Yup I gone done it and finally got my arse to play the OG Sonic Trilogy and yup I am somewhat mixed. Sonic 1 aged like doodoo. Sonic 2 is a game to learn from. and Sonic 3&K is a long ass game with levels you either love or despise. Regardless, it is absolutely my favorite of the three and something I wouldn't mind replaying sometime this year.
It was an interesting experience to play the games close enough to original hardware without a Genesis. And especially with no widescreen involved as prior to this, I had only ever played the games by their remastered ports that update and make the game have more image.
And honestly if you ever wanted to play the games close enough without a Genesis I recommend it. And if not, it's still great too with alot of the DVD quality Special Features it boosts. Being one of the first really modern collections to have such material. You get the American and Japanese manuals for the games, The Sonic CD cutscenes before being touched apon for the Sega CD (do look into it, it's interesting), Commericals from Japan for Sonic Games plus the OVA, the ability to listen to the respective games' soundtracks, and a entire History to Sonic up til 1997. Which that part reminds me of when Nintendo did the same for Kirby in that Wii Kirby 20th Anniversary Collection, except this was done in 1997. In a time before rereleases 24/7 nontheless.
And all of this, in Sonic Jam's own Sonic World. A interactive 3D hub where all of these Special Features are located. A very interesting way of going about it rather than just having it be by navigating a menu. Sadly, the Mission List thing is pretty dang short once you master the world, but you still stick around for those Special Features.
In my opinion, without a doubt a must burn/emulate it for the Saturn. Because if you go trying to buy a legit copy, you'd realize, "if I paid double, could have purchased Panzer Dragoon Saga instead."
It's a good time all around.
