So before you can say 'Isn't that convenient?' the pair are setting up a fighting tournament to take on the guardians of the chaos emeralds and to determine which of the assembled is powerful enough to be sent out to take out Robotnik and Death Egg II. Unfortunately, his ship only seats one, and it can be powered only by chaos emeralds, eight to be exact. Thankfully Sonic's faithful right-hand man, Tails, becomes aware of it and quickly builds a rocket to go confront Robotnik. Eggman was known in those days) Death Egg station, the villain creates an even deadlier version of it called Death Egg II. Basically, following the destruction of Dr. Like so many fighting games of the era, Sonic the Fighters actually featured a narrative that not only provided a solid excuse for a brawl between all the characters, but also tied in to the mythos of the console games. Though it sounds simple, the three-button setup allowed for a number of different combos as well as unique special attacks for each character. You'll be able to punch, kick, and block, although blocking was limited by a barrier system, so we could block only a certain number of times before running out of shields. Because of AM2's fighting pedigree, the game possesses a surprisingly solid fighting system that was in line with AM2's popular three-button system, which was introduced in the Virtua Fighter series. The game is also one of the first to use Sega's Model 2B arcade board variant. It's the only 3D Sonic fighter and, more incredibly, was developed by Sega's AM2 studio-yes, the Virtua Fighter people. The game is notable for several reasons and marked a number of firsts for the versatile hedgehog, one of which was Sonic's debut in 3D. The first game in the collection is 1996's Sonic the Fighters, which was Sonic's second appearance in an arcade game.

Finally, the extras option lets you read hints on the various games and check out the compilation's credits.

You'll also be able to listen to music tracks you'll unlock by playing the game, which you can toggle with the Y button. Museum is a seven-page collection of 140 pieces of unlockable artwork.

Our last look at Gems Collection was at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo, where Sonic CD and Sonic the Fighters were available for play.

Sonic the Fighters takes Sonic and company into Virtua Fighter territory.

We got our hands on a fairly complete version of the collection, and it contained all the games and even much of the unlockable content, which offered some surprises.

Though many of his finer moments were caught in the Sonic Mega Collection and Sonic Mega Collection Plus compilations that were released earlier this year, Sega has managed to find some additional tasty morsels for Sonic aficionados to sink their teeth into. The sassy blue hedgehog burst onto the scene in the early '90s and led Sega's grand and successful charge to unseat Nintendo as the undisputed champion in the console market. The last time we saw Sega's upcoming compilation starring Sonic the Hedgehog, we got just a taste of what to expect from the collection of games culled from Sonic's wild past.
