Episode Notes:
1. Captured using the Mega SG.
2. There were other Sonic games on the Genesis of course, but this one ended Sonic Team's tenure as the main developer.
3. Sonic & Knuckles has been reissued many, many times over the years. There are numerous modern alternatives with enhancements.
4. While this boasted compatibility with Sonic 2 and 3, it did not add any meaningful additions when used with Sonic 1. It can be hooked up to randomize Blue Sphere stages, but I can't say I thought much of that.
5. Sonic & Knuckles was released in Japan less than a month before the Saturn launched there. It remains extremely rare due to its low print run.
6. Because of the later release, it came in the dreaded paper boxes for the Genesis. It is one of the few games I own that is cart only.
7. I said Sonic was faster than Knuckles in the video. This was perhaps the wrong way to describe that. Sonic has a larger jump which I always felt made him feel quicker in the air. As someone pointed out in the comments, Sonic and Knuckles run at the same speed, otherwise.
