I really wish they were available for the Switch or PS4, as I no longer have access to my PS3 or Dreamcast.

Both are good games. 1 is janky but the atmosphere, music and super campy story and voice acting should make it fun. Adventure 2 still holds up pretty well honestly, some jank but it plays competently enough. For $2 you're getting some pretty decently sized games. Ignore Chao's in 1 and in 2 that's a huge side game that can eat up HOURS.

My two favorite games in the series.

I still maintain Ryan Drummond was the best Sonic voice actor. He really came into his own by the time 2 rolled out.

Hell buy them for their soundtracks alone. SA1 has a killer soundtrack

2 is actually really good. It doesnt have the same level of jank as the first one (which apparently wasn't as janky on the original dreamcast release? Idk)

Adventure 1 has a really fun story and setting, and the way the different characters' adventures weave in and out of each other's paths is pretty enjoyable to experience. It's my favorite Sonic game, easily. There's some awkwardness, but the original Dreamcast version is joyful.

I think the PC version is a bit buggier because it's based off the Gamecube port, but I can't be sure since I've never played it.

Adventure 2 got too cute with its stage design, and Tails/Eggman levels are pretty frustrating sometimes, but it's got a pretty good story and Shadow is still the king of edge.

Everyone hates them these days but I still find them tons of fun. Sonic Adventure aged a little better IMO, mainly because the stage design is still heavily weighted towards speed levels with Sonic and Tails, and the other play types being shorter campaigns. (The infamous Big the Cat campaign is only like 4 or 5 levels iirc.)

Gamecube version. I was only ever able to beat the special stages with team rose. Other teams would start sinking into the ground and slow me down to the point of failing it every time. I'm sure there were some others that fucked with me but can't remember off the top of my head

No, you are correct the DC game doesn't have some of the same issues as the remake.

Though that is true for most DC era games. If it came out at that time, and was on the Dreamcast, that is the one you wanted. ((It's a little different here because we are talking Sonic...so of coarse. But that is true with pretty much all games at the time.))

Plus there was a certain love put into the games that landed on the DC.
It was the final golden era of the 90's tbh.

Anyway, one game I would avoid in that sale is NiGHTS into Dreams, as it doesn't support controller play.
Which is a real, real shame. But ya, plenty of good stuff in that sale, I just happen to already have most of it.

Oh, that's cool!
I do already have it though.

I think the question is, does it have a controller patch.
I had it on Xbox live, and it did support a controller. ~So, I don't know what happened.

For the record I do have it for The Saturn.

Fun fact, Sega gave away the Christmas NiGHTS for free in one of their December issues of...I'd assume Sega Vision. Which was a damn cool move on Sega's part.

They're two of my all-time favorite games (in spite of how janky they are). The Steam port of SADX has some issues, though. Nothing major, but a few elements behave strangely at higher resolutions. Like the mirrors in Sonic's Lost World stage are impossible to align when playing at 4K since it has to be pixel-perfect.

They were always bad games. Even without getting to all the bugs, they were always full of flaws.

Any of the non-Sonic/Shadow levels are trash and filler. They're actually much worse in SA2, too, and the fact you're forced to switch among the gameplay styles in that game is terrible; at least you could first play all the Sonic levels before going to the other ones in SA1.
And Sonic/Shadow have a lot of shitty levels themselves. SA1? Only fun levels are Emerald Coast, Windy Valley, Speed Highway and Red Mountain. Casinopolis is trash with the pinball minigame. Ice Cap is slow paced trash. Twinkle Park is ruined by the kart racing in the beginning; shame, because the rest of the level is alright. Sky Deck is an all around mess. Lost World is a slow paced, boring mess of puzzles. And Final Egg is just bland.

SA2? City Escape, Metal Harbor, Green Forest, Final Rush, Radical Highway, White Jungle and Sky Rail are bliss. Pyramid Cave, Crazy Gadget and Final Chase, on the other hand, are just fucking trash.

And the hubs are boring filler.

Wow.

You've more or less entirely written what was in my head.

the game's notoriously pretty glitchy
when it's not the weird special stage behavior, it's the occasional failed automation or bad collision detection
it's a shockingly janky game, even compared to the adventure games

Shadow has a habit of flying off into space but that's more of an issue with the controls feeling like you're ice skating tbf.

Both pre-orders already sold out and over, and yes I did spend the fucking ripoff price of $42 per... But the 2nd hand market prices go up even more than this for the previous pressing so I figure might as well bite the bullet.
