This is truly the pinnacle of ports and the only way you should be playing Sonic CD.
In my opinion, Sonic CD is one of the most under appreciated games in the whole franchise and deserves to be compared to the classic Mega Drive games. Stages are large, with more variety thanks to the time travel mechanic, fun to explore and satisfying to complete in as little time as possible when you know them well. Typical qualities you would expect from a good Sonic game. Boss battles also seem more inspired and unique compared to other games, and while I appreciate the change in formula there are times where a more traditional boss battle would've been appreciated (*cough*collision chaos *cough*) The time travel mechanic, while interesting can become cumbersome, since time travel posts can only be activated once and due to the sporadic level designs it can be very difficult to maintain momentum for long enough. This can be problematic since getting the good ending requires you to travel to the past to destroy machines hidden in each level. Luckily the game gives you two chances to achieve the good ending by having more traditional special stages you can enter with 50 rings at the end of the act to collect the 7 time stones. This port includes nice features such as time trails, and being able to play as Tails, with new unique animations and sprites. There is also an option to switch between the Japanese and US soundtracks, which is the best thing ever. The camera has also been panned back for better visibility which did wonders in the mobile Sonic ports and is no different here, especially with the larger and more chaotic level design. So, to conclude, Sonic CD gets too bad a rep and if you have any interest in trying it out buy this port. There really isn't a Sonic game quite like it.

Arguably the best game in the Wolfenstein fanchise.
A simple yet fun FPS with a great ost and some decent challenge without being too frustrating definitely puts RTCW amongst my favourite games of all time, and I'd recommend it to anyone who has enjoyed any kind of FPS before. The only downfall is that multiplayer mode doesn't seem to work anymore which I would've loved to experience, along with some compatibility issues on more modern operating systems. Either way I'd pick this game up, especially on sale. A classic.
