I love older game systems; I enjoyed more of the games and now that they are decades out date you can emulate them on just about anything.

And so many good games! My favorite lesser known ps1 game is probably Devil’s Dice, but there are near so many good ones to choose from…

I played this recently. Never played the unmodded game for more than an hour or so so I don’t have first-hand experience of the normal version of the game but I think without the easing the requirements to the missions and making unlocking the ending easier it would have been a much more miserable experience.

My favorite quote from Sonic the Hedgehog is when Sonic said "I'm Sonic the Hedgehog"

My favorite quote from Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is when Robotnik said "I'll get you, Tails! And Sonic the Hedgehog, too!"

My favorite quote from Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is when Sonic said, "I'm Sonic the Hedgehog! Three of us are here to kick your butt!"

Update: WOW that's a bad game

It does a few things very well, but this game is defined by jank. It was bad in 2001 and it's unplayable in 2024. Every moment that felt good is subverted by the horrible controls. It's damning that this is the best of the 3D Sonics, too.

The Sonic/Shadow levels are good, the Tails/Eggman levels would be okay if it weren't for the BEEEEEEEEEEEEEPBEEEEEEEEPBEEEEEEEP, and the Knuckles/Rouge levels bring the whole thing down.

I have so much positive memory of this game that I threw away by playing it again. This one should have cooked a lot, lot longer.

I wish I had more good things to say about this. Chao Garden is the best part of the game though

this was much more fun than I expected it to be, not sure why I didn't think I'd enjoy it because this sort of thing is my youtube bread and butter, thanks for the devtesla seal of approval cos I don't think I'd have watched it without a trusted recommendation!

Update: I am just playing "Sonic Adventure 2 Battle" again.

This style of Sonic game translates really well, and I think it's because the levels are navigable at-speed. I think having small segments to explore, interspersed with "hold forward here" sections, is a really smart idea.

And that opening level really holds up as one of the best of all time. Sorry Doom E1M1, there's a reason you aren't an opening level so beloved that it's casually and consistently remade like Mario 1-1 or Green Hills.

The casual absurdity and destruction is fun. The game is so janky but so charming.
