Best Sonic Memories

Lots. To name a few, being absolutely terrified of drowning in Chemical Plant Zone when I was little (hilarious in retrospect), plunking down the cash for Sonic Riders as the first game I ever bought at release (With bonus Sonic X DVD. Heck, yeah.), getting a DS specifically for Sonic Rush, a Wii for Secret Rings, and a Saturn for Sonic Jam.

That last one regretfully reminds me of my worst memory, and nightmare: Sonic Jam. An alternative, grossly disfigured, disgustingly mutilated version of the aforementioned Saturn original. In other words, IT SUCKS. Don't bother with it. EVER. For the sake of your very soul.

Good times.

For me the most recent one was when I played Sonic Colors after years of being let down by bad to medicore games I played Colors and just remember having a feeling of joy not felt since I was a kid. The fact that you hit start and got right into gameplay instead of some 20 minute cinematic, or some boring forced tutorial and when the first cutscene did come along and seeing this more lighthearted AoStH tone instead of trying for bad anime melodrama and not having to wade through any sort of tedium like running across a hub world, fishing as a cat, having to hunt down emerald shards.

Probably why I prefer Colors over Generations because Colors just made me feel so elated and that feeling continued on until Generations release.

LOL I guess I'm lucky since I never played Sonic Jam :DPiscesAnimeGirl

*headdesk* I screwed up: Sonic Jam for the Tiger game.com handheld. Not the Saturn game, which is an okay compilation with iffy emulation, and pretty unremarkable if not for the mini 3D world Sonic can run around in.

The game.com version is simply unplayable. I'm not even sure if it qualifies as a "game".

Too many to count, but um... definitely the early years. First discovering Super Sonic was almost magical to me. Like, something none of my friends were able to get or see for themselves.

 And another shocking momemt was when my friend turned on Sonic 2 and I looked up at the screen as I saw KNUCKLES pop out of that hoop. I thought I was tripping hard since Knuckles hadn't come out until recently and I had Sonic 2 for what seemed like ages. (A couple years in reality)  He showed me that I could stick other cartridges on top of Sonic & Knuckles and I was overjoyed. Sadly, Primal Rage and AfterBurnerdidn't let Knuckles invade the game, but I got different serts of blue sphere stages with both carts after furiously mashing buttons.
