http://www.ebaumsworld.com/sonic.html
Might be old...but who ****ing cares...This is the FULL VERSION of...I think Sonic and knuckles...I dunno, but it RULES!!! It's the FULL VERSION I tells ya!
TEH FULL VERSION!!!11!!!!!!!
*goes and plays some more*
-
very cool but it's sonic advance a slightly less than perfic imitation of the origonal (the controles in the advance versions are less useful like there is only one speed in the spin dash and you go faster when not in the spin atack)
if you want some cool sonic stuff people found an old sonic 2 beta version with some lost levels on it, only one of them is in any thing that comes close to being playable (most of them are empty haveing only cool sounding names to taunt you, like Genocide City), but it's interesting.
I'll post the ROM (it's beta and nearly unplayable so I doubt it falls under the illigal distribution of abandonware) if anyone wants to take a look at it,
and on the subject, did you know that there is aparently a live and kicking sonic modding comunity, hacking the hell out of the old roms, makeing new levels (ect)

Screw Sega Emulators, Sonic
omg
*grabs flametrthrower*
BTW: u sure this a recreation of any sonic game?
-
it seems to be a fairly faithful recreation of Sonic Advance
-
...Why...do I always get flamed when I post something....this is getting to be alot like WS in a way...
...At least Bob actually found it interesting...
-
Not bad. A little slow, but probably accurate for a GBA game.
-
yeah nothing like the true sonic games were you cover three miles in half a second
-
wow :eek:
-
here (http://freespace.volitionwatch.com/blackwater/sonic2beta.zip) is that beta, just hit a + start during the title screen and it'll take you to the level select screen, lots of weird interesting things in there, unfortunately most of them were scraped :(
-
i wish flash had a fullscreen option, i dont like squinting to play games.
-
It does actually...just...dunno what you do to get the full screen...
-
Pfff, I just bought Super Mario World for my GBA, I'm addicted again.
-
you know recently I went back and tryed to play mario again and it turns out I suck.
-
Whoooee! Thanks for the link :D

[color=66ff00]As a kid who came from the Snes vs. Megadrive era I'm still in shock. :)

arghh... Is SEGA dead?
What a shame...
-
SEGA is just a software developer now. They've given up making consoles since people stopped buying theirs after the Genesis.
-
After the Genesis???
You probably forgot Master System, Master System II, Mega Drive 1&2, Saturn and the Dreamcast...
Damn, i've had some great gaming time on a mega drive, almost as much as i had on the old Intellevision...

seeing as I was a nintendo fanboy back then (practically I still am, but...), I was in less of a shock. In fact, that made it possible to play some of those games on the nintendo consoles instead. win-win.

[color=66ff00]And could have been a competitor if it hadn't have been for bad advertising choices. :(
I bought one though and still rate shenmue as the most rewarding gaming experience I've ever had. :nod:

The Genesis came AFTER the Megadrive I and Megadrive II. It was the last truly commercially successful Sega console. The Sega CD (and the CDX mini system) flopped pretty badly.
The Saturn didn't do so well either. Whilst it had the best sprite system available on a console at the time, it didn't have such good 3d support. Sony sucked up the market with 3d graphics. Toshinden, though hardly a good game, drew people to the Playstation, and the richer third party support kept them there. The Saturn did pretty well in japan (mine's a japanese one. I bought it the first day the cheaper clamshell black design was put on the shelves in Tokyo).
By the time the Dreamcast came along, Sega was already in the habit of handing their lunch to Sony. Even with a year's head start, Sony's Playstation 2 walked on the playground stepped on the Dreamcast and sent it packing.
Its a good thing that Sega got out of the hardware business: they simply don't know how to do it. They never marketted the Saturn or Dreamcast well here in the states, nor did they court third parties as aggressively as they should have.
-
I was under the impression that "Genesis" was just the yank name for the Megadrive.
Damn shame about the Dreamcast, such a great console screwed up with ****ty marketing.
Also, I rock at Mario. 66 completed levels out of 96 and I only got it Saturday. Been playing it between level loads on the new Deus Ex (another excellent game I might add) and also sneaking off to the toilets at work for the odd half hour (not that anyone notices, place is like a holiday camp).
-
My mistake. I had somehow confounded the Megadrive and the Master System. Change names where appropriate. The rest of my point remains.
-
I have to agree on the Dreamcast...
The little known detail is that it was dreamcast's failure that persuaded Microsoft to enter directly into the console market...
Dreamcast was powered by an heavily modified version of Windows CE, making it a sorta of X-Box predecessor...
-
Meh, I used to love 'Yars Revenge' on the really really old Atari console, used to get mega scores on that ;) The other cool one was the Binatone, I had the one with the 'light gun', which was much more fun ;)
Flipside :D
-
Just to clear out doubts, the "Genesis" was the American version of the "Mega Drive". But even so they were not fully compatible, meaning some games that worked on the Genesis would not work on the Mega Drive and vice-versa.
-
Are you sure?
In Europe there were both Mega Drive and Genesis, so i'm led to believe they were different consoles.

They weren't. In the UK at least you had the Megadrive and a smaller Megadrive 2 that had a built in game. No Genesis that I know of.
-
In italy i saw Megadrive and Genesis in the same store, so i'm sure they were at least both sold here...

when was that? it was most probable an imported genesis unit.
-
somewhere around mega drive launch date, i remember that because i saw the genesis in the store before the mega drive was launched here...
-
Possibly the store selling grey imports? I know for certain that there was only Megadrives and Master Systems in the UK at that time because I (secretly, being an Amiga owner) desired one greatly.
-
Ah... MegaDrive and Sonic that came with it. My very first video game :) It took some time before I even managed to beat the first level :D

should be quite cheap now. I bought my copy of SMW at least a year ago. no, wait. two years ago, I think. 'course, you'd need a game boy advance too, but everyone with selfrespect has one.

Tsk tsk. The Dreamcast booted to a custom WinCE environment. HOWEVER this environment was completely bypassed when you booted to a game. It, in no way was an ancestor of the Xbox. The Xbox runs on a stripped down version of Windows Embedded, which is itself a stripped down version of Win2k. It is not based on Windows or "PocketPC" as its now called.

It was meant in a much wider sense, as the first MS step into consoles world...

In fact, a few games did use the WinCE portion of the OS, they were the shoddiest games on the DC. Tomb Raider springs to mind, an awful port of an average game.

Happy days eh ? School Yard battle grounds.
Mega Drive only has 512 colours!! SNES has over 1000!! And can do proper rotation!! So screw you guys!!

I seriously wish I hadn't bought it, the game is like crack, I can't put it down until I beat the high score and find every last level. I've already unlocked all the secret, secret levels even the special ones that are hard as ****. It's just a matter of time, mwahahahaha.
