# Classic Games
A lot of the classic games are available via emulation. Here are the best way to play some of them.
## S1, S2, S3&K and SCD
These games are available on **Sonic Origins**. With Sonic Origins Plus, they'll add Amy as playable ! These ports aren't perfect (there are some glitch and stuff), but they can do a pretty good job to play the games with more features (drop dash, no lives, etc). You can mod Sonic Origins with [Hedgemon Manager](https://github.com/thesupersonic16/HedgeModManager/releases)
You can replace S3&K musics with [this mod](https://gamebanana.com/sounds/61823).
### Sonic 1 and Sonic 2
Another alternative to play Sonic 1 and Sonic 2 is to extract the files from the Android Release and play them with the [Decompilation](https://github.com/Rubberduckycooly/Sonic-1-2-2013-Decompilation). Note that you can also use the files from Sonic Origins, but you'll have to do [some manipulation](https://github.com/Rubberduckycooly/Sonic-1-2-2013-Decompilation/blob/main/FAQ.md#using-origins-rsdk-files) for it to work correctly.
### Sonic CD
Another alternative to play Sonic 1 and Sonic 2 is to extract the files from the Android Release (or original PC version if you had it) and play them with the [Decompilation](https://github.com/Rubberduckycooly/Sonic-CD-11-Decompilation). Note that you can also use the files from Sonic Origins, but you'll have to do [some manipulation](https://github.com/Rubberduckycooly/Sonic-CD-11-Decompilation/blob/master/FAQ.md#using-origins-rsdk-files) for it to work correctly.
The original port of Sonic CD on PC isn't available for sales anymore, and need the [SEGA PC Reloaded](https://forums.sonicretro.org/index.php?threads/sega-pc-reloaded.34181/) to work correctly ([mirror available here](https://forums.sonicretro.org/index.php?threads/sega-pc-reloaded.34181/page-7#post-1003615)).
### Sonic 3&K
For Sonic 3&K you can have two other option to get a "definitive edition" :
- Playing with a rom (that you can get if you had the steam version of S3&K, or from other ways :3) to [Sonic 3 A.I.R](https://sonic3air.org/).
- Playing the hackrom [Sonic 3 Complete](https://www.s3complete.org/) if you're on a plateform that prefer emulation.
Sonic & Knuckles Collections isn't available for sales anymore, and need the [SEGA PC Reloaded](https://forums.sonicretro.org/index.php?threads/sega-pc-reloaded.34181/) to work correctly ([mirror available here](https://forums.sonicretro.org/index.php?threads/sega-pc-reloaded.34181/page-7#post-1003615)).
## Other Megadrive Games
You can get the following games from the [SEGA Mega Drive and Genesis Classics](https://store.steampowered.com/app/34270/SEGA_Mega_Drive_and_Genesis_Classics/) and extract them with this tool :
- Sonic 3D Blast
- Sonic Spinball
- Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine
### Emulated-only games
The following games aren't available and needs emulation to be played :
- Knuckles Chaotix
- Wacky Worlds Creativity Studio
- Sonic Eraser
## Game Gear Title
Game Gear title will be available in **Sonic Origins Plus**. There certainly will be a way to extract them soon after its release. They can also be extracted from Sonic Adventure on Steam with [Game Extraction Toolbox](https://github.com/shawngmc/game-extraction-toolbox). After being extracted, you can play them in your emulator of choices. For some of the game, you can prefer optaining the Master System versions, that'll have a larger screen size. Triple Trouble and Sonic Blast also have been ported as Master System game, but the result isn't as good than for the other games.
For Sonic Triple Trouble, you can also play the [16 bits remake](https://www.sonicfangameshq.com/forums/showcase/sonic-triple-trouble-16-bit.1130/).
## Saturn/PC games
Sonic 3D Blast and Sonic R can be played.
## Arcade games
