Introduction

In honor of Sonic's Birthday and the announcement of his bizzare new game, I'd like to share a weird classic remake that never made it to market: The Sega CD 32X version of Sonic 2 called Sonic the Hedgehog 2: Special Edition. This was one of only six games created specially for the horrible system that required the unholy combination of a Genesis, 32x, and a Sega CD adapter. At first, it seems pretty similar to regular Sonic 2, but there are several design changes that were made to take advantage of the new horsepower. Also be aware that the game is in an unfinished state. I'll be playing one zone at a time. There's not really too much need to go into nooks and crannies as Trin has Sonic 2 pretty much covered in his thread. Also pardon the mumbly delivery I'm southern and I'm sick right now with a summer cold. It'll get better later on. Here's the first part, an intro and the Emerald Hill Zone:
