Damn 2002??!!
but yeah I had alot of nostalgic memories with this one ever since i got this as a christmas present (or i think on my birthday in 2003) i loved every single bit of it, loved the extras menu music and still bump it to this day from time to time lol
Coming from owning only Sonic 1, 2 and Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 back then, this whole collection was a huge treat as a fan of the series that never played all of it's games nor owned before outside the ones i'd mentioned.
Sonic 3D Blast took me time to get used it's controls at first when i first played it but once i got the hang of it every visit i'd end up loving it more than i have to admit.
loved the random extras like Flicky, Ristar (another favorite of mines), Blue Sphere, Knuckles in Sonic 2, and Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine.
Even the Sonic archie comics i've never heard or ever seen before till this collection came thru.
so yeah thank you SEGA for the idea of creating this and the memories i had with this one, appreciate it!
