Don't you prefer the 8-bit games too? (I really need to play those more)Quote:

I didn't mid metropolis Zone as much as others, but I think it's also mostly due to being worn down by previous levels.(I don't think I've gotten past that, maybe my brother has)
I still like Sonic 3&K most. (save feature, replay, and infinite continues all top it off nicely too)
What's "cheap" in Mystic Cave Zone?
My only problem with Sonic 2 (as well as S3&K) is that I've always found it to be a bit too easy.
I feel exactly the same way.Quote:

It was the opposite case for me, actually. Although I think I'd enjoy the first game a lot more if I got the opportunity to play it with 2 players instead of myself. The second game didn't work in 2-player for me very well, though. :?Quote:

AGGH LEMMINGS 2!!!
The flasher badnik is annoying as hell though, and the spikes and pitfalls. Maybe its more the jump in difficulty compared to the preceding stages.Quote:

I do like the music, it's got a unique sound, actually somewhat reminiscent of some of the Road Rash music. (especially the title music)
You'll have to bear in mind that I'm not really great at platformers, so when there's a fun, well designed game that's not particularly tough, I'll take it. ;)Quote:

Perhaps that's also why I don't really love the NES, but like it OK. (it was our first and only console until 1996 -barring PC and a 2600 in storage)
I really need to add a bit to my profile so I can point to that rather than explain this in discussions. ;)
Lemmings 2 is pointless and overcomplicated (plus my PC version never worked properly :P). Perhaps I never played it enough - but I wouldn't say it's awful.Quote:

Im torn on Lemmings2. I re-read the manual the other day because I fancied a bash and havn't played it in sooooo long. Fuck is that thing complicated, ground lemmings, air lemmings, shooter lemmings, building lemmings, lemmings lemmings...tis too much so I calmly put it back in its box and sat it back on the shelf.
the played Ghosts n' Ghouls.
Totally, 100% agree with you. The first is in my top ten fave games for the Mega Drive, but every time I put on Lemmings 2, i quickly turn it off after a couple of seconds of play...Quote:

Sonic 1 may have slow sections, but there's always something to do so you spend time concentrating on playing it properly.
Sonic 2 is fast, but in many of the levels theres so little player interaction that you start to switch off and feel like you're going through the motions, the game then becomes tedious.
I hate Sonic 3 with a passion right now. Just got it with Sonic and Knuckles, and it froze like six times. Once in a special stage, twice during hydrocity zone, and three fucking times during marble garden zone...the last time being at the very end of the level while fighting the damn boss!!
I was so insanely angry. Luckily, after taking some alcohol and cotton swabs to the contacts, it looks like everything is fine. But man, what a ripoff.
Anyways, as far as sequels go, I'd have to say Vectorman 2. While I was able to sit through and beat the whole game, and had a decent time doing it, it is really dissapointing as a sequel for me. The environments are drab and shitty; it's like an entire game made up of levels you hate to play in normal games. "Oh fuck, the cave level, I hate that level. Oh damn, the lava level, this one sucks. Oh SWEET, the beach level?? That's my favorite!" Yeah, no beach levels here. Just depressing crap.
Yeah I really hated Vectorman 2 as well, its just frustrating in a time consuming way and everything looks tiny and worse than the original.
