I used to LOVE this game when i ws younger, i actually prefere this one to the megadrive version. Thik it was one of the first games i completed back in the day too. Good review :)

Same this, this is much better than the first Sonic on the MD and I like it as much as the second MD Sonic.

Thanks :)

this game is way too hard in my opinion

[DEIVION212]

It still sucks that on the Wii, which is basically an emulator, we didn't get the option to play at 60hz because some games are a bit shit when slowed down.

@DEIVION212

The best way to explain the speed issues is any European/Japanese games played on Virtual Console (so anything Master System or specifically Mega Drive not Genesis) will run equivalent to playing the game at 120% speed on an emulator, where as any Genesis games played on a Mega Drive (or on an old European 50Hz Monitor/TV like mine) only play equivalent to 86% speed on an emulator. This means to a European gamer, the Master System game feels 34% faster than the Mega Drive one.

[DEIVION212]

This is faster because this was made after the Genesis/Mega Drive Sonic game and because we only get 50hz versions of games on the U.K/EU VC.

@DEIVION212 ...So even though this guy said the Master system has only 8-bit, it's faster? or did he have the wrong info?

[DEIVION212]

In Europe our games are 50hz whereas your games are 60hz. And while I don't know all the technicallities of what they mean, in laymens terms. 50hz games run slower.

So ALL of our classic games (On VC or cart) run REALLY slowly when compared to the NA ones.

And Sonic 1 on the Genesis/MD is so slow, that THIS is actually faster.

what?

[DEIVION212]

On 50hz though, believe it or not but this is faster than the MD Sonic 1.
