(based on the bad ending of STH 2 8bit / for the SMS/SGG)

These aren’t just any gorgeous high def Sonic the Hedgehog screenshots, these were taken emulation-free from my own childhood Game Gear cartridge! 

Game 95: Sonic The Hedgehog (8Bit) Aug2024 I appreciate them making this on a console without horrible screen crunch, but honestly it's also kinda not worth it. While there are some interesting things for this game, like the more focused platforming design and chaos emerald hunting. I just don't see Sonic The Hedgehog (8 bit) really being worth anyone's time. The game still suffers greatly from frame rate issues, enemy design, level design, and boss design. It's not so much that the game doesn't pass as a playable game, but it's a clear downgrade design wise compared to the actual Sonic game on the Genesis.

Everything about this game just feels a little off that makes me just not want to deal with it. The bosses are absolutely a down point for this game with a lot of them just not using Robotnik in an uninteresting way, and giving the player a harder time by not giving you any rings or even a shield to face them. Some of these bosses really just take way too many hits that it really feels more like a trial on patience mixed with the dread of losing all your progression. This is also intermingled with a lot of the games bizarre design choices like their hit detection, enemies you can't i-frame through, and certain level gimmicks that don't quick cut it.

FINAL STREAM! ;_;

🅷  Stream No. 22190153 is LIVE! ◉ 2 PM EST 7/8/22

Well, maybe think of it as more of a Series Finale until several months (if I’m lucky) from now till I get new equipment.

Let’s finish this off right with “Sonic the Hedgehog” for both Game Gear and Master System, followed by an Amazon Prime powered Watch Party of the 2020 Sonic the Hedgehog film released by Paramount!

Other material just may make a surprise appearance...

As to why I’m ending my streaming indefinitely,

I for sure do NOT want to leave Twitch, but with the equipment and resources I have my ability to put on the streams I want to do, and my ability to put them together efficiently is EXTREMELY limited.

I wanted to end things on a high note and on my own terms so I can be ready to come back better than ever when the time is right.

A more detailed explanation can be read HERE.

Thank you all for 152 streams and counting of love and support the likes of which I couldn’t have dreamed of!

See you in stream!
