Happy Fr ... oh wait, it's Wednesday. Well that sucks. How about a new episode of RetroforceGO! to cheer you up? We had Jim Sterling join us to talk about Sonic the Hedgehog. It was grand. Highlights include:
- I <3 metal
- Jim carves another notch in his bedpost
- Space Invaders is awesome, so ... don't buy it.
- NXE invented Penicillin
- Jim Sterling: Professor of Sonicology
- Sonic was good
- Sonic was bad
- Sonic is good again ... maybe
Check us out on iTunes to get an early dose, or be lame and get the new episode
right here. We'll catch you next week, when we'll be recording early again so you can spend your Thursday stuffing yourself with turkey.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Metal VG music FTW!!!
Boy is my face red. VG Metal still rawks :D
Here is a link to the remix album with that orchestral remix of Sky Sancturary Zone and the whole soundtrack from Sonic 3 & Knuckles(because yes, Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles are essentially one game)
I've always said I'll get along with anyone if they're not a douchebag.
So ...
on sonic watch this.
IT is true sega killed off the idea, after the "Little boy incident"
listen for your self.

never mind..
And as his name was mentioned earlier; when oh when will you return Dyson :( RfGO! is amazing without you, but even better with. Quite a lot actually, borderline mindmelting as it is.
If you managed to play through to Shadow's story in Sonic '06(tough I know), he actually had a decent story in it where he didn't use guns and didn't fight aliens. He was basically just a mercenary for GUN in '06.
Jim, if you watched all the story scenes in Sonic '06, how come you didn't mention that in the "final story", the game basically retcons itself out of existence(so none of the events in the game actually happened).
Anyhow, finished listening to the episode.
Jim, you did not disappoint me in this episode(though I honestly didn't expect you to). Also, will you be comparing the PS3/360 versions of Sonic Unleashed to the Wii/PS2 version?

I'm so pumped. Three Sterling podcasts in one week... Awesome.
Although the gems collection was really bad so I'm not surprised you haven't heard of it. Sure CD was good but all the odd choices to put on the disc with it pulled it down. It's like putting dogshit on a plate next to some steak. The steak could be the best damn steak you ever ate but the fact that it is served with a pile of shit will ruin your experience of it.
They brought out a crappy poorly emulated PC version around 1995 to 1996 3 years after it first came out. It came free with a new CD drive I bought at the time to or you could just buy it sega was doing it whole sega PC lineup then that died off with the dreamcast later.
the version in "sonic gems collection" is a crappy emulation of the crappy emulated PC version of sonic cd.
Water is screwed over there is more slow down, looks uglyer sound effects are not right, and the worst offender it is missing the secret content and does not seem to control as responsive.
the port of sonic the fighters on the disc with it is not that great either you can pick up the real arcade machine mainboard for a steal these days.
Getting the chaos emeralds is near impossible?
Eh? what!? lol You must be joking.
Although thanks for recounting the horror of the sonic 2006 story ¬_¬ Why why did i complete that!?
Sonic CD is amazing and Jim really needs to play it. Badly emulated or not.
Windows up direct x changes killed that off and the fan boy made patches do not work either.
I could help him run the sega cd version with good emulation...
I draw the line at sending him one of my sega CD's or mega cd's though,
