Message: [QUOTE="Gorse, post: 17789, member: 73"] STI!? Eeeeyuck, haven't you people had your shots!? I knew I should never have gone to Las Veg- Ohhh, the [I]Sega Technical Institute...![/I] Aside from the Genesis [I]Sonics[/I] – of which I consider 2 the weakest effort, though it's still certainly an excellent game – I always thought [B]Kid Chameleon [/B]was really impressive. I don't know if you'd ever seen a map of how that game lays out its levels, but it is effing INSANE, especially for a 33-year-old side-scrolling platformer! No game to my knowledge has ever let you "warp" around the totality of the world like that, and it really nails the atmosphere of being trapped in a VRscape. Excellent gameplay and visuals, too – Kid C. is a really Genesis classic in every sense of the word, and I have a lot of affection for it. I also liked the adaptation of it in Sonic the Comic. Now, on the other hand, [B]The Ooze [/B]is the opposite of a classic: it's a big pile of fetid goo, aimlessly wandering through samey labyrinths of electric mazes and ceaseless tedium. This game used to clog up Sonic collections something fierce, and, while it has an interesting Katamari Damacy-like "expansion" system, it's really slow and miserable. It almost seems like the kind of generic, featureless game you'd see a character in a TV show playing. Maybe the central concept could be cleaned up into something fun, but the game as-is was rather poo. I ain't never played Comix Zone – I'm not a beat 'em 'up guy – but I really like the concept and it's definitely on my list. The Genesis Sonic Spinball, while not a bad game, is really very dull and probably has no appeal to anyone who didn't grow up with it. (And I did!) I spent hours upon hours of[IMG align="right" width="392px" size="640x400"]https://tcrf.net/images/d/d5/Sxc_isometric0.jpg[/IMG] my adolescence poring over Sonic X-Treme dev material – this was years ago when it wasn't all that easy to find – and, while I can't imagine the game would have been fantastic from the pre-release footage they showed, I like some of the development concepts a lot, like this isometric landscape. That's something a team of dedicated hackers should consider adapting for SAGE. [/QUOTE]
