tech_guy Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) Happy Birthday, Sonic: BBC News - Twenty years of Sonic the Hedgehog I wasted hours playing the original game on a Sega MegaDrive. Did anyone else manage to complete it without losing a single life in the game? I did. My wife says it's the only time she's come close to divorcing me. Edited June 23, 2011 by tech_guy 1
MK-2 Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 them pi**ing gem levels in the rotating thing drove me nuts. just as you get near the gem and it reversed or bounced you to an exit. GAARRRRRGHHH
laptopsandspares Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Similarly surprised when I read that it's the 20 year anniversary of the release of Peal Jam's "Ten" (the first Album I bought on CD) and G'nR's Use your Illusion 1 & 2 which I got as a present for my 18th!! Gosh I feel old. Never managed to complete Sonic at all but then I was more of a Super Mario devotee. Happy Birthday Sonic
teejay Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Think I'll have to load up the Megadrive Game Pack on my PS3 and celebrate tonight:p
sted Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 is it just me who thought the master system versions were better as they were quite a lot harder to actually complete form what i remember

Rawns Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 them pi**ing gem levels in the rotating thing drove me nuts. just as you get near the gem and it reversed or bounced you to an exit. GAARRRRRGHHH Was it Sonic 2 or 3 in the tube where you had to get the rings? That one was easier, then the one on the planet and you had to get all the red Blue balls? Edit:

Rawns Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 I meant these ones: [ATTACH=CONFIG]10501[/ATTACH] Those sucked in Sonic 1. Could not stand them! Can't remember what reward you got for collecting all 6 of them though!
Pete10141748 Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Sonic the Hedgehog on the Master System was harder than the MegaDrive one, at least I think was. Collecting the Emeralds within the levels and not on the 'special stages' meant you only got 1 shot to collect each one, and once you had it you could not die otherwise you would lose it! The 'Labyrinth' levels always drove me mad, all underwater and looking out for those little air bubbles to refill your air was a nightmare, especially when you didn't have an air gauge to let you know how much/little air you had left!

Pete10141748 Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Not sure, though I don't recall the music helping. You got a "3......2.....1....." counter over Sonic's head as a very last warning, that's all I remember.

Pete10141748 Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Oh yeah, that brings back memories! Painful memories of watching Sonic drown and my life counter move to "00"

RabbieBurns Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 I downlaoded streets of rage 2 as part of the welcome back pack the other week... But ill look out for that sega pack., Sounds good.. thanks
LosOjos Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 I bought a Mega Drive and a couple of games (including the first two Sonic games) for a tenner a few weeks ago... who needs a PS3?
CAM Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 I owned the Master System copy, utterly hard and took me years as a small kid to complete. The trickiest was the airship level where they gave you no rings at all. If you were hit just once you were out and cannon balls came flying out of nowhere. Jungle had some utterly hard jumps too, "I beat the boss! *Slip, fall, die and back to square 1*" But one of the most fun games I have played. Oh, and you couldn't pick your rings up if you were hit. Once you lost them, they were gone! (or when you hit 100 rings for a new life, the counter reset to 0).
RabbieBurns Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 i remember the year sonic 2 came out, i asked for it for xmas as I had a game gear. I got given it on MAster System cartridge, with the Game gear -> Master system converter, and my sister got a whole master system. I remember feeling cheated haha.
Haptic Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Sega Megadrive Ultimate Collection for the PS3 has: Kid Chameleon Job done....I used to think this game was amazing. Joe
