Sonic CD

Sonic CD has recently been re-released. Posting thread to ensure it doesn't slip under any radars :-)

Originally released in 1993 on the Sega CD. Game has been ported and re-developed from scratch and released on PSN/Xbox Live + iOS/Android. It has been rebuilt to include Sonic 2-style speeddash + widescreen resolution + unlockable option to play as Tails.

Been playing it on the PS3, and I'm actually blown away at the quality of this game. Absolutely solid original Sonic gameplay matching Sonic 2 (maybe) in overall goodness. It's a whole lot more enjoyable than that 'I want it to be good but it's actually really crappy' Sonic 4 episode 1 game.

Recommended to anyone/everyone with a secret little love for Sonic games.

the zone where ur bouncing up and down and theres electric on the wires grid which turns on and off is impossible theres like a barrier u cant ever get past it just a big wall how do u get around it

this is the 1 apparenly good sonic game i never played cuz what the heck was it on another console other than genesisÉÉ ps is this out on xbox

yeah xbox arcade.

@sup. i have no idea? sounds pesky. like the rolling red and white cylinders in the circus level of sonic 3.

lol those cylinders will make u so mad if u dunno how to control them

Amazin, gonna grab this. Presumably can download from the ps3 marketplace?

how do you?? for real, i couldn't get passed that part.

The last console gaming system I had before buying a PS3 was actually a Sega CD (CDX: Genesis/CD combined console) way back in the early-mid '90s. It took me until this year to trust the longevity/quality of a console again, lol. My mom's ex's deadbeat fucking DJ son stole my Sega CD around 2000; if he hadn't I'd probably still be dipping into this game.

Sonic CD was easily one of the best games on Sega CD. Looking forward to hearing the dulcet tones of Sonic Boom once more.

The iOS port is solid too, so far.

i like how when you kill a baddy in sonic cd it turns into a plant

Yeah, I used to record the music onto cassette tape so I could listen on my walkman. I had a Doom cassette too!

sonic cd has some pretty wicked tunes that i've never heard up until recently.

Woah awesome! I always wanted to play this since it came out, but I went from the Genesis to the Saturn to the Playstation 2 D:

This better be released on PC. I don't have any game systems.

i'm pretty sure you can play this game on a PC, just sayin

It's important to note

(a) Sonic CD had two soundtracks, one for North American release and a much weirder one straight outta Japan; and

(b) you can select from the two soundtracks with this rerelease
