Sega brings console classics to PC

Sega Europe has announced that Sonic Mega Collection Plus and Billy Hatter and The Giant Egg are to be released for the PC on March 31.

Billy Hatcher was the first all-new platform game from SonicTeam since Nights on the Saturn and has thus far managed to sell 100,000 copies on the GameCube across Europe. You play as Billy who, with the aid of a chicken suit, must collect and control magical eggs and restore light to a once magical world, now ruled over by an evil King.

Sonic Mega Collection Plus brings together many of the hedgehog's games into one package of retro goodness. For your money you get Sonic The Hedgehog, Sonic The Hedgehog 2, Sonic The Hedgehog 3, Sonic & Knuckles, Sonic 3D Flickie's Island, Sonic Spinball, and Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. You also get the Game Gear games Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic Chaos, Sonic Drift, Sonic Labyrinth, Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, and Sonic Blast. Three Sonic lock-on games from Sonic and Knuckles are also included, along with four unlockable Mega Drive games (The Ooze, Comix Zone, Flicky and Ristar).

Both titles are scheduled for release on the PC on March 31.
