Being real, unless you’re emulating, you’re probably not playing this. It’s hard to write a review of a game you’ve only played through emulation, using a controller that is nothing like the roller ball the original arcade machine sported. But it doesn’t mean it can’t be appreciated in some fashion.

SegaSonic stars Sonic, Mighty the Armadillo and Ray the Flying Squirrel as they attempt to escape from Dr Robotnicks base. The animation quality is absolutely incredible, this game is just so much fun to watch in motion, and it brings these characters to life in a totally unique way.

All the game requires you to do is run and jump through the stages, and there’s only 6 levels but using an emulator you are just gonna die a lot because replicating the controls is basically impossible. So I can’t really comment on the difficulty or control because I’m not doing it properly.

But the stages all have unique obstacles, it’s full of non stop energy and nothing goes on too long. Playing this game may be difficult, but just watching it is sure to bring a smile to your face.

The soundtrack is also amazing, especially trap tower which has been remixed a few times since this game and rightly so it’s great.

One day I hope this gets released, because it doesn’t deserve to just be stuck on arcades forever.
