi III- great action/platformer. the best in the series
Virtua Fighter 2- its the genesis version, not the arcade. decent but nothing compared to the arcade version.
Bonus Games: Astro Blaster, Congo Bongo, Eliminator, Space Fury, and Super Zaxxon. ive only unlocked congo bongo and space fury so far. the first one is like an isometric Donkey Kong, and the other is like a much more colorful asteroids.
other extras include original trailers for certain games as well as developer interviews. overall its one of the best deals on the PSP. any fan of retro games/nostalgia needs to pick this one up immediately.

REVIEW
A mixed bag... Yes, unlike similar compilations by Midway, Taito, etc, most of these games are remakes, and a bit challenging (I couldn't get used to the "new" Golden Axe, for starters). However, both Virtua Racing and OutRun seem to have made it relatively unchanged (though there must have been licensing issues over OR, since the familiar Ferrari has been replaced by a larger car that looks out of place, IMO), as did Space Harrier, so that's a redeeming factor. My take? If you like the new and different, it's worth picking up, but if you're looking for actual arcade ports, better try some other compilation.

REVIEW
old school is here, but............... Ho-Hum, I enjoyed vol.1 more. I just wanted this one for the 1st STREET FIGHTER. Even though it's fairly pathetic in terms of graphics & gameplay compared to any of the SF2 series. I just don't understand why capcom didn't just put SF1 in SF: Anniversary collection as an unlockable. But anyway all the other games were pretty good to see and play again, at least there's a lot of 'em and thats always a good thing.
Sonic Mega Collection Plus is the gold-standard Sonic collection for gamers. It offers 20 Sonic games in all, from several different systems. Enjoy seven Sonic Genesis games, three Sonic & Knuckles "lock-on" games, four unlockable Genesis games, and six Sonic the Hedgehog Game Gear games. It also features four special bonus games: The Ooze, Comix Zone, Flicky, and Ristar. There's even a special Sonic museum filled with art, comics and more!
REVIEW
A great collection marred by some BAAAD choices First off: this is a collection of the Genesis and Game Gear Sonic games (minus Sonic CD, which is sorely missed). It's not going to be knocking your socks off with its graphics and music, and the only change that really impacts gameplay in the slightest is the ability to save anywhere (just as if you were using an emulator).
The games themselves are a mixed lot, but the primary attraction here is the four base Sonic games -- Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles -- which provide the kind of rip-snorting high-speed platforming action you just don't get outside of portables this generation. (Sonic Heroes is ample proof that not everything is better in 3-D.)
Unfortunately, some bonehead decided that most of the rest of the content should be locked -- on a COMPILATION! -- with ridiculous requirements. You don't unlock games by completing other games, or even by getting 100% completion in other games (Sonic 1 being one of the first games I recall that had a second, slightly different ending for getting 100%).
Nope. Youunlock the remaining games by simply selecting the unlocked ones off the menu repeatedly. You don't even have to play them. Select the game off the menu, quit immediately, select it again, quit immediately, repeat 20-30 times. The slow-loading, overteched main menu intro screen makes this even more of a chore.
Maddeningly, one of the locked games is Sonic 3 and Knuckles. Once you had both games about the only reason to even CONSIDER playing Sonic 3 alone was to see the original ending out of nostalgia; the locked-on version makes the original otherwise obsolete.
If you can get past that, though, the original four Sonic games alone are worth the (LOW) price of the title. You also get Sonic Spinball and Sonic 3-D Blast, neither of which really worked for me; the former was too frustrating and random and the latter just plain boring. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine is just Puyo Pop, though, hey, free Puyo Pop. There are a few Game Gear titles and a couple of miscellaneous games.
