Maybe next year 😉 You don't have to play an original cartridge, you can play through emulation, flashback, etc. Also Sonic is available on the Sega Genesis "6-PAK" cartridges which are fairly common and not that expensive.

Atari 5200 Guy Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) I think it's on XBLA, too. I think? Yep. On 360 for $2.49. I might try to get it. Just feels odd playing a Sega game on a non-Sega system. Edited June 21, 2019 by kamakazi20012 StormSurge, Justin and Atari Creep 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Tyler Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 Sorry about the small video size, but I can't figure out for the life of me of how to get a better resolution out of Fusion. StormSurge, Justin and Sabertooth 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control Issues Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 Pretty sure I just had one of my best games of Sonic ever... got three out of four emeralds and all the way to the Spring Zone on one man. Beat the second level boss (the one that drops fire on the two platforms) with no rings! Anyway, my score for this challenge - 112950. Wish I had take video. I need to get a capture thing... Played on Genesis model 2, game on the Genesis 6-Pak cart. Justin, Sabertooth and StormSurge 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosweargamer Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 I had a busy weekend, so this was the only one of the three I was able to do. I know this might sound crazy, but I think Sonic 1 is underrated these days, especially compared to Sonic 2. Played on a Model 1 from 6-Pak, using a video capture device. And I too beat the 2nd boss with no rings, lol. I was nervous battling him! 130,060 Justin, Control Issues, StormSurge and 1 other 4 The No Swear Gamer on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChtJuo040EOCTVziObIgVcg Host of The Atari 7800 Game by Game Podcast on iTunes, Stitcher and YouTube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control Issues Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 I play Sonic 1 somewhat regularly. It's the only video game I can get my girlfriend to play. I even have pictures of her playing it! lol Many moons ago, she was struggling to get by with no car and nothing to do but go to work and come home. The only thing she had to do at home was play Sonic and she actually beat it. (Probably not with all the Chaos Emeralds, but still...) So every once in a while we sit down and pass the controller back and forth. She starts out and I take over when she dies, then when I die, she takes over and so on until we get tired of it or frustrated with the levels. (That water one... I guess after spring zone?... gets us every time.) StormSurge, Justin and Sabertooth 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went into it with two rings and got hit right away. Tried to jump across the gap to get one of them as they flew away but missed it. It was a close one!

Atari 5200 Guy Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 I was not able to get this game in time for the challenge. Out of all of the Sonics for the Genesis the first one will always be my top favorite. 2 was eh. After that I wasn't interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control Issues Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Also, @Kid A, that looks awesome. I've GOT to get a Trinitron at some point. Atari Creep and Justin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
