Sonic Mega Collection features twelve to fourteen complete games in one retail unit. This was followed by a new compilation for the PlayStation 2 and GameCube, Sonic Gems Collection, which included more obscure and rare Sonic games such as Sonic CD. The compilation was re-released with eight bonus games as Sonic Mega Collection Plus for PlayStation 2, Xbox, and Microsoft Windows. Sonic Mega Collection received positive critical reception, being recommended for its large library of titles, great emulation, and its cheap market price.
