well while i cannot share any screen shots i am glad to know sega did an awesome job with this PC port so much so that it works in all modern windows products ... if you want to play this game on your modern PC... DONT INSTALL it ... simply copy paste every item from the disk into a folder on your HDD and then go to your file where you saved it (in my case its E:\sonic 3k\GAME) then click "run sonic.exe" ... when launched you will see the normal play button and things ... then go to "options" in the lower left hand corner of the menu and in that options menu check the "graphics problems" box then click OK ... i have included pictures so you can see what i am talking about

Though the PC port has some setbacks compaired to the original Genesis version, the Sonic & Knuckles Collection is indeed a great game, and a must buy for any fan of classic platforming games. The collection includes three games: Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Sonic and Knuckles, and Sonic 3 and Knuckles; the later combining the levels of the other two games with additinal features, thus the bulk of the collection. This PC version has it's flaws, but still retains the charm the original had. Proformence:: On modern day PCs, the Sonic and Knuckles Collection runs smoothly and flawlessly while in fulscreen mode, however, will run rediculessly fast in windowed mode. While I've read of a patch that fixes this problem, I could not find it. Though it is not nessecary to worry about this, as you'll prefer to play this game in fullscreen mode anyway. Sound: The sound is prehapes the biggest setback for the game, as it seems so much softer and dimmer than the Genesis version. However, the issue itself is not that big, and if you've never played the Genesis version, I doubt you'd even notice. I would like to point out that when I first played the game, a mild humming sound occured in acompany with the music. This can be fixed by selecting "Options" from the game selection screen and then, under the Music Settings, click on "General MIDI", then OK. Controls: The controls for the game is half decent, but they work for the most part. Player 1 uses the direction keys to move and the Enter key to jump, and Player 2 uses D,X,V, and C to move and A to jump. These controls can be edited at any time if need be. You can also plug in a game controller to your PC and use that as well, eliminating any discomfort with the keyboard. Note: To use a game controller, select Options from the menu bar, then Use Joystick (or just hit F8). Click the drop-down menu next to P1 (or P2), then press the Down key and Enter, then hit OK. Controller can be bought at any Target or RadioShack. Gameplay: If you've ever played any Sonic game, then I need not explain the princibles of play. You can play as Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, or Sonic and Tails togeater as you run, loop and jump through twenty-four diffrent levels, while crushing Dr. Eggman's Badniks, collecting Chaos Emeralds, and stopping the dreaded doomsday device, the Death Egg. Each charecter has his own special abilities; Sonic can create an insta-sheild and gains a new ability when he gets a sheild, Tails can fly around and carry Sonic for a period of time (via second player), and Knuckles can guild around and climb walls. The gameplay is fast and furious and truely addicting. Overall, the Sonic and Knuckles Collection is truely a great and classic game. It may be of lower-quality compaired to the Genesis version, but if you don't have a Genesis, then I recommend you buy this game.Read full review
I used to play this alot as a kid growing up on my parents old Win98 PC! Great game for gamers of all ages. This was my first sonic game and I have been hooked on Sonics(lol) ever since. It can be picked up and played easy! One of my all time favorites for sure!!

Alright this is probably the worst version of Sonic and Knuckles you can possibly get I bought this in a large bundle of SEGA PC games and I was expecting to play the game just as I did on the Genesis. I was mistaken here are the 4 factors on why I hate this port *The music is terrible like someone just tried to take the soundtrack and make it sound like it came from the SNES and failed miserably it sounds like it came from an 80s band a BAD I MEAN BAD AS IN TERRIBLE 80s band not like those really good bands I mean BAD this is the worst Sonic soundtrack of ALL TIME *Lack of all Sonic and Knuckles games it has Blue Sphere, Sonic 3 and Knuckles,Sonic 3 , and Sonic and Knuckles but lacks Knuckles In Sonic 2 this was probably due to Sonic 2 being scheduled for a PC release but what they could have done was have something that could merge both programs of the game as a lock on option *Terrible controls THIS GAME TERRIBLY SUFFERS IN GAMEPLAY DUE TO CONTROLS there is only key that is used for an action key there is just up,down,left,right,and then Jump/Spindash that is it and it doesn't specify which button is even that key. there is no A , B , or C therefore Cheats and tricks are virtually disabled which takes the fun out of freely exploring the game.Another thing you cannot control Tails to help you out in the game instead of being hurt all the time in every Sonic game where you are followed by Tails. Tails tends to be very unhelpful but still this has a nice look to it and he can be controlled by a second player on the Genesis but NO not on here. *This game either runs too fast or too slow keeping the visual and audio completely out of sync THIS IS ANNOYING as I stated I thought this was going to be like the genesis but WITH THE SPEED BEING SO UNEVEN IT IS NOT EVEN WORTH PLAYING BECAUSE YOU GO SO FAST YOU DIE ON THE FIRST LEVEL CONSTANTLY. overall : Graphics 10/10 (Same as genesis) Sound 1/10 (as I stated terrible) Gameplay 1/10 (too fast and terrible controls) Story 10/10 (same as genesis) Overall rating: 3/10 (THIS IS NOT THE SONIC AND KNUCKLES YOU WANT IF YOU WANT TO PLAY THIS GET ONE OF THE SONIC MEGA COLLECTIONS)Read full review
