Shame it was rushed to begin with, but nice to see they are listening and want to fix the errors of the collection.

Omg. I never played this game, but I read people saying while it was not perfect, it was playable and amusing.

Now I see the bugs they corrected and some are petty/cosmetical but others are very critical, specially many getting the player stuck, preventing progression or save corrupting...

I wonder how many bugs are still left to correct...

The craziest thing is that the mobile ports of 1,2, and CD already exist and for free with ads(ads that aren't even that annoying btw, beat sonic cd in one night) and are amazing ways to play them.

Glad they fixed it. I still feel it is overpriced for a digital only game with games from when I was born. Sonic Mania was much more reasonable with its pricing. Sad that Sega treats the devs of mania this bad and doesn't allow them to make a sequel.
