(cw: pretty straightforward references to bdsm relationships, nothing explicit)
this game is extremely me. it's very gay, it's very kinky, and it has one of the best explorations of the psychology of dom/sub relationships that i've ever seen in any medium. it hits me in a very tender spot considering how important dom/sub stuff is to me.
and one of my partners showed this to me when we were in the very early stages of figuring out our dom/sub relationship, and i have subsequently shared it with both of my other partners to talk about things i really like about the pyschology of submission.
i really love being in subspace. i really love how vulnerable it makes me. and i really like that this game treats that it like the Big Deal it is.
and uhhhh, beauty is just a hecking super hot domme and i would love for her to tie me up. there, i said it.

woo, filling another major hole in my experience with nintendo first party games. this seems pretty ahead of its time! and i don't just mean because of the gay romantic tension between fox & his tsundere boyfriend falco. i can only imagine how this 3dish space combat must've blown kids' minds in the snes era.

for lthe longest time if you asked me to name my favorite video game of all time it was a dead heat between this & ocarina of time. and it's not really that they were ever surpassed. (well... i think wind waker surpassed ocarina of time, actually, but that's another conversation.) it's just that our understanding of what a video game can be changed drastically.
but like... in terms of what we understood video games to be in the 90s, this is still (and always will be) the absolute pinacle to me.

not quite the unmitigated masterpiece that literally all the main series games from sonic 1 to 3 & knuckles are, but honestly a really nice change of pace! i used to play this a bunch on my genesis back in the day, so it definitely mashed the nostalgia button quite a bit. it's creative, and fun, and i really like the way it integrates the aesthetics of the sonic universe into a much different playstyle!

although i had an nes & have vague memories of playing mario & duck hunt for the first time, my parents bringing home a genesis & sonic the hedgehog is my first extremely clear video game memory. it was love at first sight for me. more than anything else, the sonic the hedgehog series is responsible for me being the gamer i am today.
and i didn't just stop at the games. i devoured the cartoons (tails gets tied up SO MUCH in adventures of sonic the hedgehog y'all, highkey formative for me tbh), the comic books, everything i could get my hands on.
i don't know how many times i beat this game, but i know plenty of those times were of the up/down/left/right /a+start variety, heh.
though this was surprassed pretty convincingly by its sequels, it still reminds me of when i fell in love with video games for the first time, and it still plays great. i love that dumb little blue speedster so much.
