So I've been playing Sonic 3 Complete just recently. Pretty cool hack, having loads of fun with it. It's brought up something that I've often wondered, however...

Why Sonic 2? Why, whenever Sonic is brought up in the mainstream, is Sonic 2 considered to be the epitome of the series when Sonic 3 and Knuckles is clearly a superior game in terms of level variety, bosses, character variation, scope, size and graphics?

Sonic 3 and Knuckles has always been the pinnacle of the series to me, as it's simply an enormous game with a huge amount of depth and I can't help but smile inanely while I play it again and again. The music is fantastic too - but everyone always goes on about Sonic 2 being the high point of the series.

So clue me in if you can. Why Sonic 2?

Anyone remember this? Anyone have it? Anyone have scans? :D

So I've decided that over the next few weeks I'm going to have a look at developing games in ActionScript 3.0 and Adobe Flash. I'm a pretty competant C++ and C# programmer but I've hardly touched on Flash, and the last time I did it was AS2.0. I'm looking for books and other resources that would be useful in learning; I've already got a hold of Game Development With ActionScript and ActionScript 3.0 Game Programming University but I'm having a hard time finding other books that are highly praised for this subject.

Any of you guys have any ideas? :P

OK, So I've been listening to the (totally epic) Sonic CD Jap soundtrack, and wondering what the lyrics are for Metallic Madness present's rap bit. Specifically, what the fuck is the first thing he says? I've always thought he said "Dick Head" but I'm positive that must be wrong, and yet I can't for the life of me figure out what else it could possibly be...

Also, in the background of the Jap Boss music I was positive it said "work that son of a bitch", and could hear a distinct "ch" sound at the end, however I've learned that it samples the song "Work that sucker to death" by xavier and now that I've heard that it sounds the part.

Anyone got any idea? :P
