Great video. I have both, I prefer Sonic's Genesis Collection because of the unlockables. Unlocking the interviews and arcade games made it feel special.
You took the words right outta my mouth. Sega Genesis Classics has a few more games than Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection, but the latter has better games. But its the unlockable arcade and Master System games that put it over the top. The interviews and back stories for each game is also a nice touch. IMO Sega totally botched Genesis Classics.
Me too because it felt more Sega love with some great surprises compared to mostly just the games. I still say the PC version of Sega Genesis Classics which includes five more Genesis games is better than it's console counterpart. Which I recently gotten as well as every achievement within a day. Not only that, I prefer the game selection screen as well.
@@metallicnole4514 Well Sonic Origins comes out in like a week & it has Sonic 1, 2, 3 & Knuckles AND Sonic CD AND also includes the ability to play as Tails or Knuckles in Sonic 1 & Sonic CD (which is a new feature). So it's worth picking up!!
We need Sega Dreamcast Classics and it should have... 1. Power Stone 1&2 2. Zombie Revenge 3. Virtua Fighter 3tb 4. Mortal Kombat Gold 5. Ready 2 Rumble Boxing (1&2)
I've said this. The PS3 Sega collection is the definitive version to EVER purchase. I bought it day 1 and always warm the system up and play it from time to time.
@@solefreak2 the ps4 genesis collection does yes, not the ps3 one lol I loved that ps3 one, so classic, the new one too but that ps3 one just felt special when I played it back then, the ps4 one of course probably the go to version now as it’s playable on modern consoles
Not including arcade unlockables was a big mistake for any of us older gamers who played Congo Bongo and Zaxxon in the arcade. Too many great memories.
Great review! I bought the game too here in England. It’s partially worth the cost. I’m not too impressed with the selection but I’m hoping for a dlc to offer us a back catalog. I hit the subscribe button, by the way.
I own them all...PS2, PS3, PS4, and the official Genesis mini. The best overall game selection is on the PS3 Ultimate Genesis collection!! Look how many games they took off the PS4 collection compared to PS3! No Ristar?! No Sonic 3?! Any compilation that doesn't include Sonic 3 goes down a peg in my opinion. The mini is the best only if you mod it to add another 50-100 games.
When I was a kid. My family got a computer that had the genesis collection emulated on it already. It was a great time for me, but as a kid, I just played them and never really completed any. There could be a lot of reasons for that, but point is I wanna get it again. However, I noticed some of the collection don't have all the games that I had on it. So, if any of you guys can help, can y'all: 1. Tell me if I can emulate it on my laptop. 2. If I can't, tell me which of the console collections are more bang for my buck. Hopefully, I can I find it before y'all answer, cause I'm itching for some Sparkster, or Robocop, and cool spot!
Maybe a little late but you emulate pretty much all the games included in both collections though you might need to see which Genesis emulator would work best, and I personally prefer the Ultimate Collection though Classics is still a fun enough time.
Fun fact: The version of Sega Genesis Classics on Steam includes the omitted Sonic 3 and Knuckles as well as all 3 Ecco titles on the Genesis (Ecco the Dolphin, Tides of Time, and Ecco Jr.) However, bonus content is still lacking, so if that's what you are interested in, I'd say don't bother wasting money on it
As an owner of both games, I really enjoyed UGC's unlockable arcade/SMS titles. It made me feel like I was earning those games as I went along. Classics has some great pixel scaling options that give the games a huge graphical facelift. The borders, game room customizations and GUI are all well-designed, and Classics gets a win in that column. 1000 Gamerscore came quite easy in UGC, but the challenges feature in Classics really tests your mettle and disables rewind and fast-forwarding (so no cheating). It also has what I think is overall the better game library - with a few notable exceptions, of course. Sega Genesis Classics has the better Achievements/Trophies list in my opinion. If you've read this far, you'll probably realize that I quite like both! Nice video.
I'll play Sega Genesis Classics over Ultimate Collection anyday. It has all of the games that I want which include The Revenge of Shinobi, Wonder Boy in Monster World, Gunstar Heroes, and Bare Knuckle III.
If they combine what the Sega Genesis Collection has with things like the room, with unlockables like those from Sonic UGC with arcade titles, Master System games and interviews. And of course, all the Sega games with a few 3rd party titles, and I would gladly buy it.
An "Arcade Classics Collection" would be a nice companion piece to go with the "SEGA Genesis Classics" collection. It could feature all the unlockable arcade titles from the PS2/PSP/PS3 versions of the SEGA Genesis collection, plus throw in "Carnival" "Star Trek" "Monster Bash" & a host of other SEGA arcade games that haven't seen the light of day on a modern console.
Yeah... Sonic Ultimate Genesis is way WAY better than Sega Genesis Classic. It feels way more personal than let’s say the Sega Genesis Classic. Also my favorite part of Sonic Ultimate Genesis is the Extras.
I got it for Space Harrier arcade. Which I guess is an extra. An extra that's more powerful than any Genesis game hehe. Back in the day you needed a 32X adapter to play it.
The reasonwhy we haven't got Sonic 3 & Knuckles ported in most of 2010's decade is because the legal rights of Michael Jackson and his sound team. Michael Jackson and the rest of his team are involved in some of the tracks in Sonic 3.
I'm fine with my PS3 Sega Genesis Collection thanks. I think the unlockables, like the game developer documentaries of how they made their games are a little neat touch. Plus, I don't own a PS4 unfortenatly, but I am happy with my PS3 anyways. Plus, I am glad that Sega actualy did this for newer generations of gamers. I remember playing Sega Genesis at my friends place, when I was younger and having to play these retro games nowdays feels both nostalgic and really great. I haven't played retro or 16-bit games for a long time, the only games I remember playing from that era was Ecco The Dolphin, The Flinstrones and Tiny Toon Adentures on the Genesis. Such good childhood memories, plus Sega Genesis was a console that pretty much introduced me to gaming in the first place. :D
The Steam Version of this included more games. I wish we had a definitive collection because every time they release a collection it removes some games that were in previous ones. They should add with every re-release, NOT take away.
@@NotArmani30 The PS3/360 collection included games like Sonic 3, Sonic & Knuckles and even some Master System games as unlockables. It's the only collection where you can play all four Phantasy Star games.
Sega Genesis Classics is better on PC since you got a few more games and you can play with rom hacks. But I do like the extra stuff in Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection as well. I really enjoy playing both these compilations.
Great Video, I honestly prefer this over the PS2 & PS3 compilations not including S3&K isn't a big deal to me as I own the Sonic MCP on my PS2. All games look and play great on it I haven't ran into any issues & for 30 dollars this was a great buy. All that matters to me is I can play my most favorite Genesis Classics on my PS4 finally. So imo this compilation makes the PS2/PSP & PS3 one obsolete
Thanks for the kind words! And glad you enjoyed it too. I do agree it was still well worth it for the price. Here's hoping they add more games to it down the line!
Looks great, Revenge of the Shinobi is why I want this. I have to say the PS2 version had the best interface and let's you look at the different region box art. They also made the Phantasy Star games easier to get through with stuff like fast walking. I wonder they did that in this PS4 version.
On Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection on Sonic The Hedgehog 2&3 it won't let us play as Knuckles on Sonic The Hedgehog 2&3 that is why I am buying me the Sonic Mega Collection Plus original xbox game and the best part about that I could play original xbox games on my xbox 360 and plus Sonic Mega Collection let you play as Knuckles on Sonic The Hedgehog 2&3 but I am still buying the Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection because it haves mostly all the classic Sega video games.
I have enjoyed the video you produced. For Shinning Force I and II alone it is worth the price. I prefer the original for my Sega system but the price of each cartridge is going for double the price online. Enjoyed your positive attitude and yet your nipping on the product tells me that you are not a push order to rate on games always positive I am hoping. It is good that you discovered some of the original Final Phantasy games so that your historical knowledge of games increases.
I'm with you on having a good Sega Saturn collection. But 32X? C'mon, that's like asking why there's no Phillips CDi or Virtual Boy collection. Sega CD had a few good titles, but probably not enough to justify having a collection all to itself.
Haha, that's an absolutely fair point, and I know most people hated the 32X (with a few exceptions like Knuckles Chaotix). It's one of those things I'd hope to see included in a bigger collection with stuff from other platforms as well. But I know I'm completely in the minority opinion on that one.
For something that is called ultimate it sure has the least amount of games on it lol. Still these editions are pretty much the cheapest options current market are available to even have a physical copy off. All the Retro Games have risen in value but the Sega Genesis and Mega Drive more so cause they were much more limited. I would not be surprised even these will rise to higher prices to get later down the road.
I own both compilations and now not long ago, I gotten every achievements in both of them as well. I do prefer Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection for the unlockables as well as some facts they tell. I also liked we get to see each game's cartridge, manual and cover artwork. Although, Sega Genesis Classics does have a few things over it. I just felt they cared more for that compilation.
They need to add more games, doesn't seem worth it for me, cuz I own the older one, and also it's too much, $20 max would be good which it will be pretty soon.
Lack of NBA Jam, Yu Yu Hakusho, Sonic 3 and Knuckles, Monster World IV, Mickey Mania, Street Fighter II, Castlevania Blood Lines, Contra Hard Corps, MegaMan The Wily Wars, OutRun, Aladdin, Ghouls N' Ghosts, Ecco, Earthworm Jim and Alisa Dragoon really ruins this collection. Guess I'll wait until Sega gets it right next time.
They could have included a few of the best first party Saturn games or at least the few good Sega cd or 32x games(there weren't but a couple for each)so it wouldn't have been a whole lot to add.And just call it Sega greatest.
Bottom line, I’m getting the ps4 collection or streets of rage 3 cartridge for my genesis. EDIT: I lost my 360 ultimate collection so now I cant play streets of rage 3, I already have 1 ,2 and 4.
I miss the extra in old version. But don’t know which have more. But miss some games of old one but some change games are good. Bad changes: I miss eco and columns 2 and award 2good changes: phansey star series, just jam game and award kind of fun. But room feel look creepy and scare. Like at least have jokes about mom come in room to see and being alone. Had to be alone too very much. And dlc had no happen yet.
Wait, hold on a minute! I have the Nintendo Switch version of Sega Genesis Classics, and it doesn't have any of the Wonder Boy titles on it. The list of games ends at Virtua Fighter 2. And while we are on the subject of games that didn't make the cut, where the hell is Super Hang-On? I have not seen that appear in anywhere in a Genesis compilation since the 6-Pak cart released in 1996.
I sorta wish they would add like the sega addons like sonic cd for example especially since sonic cd as far as i know is only on PC and android and not everyone wants to play on a phone or a tablet
0:13 like old one better, have better, and i think more too. new one just got to lay off. the maker did not look at sage history as well as other maker did or do. and the priz you get in old game are much beter after getting done with mission. new one just have pitcher but better misson ojnly sad part. ya over all love new new one but old one way better.
I was tempted to by this but seeing it doesn't have echo or Sonic 3 and Sonic and knuckles made me go wow yet again they wonder why people illegally use emulators.
More than half a year later, any patch updates to fix the latency? I'm looking at pulling the trigger on PSN sale, but concerned if the games don't run smooth as they should...
There was a 1.04 update a few months back, that helped with some of the game stuttering issues. As far as I know, all of the remaining issues (like the audio bug, etc.) are still intact. :(
Just subscribed thank u i was wondering about this sega genesis ultimate collection but its it the same titles qs the sega mega drive ultimate collection lol
@@JDOmnislash oh ok :) thank you for the reply back i got the psp mega drive instead of the genesis. The genesis i have a empty case for the psp maybe one day will find the umd but everything is getting harder to find and prices are stupidly going up here in Canada for everything lol
I prefere sega genesis collection, emulation id better and haver on online mode, and you can go back in timeand move forward which is a revolutionary thing.
My only complaint about the game is that if the sonic games were the remastered versions for ios/Android, it would be a much better experience then the original versions, but I will take what I can because the game is already released, so there is nothing that I can literally do now. (Unless this gets attention and becomes fixed in future) That's final, Period. #Fixthegamepls
It's confusing, but they're actually two different games, that BOTH start with the title "Monster Boy III." I had to read a whole article on the differences.
@@JDOmnislash Ok thanks! So whatever games I choose as favorites I can manually arrange myself where they go or I can only put them at the top of the list then right?
Sonic games, and the right to use hacked roms through Steams service, is why the Steam edition is the one to get. Fan translated Bare Knuckle 3, 1.0.0. Revenge of Shinobi, Sonic 3 Complete, and NTSC 60fps Alien Soldier.
Between the two, I'd say that you could probably tweak the settings for nicer emulation with a Raspberry Pi 3, but the collection does have the rewind and fast-forward feature, which makes it a little more unique than just a typical save state option.
There are some settings in the PS4 collection to help with the visual touches. The PS3 collection did a good job with the presentation, right off the bat, but the added features in the PS4 setup helped a lot! (That's not including the online mode though, of course.)
I really hope we see that come back at some point. Strangely enough, they've been included with those AtGames plug and play systems, yet they still don't appear in these collections. Grr!
Would love to be a fly on the wall at these boardroom meetings when these discussions are had. "Gentlemen and Danielle, we need a new way to cash in on those nostalgia Sega bucks from millennials." "-You mean give them 40% of what they want, excluding Aladdin, Alien 3, Road Rash 2, Batman Returns, Earth Worm Jim, Urban Assault and the knuckles add-ons for the Sonic 1-3 games?" "Yeah, fuck it. Jerry's right. Worked in the past. ....eh, humm. Gents, I'm going to need to work out some, uh...details with Danielle, the rest of you get the fuck out of here. That's better. Now how bout some...quality time? Think my lobby could use a good buffing." "-I'm such a lucky lady." "Oh yeah. Come on. Ah...fuck yeah. Yeah, work it just like that. Fucking hell. I love how you do that." "-Thank you. By the way, since I have you, I want to be paid $0.70 on the dollar to my male colleagues. It's only fair when you take into account the fact I take more sick days, longer sick days, dont work the same number of hours, am less likely to travel and do the more dangerous tasks around here. To say nothing of the fact I can become pregnant and contribute ZERO to this company's bottom line for many consecutive months." "I...CAaaaAame to the same conclusion there, honey ass." Bet it goes down exactly like that.
I wish that Sega would have added unlockables and more games. I also hope to get a Sega Dreamcast and Saturn collection in the future.
Agreed on every account! Sega Saturn is especially long overdue.
JDOmnislash yes, but the Saturn has always been seen as very hard to emulate because the hardware itself was a confusing mess
@「 PedroxTheBest 」.The Sega classics collection on ps2.

There is already a Dreamcast collection
Great video. I have both, I prefer Sonic's Genesis Collection because of the unlockables. Unlocking the interviews and arcade games made it feel special.

Definitely. I noticed World of Illusion was on the Sega Genesis Mini, which was something, but I'd obviously love it on Switch, too.
I own both compilations and now not long ago, I gotten every achievements in both of them as well. I do prefer Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection for the unlockables as well as some facts they tell. I also liked we get to see each game's cartridge, manual and cover artwork. Although, Sega Genesis Classics does have a few things over it. I just felt they cared more for that compilation.
there is an option in settings to speed up cpu did u try that and see if it fixes the slowdown.? it says may cause other graphical issues though
Thanks, I'll give that a shot.
JDOmnislash sorry had only played for bit then went to work the option i was thinking about was a sprite limit option so disregard what i said haha
Ah, no worries!
They need to add more games, doesn't seem worth it for me, cuz I own the older one, and also it's too much, $20 max would be good which it will be pretty soon.
Yeah, for what you get here, that seems more than fair.
oasisbeyond got mine 19.99 today psn store. Holiday sale if you have psplus
I hope someday they make the ultimate Dreamcast collection with memory save 60fps
Here's hoping!
@@JDOmnislash Dreamcast Collection has four games? The bundle on Steam is a little bigger. But we Sega fans deserve more than that.
Phantasy Star 1 is a good reason to keep Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection around.
Fully agreed! I've also heard the new Switch version is excellent, too.
The fast forward helps with grinding in the included JRPGs
True! I discovered that by accident when playing Phantasy Star IV, and now I can't imagine playing without it.
No Alisia dragoon why what happened to that game such a great game super underrated
Glad some people still remember it! I'd have liked to see it too.
I wish Sega can just Release All Classic Sonic The Hedgehog Games on PS4, Xbox one and Switch. or for the next new consoles.
Well I guess ima just purchase genesis collection again and wait for a price drop on this game
Yeah. The price it goes for now is pretty good for what you get, but I'm sure it'll drop even more soon, if it hasn't already.
Lack of NBA Jam, Yu Yu Hakusho, Sonic 3 and Knuckles, Monster World IV, Mickey Mania, Street Fighter II, Castlevania Blood Lines, Contra Hard Corps, MegaMan The Wily Wars, OutRun, Aladdin, Ghouls N' Ghosts, Ecco, Earthworm Jim and Alisa Dragoon really ruins this collection. Guess I'll wait until Sega gets it right next time.
Listening to this trying to get a ringer in horseshoes on red dead 1. That being said I enjoyed the PS4 collection.
I can't play my game.. it runs by it self what am i doing wrong
I'm pretty sure that the fast-forward was meant for RPG grinding.
I think so too. It worked wonders for Shining Force!
They could have included a few of the best first party Saturn games or at least the few good Sega cd or 32x games(there weren't but a couple for each)so it wouldn't have been a whole lot to add.And just call it Sega greatest.
I'd have been SO down for that!
6:20 wow, "baffling". Such a strong word for something that's anything but baffling, especially in the year of our Lord 2020.
Well, sure, though I did make this video about two years ago, haha. Feels like a lifetime ago, now.
Bottom line, I’m getting the ps4 collection or streets of rage 3 cartridge for my genesis.
EDIT: I lost my 360 ultimate collection so now I cant play streets of rage 3, I already have 1 ,2 and 4.
Eh, they’ll make another one in a decade or half
No lies detected, haha.
JDOmnislash let ke, man I’m shaggy I’m beyond omnipotent I can see the future I’m giving you dear mortals a sign for the future
I miss the extra in old version. But don’t know which have more. But miss some games of old one but some change games are good. Bad changes: I miss eco and columns 2 and award 2good changes: phansey star series, just jam game and award kind of fun. But room feel look creepy and scare. Like at least have jokes about mom come in room to see and being alone. Had to be alone too very much. And dlc had no happen yet.
Wait, hold on a minute! I have the Nintendo Switch version of Sega Genesis Classics, and it doesn't have any of the Wonder Boy titles on it. The list of games ends at Virtua Fighter 2. And while we are on the subject of games that didn't make the cut, where the hell is Super Hang-On? I have not seen that appear in anywhere in a Genesis compilation since the 6-Pak cart released in 1996.
Hi! This was actually made before the Switch version came out, so that could have to do with it. Agreed about the rest.
I sorta wish they would add like the sega addons like sonic cd for example especially since sonic cd as far as i know is only on PC and android and not everyone wants to play on a phone or a tablet
Or the easy way to compare Sonic ultimate Genesis collection is that it has S3K and sega Genesis collection doesn't.
0:13 like old one better, have better, and i think more too. new one just got to lay off. the maker did not look at sage history as well as other maker did or do. and the priz you get in old game are much beter after getting done with mission. new one just have pitcher but better misson ojnly sad part. ya over all love new new one but old one way better.
No RISTAR on the genesis collection only on the mega drive collection
have they added golden axe revenge of death adder ???
Unfortunately, no. It's probably one of the most requested games to get a re-release too. :(
man if they did, i would of got this collection in heart beat
this collection have vixen 357 game ???
Unfortunately not. I've always wanted to play that in English.
@@JDOmnislash me too :(
10:05 best thing ever.
I don't have a 360 so... No sonic 3 for me
I was tempted to by this but seeing it doesn't have echo or Sonic 3 and Sonic and knuckles made me go wow yet again they wonder why people illegally use emulators.
More than half a year later, any patch updates to fix the latency? I'm looking at pulling the trigger on PSN sale, but concerned if the games don't run smooth as they should...
There was a 1.04 update a few months back, that helped with some of the game stuttering issues. As far as I know, all of the remaining issues (like the audio bug, etc.) are still intact. :(
I would say PS3 collection. As it has Sonic 3 & Knuckles. They can do nothing to that old game anymore.
Deveria ter como escolher e comprar mais jogos, tem muita porcaria nesta coleção ai.
I have Playstation 3 I like
Just subscribed thank u i was wondering about this sega genesis ultimate collection but its it the same titles qs the sega mega drive ultimate collection lol
Thank you! And yes, I believe they're the same, just named differently due to the regions.
@@JDOmnislash oh ok :) thank you for the reply back i got the psp mega drive instead of the genesis. The genesis i have a empty case for the psp maybe one day will find the umd but everything is getting harder to find and prices are stupidly going up here in Canada for everything lol
How do u get sonic 3 & knuckles on the Nintendo sega genesis classics?
I prefere sega genesis collection, emulation id better and haver on online mode, and you can go back in timeand move forward which is a revolutionary thing.
And if you connect the computer, you can play games for ir.
Yeah, it's useful, for sure. Especially with RPGs, when you want to fast forward the random battles.
@@JDOmnislash yes
My only complaint about the game is that if the sonic games were the remastered versions for ios/Android, it would be a much better experience then the original versions, but I will take what I can because the game is already released, so there is nothing that I can literally do now. (Unless this gets attention and becomes fixed in future) That's final, Period. #Fixthegamepls
I would LOVE to see those enhancements added. They'd work wonders for Sonic 1, especially.
O:04 oh no we know where this going to many. Get more midway
Wonder Boy 3 Monster Liar?
It wasn't called Dragon's Trap?
It's confusing, but they're actually two different games, that BOTH start with the title "Monster Boy III." I had to read a whole article on the differences.
Sega Genesis Classics has horrible input lag
It really does. Even now, sadly.
Does it?
3:45 So can you actually rearrange where the games go yourself or does it only let you choose between alphabetized, release date, etc.?
I believe it's just alphabetical, but they also allow you to place your favorites at the top, which you can rearrange with a little effort.
@@JDOmnislash Ok thanks! So whatever games I choose as favorites I can manually arrange myself where they go or I can only put them at the top of the list then right?
I think they stack as you select each one, though I'd have to test it again later to confirm.
If they can't properly emulate genesis. Than saga cd and definitely Saturns not gonna happen and if it dose it's not gonna be perfect
Sad, but true...
I mean the least they can do is make a Master System compilation.
Sonic games, and the right to use hacked roms through Steams service, is why the Steam edition is the one to get.
Fan translated Bare Knuckle 3, 1.0.0. Revenge of Shinobi, Sonic 3 Complete, and NTSC 60fps Alien Soldier.
So far, so true.
What's better emulated, this or running a core on Raspberry Pi 3?
Between the two, I'd say that you could probably tweak the settings for nicer emulation with a Raspberry Pi 3, but the collection does have the rewind and fast-forward feature, which makes it a little more unique than just a typical save state option.
I never had any latency or lag problems
In PC you have more games, and you can use mods.
Definitely the best of both worlds, I agree!
@@JDOmnislash Still, why not even S&K in that collection on PlayStation/XBox...
Yeah, it's a mystery. If it wasn't on anything, that would have been one issue, but the fact that it IS on PC just raises even more questions.
@@JDOmnislash S&K music was not even made by MJ... i think.
is there any graphics difference? like something that makes the games look better on the ps4 version?
There are some settings in the PS4 collection to help with the visual touches. The PS3 collection did a good job with the presentation, right off the bat, but the added features in the PS4 setup helped a lot!
(That's not including the online mode though, of course.)
@@JDOmnislash , I have a ps360 and a up to date pc, but no PS4.
@@marcosladarense Oh, okay. You can still get it for PC, too!
I mean I'm not seeing any Streets of rage..1 2 or 3 like the sonic version on ps3......Do they have it
Thankfully, yes, they are included. It also has online co-op, though I've heard people have mixed opinions on it.
no mortal kombat boo!
I really hope we see that come back at some point. Strangely enough, they've been included with those AtGames plug and play systems, yet they still don't appear in these collections. Grr!
L4Disillusion that's exactly what I am saying man.. why ,why,and whyyyyyy? 😭. They should of put more fighting games
How do i unlock my ultimate shonobi arcade???
For Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection? I believe you have to beat the first level of Shinobi III, without using any continues to unlock it.
@@JDOmnislash yes cant wait
Would love to be a fly on the wall at these boardroom meetings when these discussions are had.
"Gentlemen and Danielle, we need a new way to cash in on those nostalgia Sega bucks from millennials."
"-You mean give them 40% of what they want, excluding Aladdin, Alien 3, Road Rash 2, Batman Returns, Earth Worm Jim, Urban Assault and the knuckles add-ons for the Sonic 1-3 games?"
"Yeah, fuck it. Jerry's right. Worked in the past.
....eh, humm. Gents, I'm going to need to work out some, uh...details with Danielle, the rest of you get the fuck out of here.
That's better. Now how bout some...quality time?
Think my lobby could use a good buffing."
"-I'm such a lucky lady."
"Oh yeah.
Come on. Ah...fuck yeah.
Yeah, work it just like that.
Fucking hell.
I love how you do that."
"-Thank you. By the way, since I have you, I want to be paid $0.70 on the dollar to my male colleagues. It's only fair when you take into account the fact I take more sick days, longer sick days, dont work the same number of hours, am less likely to travel and do the more dangerous tasks around here. To say nothing of the fact I can become pregnant and contribute ZERO to this company's bottom line for many consecutive months."
"I...CAaaaAame to the same conclusion there, honey ass."
Bet it goes down exactly like that.
why don't you have sonic 3 and Sonic and knucles?
Not included in the collection, unfortunately. Though it is still available on Steam!
