The only thing I ever noticed was some sound inaccuracy in Columns, which was negligible. Supposedly the sound inaccuracies are most extreme in Golden Axe III, but...heh...I couldn't tell you if that was true or not. That would require me to play Golden Axe III, which I never did.Quote:

I'll be able to bag all the women!
Speaking of which, are there actually bosses in Sonic's two player mode? I thought it was just a race to the finish. Please be gentle on me, I don't really like Sonic games and haven't played any of his games much beyond part 1.
I don't believe so. I haven't played that two player mode in a long time, but I'm pretty sure that Eggman is just replaced by another sign post.
There aren't bosses, so this has confused me.Quote:

You can indeed do that in Sonic 2.Quote:

Come on Sega, Sonic 2 is your best game EVER, how did you mess that up?
Ummmm.... uhhh... I'll concede to best Sonic game ever, but Sega's best game overall? Not even close! Hell, probably not even in the top 25!Quote:

Still, how they did they mess that up? I demand answers Sega!
Just be happy that they didn't label it as Sonic 3 in the actual game as well, though that would have been hilarious!
SEGA's best games are Super Thunder Blade, Bonanza Bros., and Flicky. Just ask them, they will tell you.
I've not received the game (disc? compilation?) yet, but are you certain they've not just fired a few screenshots onto the back of the box, with the names of the included games? Rather than 'deliberately' mis-labelling screenshots, I mean.Quote:

I don't have the game yet but I believe Golden Axe, SOR 2, Sonic 2, and 1 other game had small screenshots with the title of it in the upper left hand corner of the screen. If they did as you say instead of mis-citing the game, it seems just a little odd that they would present it in such a way, but it IS Sega we're talking about here. A lot of things they do make me go :daze: anyways.
Sometimes the inner fanboy in me thinks this. However, then I remember their games are made by people with jobs, and that they're not grown in the quiet Japanese sunshine, painstakingly tended in their vast greenhouses by wizened old men with twinkly eyes. Thus, I balance hope with pragmatism, and achieve enlightenment.Quote:
