07.11.22 | Did you ever go outside as a kid? |
CaliggyJack
07.11.22 | I did, but as soon as I did I got bullied so I realized staying inside was more fun. |

07.11.22 | Sonic 3 is way better than 2 . Bloodlines at #3 makes me happy tho |
Gyromania
07.11.22 | No rocket knight adventures either tsk tsk |

07.11.22 | good list |

07.11.22 | I recently came to terms with the fact that I suck at old sonic games too much for them to be fun. I hate them. In fact, the only sonic game I’ve ever enjoyed is 2 adventure battle |

07.11.22 | Only PC CD/DVD games old nerd ( that collect and play games on steam now). I never played a console game on any console except Pong on Magnavox Odyssey ( and yes i am that old). From a spectator point of view, Sonic seem fun. Cheers! |
Gyromania
07.11.22 | Sonic adventure 2 battle is solid, but sonic 2 and 3+ knuckles are way better imo. If you suck at them try mania, it basically perfects the formula |

07.11.22 | Anyone remember a point and click computer game from what I presume was the 90s where you explore archeological sites or sumthin and there’s a part where you get eaten by a t-rex? |

07.11.22 | I actually bought it off a rec from you gyro so as far as im concerned you owe me $6 now 😾 |

07.11.22 | Sonic was my first game so I've always played them and had no issues, but I've heard a lot of people have a hard time with them because they move too fast and they can't see what's ahead of them because of the aspect ratio. Sonic 2 is the perfect video game in my opinion and I think it plays flawlessly, but maybe that's just because I grew up with them? idk this was something that never even occurred to me or bothered me before seeing people on the internet saying they are hard to play for the first time. Adventure battle 2 is a lot of fun. |

😡
Nah one day you'll come back to it and be like "holy shit matt was right this is a mastapiece" and then you'll want to pay me quadruple for my rec and I'll graciously accept |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
07.11.22 | I didn’t play them a lot as a kid. Just briefly at other peoples houses. So that might be true. With sonic games I wanna go vroom vroom fast, not run into walls, fall into water, and jump into spikes every 4 seconds, which is what actually happens when I play |
Gyromania
07.11.22 | Fox: yeah I grew up with them too and they're challenging but I never thought they were especially hard - definitely not on the same level as the nes megaman games. Those were fucking sadistic. The aspect ratio I can see being an issue for many but those are all fixed now anyway with mania and origins

foxblood
07.11.22 | I'm able to follow the game at full speed and not hit anything fine, but I've had a ton of practice since childhood and have the level layouts memorized. maybe it's because you just aren't autistic enough pots |
foxblood
07.11.22 | 'definitely not on the same level as the nes megaman games.'
yeah 'NES hard' is a different kind of hard |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
07.11.22 | Lmao perhaps |
Gyromania
07.11.22 | I can map out the levels too but even when I didn't know what enemies were up ahead and I'd just run into them, it was pretty negligible since I'd just need to grab a few coins and keep going. Damage boosting kind of breaks sonic esp in (most) boss fights |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
07.11.22 | I get grew up playing mega man games so while I agree they are very tough I am much better at those than sonic |
Gyromania
07.11.22 | You play the x games too? I much prefer those to the classic megaman games, although I've come to appreciate them more over the years ...except for needing the bubble gun to beat the final boss in 2. That was such a fucking troll and I got mad as hell at that when I was a kid haha |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
07.11.22 | x were my preference |
Gyromania
07.11.22 | X1 was always my favourite.
Tried to play megaman 11 when it came out a few years back and it was pretty shite |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
07.11.22 | Yeah the first 3 x games were really good and then the PlayStation era ones started off really cool and progressively got very bad |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
07.11.22 | I loved megaman 11, shit was wild |
Gyromania
07.11.22 | man some of the shit that killed me in that game just felt cheap as hell. way too many insta deaths and sticking on platforms and shit |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
07.11.22 | Oh yeah it was hard as hell |
IsisScript80
07.11.22 | Very good list, CJ! Agree that 'Rocket Knight Adventures' deserves a top-tier placement, and I'd have 'Gunstar Heroes' and (even though I'm completely useless at it) 'Thunderforce 4' is a system masterpiece.
Re. the Sonic mainline series, I think everything on the Genesis/Megadrive after the first game is sheer brilliance. The first game had an identity problem where it couldn't work out what to do with a character whose gaming joy comes specifically from momentum and going fast, so crap like "Labyrinth Zone" and to a lesser extent, "Marble Zone" proliferate throughout. The thrill of "Green Hill..." is what should have carried through. I love the visuals and atmosphere of the first game, but I actually think the Sega Master System/Game Gear version (different game entirely) is much better. |

07.30.23 | @minor sor2 is the best of all 4 games tbh |
