@devilsei
It was more than that for sonic 3 though. Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles were originally supposed to be one game, but they decided to split it up into two.
When you plug in 3 you get more than the ability to play as knuckles in sonic 3, which is what happens in sonic 2. The title changes to "Sonic 3 and Knuckles" The campaigns blend together and you can start from the beginning in sonic 3 with any character (Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, or Sonic and Tails) and play till the end of sonic and knuckles, you have to get all the chaos emeralds twice to be hyper sonic/knuckes/tails.

Reply fail. That was supposed to go to the thread below, with the annoying asshole who thinks we don't know what Halo is, and also believes that A comment has to be an essay.

Good thing that your first game wasn't shitty then, you were lucky. :)
You know, for the longest time, I could never beat the boss in the 3rd world. I think I'll have to pick this up to get over my fears.
Same with Sonic 3, I always seem to get stuck in the 5th world. This was back before the internet of course.

How is that the boss you couldn't beat? He just stands there until you hit him. Or jumps over you.

Mine was Sonic CD.
The boss music used to give me nightmares. I had to have my sister beat them for me. :(

My first game was duck hunt. Very easy for little kids like I was. My parents were gamers back in the day so they had all the NES stuff.

Here here Markez, with the power pad of course. I cheated and used my hands. It was useless otherwise. I got the nes with the pad for Xmas in 1987. Atari2600 on a b&w tv before that. God I'm old. 32 is old.

The first game I PLAYED was Super Mario Bros, but The genesis was the first console I actually owned, and Sonic 3 & Knuckles were the first games I owned for it.

My first game was the SMB/Duck Hunt game. I am apparently too old to remember the SMB/Duck Hunt/Track and Field game. I feel cheated...

Luckily I still have the game for my genesis.
It's so much fun especially with 2 players. Would love to see that on XBLA ASAP.

Would definitely love an XBLA remake with online co-op. And, if I'm being greedy, remade graphics...
