What is your favourite Sonic on the MD/Gen?

[Ouenben]

So out of the 3 main Sonics (the spin-offs etc haven't been included) which is your favourite?

1. Sonic
2. Sonic 2
3. Sonic 3 & knuckles

Not counting 3. Sonic 3 & knuckles as 2 seperate games because initially they would have been one game but cartridge restraints.. etc

There are already several topics like this. Including "Favourite Sonic Game" and "What Sonic Game Should i buy" which arent to far down the topic list.

P.S The titles i used arent exactly the same as the topic titles.

[Ouenben]

Couldn't find any 'Favourite sonic game' threads, and 'similar threads' bit isn't picking it up either.
Only one similar I could/can find is 'Which sonic should I Download' thats not necessarily someones favourite and it doesn't include Sonic 3 & knuckles.
The main debate lies between Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles, I was interested in seeing what peoples choices were.


So really only 1 thread like this (in this subforum anyway) which isn't several

fair enough but it didn't include a poll and like i said before I'm mostly interested in what people prefer, Sonic 2 or Sonic 3 & knuckles, only put sonic 1 in just incase some weirdo or someone living in a cave and hasnt discovered Sonic 2/3 & knuckles wants to chose it.

Sonic 2... well, all of them are good.

That would be me :)

Seriously I have all 3 and prefer the original.

Same here. But if they had of added Sonic CD, I would have chose it instead. It's like they took the original and made it totally massive!

Ooh, Sonic CD was great. Probably my second favourite after Sonic 2. I wonder if we'll see it on VC? as far as I'm aware, the main reason it was on Mega CD on the first place was due to the special stage having Mode-7-esque graphics (which the Mega Drive couldn't do on its own); it doesn't make much use of the increased CD storage space.

I'm sure the fact that it has like 70 levels counting time zones also has something to do with it.

And the whole point was trying to find that machine that's hidden in the past in each zone. The game is a bear to complete 100% correctly. I still haven't done it!

Oh it's definitely bigger than the standard Megadrive cart, but does it use all of the storage space on the CD, thus putting it beyond the capacity of the VC? I'm not so sure of that; I suspect that, unlike other CD games, Sonic CD wouldn't be too big of a download.

You're obviously not counting the CD music.

If I remember correctly, they even had to cut the Special Stage track during development, possibly due to space restrictions.

[kelvingreen]

Ah yes, I'd be forgetting that. Never mind then.

Although, out of casual interest, I wouldn't mind knowing how large Sonic CD actually is.

I had the Mega CD ISO without music which was 70MB. But i dont know how big with music. I have an ISO for the PC version aswell but im sure the Mega CD and PC sizes Differ.

[ICEknight]

My PAL backup is 556MB.

But anyway, I'm guessing they'll be using some kind of compression for the CD audio (I hope it's not low quality MP3). The whole thing compressed is around 350MB, so that's the size I'd expect not counting the emu itself.

[kelvingreen]

So quite a bit bigger than the current VC can reasonably handle then.

I've got it on Sonic Gems, so I'm not too worried about it. I just miss that suspend feature.
