Yes it does I just tried it. Just go to Sonic 1 and then when it gets to the title screen press Up, down, left, right then hold down Y then press start. That will take you to the cheat menu then you can do the rest from there.
Hey sinister, if you push Up, C, Down, C, Left, C, right, C, hold A, Start then you start the game in debug mode and can do lots of cool shit. I never seem to have that issue of not getting the "HAPPY ENDING". ;)
Yeah I know man. I didn't feel like putting it in the video. But I wish I would have. This is just an old video I had on my hard drive that I never did anything with. Hey, remember that one time you played this game while streaming? NO HAPPY ENDING FOR YOU! Also, I recorded the debug mode using my capture device. I didn't want 10,000 noobs saying I hacked an emulator or something lol.
You didn't man. Unless you are thinking of a different time. But I know you can get the happy ending so no big deal. I am thinking about deleting this video. It seems I can never make a video that some one is completely happy with. I put up a cheat for Sonic and people make it like I don't know all the cheats or need to use them. But if I would have put up the captured game footage then noobs would have thought it was fake. I just can't win. All I wanted to do is help people.
Wow that's cool....I think I figured that out a long time ago or maybe I read something about it in a EGM, but I forgot you could do that by now.
That's a cool trick to bring back up to the forefront. I might have to try that for old times sake as I was playing Sonic 1 on my actual Genesis not too long ago. But I kept dying in the Labyrinth zone Act 2/3 :/
There are people that haven't beaten Sonic? Oh yeah, it's not a FPS so none of these young whippersnappers know what it is. So disheartening that kids mainly only play shit like CoD, Halo and guitar hero/rock band type games. Am glad to see that Street Fighter 4 and MvC2 on XBLA are getting mad love this year, 'cause fighting games are where it's at, take wayyyyy more strategy than your fuckin' lame FPS games!
Man I want to play that game so bad! I have to save all my money for the fucking dentist. Right now I can only talk very carefully by not opening one side of my mouth all the way. When I do it feels like my brain is going to explode or something. This is just one of many old videos that I keep on my hard drive so I have something to upload.
to tell you the truth i think all these clasic games are harder then modern ones. For example i've never beat any of my genesis games, but i can get threw a 360 (depending on the genre) in like a few days or hours.
I never passed this game Sonic was too hard for me ;/ xD he moves too fast for my slow eyes... Great vid though dude, I'll have to try that someday. I saw your other review of Sonic Spinball, Can you do a review for that when you have time? that'll be interesting ^^ take care!
Nice video man! This is probably one of my favorite games of all time.
Another fun cheat:
Up, C, Down, C, Left, C, Right, C, A+Start; this allows you to enter debug mode, pretty fun to screw around in some levels. You can place rings, robots, monitors, and even some unused sprites!
Haha yeah that one rules. I did have footage of that one as well but couldn't find it on my hard drive. I like to be a tree or some other weird thing and make it zoom across the screen really fast lol.
Very handy cheat this. Also, just to be picky, you don't have to press up, down, left and right on the title screen if you've already done it (you just press A and start).
One of my absolute favorite games on any system !! It's really worth playing this game through without the cheat at least once because it's such a fantastic journey.
Having said that, it's great to be able to chill out on the Starlight Zone whenever you like... man I love the music on those stages.
You'd be cool to get high with

It's kinda like the Contra code. I remember doing this when I was much younger, but I had forgotten about this code. Thanks for reminding me.

Yeah I thought I was doing good and I was like I'm going to beat this smoothly and then all of a sudden I kept dying.
I'll get my revenge. I wanted to play Starlight zone again too without cheating.
