Sonic

[Bleeders]

Grabbed this on the way out this morning and snapped up the "Beat GHZ Act 1 in under 35 seconds" achievement.

Same ol' Sonic, no HD upgrade. The game is made even easier by the Save function they've added into it now, but I'm trying to beat the certain stages in the alloted time, sure it'll be fun for a short time.

No added spin dash a la Sonic Jam however, and it's the US ROM apparently so the clouds on Green Hill Zone are static (I believe).

Despite owning this in several other formats and incarnations I will of course shell out another £3.40 for this to play through for Achievements and high score.

Think I'll give this a go too, haven't bought an Arcade game for a while and I haven't played Sonic for ages either. It also has achievements that I should be able to do with no probs, which is nice

Beat the game without dying achievement is gonna be fun! I owe this too my childhood.

[Bleeders]

It's made easier though, surely by the save option within the game, non?

What so if I die I can just reload and the game will never know? I'm not bothered about the points in the game, just the achievements them selves, to give one of my favourite games a new lease of life.

Wow, I love the full screen and smoothing option, it looks better than the VC version on a HDTV, so it's worth the purchase.

Edit: Also in stereo!

Yeah, reload save, game is none-the-wiser, probably.

Gonna grab this at lunch. I know what you mean about childhood memories Selix, one Xmas (1991 or 1992) we got a Megadrive with Sonic and it was the greatest thing ever

[MarioMark]

it was the greatest thing ever

Still is!

I bought this, never played Sonic seriously before, infact I don't think I've played it for more than 10 minutes before in my life (that was when I bought a Sega Master System from eBay), urg I prefer Mario, dang=)
