Some Sonic games are not bad.
Just a lot fall under the short side of fun.

Sonic 3D Blast
Sonic Labyrinth
Sonic Drift 1&2
Sonic Spinball
Sonic the Hedgehog 2006
Sonic Fighters

and that's just the tip of the fail icing most people would glance over.

It makes him look more like a father figure?

[GradyWilson]

Time is UP....ah well...



(BURP)


Wrong, Andy, I'm sorry... They added the 'stache so that you would be able to tell his FACE from his BODY with the rudimentary graphics of the time...

Nintendo was showing off arcade graphics in their new machines and facial hair was easier than facial expressions

Maybe the mushrooms contains Rogaine

I see. The reason I guessed that is because I know there is a lot of study into how certain visual symbols will influence a kid's feelings towards a character. Like in The Real Ghostbusters, the censors insisted that Janine be toned down considerably; they even wanted her pointy glasses made circular so as to appear less threatening.

hate 3D blast, need to dl Labyrinth, looking for Drift on the site, Spinball is a stupid concept, the casino stage in Sonic 2 already fills that trope! to each their own on '06, and why do they need a Mortal Kombat for everything? just put the characters in Smash Bros' for crying out loud!

sigh.

?

Ello, you good?

I'd have offered 'partial credit', but, sadly, you missed the deadline, sorry...


Shword - hehehe...well, the whole 'magic mushrooms-that-have-various-effects' thing smacks of LSD...heh...just ask the developers that were there at the time.

Is the trivia THAT boring, Error?


Andy - Indeed. Same notion behind the fast food logos/colors, and things like toy colours...yep..

[GunSlinger Boy]

the only reason i want to try the others you mentioned is so i can see for myself, but i already hate most of the concepts behind them.

[Iamerror]

Yeah. Just debating what I should do.What are you up to?
