My favorite feature of the Game Gear was that I could burn through $30 in batteries in a single day.
My parents loved that.
Mod your Game Gear with a better modern backlight screen and you'll get a big boast of battery life along with it. I had mine mod and it last around 10-12 hours of continuous gameplay rather than the usual 3-6 hours.
Voan Siam I was like, seven.
Cameron Wasmund If you still had one now, you can had someone mod it for you. Remember the Game Gear never died, if the screen on your Game Gear ever look scrap, just had someone replace the capacitor and the screen you'll be right back at playing portable GG again.
Ubggg
where did you get it done?
0:05 NOT FOR RESALE was my favorite Sonic game! I played it all the time as a kid!
Yeah, I agree! It’s a classic!
You never heard of not for resale 2? It’s awesome
Not for Resale with a line

NOT FOR RESALE Triple Trouble is way better imo.
Eh... I preferred NOT FOR SALE Colors.
I feel like the Game Gear Sonic games have the most unique aesthetics and music. It’s definitely worth checking them out.
What really sucks is that Sonic Chaos is the only Sonic Game Gear game that ISN'T on the 3DS eShop.
It amazes me how fucking Sonic Labyrinth made it but not Chaos.
@@NicoTheBear64 you are awesome
Rednax They need to bring these games to the switch
Yep. AND F****** WHY! Labyrinth sucks! SUCKS!
ONLY IN ERUOP WUS IT REALESED SONIC CHAOS ON THE MASTER SYTEM
Triple Trouble did have something memorable, that awesome train boss music.
Dude yes I love that song
yeah totally not something unused in Sonic Chaos totally original song, yeah totally nothing suspicious here
@@SomariTheAdventurerJam6
And TOTALLY not pitched...
I just love the full game. Sunset park is hard.
Sunset Park, baby, good times
Tails' Adventure should get a sequel/reimagining. It was a great little spinoff title.
imagien tales sky patrol and tales adventer in one game (there are platformers with space ship shooting levels in them)
I agree. I loved tails adventure. I came close to beating it.
It would be a great time to bring it back, especially because it's rare that new Metroidvania games get made these days (aside from indie games of course).
SEGA should make a remake on the 3DS, it's my favourite game on GameGear.
only problem is people would complain about Tales being "too slow"
Who's here after the announcement of the game gear games coming to Origins Plus?
I am

1:41 oh. My. God. Back in the day I've always sung both indifferently as it was the same melody, and now I learn that one has inspired the other.
Sonic's sprites from Triple Trouble were reused for two bootleg Sonic games, "Sonic 3D Blast 5" and "Sonic Adventure 7."
Not that ear-raping cartridge...
Earape 👂 🔊
I love sonic adventure 7
Don't you mean NOT FOR RESALE 3D Blast 5 and NOT FOR RESALE Adventure 7?
and Sonic Blast,too
When I was a kid, the “rich” kids parents bought their kids Game Gears. I had to borrow my older brother’s Game Boy.
I played a friends and remember they had it at the dentist's office and I was playing it when I was getting a cavity filled (which turned out not to be a cavity after all they made a mistake)
Not gonna lie, that 11:54 second mark with the lady speaking. Reminded me of when I watched PBS kids as a kid, very nice touch.
I really enjoy your laid back style of delivery, you don't try too hard to be funny or tell lame jokes like a lot of gaming TH-camrs do to be entertaining.
Keep up the good work!
Janet Jackson sampled Sonic 1 GG? Crazy! and I thought Michael Jackson composing Sonic 3 was mindblowing enough.
keeping it in the family
That just blew my mind right there, and wasn't expecting it ether!
just shows how good sonic music iz
It's clearly not a sample
Really? I remember watching a video that really studied MJ's involvement with Sonic 3, and after asking just about everyone they could, the conclusion they reached was that MJ composed a handful of the songs, but left on his own volition and asked not to be credited.
Sonic Triple Trouble was the perfect blend of all the previous handheld Sonic attempts. It even had Metal Sonic in it.
Yeah... Triple Trouble was awesome
Cool , it was on game gear!?? I was a gameboy kid an always jelly of my friends that had the game gear def remember sonic 2
I remember watching this video!
It should been 16 bit on genesis
in the cartoon series, metal sonic was actually Sonic's Uncle Chuck. Fun fact.
I was watching this video again and just realized that the glider Sonic uses in Sonic 2 ( 3:15 ) is the same that he uses in the stage transition at the end of Flying Battery Zone in Sonic Mania. Jesus, I love that game.
Welcome to a new episode! My first experience with Sonic as a kid was on the Game Gear, so I decided to showcase all of the Sonic Game Gear titles. A few of these are really good and are definitely worth picking up. Just make sure you can find a working Game Gear!
Great video
I had two or three Sonic games on Game Gear. Remember Chaos well. Only one I beat.
+Gaming Historian Are working game gears hard to find?
Why do you think black knight is bad at least it's not as bad as sonic labyrinth or secret rings
I do agree, but its his opinion however but you gotta admit , black kinght had an awesome soundtrack
I adore triple trouble on the GG. It also did the special stages in a different way.
Triple Trouble was the best GG Sonic game. In fact I'm shocked you think Chaos is better than Triple Trouble. Truth be told I love all of the GG Sonic games though, the GG was super underrated.
I think that Tails Adventure is the best GG game
I agree with you. Chaos is a close second though.
Let’s see....
Sonic Labirynth,sonic blast,sonic drift,THE LIST GOES ON,DUDE.
Me too
Theres no way he didnt finish Triple Trouble. Anyone who did would agree its the best one by far. Chaos was really good but Triple Trouble fixed all the mistakes of the previous ones.
It’s funny that the game gear was so much more advanced than the game boy at the time. The Game Gear was my first gaming device. It’s also the reason why my first console was the Genesis. I was a Sega kid and not a Nintendo kid. This was all due to the Sega Game Gear! Man I wish I still had mine. I also wish Sega was still in their prime and still making game hardware. Imagine a re-release of a sega game gear!!! Am I the only person who was in love with this bad boy!!!?? Great Video! Thanks You!!

I disagree with you on Sonic Triple Trouble. Also, did you know it's the sequel to Sonic Chaos? Sonic Chaos was called Sonic and Tails in Japan, and Triple Trouble was called Sonic and Tails 2 in Japan.
They were released in PAL first though, it was just call that in Japan so to not alienate their audience. Naming them as sequels help the game sell in Japan.
+Voan Siam I'm aware of that, but Wikipedia literally said that it was a sequel, and keep in mind that it was in fact developed by a Japanese company (and the only reason why it was released in PAL regions first was because it was originally for the master system, which didn't even exist outside of said regions).
+TheMGMfan I just did some research after posting that reply, and it turns out there apparently was no master system release, so it would only make sense to make it as Sonic and Tails 2 due to being a sequel to Sonic and Tails (Sonic Chaos here) and being developed by a Japanese company, like I said.
sonic triple trouble was great though
Sonic 1, 2, Chaos, and Spinball were originally for SMS. Sonic 1 was the last official US SMS Release. Blast was released in Brazil.
triple trouble was awesome
I agree
Me too
Yes it was
First Sonic game I ever beat
I recently got a game gear, so I will gladly buy triple trouble. It was my favorite of the bunch.
3:26 guys I can hear the sonic CD intro
This is years old but just in case, th-cam.com/video/4zFB_mpswoY/w-d-xo.html
You mean green hills theme 16 bit (this game came out before the 16 bit sonic 2 so you know what that means)
sonic 1 on the game gear is an under rated game.
so is sonic and the black knight
ya, it is actually really good.
I totally agree Travos. That game alone was the reason I desperately wanted a Game Gear as a kid. An uncle of mine had a GG while I had a Game Boy, and on a trip to Florida I had to jealousy watch him play it on the plane while I struggled to see my Tetris, and Alleyway games. He had the whole set up, the little metal stand, giant screen magnifier clipped over the front, the dildo battery pack etc, and the was always playing Sonic The Hedgehog, Marble Madness, Streets of Rage, I was mesmerized (Little did I know there was such a thing as a Turbo Express that BLEW the G.Gear away). The only thing I had on him was how fun Mario Land was which he even admitted, and my puzzle games Tetris, and Alleyway made his crappy Columns game look like poop. Anyway, the ONE time he let me use it on the trip (He was super anal about keeping the thing in mint condition with his Sega carrying bag and screen cloth, and I was a kid of 7 years...) I played Sonic 1, and I was genuinely floored at how well the game played, and how fun it was in comparison to the Sonic game on my Genesis back home. Nowadays both of my Game Gears have some clearly spent capacitors as the screens don't focus into view, despite one of them being totally mint...it sucks.
+SeGa32xXx the what the what tell me more!!
Indeed. It's a nice challenge that isn't hard for the sake of being hard nor does it have a lot of screen crunch like Sonic 2 8 bit.
As comment 666, I'll give you a little trivia: The voice at the end is none other than the Gaming Historian's wife! Thanks Gloria!
666?!? O_o
Ahhh I'm starting to feel old, Sonic and I are the same age! Loved this video compiling sonic games for the game gear!
I have so much nostalgia for Sonic 2 MS/GG... I loved that game when I had it on my old Wii as a kid... Never could get past the water level though. (I forget what it's called)
I only have one teeny tiny itsy bitsy complaint to make about the video. No mention of Nack The Weasel/Fang The Sniper. Triple Trouble was his very first appearance and you don't mention or even show him. He was also in Sonic Drift 2 which would have been another opportunity to mention him. This isn't a real complaint at all. Was just sad no mention of him. He's just one of those long forgotten characters that I have a strange fondness for. But for real, loved the video! :)
I got Tails' Adventure on my 3DS Virtual Console a while back. It's a pretty cool and unique game.
that Sonic 1 music is amazing, I always loved the Streets of Rage soundtrack.
Sonic Triple Trouble was my favorite. It had a great soundtrack as well. There were some slowdowns here and there, I think... but I never even thought about game development and optimization as a kid so I just thought these were normal.
As for Sonic Labyrinth, it's a good game if you give it a chance. Some of the levels are pretty creative... although I hated the time limit and always trying to beat the clock. Controlling sonic while spin dashing is just a matter of trial and error and some controlled chaos. You press 1 or 2 at the right time so that you stop pretty close to where you were aiming at. The manual had some crackpot explanation for why Sonic's walk speed was so slow. Something about magnetized shoes, I think.
When I was a kid this was my first true experience playing Sonic the Hedgehog. I played it on the Genesis, but only briefly. Still this was a trip back to memory lane. Thank you for doing this video. It truly touch my heart and made me fondly remember my childhood.
If you need to play any version of these games, play the Master System versions (Atleast if its available on that system), the screen crunch is pretty bad on some of these Game Gear versions.
Well, some of them are Game Gear exclusive. As for the ones that got Master System ports, most of those have superior original Genesis versions, anyway.
ESPECIALLY Sonic 2 or Sonic blast
Used to replay Triple Trouble's train boss all the time for the music. Never made it past the jungle stage though, my batteries would always die by that point
By the way, Puyo Puyo/ Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine was also released on the Mega Drive where it is much better in the graphics department.
June Langley yeah.... J A C K A S S
Obviously
June Langley I mean come on. The Genesis was a 16 bit while game gear was an 8 bit.
2017 is gonna be a good year for Sonic.
Will they make Sonic Maker?
+Samuel Ao idiot
too bad nothing will fix sonic at this point
To be fair, Sonic Boom was not made by Sonic Team or related, but by a completly independent team, kinda like how Hotel Mario and CDI Zelda where made by diferent teams.
Sonic Mania.
Mean Bean Machine(Puyo Puyo) is possibly one of the best falling block style puzzle games ever. Especially 2 player. Totally screwing up your opponents plans it's always awesome.
Triple Trouble was the best, especially for its soundtrack , especially the train level
0:15 “bumps in the road”
*shows Black Knight*
I dont care what he says, I have a big place in my heart for Sonic and the Secret Rings
A little disappointed you didn't talk about the developers a bit more, or who was involved with what; but overall this was this was a great episode.
Yeah same here, usually he delves into the "history" (he does call himself "historian"), good video, but would have loved some more behind-the-scenes info as well.
These seemed to be reviews of the games as opposed to a documentary.
Yeah just seemed a big like a bunch of reviews rather than the history of.
Red Mage! You are a jack of all trades but a master of none... but I still pick you up in my Final Fantasy 1 parties once in a while!
Mostly when I go for a party where everyone can deliver good weapon damage(Knight-Monk-Red Mage-only party).
I know you're not the most popular class but.. don't let that sadden you! You're a good character. I believe in you! I love you Red Mage! ;_;
Thanks for this. You are always setting the standard for gaming history on youtube. You are a true talent.
WOW, what a blast from the past. I remember spending countless hours playing Sonic 1, 2, Chaos and Triple Trouble on car rides to my grandmothers house. Thank you for this video.
Mean Bean Machine and Sonic Spinball were both amazing on the Genesis, I didn't even know they were on the Game Gear! Great video, I'm new to your channel and loving it so far
sonic drift 1 is an unlockable game in the us version of the sonic adventure gamecube port and tails skypatrol is in the sonic gems collection for gamecube. So those games did get released in america!
they weren't released in cartridge form on the actual game gear console, so they don't count
+Brandon Martinez counts to me and got release on virtual console so it counts
+Brandon Martinez it counts you idiot
whatever if it counts to you all, it counts to me but i think it just doesn't count to Norm since it wasn't released on the actual game gear in NA, i don't think he's counting virtual console or game cube.
It is worth noting that, on Sonic Adventure DX (the GameCube version only, as the GG games were removed on later ports), you do have to unlock all the games. Still, if you happen to have a GameCube (or one of the earlier backwards-compatible Wii models), and you don't mind playing through several challenges in a 3D Sonic title (albeit one of the best 3D Sonics out there), picking up this game is probably the cheapest option for acquiring the entire GameGear collection. With that said, I find it a real shame that this video never at least mentioned this compilation.
The tails spinoff actually seems fun and playable today. I love emulation and classic gaming, but very few gamegear games are still playable imo.
As somebody who owned a Game Gear and many of those games in the 90's, i enjoyed your review very much
Fun fact: while development of the GG and SMS versions of 8-bit Sonic 1 was officially in tandem, it was actually developed for Game Gear _first._ I think the reverse may be true for 8-bit Sonic 2, which is a shame since North America never did officially get the SMS version.
Sonic Drift always seemed pointless to me, I mean he's supposed to be the fastest ever video game character, so why would he need a car?
Sometimes those stubby little legs need some rest, I suppose!
Because he's lazy
+Larry Bundy Jr I know! I guess that's why they took them out of cars with Sonic R. But we all know how that went....
My best theory was so that everyone else would get a better chance of winning
To be fair
I prefer to play the first two sonic games you mentioned in the master system version. But Genesis ones win undoubtedly
Wow i had such flashbacks to sonic 2 on game gear. I remember playing through it so many times. Such good times except after spending 5 hours playing straight only to have the batteries die on me.
Robotnik's mean bean machine is actually amazing on genesis because the multiplayer is sweet. Even the single player is just MP vs the CPU.
The key is that the beans have gravity and the pieces separate; this allows complex combos (chain reactions) which bury opponent's in mire more and more dead beans.
My late friend and I played a match once.where I cleared 80% of my.board as he was clearing maybe 85 to 90% and he ended up insta-killing me with a full screen of dead beans in one hit. It was epic.
Awesome! I had every one of these except one. The Game Great was really revolutionary though, having a color console in your pocket was amazing in 1991! I remember also on road trips with my family trying get the Game Gear TV tuner to actually get reception..meh, never worked great.
Wow I never had heard of Tails Adventure before, definitely going to check that out!
A friend of mine replaced his Game Gear's LCD with the 'McWill LCD Upgrade' and it looks great! Super-bright, colorful and great off-axis viewing angles. He also replaced all the capacitors. It took about 10-12 hours to do, but it fully restored his system.
These are just so cool dude thanks so much for making this video this is just really neat!! I wonder if they will ever make a game based off of Eggman as the main star or even Chaos or Silver (like they did for Shadow). As well as maybe Amy too. A game that only focuses on her would be legit!
To Anyone Who Doesn't Know Why You Can't Play As Tails, It's Because He's Been Foxnapped By Dr. Robotnik.
@@stonecodfish2365 Game Gear
Fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
@@stonecodfish2365 U Mean 🦊 napping
FoxNapped 😂😂😂 I'll remember that
Yeah I bought this game without looking at the internet reviews and I did see Tails get kidnapped, but I thought if O beat Sonic 2 with getting all the chaos Emeralds then I would get to play as him, too bad that I can't and it sucks.
Sonic 1 and 2 for Game Gear are ports from Master System Versions.
actually the Game Gear version of Sonic 1 is more of a remake, as they made it better for the small resolution of the screen that Sonic 2 on Game Gear didn't do.
Sonic Chaos was a master system port, too.
The Game Gear was essentially a portable Master System
Also Sonic Chaos and Sonic Spinball, and Sonic Blast, Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine
I think the reason why resolution is a problem in some Sonic games for Game Gear is because some of them (like Sonic 2) were also designed for the Master System.
For example, Master System Sonic 1 has several improvements over Game Gear even though it's basically the same game.
Sonic 2 for example uses the Master System Sonic 1 sprite instead of the Game Gear Sonic 1 noseless sprite, it also runs much better on the Master System and doesn't have the same resolution issue.
However, I think there are only a few cases like this, other games like Sonic Blast are the reverse where they were developed designed only for Game Gear and ported to the Master System by other companies.
3:26 Is this song only from the Game Gear Sonic games? IT's so Iconic. It rules.
Majorly disagree with triple trouble. It was a fantastic game and definitely was NOT too easy.
I can tell its not easy
no
no
NoNoNoNo
Triple Trouble is the best Sega Game Gear Sonic title by far. It's the closest to playing a Genesis title on the platform in my opinion. Graphics, music, design, it's all there.
Nice nostalgia trip with this vid. Triple Trouble is god, also love Chaos and S1
Reply plz...
+Sean Lecca (Seanleccaepic123) sup bro
Triple trouble was ass. The only good Sonic GG game was the first one.
+Hotobu oh and Sonic Chaos, that one was solid.
Hotobu i played triple trouble on my 3ds and on a game gear collection handheld thingy and i like it!
Janet Jacksons song or Sonic's music actually sounds like the theme from Full House
You're onto something. Pop music is full of similar phrases and "clichés". Therefore, if two pieces sound similar, it is silly to jump to conclusions and assume that one must have directly inspired the other. It could just be a coincidence.
Though sometimes copying/sampling does happen. It even happened way back in the medieval/renaissance periods, since it was harder to keep track of those sorts of things. Another big example of this is Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom motif, which is very clearly the big riff from Pink Floyd's "Echoes" (released 15 years prior). One could say such a descending scale is common enough, but what about the rhythm? The timing and emphasis of the notes? The dynamic? At some point, you're copying.
I know right!!!!!
there is a bit of an argument relating to that. Some say that Sega was inspired by Full House's theme, and that Janet was inspired by Sonic 1, but of course, a genuine sonic fan knew that Bridge Zone would be reused for Believe in Myself which is Tails' theme in Sonic Adventure
I remember a handful of these on Gems Collection and it was a really nice memory as a kid
I LOVED SONIC CHAOS and there was this one level in SONIC 2 (it mighta even been the first level, you show it here, with the red BG and beige bricks) where I couldn't even pass it, it was so full of instakill. Every once in a while I'd make it through that level, but...yeah, it made me put the set down a number of times. Played these in the car while we were traveling.
I owned every single one of these games...*most* of them were actually pretty good. Quality work, Neil. Keep it up.
Yea lots of them were good, but,sonic blast was bad, labyrinth was meh. Sonic spinball...... that game exists?!
Triple Trouble is excellent and a GG exclusive, which means that it uses the 4096 palette of the console, while Sonic 1/2/Chaos are actually Master System ports. That's why the game is much prettier than Sonic Chaos. Highly recommended game.
Sonic 1 on Game Gear is my favorite Sonic game. It's incredibly well done as a platformer and the music is downright the most amazing 8-bit music i've ever heard. Not even Nintendo, Konami or Capcom hits, while also absolutely beautiful, aren't as good as Yuzo Koshiro's work on Sonic 1. Sonic Chaos is also very fun. Will make sure to play Tails Adventure.
I'm just starting to watch this & already memories are flooding back in.
You could also get the sonic game Gear games in sonic Adventure Dx for the Gamecube, all 10 games + Sonic Drift and Tails Skypatrol that were Japanese only.
I always got the idea that everyone considered Triple Trouble to be the best, actually. I think I'll definitely check out the titles you recommended, though.
One of my crowning achievements in gaming will always be finishing sonic 1, with all the chaos emeralds, on an actual game gear, on batteries.Was worried about that blinking red light, and it took me like 4 months to finally beat it but i did it. Years later I've finished many other games, but this was one of the first games I ever did 100 percent and will never forget it.
Great episode
Always worth the wait! Thanks GH!
agreedd
***** lmfao!
"You can always pick them up on the 3DS and Wii virtual console" 😭
Your videos make any game look awesome. The 60fps shots of the OG sonic on the start were great.
I don't know how, even if the footage looks the same as emulators or the actual game running.
How do you *do* this?
3:33
Don't you think we didn't notice you subtly combining "dampens" and "hampers" right there. We noticed. And we liked it. :D
I always thought that Janet Jackson song sounded like that 2nd level song but no one believed me
Anyone in favor of a remake of some of the game gear titles? It could be a fun collection. They could make the levels a little bit more like Mania's, but still keep the core of what made them likable. Keep what's good. Just fix up what's not so good, and make them feel more like genesis games.
There is a Sonic Chaos HD remake online for freee
Glad we’ll be able to officially play every single game gear game soon!
We need the master system versions to avoid the screen crunch. I hope they offer those
this channel just got so many pure contents, no jokes, just a few comments about the games
Koshiro getting his melody lifted by Janet Jackson might be karma for alot of his Streets of Rage soundtrack sounding awfully close to classic rock songs.
which reminds me, Gamesack needs to do another music episode. or maybe the Gaming Historian would like to tackle the subject 0.o
He also did Actraiser
And Koshiro lifted that part from the theme to Full House. The music playing before that? Ella Fitzgerald's Fever. He does not have an original song idea in his head.
listen to the streets of rage 3 soundtrack and then try to claim he has no originality.
Ninjistic you mean the headache inducing one?
Ken williams Look up Filmoa from Actraiser.
Wait the sonic 2 thing sounds like
TOOT TOOT SONIC WARRIOR
Great video, thanks!
Fantastic video. Personally, I love all of the sonic game gear games. Triple trouble is my favourite
Sonic: Why the hell am I in a car?
'And that's why Sonic Drift sucks!"
Like...for real. I am seriously not a big fan.
Sega: Cause Sonic in the future (possibly 2010), you will be competing in an all out All-Stars race against Alex Kidd, Ryo Hazuki, Ulala, Samba de Amigo, Billy Hatcher, and Banjo-Kazooie. Better prepare yourself cause foot race is forbidden.
MikeifiedYoshi At least it's more functional than Sonic R.
Very true
He's in a car for Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing. I still can't get it as to why Sonic is in a Car when he can Outrun anyone with his feet "and no, Sonic R doesn't Count".
9:14 in the manual, eggman took away his speed shoes,making him slower.
Really?
@@cattygaming2769 true.
@@bannanabread1697 so thats why the game was garbage and sonic was slower!
"Is it a 'Sonic' game? It has Robotnik so, I'ma say yes...."
Logic.
LOLOL
Most people had their sega experience defined by Sonic on Genesis. I had mine defined by Sonic 1 & 2 on the Master System. 2 particularly I loved, was overjoyed when I found that 5th emerald as it took me ages to find in the days before the internet.
The music u played for game gear sonic 2 sounds like the Japanese sonic CD intro song "you can do anything g"
But you said I could ALWAYS pick it up on my Wii Virtual Console 😥
Sonic Triple Trouble was the first video game I ever played. Wish I knew where the system is, haven't seen it in 13 years though...
Sonic Chaos is my fist game on Game Gear, and my favourite Sonic game on the Game Gear.
25 years later I still play it sometimes.
I have all these 10 games..
Why doesn't Tails have more side games?
because everyone wants fast paced Sonic games.
DejaVoodooDoll if other Sega IPs would sell, they wouldn't abandon them so quickly.
DejaVoodooDoll Eternal Champions was meh. It sold well, but it's aged pretty poorly.
I meant like Phantasy Star, Jet Set, Space Channel 5, Samba, Super Monkey Ball, NiGHTS, Ristar, Alex Kidd, Shenmue (the second game flopped hard), 7th Dragon, Valkyria Chronicles, etc.
I can imagine there being a game called Knuckles the Echidna.
@@thelakesterswildworld8335
Knuckles Chaotix.
Sonic now in his 30s...
Are you only saying that because of the song crushing 30’s?
@@NamirK
No, because 8-bit sonic was released in 1991 (same year I left school) he is now in his mid 30s.
God I feel old 👴, yet what a time to own the Sega master system and mega drive.
In Sonic laberinth, the story is that Dr. Robotnic steals the shoes that Sonic wears to keep friction on the ground to run fast, and replaces them with shoes that remove his superspeed. Each "zone" is where he needs to collect the chaos emeralds and regain his super speed. That is why Sonic is slower on his feet than is spin dash. Sonic states that even though he couldn't run fast on his feet, he could still use his spin dash to move around at a reasonable speed.
a fun fact about the Sonic Blast's Master System port is that It wasn't made by any internal studio from Sega but rather by a Brazilian company named Tec Toy that works in alliance with Sega distributing their consoles and games in Brazil and South America since the 80s, tho the port suffers from a bit of colour palette variety downgrade due to some master system limitations, It solves the resolution problem.
Using the same chord porgression/melody is not actually sampling.
Yeah, sampling is just like it sounds... taking a sample and using it in your song.
yeah, another thing is that he said he couldnt see what was coming in sonic 2 and such because of the "low resolution". Resolution is pixel density, like 480i, 1080p, 4k, etc. The actual issue was the screen real estate, because the game gear's screen is so tiny. This was also a problem in Sonic 1 on the GBA, but even worse! Dont mean to nitpick, but it bugged me that he said that several times
MrJimbo1qaz my bad, I didn't mean to say pixel density. That's ppi. But low resolution = less detailed sprites Not = less sprites on screen. Bigger sprites = less sprites on screen
Pety the autism is strong in this thread
@@Rountree1985 Lmao c'mon man
I feel like there was a game that wasn't covered....
I wonder why
As a kid, I played the hell out of Sonic Chaos and Triple Trouble. Lots of fun.
It's nice to see other people were introduced to Sonic on the same console that I was. No one ever talks about the game gear nowadays. Also Sky base zone music is my jam.
I like "Sky base Zone" theme too. But I always played it for Master System.
