Aha, found Sonic and the Chaos Emerald in less than a minute. Those were the first two things I managed to find right away.

I recall this book was on my Elementary's library. It brings back good memories...

Shmil: Apr 23rd 2008; 12:16AM

Sonic is in the upper left hand corner.

Shmil: Apr 23rd 2008; 12:23AM

Ok from actually looking, i found everything in less than 2 minutes. This is why i read Slylock Fox. It makes me feel like a big big man to solve these kids' puzzles.

Shmil: Apr 23rd 2008; 1:11AM

seriously, every sunday i read the slylock fox riddle

Jay: Apr 23rd 2008; 12:25AM

I'd like that in a 1280x800 please

JAmerican: Apr 23rd 2008; 12:41AM

Sonic in the top right looks like he gained weight. I guess he stopped lifting weight when SEGA Hardware died out.

Schmobu: Apr 23rd 2008; 12:42AM

This was on kotaku yesterday and even then I still own this book, and another one based on another sonic game. I think it was sonic 3, yah. if anyone wants me to upload the other book to somewhere, do ask

Ethan: Apr 23rd 2008; 12:43AM

The only Sega fans left. Thanks for reminding me of the website, I forgot about it.

Do I really WANT to find Sonic anymore? T_T

Jansperus: Apr 23rd 2008; 1:34AM

That's a lot more fun than Sonic games nowadays, amirite?

Jansperus: Apr 23rd 2008; 1:34AM

Henry: Apr 23rd 2008; 3:22AM

Ahhhh! I used to have that book!
Good times!

ThornedVenom (Harley Quinn Defense Force): Apr 23rd 2008; 5:33AM

I'd try to find Duke Nukem. ;P

Mandatory Chuck Norris joke: Chuck Norris is the reason why Waldo is hiding.

Batzarro(A.K.A Rap-Rock Cameo): Apr 23rd 2008; 8:21AM

Why can't I be bothered?

Jamie: Apr 23rd 2008; 12:20PM

Hey, I had this book.

Monkeydog: Apr 23rd 2008; 5:50PM

I totally had this book when I was little.

Man I was a Sonic fanboy back in the day, before Sega botched the series up.

Kuuma: Apr 23rd 2008; 10:37PM

I used to freakin have one of those!

That was back in the day when Uncle Chuck was still relative.

Batzarro(A.K.A Rap-Rock Cameo): Apr 24th 2008; 12:31AM

Robotnik does NOT need to hide. He's mighty like that.
