This is the weaker bundle of course when comparing to Sonic Mega Collection, but has some "Gems" which deem it worthy of playing.

Of course the main course is Sonic CD, Sonic R, Sonic the Fighters, to start with Game that everyone hates after watching Jontron's Video on Sonic R.

So to be honest, I am the polar opposite of the general opinion on Sonic R with the controls (the main "issues" with the game), now I will agree that they're unorthodox if you played something like Mario Kart but let give my in depth thoughts on it.

The controls are fine, just look at tilting the stick as soft turning and pushing the triggers for sharper turns

The constant hitting walls doesn't really hinder you at all, yeah you bounce but it not really frustrated me at all

The real issues are the lack of tracks (because of the horrible time crunch the developers had to endure)

Sonic R is solid and shouldn't be judge too hard

and for Sonic the Fighters, it's cool. I came for Sonic R & I already have Sonic CD on Steam

Also Tail's Adventure was fun

Foi aqui que nasceu o meu amor pela franquia.

Fairly solid collection for some of the lesser-known, experimental and weird Sonic games from the 90's, spent an ungodly amount of time in Sonic R as a kid because it's so comfy.
Only problem is that Knuckles Chaotix is missing despite having all the artwork there for it.

Solid collection, introduced me to sonic and it had the US soundtrack on CD so Sonic booom sonic boooom
