College Slam - Genesis Game (Retro Fam)

nice

Great game I'm not only a Mario Bros. fan i also like playing Sonic games and this game is a awesome child hood game that i loved playing.

In 1991, the world was introduced to what would become the pinnacle of speedy gaming: Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive. It was Sega's attempt to make themselves the popular gaming company after Nintendo released super Mario Bros. 3 in 1990. And I am happy to say they made a great success.The story starts off when we're introduced to Sonic--an anthropomorphic, speedy, blue hedgehog with red shoes and the ability to curl up into a ball and run super fast. The storyline, however, is simple: Sonic must save all the woodland creatures from his arch-nemesis, Dr. Robotnik/Eggman.Almost all the levels in this game take total advantage of Sonic's ability to perform speedy platforming. However, such obstacles such as Robitnik's robots, spikes, and bottomless pits will try to stop you from reaching the end of the level. Thankfully for you and your speedy hedgehog, you'll find powerups such as speed boots--which let you run extremely fast--invincibility--which allows you to kill enemies at the touch, and extra lives. One of the last things you can pick up in this game are rings. If you get hurt while you are holding at least one ring, all your rings will fly out of your reach. However, if you get hurt WITHOUT holding any rings, Sonic will die.There are a total of six zones in this game. From the first to last, they are: Green Hill, Marble Zone, Spring Yard, Labyrinth, Starlight, and Scrap Brain. Each zone has three acts--two of which you will simply have to run through.

Old school fun

Wow, the game that introduced me to Sega! Great graphics, sound, and controls uphold a classic 2D game. Gave Nintendo a run for their money back then....kinda. Love the Genesis!!!!!
