Yep, made a topic about that in the Sega forum.

Though, it's undiscovered.

As long as it isn't that stupid Sonic Underground in the future thing.

That was rubbish.

At work I was reading in one of the industry mags (which is mostly crap btw) that the newly formed Sega of Europe have big plans for the Sonic franchise, hoping to make it as big as Pokemon in its heyday.

And, that includes a new cartoon series, so look out for that!

I got that a couple months ago but haven't actually had the time to get into it yet. I must give it a proper go sometime.

Ahh Ecco.

I remember years ago when I saved up for Ecco the Dolphin and got it on import, must have been one of the first games that i REALLY saved up for, by really i mean saving up "pocket money" e.g couple pounds a week, got it eventually from the Games Exchange (now deceased :( ) about a week or so after they had it on american Import, and i spent hours and hours playing that game right to the end, a true classic, ah those were the days.... *has flashbacks of days gone by*

That's unusual...but my Tazmania game works fine, and that be a Genesis cart on a UK MegaDrive.

Erm. Thas not exactly accurate. I had a Megadrive and three of the BIG NEW titles around about '92, '93 had "lock out" chips. Streets of Rage 2 and Mickey Mouse and Donal Duck Land of Illusion did not work.

I should know - it broke my heart. My mum got them for me from the states and being a wee lad, the postage took forever and I ripped the packaging open and setup my Megadrive and had everything just so on a friday night and...they didn't work.

But MegaDrive cartridges worked fine on a Genesis, as did Genesis cartridges on a MegaDrive.

I would be suprised if Genesis fans in the states didn't know this...

Yeah, I remember there were two series of Sonic Cartoons. The second lot (the darker series that had a more futuristic feel) was the better. Also, anyone remember Sonic the Comic...? I might actually still have some old copies of that...
