Sega-Sony?

I'm sure a blu-ray disc could fit every single Sonic game up to and including Sonic Heroes, with room to spare. The $99 price tag suggests not merely a large collection of games, but some sort of premium package with non-game content. Probably like those SA2 birthday packs.

Well, if they're listening, I'd like to get a Sonic trucker style hat, coffee mug for speed-juice, t-shirts (plural), and maybe a keychain. A box like that might entice me to spend that much on a game of older releases.

eh, Virtua Racing for Genesis was $99, so comparing it to the games of yore, games are pretty affordable. Still, emulation, illegal or not, is far too accessible to be paying out the ass for a likely inferior emulated version of all of these games, games you could buy most of in their original form for less than $100.

Yeah, and with taking inflation into account that's close to $145, then again, if you take inflation into account, a lot of contemporary cart based games were pretty expensive compared to the average current releases.

I'd like a hardbound coffee table book collection of Sonic furry porn printed on high-quality glossy paper.

And a plushy Sonic whose legs spin around like he's running.

Bah. You wouldn't happen to have the source image for this, would you? I had a super-hi-res version, back in the day.

Eh. I just like the convenience of having them on a modern platform - I enjoy the games, not just the hardware, after all

I love the mental image of some scruffy furry artist standing in chains in front of a judge for copyright infringement.

and a PC isn't a modern platform?

That wouldn't constitute copyright infringement. First of all, we all know furry artists don't sell their work, getting off to their demented drawings is enough. Second of all, all you have to do is change it a certain percent and it is legally distinct. You could also potentially claim it was parody which is protected under fair use.

...and chains...really? I don't think a police officer has ever busted down the door of a house and beat someone down for intellectual property infringement, most intellectual property suits are civil matters anyway.
