Remember just running as fast as you could to the right, while jumping over (or on XD) enemies trying to make your way to Dr. Robotnik (Eggman for you later entrants)? Well I do. I spent hours and hours playing Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and it about ties with my favorite game of all time alongside A Link to the Past. His newer games while not horrible, haven't left much of the speed intact, but I hope Generations fixes this. I always remember playing Sonic 2 and always asking my dad to help me beat Robotnik (He will always be Robotnik to me) in Casino Night Zone. For some reason I could never pull it off. How about you? Got any great, or not so great, or embarrassing Sonic stories you would like to share, I'd love to hear them and share more!

Sonic is my favorite video game character of all time, hands down. <3 ALTHOUGH I'm more a fan of "modern" Sonic than "classic" Sonic. Most of the 3D titles (excluding Secret Rings, piece of garbage) are incredible to me, as they give a sense of depth and control that the 2D ones did not, and when they added 2D sections to games like Unleashed and Colors, that was the nail in the coffin for me. At the same time, though, I agree with Jay in that Sonic 2 is prolly my favorite "classic" Sonic game, with Sonic 3 following closely behind. I've never gotten to play as Super Sonic before--heck, I've ever even BEATEN any of the "classic" Sonic games--but it sounds like it'd be awesomeee~ =D

Even though I grew up playin the 3-dimensional Sonic games I still like the original 2-D sonic ges better because it was a lot simpler and easy to pick up and play. The only 3-D sonic games I really liked was Adventure Battle 1 and 2. And I still remember playing sonic and being stuck on the egg-Cerberus thing (first boss) and getting very mad and forcing my dad to do it for me. For the first few years of me playing it I never made it past stage 2

Yeah, that's also true. Love me some Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. Never really played the first Adventure much, but I did enjoy what I did play. =D
"Classic" Sonic is especially easy as a "pick-up-and-play" kinda game with all the handheld remakes and stuff, not to mention the Retro Gen. So glad I got the Sonic Collection for the DS. WAY better re-ports than freaking Sonic The Hedgehog Genesis for GBA. Piece of garbage. D<

True. Some of the new hand held sonics are fun and same with the 3-D stuff, but the franchise wouldnt be where it is today without the originals.

Absolutely. It's really apparent in the Sonic Generations demo, in my opinion, since the "classic" Sonic section FEELS a lot like the older games. It's almost like they literally updated the visuals and audio and said, "Are you ready for the BEST SONIC GAME EVER? Here's a taste of it, sucka!" xD

Can't wait~ Worst part about it, though, is that I'll have to end up getting a PS3 sometime, since I don't have one and two games I want are coming out (Sonic Generations and Tales of Graces f). D=
Y'know what they should try? Remaking the first few games. Update the graphics and audio and whatnot, and try really, REALLY hard to replicate it in the same way. And maybe add some bonus content. THAT would sell hardcore. =O

You need you a lesson in the ways of old Super Sonic, back when speed was king, and getting the emeralds was less of a handout and part of the story like now a days. You do not know SPEED unless you've played as SS in Sonic 2, to me anyway!

I know, it's almost sinful! XD;
SOMEDAY I'll play as Super Sonic in a 2D game. Nowadays, Sonic's "ultimate form" is pretty much like a reward for making it to the final boss, and I don't even think Super Sonic is in Sonic Colors at all (although there IS "Color Sonic," which kinda counts?). But I'm sure it's real different. o_oa

I don't know the rules for links but. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iO-0tp1uPVI about halfway through you see. Also he tells you and shows you how to cheat your way to Super Sonic if you don't have the patience to do it the real way. I have done it the real way, and cheats so I won't judge! XD Also its on the Wii for this fottage which may benefit you Bushy LOL. But in a nutshell, think of Running Shoes, with invincibility, and just looking awesome.

Thought you would like that. to kind of go back on topic (AFTER I took it kinda off topic XD), I remember the first time I got all the emeralds. While it was years after Sonics prime, it was still an impressive feat. All the lives lost, hours "lost", and determination. I still have trouble to this day getting all 7 in Sonic 2, whew.

Yeah, those Emerald mini-games are HARD. Never gotten seven of them. Especially in the first one where my eyes kinda die every time I visit the crazy spinning animal area with all the gems and crap. D=

I think it would be kinda cool if they redid the sonic games. Then they should put it onto one disk. So it would be Sonic 1-3(original) and Sonic 1-3(Updated) so your can compare them.
