When I first saw this game it was at my childhood’s friend house, I
do not lie. I was mesmerised by the flashing bright colours and moving
object moving through the zone. I stayed at his house for hours. But
then I got my own mega drive and played the game and here is what I
thought of the game.
Reaction:
The level design were solid with strong vibrant colours and obstacles
in the way, making the level as hard. With elements of puzzles in the
game, it made it some what interesting. How ever as most games during
those days, what they could do were very restrictive in essence that
with the tech being not as advanced and with only a handful of space
available on the cartridge. They were pushing the tech to the limit. And
in respect the game itself, however this does not affect the
performance of the game. Well it depends on which part of the world you
were from. If you were from the USA, Japan or Europe & Australia,
then you got the NTSC version, if you were from England then you got the
PAL version. NTSC actually ran a lot faster than the PAL version. The
music and game play were almost of the game actually meant to emphisise
in NTSC version. On the PAL version, the whole thing was watered down by
25%. The game and music were slow. But then this was later found out to
be a conversion to fit all current UK tv’s standard at the time.
For the actual game play, I enjoyed it. True I did get stuck as to
what you supposed to do when you first meet Dr. Robotnik and his over
sized wrecking ball xDD. Marble labyrinth was always my worst level, I
wasn’t too fond of it and Spring yard zone end boss. I thought spring
yard boss was much harder than the actual end boss..which makes no sense
at all.
