| Sonic the Hedgehog | Sega (Ancient) | 1991 | [22]***Score shown on Mega Force #27 (Apr. 1994) [26]*** [37]*** [27]***Ah yes, Sonic. We know about this game, right? Blue Hedgehog runs fast, collects rings, thwarts plans, frees animals encased in unfeeling metal, is charged with the mystical energies of special emeralds. Classic! Actually the Game Gear version is a slightly different spin on the original – it’s the same version as appeared on the SEGA Master System: half of the zones feature a different design than the 16-bit counterpart, and it has different level design and story elements. Notably, the game also featured original music from chiptune wizard Yuzo Koshiro – the same musician who created the amazing tracks for the Streets of Rage series and contributed fifteen original tracks to Shenmue. | labelimagesubject |
| Sonic the Hedgehog 2 | Sega (Aspect) | 1992 | Brazilian version distributed by Tec Toy. Korean version distributed by Samsung.***Score shown on Mega Force #27 (Apr. 1994) [26]*** [37]***[media=youtube]EYQhe5wskN0[/media]*** [29]*** [27]*** [20]***As with the other Sonic games that appeared on both 16-bit and 8-bit systems, Sonic 2 was a unique take on the game instead of just a half-the-bits adaptation. There were unique levels, different music, and a challenge suited for a portable system. Notably, Sonic 2 also had unique boss enemies — instead of fighting incarnations of Robotnik, Sonic did battle with unique robot enemies, before facing down the bad doctor in a climactic battle worthy of the epic end-encounter of the Genesis version. Features: * Ride a runaway mining cart and fly on hang gliders, feather-light bubbles and whirling flywheels to zip through Zones. * Face six terrifying Master Robots on your journey to stop the evil Dr. Eggman! * Bonus Hint! The panel which swings around at the end of levels will always feature a Robotnik, denying you any sort of bonus ... unless you have a "0″ in the 1s place of your ring total (10, 20, etc), in which case you will be awarded 10 bonus rings. | labelimagesubject |
