He criticised the console version for its patchy performance and poorly emulated music.[1]

The Genesis emulator built inside the compilation gained popularity with homebrew groups, as Echelon released a kit that allowed users to add and load their own Genesis ROMs. Gary Lake, the programmer, had himself deliberately left a documentation of the built-in emulator, with the documentation seemingly intended at them due to the filename (ECHELON.TXT).[2] Additionally, Sega Swirl and Virtua Cop 2 were the only non-Genesis games in the compilation.
