This is the third compilation to be released that was titled ''Sega Smash Pack''; the first two were released for PC. When released, the game was criticized for its poor [[Emulator|emulation]] and the poorly reproduced music featured in the games. The game's disc (GD-ROM) contains a text document that elaborates on the emulator and includes text that alludes to Sega's dropping out of the console business.
