The phrase refers to the acquisition of a specific data file, typically associated with emulation or modification of a classic video game. This file is designed to integrate the features of multiple game iterations within a single environment. As an example, it facilitates the simultaneous gameplay of “Sonic the Hedgehog,” “Knuckles the Echidna,” and “Sonic the Hedgehog 3.”
The availability of such files enables players to experience combined gameplay mechanics and content that were not originally present in the individual, standalone games. This fosters a deeper appreciation for the original titles and expands the possibilities for custom game modifications. Historically, it represents a community-driven effort to enhance and preserve retro gaming experiences.
