Ever since I was like, 5 years old, my favorite game have been Sonic the Hedgehog. My favorite character is Tails. I have an Emulator in my PC of the Sonic collections. (I think it's illegal.) LOL, but so what?! I broke my Sega Game Gear long time ago, so I just play it in my PC.
I was so good at it back in my childhood days. I could finish the whole game (imagine the levels and acts!) in an hour! Non-stop! Game Gear don't have "save" so I had to finish it or start all over again. I don't like the idea of pausing the game, just let it running and have a break. I have to finish it or start all over again. That was my attitude back then. I can't do that now. I'm too lazy. So what I do is simply SAVE (I'm using emulator, remember? And get back to it later.) When I was playing Sonic back in childhood, I can get the 7 emerads in seven consecutive acts! Believe it or not! (Excluding act 3 of course, act 3 is always the boss for that level and there's no chaos emerald there.) I forgot how many levels are there, but I can get the seven chaos emeralds in acts 1 and 2 of level 1, same as level 2, level 3 and first act of level 4. That's a total of seven chaos emeralds in 4 consecutive levels! I feel bad if I don't do it in consecutive way, so I restart again. LOL! Yeah, that was my attitude back then! Imagine, I was only 4-5 years old then! Now that I'm old, I can't do that anymore. If I could talk to my kid self, he would be laughing at me now. LOL! So that's the story of my Sonic days. What's yours?
but i prefer Sonic Riders or Shadow the Hedgehog
