Sonic Mega Collection Plus plays great, even more so as a commercial emulator. Kudos for Sega.

Great soundtrack on that one too!

I can still hear this level in my head, but the one I can remember the best is chemical plant

[–] Auster@lemm.ee 3 points 3 weeks ago

Finished it! Found it to be much better than the first game indeed. ^_^

IYKYK

Edit: OG Sega version, dunno if those cheats apply on other platforms.

They still work on most of the emulated versions I've tried (including the version that OP is playing here), but I haven't tried on Sonic Origins

Edit: just checked and Sonic Origins doesn't have the sound test for Sonic 2 so there's no way to input these codes

I have that one on the PS2. I don't know that there is a better Sonic collection.

[–] Auster@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago

I'm playing the PC version of SMCP, and the only difference I can notice, maybe due to the better hardware, is that the game seems to be a bit faster on PC than on PS2. And have yet to test any of the other collections Sega made for/with the Sonic games.

Fuck yeah, love classic sonic so much. Sonic 2 especially

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I love random screenshots! I wish I could enjoy Sonic for the gameplay as much as the vibes - I just suck at it too much

[–] Auster@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Dunno how much you played of the franchise, but if you got stuck early on (e.g. the dreaded Marble Zone in the punishing first game), maybe you could abuse save states? The franchise got several emulated releases, and I imagine it's not uncommon for them to allow such a function natively. And at least to me, Sonic 2 plays much better and I remember kid me finding Sonic 3 even sharper.

Iirc there are also cheat codes. I definitely remember reading about them in a magazine back then and having the best time flying around this zone as super sonic.

I remember planting so, so many rings in a single place with debug mode enabled in Sonic 2 just so I could play through each stage as Super Sonic without effort- aside from the super slippery controls.
