The original Trine came out of nowhere, providing players with the closest thing to a Lost Vikings sequel they could imagine. Or maybe that’s just my interpretation of it.

We here at Snackbar know how painful it can be to play a board game like Monopoly. Like a roll of the dice that takes multiple hours of your life to complete, there are often no real choices to make that aren’t incredibly obvious. Thankfully, Fortune Street is not exactly like Monopoly.

Typically, when a classic game finds its way to modern consoles, the port is quick and the extras are minimal. The recent release of Sonic CD, however, deviates from that unfortunate standard. There have been many compilations full of Sonic games over the years, but they have typically included Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic 2, Sonic 3, and Sonic and Knuckles.
