December 6th. It was the last day to obtain SEGA Mega Drive and Genesis Classics. This was originally the only way to officially play SEGA's select Genesis games on PC through the use of their own emulator. The delist for both Sonic The Hedgehog's main-line Genesis games and this is equally sad.

To even play Sonic The Hedgehog's classics officially, you have to go through Sonic Origins which is *FINE.* It offers "Classic Mode" but really its just a downgrade from their Anniversary Version of the games. However, there are people who prefer to play the true original games without having to shill more money to SEGA. Which now is impossible to do it officially in their comfort of their own seat and this computer without emulating it.

At this point, its best to emulate it unofficially using a third-party emulator if you wish to continue playing it on PC without Sonic Origins.

Overall, its just sad we have to go to Sonic Origins to continue playing Sonic The Hedgehog's original line-up and the other Genesis games now unable to even be played without third-party emulation.

It would be a dream come true for SEGA to listen to their customers who gave them money in the first place and relist these games and the original forms of Sonic The Hedgehog including this game. However, that isn't gonna happen anytime soon.

I'm late, but for the people who still own this game and the other games, consider yourself lucky.

Removed Sonic games to force us buy Sonic Origins.

WHY TAKE IT DOWN
