When I played Sonic Mania, which is so beloved by the Sonic community, I finally realized that I just don't enjoy 2D Sonic very much. I've dabbled in Sonic 2 and 3 and feel like I ought to play them (best Sonic games, historically important, blah blah blah) but I don't have any plans to anymore because I just don't think I will like them very much.
Illusion Island seems like your kind of game! I'm still planning to get Tears of the Kingdom, at some point.
Cannot disagree with you more on Sonic 3D Blast. I played that game on the Sonic collection on the GameCube back in the day and powered through it so that I'd never need to touch it again (these days I'd never hate-play a game like that lol). I felt like I was sliding around the whole time and could not tell where stuff was for jumping.
Man, the Vectorman games are so dull, especially now that the technology of it is no longer impressive.
That's really cool that they have unreleased and Sega CD games on there. I wish they included Snatcher!
I really like Treasure games and bought that Genesis collection on the PS4 a few years ago because (I think) it was the first time the game was available in the US (there was a PAL version back in the day, maybe?). It's very good but yes, quite hard. I've never played Elemental Master but I do really like the music in that game.
Ooh, Herzog Zwei. Yeah, I bet it is impenetrable today but that would be interesting to see such an early RTS. I bet Super Mario World is not expensive for an SNES cart. They made so many of those.
Cool! Glad to hear that your collection is growing nicely. I love old games but between the restraints of time and money I have had to kind of let go of seeking out old games. If I ever play through the old games I have already, maybe I'll look into getting some more!
If only all divorces involved firing combustible nectar at giant wasp robots 
So many games! O_O Do you like the Xevious style of having to bomb enemies on the ground? I always preferred being able to shoot everything with my main weapon.
I never hear anyone talk about this game! The stuff about the animals sounds very cool. Hopefully I'll get to try it sometime.
It does a good job of keeping things interesting and making sure the two players actually have to cooperate, rather than just doing the same thing together. I don't know how these two characters are going to work out their marriage by the end of this though. That part is not going real well
