Completing levels in Sonic Generations earns players points in the game’s Skill Shop. One of the items up for sale in said shop is a Sega Genesis controller. Purchase it, and you’ll gain access to the original Sonic the Hedgehog adventure that started this whole mess in the first place. Even better (for you dirty cheaters), you can also purchase infinite lives in the original game, giving those that never finished the first one a sporting chance at doing so.
And if you’ve never completed the original Sonic the Hedgehog, please don’t tell us that. We’d rather remember you as you are now, before you ruined everything.

Sonic 2 on the other hand. . .

Sure as hell can’t do that now.

Friday, October 28, 2011 at 5:51 PMSome people get worse. Others get better. When I was younger I couldn’t pul off a hadouken, let alone a shoryuken, and I couldn’t get past the second level of Contra (or to be absolutely correct, Probotector :b).
Today I can do full combo-video-level crap with Dante in Marvel, I beat Monster Hunter Freedom Unite solo and God Hand on hard, and can beat Hard Corps: Uprising without getting hit.
It’s pretty strange how most people indeed seem to get worse though. I don’t think I play too much either, I probably only fit in an average of 10 hours of gaming a week.
