A friend and I would play the Sega Megadrive version.

There was one track - sand, around water, started going left - which we both loved. The normal race was IIRC 3 laps. But this track could be unlapped. So we would start and by mutual agreement go backwards to increase the number of race laps. Once we got where we wanted, 10 laps, we would line up at the start and do the 3,2,1....

OT: Same guy wanted to emigrate to Canada to be a truck driver. CA said No, don't need you. He trained as a nurse (3 years), Canada said yes. Last I heard he's trucking along.

That's because he didn't follow the standard Canadian truck driver immigration pathway - come to Canada on a visitor's visa, pay an immigration company for a LMIA assessment to get issued a work permit, and bribe a driving instructor to get a license.


I had the Game Gear version, it wasn’t great sadly. Most games for that console weren’t, for some reason. Or at least the ones I had. I had much more fun with the GameBoy despite being technically inferior.


Castle of Illusion was great though


The Sonic games were epic.


Hmm I disagree, at least Sonic 2 which is the one I had was far from great IMO. The Sonic sprite was too big and the “camera” followed him so when he jumped you couldn’t see where you’d land.

I also had the original Sonic for the MegaDrive/Genesis and that one was great.
