Thinking more about 1991, it’s crazy how big of an impact Sonic had for Sega and for the market in general.  Sonic 1 is a great game for sure, but when you compare its content to Super Mario World, it really feels like a much more limited experience.  Sonic 1’s success is a true testament to the role of marketing in a videogame’s success (we’re seeing the same thing these days with Call of Duty).

from the first time that I played sonic I absolutely didn’t like the game play. What made it even worse was the underwater levels… I thought it had some of the worst stage design I have ever seen but the concept was great.

that being said, I really enjoyed the 3d Sonic Adventure game I thought those were the pinnacle of the series

Did you ever play Sonic 2?  It’s a huge improvement over the original.

yes, I played all of the 2d Sonic games and I didn’t really enjoy any of them. I don’t really know what the deal was the underwater levels really made me not appreciate the game at all..

I just think that the game translated a lot better into 3d rather than 2d.

You’re definitely in the minority with that opinion!

 

Have you tried Sonic Generations?  

 

It has fantastic 2-D and 3-D levels (I may actually prefer the 3-D levels in Generations).  

 

One of my favourite games of the modern era.

Does anybody recall a website that dealt with side by comparisons of the same game for different consoles? I remember going there awhile ago but forgot the name of the site. I don’t think it gets updated a whole lot either?

I’m not aware of such a website, though it sounds awesome!
