While looking to see if I had any Sonic merch, I found this fella. It's basically a family heirloom at this point along with the Genesis itself. Shits older than me, but it still works great and I still play it constantly (along with Virtua Fighter)

I used to put every cartridge we had into sonic and knuckles. While I always got this screen, I ended up actually enjoying the blue sphere stages a lot and got really aquatinted them because of it. I played through variations of these stages before school for about 4 years.

@Cybershell, I guess I'm particularly that theoretical guy who played special stages for years lol

We eventually had Sonic 1 on the 6-Pak that I played, but I never got to play Sonic 2 until high school on an emulator. This was the first Sonic game I ever played, with Sonic 2 for the Game Gear immediately after that lol

I think I'm just gonna dedicate this thread to all the stuff I have on Genesis (which isn't a lot). There's a lot I can say about each game . It was basically my only way to play games on the TV, which I liked way more than handheld back then
