I had a Sega Saturn and later a Sega Dreamcast, but I didn't know the advertised like that. Totally bad ass. I was disappointed after they stopped making systems but they've redeemed themselves in my books.

I think I've played every sonic game except for Sonic Spin ball

Sonic 3d Blast was awesome. I found my first cheat with that game. If I hit my system hard enough it took me to the level select screen where I could go to any level I wanted.

Sonic adventure 1 for the Dreamcast was probably my favorite. Great storyline and lots of game play with different perspectives and the Chao were cool.

The new sonic game for the Xbox360 is just one loading screen after another. Sonic Adventure 2 was the last good sonic game =(

I had the Sega CD, Game Gear, and Dreamcast. I really miss the days that Sega didn't suck, or at least, Sonic team didn't...
They neglected the American version of the best game they ever made (PSO) four times, and are neglecting its 'sequel' too. The new sonic games are a mess, and the only ones to do well are made by a different company(Dimps). And don't forget that Smilebit is gone, so there goes Jet Set Radio...

I was obsessed with that game way back when. I still remember a bunch of random stuff from it, but I should go try it out again sometime soon...

Anyway, sega always has weird adverts. This is the Japanese ad for Chu Chu Rocket (amazing game).

Seconded. It was so much better than game boy. It was in freakin' color! If anybody thinks game boy was better, they clearly have sexually unsatisfying private parts.
