Hill Top Zone was more slow paced and chill than the rest of Sonic 2, so the music fit. It's like they put it in just to give the player an intermission.Mista Koo said:I liked the music and loved the theme/settings. I still consider it one of the most original Sonic zones.
Can I get in on this?Phonomezer said:THANK YOU. Let's make love.
It's a great zone and a pallette swap done right.Mista Koo said:I liked the music and loved the theme/settings. I still consider it one of the most original Sonic zones.
I know. That and Hydrocity Zone, and you have arguably have two of the most iconic Sonic stages. For Sonic 3/and Knuckles you can only choose between those two stages.gutter_trash said:lack of Ice Cap is disheartening
they could have comboed Classic Sonic Ice Cap from S3 with SA's Ice Cap for Modern Sonic
Honestly, I don't. Sonic Team seems to have a completely unnatural obsession with Seaside Hill and all the other garbage to come out of Sonic Heroes, while poor old Sonic CD constantly gets booted to the sidelines.JonCha said:Thought I do believe that list is bogus.
I'll agree with the second portion, and the second half of the first statement.Professor Beef said:I don't mind the Hill Top music much, but the level itself is pretty boring.
Although Hill Top also has my favorite badnik: that purple fire-spitting brontosaurus.

My problem with Hill Top's music is not the composition, because that is some good composition. It's the instrumentation--I don't like it very much. BUT I do not have issues with this remix, for example: http://youtu.be/At3pOmrPOaw.
Now that remix is pretty chill.
People keep mentioning this, but is there actually a source for it besides Iizuka blathering on regarding Sonic 4?Azure Phoenix said:Lets face it, after that comment about Game Gear stages and the rumours about how difficult it was to get classic Sonic into this game, it's obvious they don't really feel like celebrating anything outside of the last 10 years of Sonic.
Alright, I'll agree to disagree re: Hill Top. And I will concede that the level plays better than a lot of modern Sonic levels!Gravijah said:Boo, original is still better.
Dark Schala said:Alright, I'll agree to disagree re: Hill Top. And I will concede that the level plays better than a lot of modern Sonic levels!
But I shall play Hill Top Zone on my Genesis to give it one more shot. Despite the fact that looks pretty blurry. I would play the Sonic's Genesis Collection version, but meh. I like the Genesis controls better for nostalgia's sake. My desk is now extremely cluttered with four systems, lol (Launch Wii, 80 GB BC PS3, SNES and Genesis). I should just break out the NES, PS1, Dreamcast, Pico and Slim PS2 while I'm at it, though they will not fit on my desk and I need the work space.
Sitting here, as I type this, with the Sound Test playing in the background... the only thing to complete the scene is a Sonic popsicle. Or a Rocket popsicle. Also, Casino Night + Aquatic Ruin + Chemical Plant = <3
Er, Debug mode was... 1, 9, 9, 2, 1, 1, 2, 4, right? I swore I had these burned into my memory, but I forgot all of them. I know that level select is 19, 65, 9, 17. I forgot the All Emeralds code, but it doesn't matter, really.

Does the title need to be updated, or has a PC version still not been confirmed?
Get one! It's a good system, and it complements the SNES library quite well, imo.Gravijah said:I don't own a Genesis. Dreamcast was my first Sega console. Should get around to picking one up when I have extra cash.
...Or I should check craigslist!
I've been recently rebuying old games I used to own as a kid (considering I lost nearly my entire game collection from the 8bit and 16bit era over the years) as well as games I've never owned (such as DKC, Kirby etc). I've been thinking of getting Contra for the Genesis. How much does that go for now?Dark Schala said:Get one! It's a good system, and it complements the SNES library quite well, imo.
Don't feel bad about getting one used. My NES and Genesis belonged to my older cousins, so they're pretty worn (I also got all of their remaining games they had). The NES and Genesis used to have stickers all over them (well, the NES still does, the Genesis doesn't). When I opened up my NES to replace the 72-pin connector last year (since the old one was corroded), you wouldn't believe how much muck and dirt was in there. Had to get a toothbrush, isopropyl alcohol and some other nice electronic cleaning stuff to clean it, along with fixing the connector. :/
I got my Dreamcast w/2 controllers + Sonic Adventure and Crazy Taxi for $30. Bought it at a yard sale in 2001. The kid I bought it from was saving up money to get a PS2 instead. I asked him if he was absolutely sure he didn't want any more cash for it, and he said no... so I guess he really didn't want it. I had to buy a VMU, though. And then I got a bunch of games from my cousins when they decided to begin primarily playing PC games. So it was all good. The Dreamcast was in need of a cleaning, though. So trusty toothbrush and isopropyl alcohol saved the day again.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to play through all of the Genesis Sonic games I have (Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic 3 + K, Sonic 3D Blast, Sonic Spinball) and Contra: Hard Corps this weekend since the Genesis is hooked up to the TV right now. I wanted to play Yoshi's Island, Shadowrun or Illusion of Gaia during the day this weekend, too... decisions, decisions...

eBay says around $20-40 used. Amazon says from $16.75 (used) to ~$25 (collectible) to $149.99 newqq more said:I've been recently rebuying old games I used to own as a kid (considering I lost nearly my entire game collection from the 8bit and 16bit era over the years) as well as games I've never owned (such as DKC, Kirby etc).

I wish I could! There's only 48 hours this weekend, and I used some of them up already because of working and sleeping. Tomorrow's Ocarina of Time and Father's Day and I need to bake a cake. I'm trying to speedrun Sonic 2 right now though, so it's going well.Gravijah said:DO IT ALL!
I've actually been playing a bit too much SMW lately. My 5 year old sister is absolutely obsessed with Mario games, so I have been slowly working her through them. That's actually how I wake her up in the mornings: By telling her it's time to play some Mario!

Far from old. We were wondering if it was confirmed a few hours ago.

At 1:05 Sonic hits a speed pad, slightly slows down and goes through the loop at a seemingly automatic speed. That's worse than Sonic 4.ShadiWulf said:Video of Ruby playing Green Hill Zone and showing off tons of alt. paths

Most recently Alice 2, shortly after Crysis 2 got pulled and everyone was wondering what was up with EA and Steam. It calmed some nerves and the game hit the storefront shortly thereafter.Gravijah said:What else has he dug up?

Yeah. Iizuka himself announced it at SONIC BOOM. No date has been announced though. They will probably be announcing that this week.Firestorm said:Has a public, downloadable, demo been announced?
Blueblur1 said:At 1:05 Sonic hits a speed pad, slightly slows down and goes through the loop at a seemingly automatic speed. That's worse than Sonic 4.
RobbieNick said:You're wrong. I went over the video and there's no boost pad. (In fact, classic Sonic has no boost pads as far as I can remember.) He's just going from medium to top speed. He slows down a bit in the loop because it's a large loop and he's losing a little momentum in it. That's proper physics.
Scullibundo said:Why are you always so wrong? How can you watch any of these videos and try to deny the existence of the automated parts?
Let me tell you that proper physics doesn't involve slowing down when rolling down an incline.

Watch from 1:13 and explain to me what causes the massive boost at 1:17.
Then go to 2:05 and explain to me why he uncurls
