I can't listen to that right now, but when you mentioned bass I suddenly got Oil ocean into my head and now whenever I try to remember the Sandopolis theme that is all that comes to me. Now there is a tune you could use to back up the mega drive. (You people and your Genesis)

Oh crap, I saw "Sandopolis" and thought the music popped into my head, but now that you mentioned Oil Ocean I just realized that the music that popped into my head was actually from that.
Whoops!
Sonic 2 and 3(& Knuckles) don't really have any bad tracks in my opinion, so obviously this is also good by default. If you asked me how good though, I would say... funky. I don't know, for some reason it reminds me of a more ethereal version of funk haha. The longer notes in the back certainly give that alien or ghost like feel, and the main bass and melody drive the idea of overcoming some large task. Not sure how I would rate this against other 16-bit tracks, but it isn't lower down that's for sure.
Even though it goes on too long, Act 2 actually has a really cool concept. Accidentally unleashing a ton of ghosts inside an ancient pyramid, and getting chased all over the place as the lights dim? Awesome. The way the game stalls you by throwing in little puzzles and keeping the pace slower raises the tension a lot when you're a kid and not very good at the game. Today it's so much easier so it just gets tedious instead, but I still appreciate what it was doing.

Just beat World 1 of Lost Word 3DS. Dunno how I feel about it so far but playing a Sonic game by taking my time/going slow is...gonna take a while to get used to. ...but man do I wish the Acts weren't so long.
The spindash in the 2d stage is weird, I don't like how you don't get much boost a quick tap and that multi tapping it doesn't charge it up for a faster spindash like in the old games.
Act 3's gravity swapping was ridiculous, cost me a life and thunder shield.

So consistent with my take from an hour of it last night, then. :V
I wonder if the 25 lives from Amazon is permanent (like, it resets to 25 when I Game Over, always) or one time (have 25 lives on top of your current; once they're gone, they're gone)?
GOD I know the exact platform you're talking about. It's camouflaged. Died so many times there.
I ended up beating it last night, but man was that a pain.
Cheat codes. Classic. I've been using that to get back to Escape from the Cave after getting a couple of game overs, but I don't want to actually SKIP levels
Fuck Sonic, if you want to see BLAST PROCESSING, play Rug Ride in Aladdin for Genesis. Jesus Christ.
The parkour really grew on me and I wish there was more levels that had a focus on it other than that one Secret in Silent Forest Zone 3 and Sky Road Zone 1.
We need a name for the Lost World final boss since they never gave it a name. My vote goes to
.
Oh, and Zones 1, 3, and 4 of the hidden world should have been the thematic basis for a full world, and Zone 2 should have been in
but they probably couldn't for plot reasons.

Ah I remember going for both those stage secrets before I knew about Sonic being able infinitely to jump sideways across walls in the game, yeah those attempts worked out about as well as you might expect. I was expecting Parkour to be really more of a thing than it actually was, most of the time it's an unusually slow way of getting extra height off a wall or grabbing ledges as opposed to the rather fast flowing shortcut creator I had envisioned in my minds eye, well I still have hopes that the idea can be refined in the future (and then dropped when they finally get it working fully).
Final boss can be called

Kokonoe you need to sit in the corner and think about what you've done with that filter.This Sonic 2 Amy mod Coldman showed me is pretty cool. She plays almost like she does in Sonic Advance 1. Best mod ever.

That filter... ugh...
The hard as hell game where you play as a skeleton with two swords on element-themed levels? I never hear people talk about that game.
Yes. No one on GAF talks about it but it deserves some praise. I plan on creating a thread about it in a few months.

The only filter I approve of for Genesis pixel art is one of those filters designed to emulate NTSC composite blur, like blargg's. A lot of pixel art was designed with it in mind, so sometimes turning it on to make it all pop out is fun to do. (Says the guy who has an RGB cable for his Genesis...)

I did not tell her about that filter, just so y'all know
there's far worse filters
i had this olddd snapshot showing off the only possible filter of my game and it's EYE BLEEDING TERRIBLE, so i removed it right away

it even hurts my eyes badly in motion

That's... just a bilinear filter.
And yet it hurts my eyes so badly in motion.
It's horrible, I mean all filters are bad, but holy shit this one is baddddddddddddd
pure pixels > *
EDIT: I guess scanlines can be acceptable, I've never experimented with it much myself though.
EDIT2: I just tried the filter again and my eyes are bothering me. this is your fault shadowhog!
I don't really have anything to say, I was just using it because I felt like it.
oh
least you arent using an eye bleeding filter like i was just doing
my poor eyes
someone heal my eyes pls
also someone punch shadowhog
hes meanie
It's awful but it doesn't bug me as much (since it's on a smaller screen), but after a while it starts to bother me more than it originally did. blurry Mario 64 DS
DSiXL is the definite way to play DS games
Jesus fuck lmao
Dat filter
I was just thinking about that. Did he anticipate that Sonic would accidentally release them? Is this part of a propaganda campaign against Sonic?

Ya know, I think one of the best things about Skyward Sword is this spin jump Link does coming out of the water. I feel like a goddamn elf ninja every time I do it, and he just rolls out of it like a g.
