I died to the flying battery boss because Tails kept hitting it a fraction of a second before me and I passed through its iframes into its spike hands.

It runs on an emulator. Presumably if you had the means to do so you could flash the rom to a cart and play it on an actual Mega Drive.

Chaotix is weird. Even the later acts in each zone aren't really challenging and most of the enemies just patrol left to right. The hardest part is that stage where you have to find a switch before going to the goal. It's almost reminds me of Toejam and Earl where the point isn't to be challenged, it's to spend some time wandering around a space with a really excellent soundtrack... except they forgot to put anything interesting in the zones. Soundtrack's still good though.

It's not very good. You control two characters that are tethered together by an elastic band and can produce some pretty huge speed and jumps by stretching it, but all the levels are big dull empty spaces Every character has some kind of climbing or flight move because the levels have a lot of vertical movement (Espio can run on CEILINGS) Also there are five zones with five acts each and their order is randomly selected, you will be sick of every zone by the time you're done The good things about Chaotix are 1) the music and 2) the special stages

It's possible to hit the TMZ1 boss as Knuckles without taking a hit, but the window is really small and the angle of your rebound means there's a good chance that you'll be caught by the spikes from the exploding orb.

Are you from Europe? If you played the PAL version of S3&K it'll have run at 5/6ths of the normal speed.

DoctorWhat posted:DRM and keylogger? WTF!? The game was kind of shoddily coded and accepted input even when it wasn't the active window. I don't think it was a full on keylogger as it didn't do anything with those inputs, but you can't blame people for being cautious, especially when the game itself tripped antivirus warnings.

Spiderdrake posted:Hmm, I wonder why I never noticed. But are there any parts you remember needing to switch mid-stream? There's a couple points in Studiopolis act 2 or Flying Battery that you need to reverse to hold momentum If you hold down in those sections to spin you should keep your momentum whatever happens.

Bacon Terrorist posted:Jesus loving Christ that Mega Octo boss is causing some aggro in my house at the moment. My fiancée is playing her save and whenever she gets stuck on a boss in games she asks me to do it so she can get back to the joy of platforming, this is the first time I have failed to deliver. I can see it is doable but there really is a clusterfuck of bullshit at play in that fight. You really have to take your time with it and focus on the arms first, getting a couple of hits in before they start shooting and then focusing on dodging. If you go straight for the boss itself they'll shred you.

Bodyholes posted:Tim Follin showing what the Genesis can really do: Follin's an absolute god with audio. I have no idea what he did to the NES to make the main theme from Solstice but it's loving incredible. He's also the writer and director of FMV adventure game Contradiction: Spot the Liar so I'm going to say his talents know no bounds.

robot roll call posted:I gave this a try, very cool. Automatically recognized my controller and has tons of little QOL options. I really like the option to have the ring count in special stages go down if you want to go for perfects. The individual music switches are cool, Sonic 3 all the way except S&K invincibility music. There's an option for Sonic 2 super theme as well.

I know it would never happen because every part of Sega except Europe dropped it immediately, but my eight year old self really wants to see a film version of the "official" canon they created to market the original game outside of Japan. Carrey could do a decent Kintobor and Robotnik I reckon.

Sea Lily posted:the movie feels like they're doing a kind of riff on this, except he's just always been kind of a dick, and it escalates to maniac over time. complete with, im pretty sure, his name going from Robotnik to Eggman, which is kinda fun actually Kind of, but I like the notion of Kintobor / Robotnik being the catalyst for Sonic's speed. I also like the quasi-environmentalist message of using the chaos emeralds to eradicate the evil and pollution of the world, although if you're setting a film in our world that becomes a lot more complex. Maybe I just want the real Sonic movie where he's a radical anarchist enviro-terrorist.

Nodosaur posted:The "make something successful" thing is just a way of politely saying "I hope they can make something good" without giving his actual thoughts on it, whatever they may be. It does have the side bonus of clearly distancing yourself from the project, which is useful should it turn out to be a huge flaming pile of shite.

Yeah, basically the game was constantly loading / unloading data in order to stay under the PS1's 2MB memory limit (they had 4 bytes to spare) https://www.quora.com/How-did-game-...id=z9ZA&share=1 They also managed to produce a timing bug in the hardware of the PS1 that could wipe your memory card if you pressed buttons on the controller when the game was saving. https://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/DaveBaggett/20131031/203788/My_Hardest_Bug_Ever.php

Skeletome posted:dont put the SATAM cast in, but do put in Amy's Sonic the Comic look The reason her hair ended up like that was because when Amy was introduced to the comic, they only had this concept art from Sonic CD to base the character on and they misinterpreted her head turning round as the way her hair should be.  A big part of Sonic the Comic was taking mistakes or non-canon stuff and forging it into pure gold.

I could believe that it was an unused Sonic 3 ending song given that the one in the game is an MJ track (that later got reworked into Stranger in Moscow).

You're probably thinking of it having an ARM processor as opposed to x86. Hardware wise it means it's closer to a big phone than a small PC, but doesn't really mean anything for the OS or software.
