The Sonic Mega Collection on Gamecube, in the eyes of long-standing Sonic fans, was almost as mega as could be hoped for. So when Sega confirmed the Sonic Mega Collection Plus for PS2, there were plenty of interested Cube-less gamers keen to bolster their game libraries with some comprehensive retro hedgehog delights.

However, this PS2 anthology, due out in the States in November, will take the collection to the next level. The "Plus" bit in the title apparently refers to a handful of non-Sonic games thrown in for good measure. What’s more, they’re all good Megadrive games that haven’t been re-released before, and arguably never received the recognition they deserved in the first place.

So, here’s the revised content list for Sonic Mega Collection Plus. For the price of a single game, it’s undeniably good value, especially for those of us that would have shelled out £40 and more for just one of these titles a decade ago.

Game Gear titles:
Sonic The Hedgehog
Sonic Chaos
Sonic Drift
Sonic Labyrinth
Sonic Blast
Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine

Megadrive titles:
Sonic The Hedgehog 1, 2 & 3
Sonic & Knuckles (including the lock-on variants)
Sonic 3D Blast
Sonic Spinball
Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine

"Plus" Megadrive titles:
Comix Zone
Flicky
The Ooze
Ristar
