It was always quite exciting to find a new pathway I didn't know was previously there. Looking around the stages trying to find every shortcut or ring monitor was very fun. When I got to Spring Yard, I began to explore around the game and this is where I began to truly appreciate the level design in this game. The game proved to be quite challenging, but each time I played, I got a little bit further. For a so-called speedy game, it sure is sluggish.Ģ: there was a speed cap when Sonic was running on his feet, which meant Sonic wouldn't be moving really fast unless he was rolling. Some issues I noticed while playing the first two zones over and over again were that:ġ: the pacing was terrible, the game was so slow if I wasn't in Green Hill Zone. As a five year old, I could never get past Marble Zone Act 3. I always remembered watching the demo when nobody was playing, and I'd see Spring Yard Zone, and I'd be in awe. Take note, I was only five years old, so I wasn't that good, but I was better than any of them, thus making me feel powerful.

So, when I sat down to play, all the kids would watch me play. I had plush dolls and Mcdonalds toys and everything. I was the biggest Sonic nerd at the time. This is where I got my fix, for I didn't get Mega Collection for quite some time.įirstly. I don't know why they had the original Genesis, for this was when the Nintendo 64 was out. Most of them were educational games like 'Bert and Ernie Create Bombs' or something, but, for the original Sega Genesis, they had Sonic 1. So, one day, my mom dropped me off at the kid's center at Giant Eagle, and inside there they had puppets, movies, toys, and games. I didn't particularly enjoy following my mom around with a list, checking things off when she threw them into our shopping cart.

When I was a kid, my mom always took me grocery shopping with her to a grocery store called Giant Eagle. My earliest memory of this game is one I know none of you will share. This game was really good, and it still holds up today. I do distinctly remember getting this game at Wal-Mart one day, but it was over 10 years after the original release, and it wasn't even the Sega Genesis version, it was the PS2 release on the Mega Collection. My first point is that this is not the first Sonic game I ever played. Sonic the Hedgehog 1 was released for the Sega Genesis in 1991, or the Mega-Drive for anybody not in America.
