    I’ve really got to get around to finishing Sonic 3 lol. I think I got stuck and then sidetracked. Sonic 2 was always my favourite anyway ;)
    I have SUGC, which is jam packed full of every Sega classic I would ever want, so I don’t think I’d be using this even if I HAD Xbox Live or Playstation Network.
