Sonic and Sega Retro Message Board: Frigidare - Viewing Profile - Sonic and Sega Retro Message Board

Hey guys. Nice to be back after a while.

Sorry but I didn't know where else to put this.

My megadrive was having problems with graphics so I opened it up for a look:


See that red thing? It's a plastic cover that says DO NOT REMOVE.


Guess what I did.

So, yeah. Protected by that cover is a how-ever many pinned card:


Have a close look at it, then at the bottom of one of your game cartridges.

It seems to be the same type of card. A quick try with the top of a 'Sonic & Knuckles' cartridge confirms this.

So, what's it for?

How do you get the unlockable games in Sonic Mega Collection Plus? I've searched the internet time and time again only to find differing opinions, so I want something final.

Have any of you guys done it? Any help would be appreciated.

Sonic 1 Competiton - Who knows their classics?

A little game I thought up to see who's best at Sonic 1 on S2B.

Make a .GMV of your own game of Sonic 1. Once the file is created, either post it on this topic or get it to me through MSN ([email protected]) I'll score it and post High Scores here. If enough people show interest, I'll make a small website with all of the movie files on it.

Get a movie recording Gens here if you don't have one.

I'm using the non-marked version of Sonic the Hedgehog on SonicStuff to watch and score the movies, so try and use that one to record them.

I look forward to watching you all play.

I've found a glitch, and I've lost track of the glitch topics. In this one, as guessed by the title, Tails failed to turn up for the Marble Garden Zone boss.

You can get it from my Angelfire files link page.

Reading some articles on Sonic Spinball Beta, I noticed a part saying the only major difference is the invincible final boss. NOt only are the inter-level bonus stages not in the game, but there are also these differences.

Lots of pictures on this page I made so expect a long wait if you have a slow connection.
