I’ve reviewed a number of compilations here at IGN, and none have brought about a flood of nostalgia like Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection. When I see Kid Chameleon, I’m playing it in a living room packed with friends waiting to go to my birthday and declaring that this is one of the toughest games of all time. When I see the character select screen for Golden Axe, I’m sitting on the edge of my bed and using the cheapo strategy of walking enemies into a pit so I don’t have to fight them. When the Sonic the Hedgehog music starts up, I’m hot-dogging though the lava pits in Marble Zone Act II while my friends marvel at my moves and my mom chastises me for being a showoff.

Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection is my childhood on a disc.

There are 40 SEGA Genesis titles as well as nine SEGA Master System and arcade games in this collection, and if you grew up in a SEGA-lovin’ house like I did, many of these games are going to bring back warm and fuzzy memories. I’ll never forget punching through Streets of Rage in my basement with Michael Boylan or seeing Ecco the Dolphin on display in Toys R Us, and thanks to this collection, I can relive those moments whenever I feel like turning on my Xbox 360.
