Hehe... I remember the first time I saw that Snowboard sequence. For a young, easily pleased and nerdy kid in the mid 90's, that kind of thing was the definition of "Cool" ^^

I've not really played sonic games since the Mega Drive / Genesis days. I had all 7 "Sonic" MD titles and played them like it was some kind of religious duty to. I spent my time wanting Sega's (pretty pointless, monsterously expensive) Mega Drive add-ons, the Mega-CD and 32x, just so I could play Sonic CD and Chaotix. Well, eventually (like, 10 years later), Emulation happened. I even had the comics, novels and folders full of Sonic pictures that I spent all my time off of the damned games drawing. My biggest regret? That I never had a Plush Doll of Tails... My (Probably Best) Friend Sarah did, and I was mega-envious... Perhaps I was only her friend because she had it

My favorite game was Sonic 2... It has just the right balance of what makes a sonic game a sonic game, without lapsing into the repeatition or sometimes barrel-scraping design of some of the later games. They're all classics though, just some are more perfect than others
