Is Marble Hill Zone the best theme ever?

I never played anything past Sonic 3, so I was a bystander for the controversy and hilarity of the later games.

Did any of you ever read the British Sonic comic - Sonic the Comic? It used to be ace with great stories. It had loads of different stories based not just on Sonic, but on different Sega games like Shinobi, Decap Attack, and Golden Axe.
I got it till issue 100, it was a fun ride, and had entertaining story lines all set within proper Sonic zones, sorry, geeking out, a shot of rose tinted specs

Did you guys read the rumors that Michael Jackson did the music for Sonic 3? I'm not sure if it was ever confirmed or not.

How about Knuckles Chaotix? I've been looking into the 32x and one guy at a flea market told me he had five of them, only one worked, and only for a short period of time. Did you guys ever play Knuckles Chaotix? I've looked at videos of it and it looked a little disappointing. But I still want it. It looks a bit like old Sonic games.

Also Sonic CD? I never played it, but want it. You guys ever play that one?

NEver mind I thought of ton of questions (and im board here at this coffeshop waiting so it will be long..) just now but will only ask some. Sonic CD (AKA the finest sonic game ever made that made the sega cd worth its cost.) It was sonic's biggist game almost nobody played(at one point it was going to be the real sonic 2) and made tons of improvements, The animated showed what sonic kinda would have been like in a 3d game. (Sonic adventure looks very close to the intro animations.) sonic's lazy 8 spin run was interduced (cant remember it's name now.) and never seen again, time travel, 3d special stages, ETC ETC. The biggist improvement was sonics amazing music was pumped full of steroids so..... The questions about the music.


The japanese soundtack or the USA "spencer neilson sountrack" for english versions what one Do you think fits sonic best? The are both extremely different playing each version make both feel different.

Do you think sega should have changed it or left it alone?

Was it "right" to change it?


DId you ever hear the music on the BETA version of sonic CD?

What type of music do you think fits sonic games and sonic world/characters period? There have been huge amounts of all kinds of music since the first game The "dreams come true" music or the remixed michael jackson music in sonic 3/sonic and knuckles? sonic cd? sonic adventure?"


I like them both the Q-sound mix fits the spencer nelison tracks fits the new age like tracks a bit better though so I give that the edge it sounds amazing on high end sound hardware.



Ripped a couple the tracks from the free music USA CD "Sonic boom" I got. So there extended cuts Keep theme handy.



To refresh the publics memory enjoy at your own risk.

In honor of Sonic's return, If you could resurrect a lost-cause (or maybe just forgotten) game franchise or character to it's former glory, what one would it be and why?

Also, congrats to Jim on escaping the commonwealth.

the Sonic the Hedgehog anime movie is done by the same animators who did the animation for sonic cd, and is pretty damn old at this point I think everbody has seen it.,

Yes finally something I know about! Sonic was my first Sega game and I loved it. What did you guys first think when you layed as on Sonic and were you worried that Mario is going to have a hard time competeing with the Sonic.

(Pal-ih-die)

Me again.

Pics:

Me and my Sonic plushie(Sonic Adventure version) that need his eyes re-painted. I also have a Tails and Knuckles plushie(in better condition), but not here at college with me.

One more question:

Were any of you like me, in that you didn't get to play Sonic CD when if first came out, heard all the hype about it over the years, and when Gems collection finally came out, was disappointed by Sonic CD?

I was. I personally felt that there was too much of a vertical exploration aspect too it which brought the game to a stop waaayyyy too many times. It's good in its own right, but I don't agree with those who say it's the best Sonic game ever. That goes to Sonic 3(specifically(as with all my postslocked on with Sonic and Knuckles).

Mr. Sterling congratulations on coming over to the worlds trailer park, America. We know that love can bloom on destructoid with Colette & Niero and Topher & Stella Wong. Does that mean that maybe you and Chad Concelmo may strike up a relationship. I would also believe your child would be a monocle wearing dolphin. Also Sonic = Meh........

(Ah- meth- iss- tine)

WHaaaatt? Early RetroForceGo show?! Ammmaazzing!

I'll admit, I only know Sonic through playing games at friends' houses since I never had a Sega system.. but I do remember that ad for the Genesis that was a total Nintendo basher:

There was a drag-racer with a Genesis strapped to the back, racing against a cruddy old van with a SNES tied to the back (real fair, I know). I think they were comparing Super Mario Kart to Sonic or some equivalent racing game at the time. Do any of you guys remember that one?

Favourite song in all of the Sonic games, then favourite in Sonic 2 and then favourite song in Sonic 3 and Knuckles.

Also, fap fap fap fap fap.

People have asked what franchise you'd like to give the Mega Man 9 treatment to (bring it back to its roots, graphics, gameplay, and all), but aside from Mega Man and Sonic, are there really any other franchises that could benefit from this type of treatment? I can't think of any other age-old characters whose original games were the bee's knees, but then whose later games were awful exploitations that shouldn't have ever existed, can you?

If this sonic bombs, who has connections in Sega so I can get a job on development and make it better?

I would also like to inquire if Sterling has ever considered kissing Sonic, but more specifically if he would still do so while hes revving up his spin attack. Granted that would leave a "Blue Blur" on Jims face and you wouldn't really know where you were kissing.

In short, Ass to Mouth?

Nobody should ever talk about sonic-R or sonic 3d blast ever agin.

They both sucked worse than that sonic game on xbox 360.

(Pal-ih-die)

@Sonic-R:
Everybody's SUPER SONIC RACING
SO COME ON PUT YOUR FEET DOWN TO THE GROOOUUND!!!!!

Anyhow, me again. More questions.

How many Sonic games do you guys own currently with the collection compilations counting as only one game?

What are your opinions on Sonic Xtreme? Do you feel that if it was released in its original conception(that is, using the Nights engine) that maybe Sonic games now-a-days would be different? Do you hate Yuji Naka for being a big bitch and not let Sega of America use the Nights engine to make Xtreme, thus dooming it to its fate of not being released?

@ paladi

Sonic cd on the gems collection is a sucky port of the sucky PC version that don't really count if that is the only version anybody played....

Hey Stella, how about saying something other than repeating what Chad and Colette say this week? That'd be neat!

Also, you have a cool laugh.

Question

Which retro game can legitimately be adapted into a movie without loosing its integrity?

Love the show!

tetris the movie..

I can't be the only person who wants a Sonic game based on the Archies comic series. That is the only thing that sega could do that wouldn't suck.

@Cube:

Was the level design the same in the Sega CD version as in the PC version? If so then I stand by my comments. If not, then I'll play it before I make more judgments.

I'll come out and admit it- I like Big the Cat.

Hey guys, Just have one question,
Did you guys ever play Sonic 3D Blast? I loved the Sonic games as a kid, and my parents got me Sonic 3D Blast for my birthday one year, and I hated it, I hated it so much I traded my genesis to my neighbor for his SNES. Anyways, As you can see I hated that game so much I switched platforms. Am I the only one that hates that game that much?

Also here is a picture of a Dolphin and a whale:

There was a far better sonic comic that came out from sega/sonic team before the first game was relased and was givin out free, and you got one with the game near launch of sonic 1.

so when i was younger I took a bunch of them since the dude at the counter said I could.


I should scan it,


it explains why sonic is blue and why Dr.eggman is dr eggman,


hint involves egg soda and a waky ass machine...

It never made it passed issue 1.


and no i dont want one based on the archies comic after seeing that comic and how much better it was i never cared for it.
