Should be really reserved.
The physical console versions only contains "Sonic Origins", all the PLUS Content is only avaible via Download-Code. So the plus version will never avaible when Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo one day shut down there online services. A physical pc version isn't even avaible. The steam version also have the nasty Denuvo DRM, this also needs to be removed.
So yes, this game really needs to preserved.
I enjoyed this alot on Steam along with the Plus! content. I would love to get it here on GOG.
I didn't have a Sega Genesis growing up but I used to rent one along with several games from a then-local video game rental store in the early 90s when I was a teenager. I did have a Game Gear though and was glad to see a bunch of the Game Gear Sonic titles on Sonic Origins Plus!. It's also alot of fun going through Sonic 1, 2, 3 & Knuckles, and Sonic CD with different available characters. The story mode is also alot of fun though I haven't played all the way through it yet.
Sonic Origins... you know, I've been begging for years home ports of the mobile Sonic 1's and 2's Retro Engine ports ever since Taxman and Stealth gave us excellent ports of Sonic's original 16-bit adventures and hoping we could get the same treatment for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles one day. Well, wish granted by the monkey's paw...
There's no excuse for a collection of 30-something-year-old Sega Genesis games (I know they're based off the Retro Engine remasters, but these game were Genesis games originally) and Game Gear games to be locked by anti-consumer DRM like DENUVO and has a bad reputation of hindering performance of some games. Even console players are treated like second-class citizens when their respective releases does not come with everything on the disc or cartridge. Unlike Sonic Mania Plus, Sonic Origins Plus only comes with the base game while the rest of the DLC content (that should have been in the base game to begin with) is only given through a download voucher. Gee, thanks Sega...
As for the collection itself, it reeks of Sonic Twitter's "Better than nothing" hypocrisy since this collection feels like it offers the bare minimum to make it happen and some of the most egregious issues on top of it. The Story and Anniversary Mode are so redundant; the latter really could have been its own thing with the remastered features with a traditional lives system whereas the Story Mode should have been the "Easy Mode" without lives. That's not getting into how "Classic" Mode falsely advertises being the classic experience when it's not, it's just Anniversary Mode with a 4:3 aspect-ratio and lives, with all of the same gameplay and physics changes from the remastered version. Oh, but they'll preserve the original experience for the extra Game Gear games, which half of them range from being mid at best or hot garbage at worst. It doesn't even have Sonic Mania's CRT filters at all despite using a similar engine for the games themselves.
I been around majority of these Sonic games through out the years in some form. There's some new content mostly challenges and play as some Sonic characters in the games. Amy being the most recent playable character added. Also included as DLC is all twelve Game Gear Sonic games. The last time that happened was a particular version of Sonic Adventure on GameCube. I know some issues that weren't originally in these Sonic games are presented. Sonic 3 & Knuckles in particular replaced the soundtrack. Which might turn some people off. For what it's worth it's a lot of Sonic games for one price not bad.
Scooby-Doo MysteryUnlike its SNES counterpart, the Genesis version of Scooby-Doo Mystery is a point-and-click (or point-and-press button rather) adventure featuring two playable episodes of a typical scooby-doo cartoon.
Blake's Hotel - Daphne's Uncle Blake has invited the gang over to his hotel for a ski weekend.

Ha Ha Carnival - The gang arrives at an almost-deserted carvinal, looking for some fun. Soon enough Fred, Daphne and Velma get trapped in a pond when they go out in one of the rides. Not only that, someone has broken the rollercoaster tracks. Then an evil looking phantom clown has Scooby and Shaggy being chased all around the carnival. Another mystery for the pair to solve.
Both mysteries have Scooby and Shaggy on their own, collecting clues and putting them together. You control Shaggy mostly while Scooby just keeps him company.

Silent Hill 3Silent Hill 3 is the third installment in the Silent Hill series. Like the previous entries, Silent Hill 3 is a survival horror combining action-based combat and puzzle-solving, but is somewhat more combat-oriented than the preceding installments. The main character is able to side-step and block some attacks, but in general shares with the other protagonists of the series their relative ineptitude in combat.Trending Action Horror Science fiction Stealth Survival Mystery
