Oh Man I gad both those boxes. The picture hits a certain way.

Drowning still gives me anxiety because of this game.

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

I also don't like to drown.

The end of Labyrinth Zone… drowned so many times there.

It was the chemical zone escalators for me. And the areas where you could fall so far without any way to rescue yourself, except to wait until you land and desperately try to climb back out.

Genesis was my first console, I grew up playing sonic 2 and ghouls 'n ghosts

Not for retail, but you still got it in a case that was otherwise the same as a retail clamshell. That's an additional cost that would almost certainly get cut if these consoles were coming out today.

Are most pack-ins these days even physical copies? Feels like most are digital downloads.

I also still have these plus Sonic 3, Sonic & Knuckles, and even Sonic 3D.

I also have the random match 3 Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine game.

Sonic spinball! That game makes me rage to this day.

[–] ObsidianZed@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I don't believe I have that one, but I remember renting it!

[–] GFGJewbacca@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

Sonic and Knuckles is one of the best games out there because of the cartridge slot on top. Playing Sonic 2 as Knuckles was so much fun.

Reminds me, I have a few Sega and Nintendo peripherals I should get round to selling.

[–] 0x0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 10 months ago

Sonic looks pregnant in the first game. Oh, that must be the baby in the sequel.

[–] Thrickles@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

Still the best OST too.

I don't think I have the case for her 2nd in the series, but I was definitely lucky enough in 2020 to get a Genesis, Sonic 1 & 2, 3D Blast, and Spinball.

They are such great retro games.
