I've come to make you feel good.

More Curve? Hell yes. Awesome lyrics in this track, too (as if you expected any different). ~_^

I bought Sonic Mega Collection today. It was a great buy, save for a few problems. For one thing, the emulation is a bit shifty in some areas (most noteably the music). And some of the extras are deceptively crappy.

For instance, there is a video menu which has a video called "History of Sonic". So here I was, preparing for a documentary with some cool interviews and stuff. But no. All I get is a quick and crappy splicing of Sonic clips, which don't even include all of the Sonic games. V_V

Oh and, my biggest frustration with this collection?

It includes the beginning and ending videos for Sonic CD, but does not include the actual game!

Why has Sega never included this title in any of their compilations, even though it's often regarded as the best of the 2D games? Argh. Someone at Sega/Atari needs to be slapped with a particularly large trout.

Although the games themselves are great, you just get the sense that the whole thing wasn't put together by someone who really loves and understands Sonic. You know? Sure, you get artwork. And you get the original manuals and all that stuff. But seriously, there so much more stuff they could have included - even little things - that aren't hard to do. It sucks that they missed the opportunity to create a really definitive Sonic collection.

Oh well. Maybe one day someone (Sega or otherwise) will get it right. We can only hope. ~_^

I will write a more substantial update when I can think of something that is worth discussing. Yeah.

Edit: Go to Naughtiness' page and check out all of her cool bits and pieces. By that I mean, the cool images she has made. ~_^
