Replaying the Mega Drive classics also means rediscovering Masato Nakamura's irresistible melodies, from Green Hill to the frenzied bosses. These chiptune themes, etched into a whole generation's memory, have lost none of their punch. A concentrate of a sonic golden age that you replay with undimmed pleasure.

"From the very first seconds"
A compilation gathering the blue hedgehog's adventures from the 16-bit era, from the ultra-fast platformer to the most unexpected spin-offs. Rediscovering these classics of pure speed delivers an immediate nostalgic pleasure, and the variety keeps curiosity alive. Each title keeps its original edge. Generous and polished, a box set ideal for (re)discovering a gaming icon.

"Obsessive"
Gathering the hedgehog's classics on one disc extends the pleasure of looping races well beyond a single episode. Charging through the loops, turning up the emeralds and aiming for a better run revives the game at once. Not every title has aged the same way, but this generosity of an anthology and this timeless speed keep an immediate pull for the nostalgic.
