I found this disc at my local gaming store for five bucks the other day, but won't be able to play it anytime soon because my Sega CD is about a hundred miles away from me at the moment.
How's the game compare to say.. Sonic's 1-3. I know people have talked about it here before, but I never really paid attention, as I figured I'd never get my hands on the game.
The controls aren't as tight on Sonic CD as it is on the other Genesis Sonics, but in my opinion Sonic CD is the best 2d Sonic Game made. Sonic 3 & Knuckles is close, but not quite there. You just bought yourself a real gem.
Whats with sonic 3 and knuckles?!?! Why does everyone say that, what does it have over normal sonic 3 (aside from knucles) and whats 3 with knuckles have over just plain ol sonic and knuckles???
Well, Sonic and Knuckles' stages were supposes to be in Sonic 3, but due to time contraints, were taken out. Sega then had the marketing idea for "Lock-On" technology which was kinda cool. Still is fun to play Sonic 2 and Knuckles on the Nomad.
Sonic CD for some reason is regarded by a lot of people as the best Sonic yet. But I disagree. Sonic One is still the best. Sonic CDs levels are a mess.
indeed....for some reason sonic 1 grabs me like no other. but ilove the sonic cd bonus stages the most.
I agree with the Master of Clashing, except the part about Sonic 1 being the best. Man, those Sega CD levels really are a mess.
Taloony, do a search on this board and look for sonic cd threads, we've discussed the game at length in the past.
Sonic 2 is tops on my list.
For mosty nostalgic reasons, Sonic 2 has always been my favorite in the series. I think the combination of the memorable music, levels, and addition of Tails are what did it for me.
Little known fact- Those without a Sega CD can play Sonic CD via the Sega Smash Pack (PC).
Wowzers!
I'm still glad I've got my original copy of Sonic CD.
Sonic 2 is the best in the series. Not hard in the least (given the fast paced nature of the game, difficulty is NOT good for it.) The classic tunes and enemies make it even better.
Hmm. Thanks for the input guys. And Regus, I'll do a search on it later tonight when I have a bit more time.
I always liked Sonic CD the best.
Sonic CD was neat, but I never really liked it TOO much...
Still, I could never say which among the Sonics I enjoyed most...
So...
...I'll just say I like my Sonic Jam.
You might want to try spinning that disc in GENS. Sega CD emulation is rock solild these days.
Personally, I think he should try KEGA instead.
...also, try and hunt down the Sonic CD Beta. It's ...interesting...
? To be honest, I have no idea as to what you're talking about.Quote:

Umm, nevermind. One quick search later. Thanks.
Emulation=Evil.
It's 3:40, that's as much as I'm ranting on the subject.
It's perfectly legal, considering he already owns the goddamn game. This kneejerk "emulation is always bad" bullshit has to stop.Quote:

Actually, my lazi...tiredness, yeah, that's it, prevented me from elaborating. I see no real problem with the emulation of the Sega CD since you have to at least own the game to use them, even better, own the full system, and just use the emulator as a back-up.
Theres nothing wrong with having ROMs of 10 year old games , unless they're being rereleased.(like those E -reader games)
Sonic CD is amazing from what Ive seen. I played this game back in the day and it's probably the best in the series followed by #3,

Sega CD emulation is much, MUCH more complete in GENS. In fact it runs every game made for Sega CD, and 95% without any glitches. Not to mention which GENS emulation is much more accurate to begin with. It would be kinda silly to use Kega (I mean it's a nice emu and all, but...)Quote:

But we\'re talking about emulating a real disc here.Quote:

Hmm. For some reason I seem to be having a huge problem with configuring my BIOS files in GENS. Everything appears to be in place. Not sure what's up.
Edit: Just needed to restart. Love Windows.
