That's not mediocre, that's dull.

The buttrock in SA1 and 2 isn't mediocre at all. It's flat out fucking awful.

I thought Senoue's SA1 tracks had far catchier melodies than pretty much most of his SA2 stuff, but to each their own, I guess.
I will concede that Metal Harbor is a pretty cool guy, though

Mika is campy. Scissor Sisters is camp. Crush 40 is babby's first rock band.

Do you have any idea how relaxing it feels to listen to that Mystic Ruins music?

In perspective it has all been downhill since Sonic R's soundtrack.

Sonic R had an awful soundtrack too IMO :| Sonic 3&K was the last Sonic game that had a consistently great soundtrack.

All of those licensed games are probably thrown into the ether now, like the Disney stuff or the Ren and Stimpy stuff.
Oh, did they release Sonic Triple Trouble on the eShop already? :O
Yep.
This isn't music. It's lies.
OMG. Hahahahaha!

Well, it seems that not everybody likes to go Super Sonic Racing.

Colette was soooooooooo annoying. Wasn't a big fan of Lloyd either, but he was alright I guess. Never played a lot of ToS since I never own the game.
EDIT: Also, I got Sonic Legacy Vol. 1 and Sonic Selects Book One today. (Along with 2 Mega Man archie comic books!)

I had been wondering about the name of this game for the longest. I always seem to confuse it with Quackshot for some reason, despite that being a Genesis game.

SA1 has one of the best soundtracks of all time, and SA2 doesn't. Both Hot Shelter pieces are awesome stand-bys, but let's not even forget to mention the Lost World music, the Station Square theme (so many manly tears), and a whole bunch more. E-102 Gamma's theme alone is worth the whole fucking soundtrack, because it made me like a robot more than the so-called "humanoid" anthropomorphs in-game. Holy shit.
And I thought SA1 played better, too. Outside of Big and Amy, it was good times (though I was okay with Amy and fine with Big). The visuals have just the right amount of obsolete technical quality and great visual design to be simply memorable.

I played both SA2 and Heroes recently...
None of them hold up, at all. Unresponsive controls and obnoxious level design all around. I got to Tails' first level in SA2 before just giving up. And I don't think Heroes' Sonic can walk in a straight line.

They're two different styles so it's hard to directly compare them. SA2 is more rock and rap, while SA1 is more true to the originals.

As I said before, both soundtracks are great, but I prefer SA2's soundtrack tbh.
It is partially because it has more rock stuff (which is fun to try to tab out or write chords for), and the rap stuff is catchier than I'd like to admit.

Agreed. A lot of the tracks are difficult to remember, which isn't the case with SA1 for me. I also think the stylistic diversity in SA1's soundtrack is enough to beat out SA2's rock focus.

I hated Pumpkin Hill when I first played the game. Now that I'm grown up I remember it very fondly. Shit is tight.

To be fair to SA2, I think Green Forest is a genuinely great track.

I still have my copy of the Genesis version. It's good and all, but the game it somewhat shamelessly apes, Aladdin, is much better.
I noticed the PC version rearranged the stages and added an exclusive one, though. Kind of wish I got that version, in all honesty - but then, I was just excited to randomly stumble upon a Genesis game in a GAME shop when I was living in England, when the rest of the shelf was Mega Drive. (No idea how that happened, but hell, I'm not complaining.)
Yup. Emulation's not bad, either. Sunset Park is more of a bitch than I remember it being, though, with those respawning cart enemies that I keep running into, losing a good 30 of my rings when I'm trying to collect 50 and reach the emerald box.
Y'know, aside from the Sonic GG games (specifically 1, 2, Chaos, Triple Trouble, Labyrinth and Tails Adventures), the only games I own for the system are Baku Baku Animal (which I now have a technically superior Saturn version of)... and Land of Illusion. That was a pretty great game. Actually, it was one of the first two games I owned for my GG (the other being Sonic 2, which was also my first Sonic game period - this went over about as well as you'd expect, and yet I still ended up falling in love with the franchise somehow)...
One of these days I should check out the other Disney GG/MS games, but I don't have an AC adapter, and I believe the battery door on my GG busted well over a decade ago... it'd be inconvenient. Not sure if I really want to invest in a Power Base Adapter and check out MS games, either (evidently, those don't even work on Genesis 2s, due to the physical design, and the only redesigned one was only released in Europe, which would probably introduce compatibility issues...).
Definitely. They really outdid themselves with the visual design of some of these levels (Rooftop Run comes to mind)...
That reminds me more of Doom than a Sonic game.
