Re: Computer game magazine scans.
I've always found the Mega Drive Sonic games to be rather boring. That magazine page above showing all the levels from Sonic 1 all look the same, there is very little variety. Alex Kidd in Miracle world is better than every Sonic game. A point I've argued is that if you replaced the Sonic sprite with the Alex Kidd sprite in the Sonic games but the games still played exactly the same no one would want to play the Sonic games.
I honestly think the Sonic games on the Master System are much more fun 2D platformers. I don't get what's fun about being blasted through a level at 200Mph with little to no control over your character. I love how the Master System Sonics play like proper platformers that encourage exploration. I have Sonic 1 and 2 for my MD and Sonic 1, 2 and Chaos for my Master System Converter and I rarely ever play the MD Sonics but the Master System versions are always great fun to go back to. Sega have so many great franchises they could go back to like Golden Axe or Alex Kidd. I'd love to see a modern version of Golden Axe come out for the PS3. A proper new game though and not a horrible remake like what they did with Space Harrier, I was quite disappointed when I bought Sega Classics and they changed Space Harrier, it looks horrible.

Re: Computer game magazine scans.
ive never played any sonic games but ill agree being blasted at 200 mph with very little control cant be fun.
And yes they do look all the same dont they on that magazine page just my thoughts too.
But yes the m.s. Sonics i far more like the sound of which encourage exploration.

As a huge fan of 2D platformers I could never understand how the Sonics on the MD were so popular. The blue rat always annoyed me with his forced cool and stupid conjoined eye. A fat plumber might not be cool but at least he's endearing and his games are fun. You've not missed much in the Mega Drive Sonics but the Master System games are great fun.

Never played Rayman but the other 2 were a bit boring. What's worse than Sonic? A Sonic knock-off. I remember Zool was advertised as the Amiga's answer to Sonic. LOL, it didn't even come close.
