Day 51 of 100 Happy Gaming Days: Sonic & Knuckles

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 was apparently such a big game it had to be split into two, the latter half was Sonic & Knuckles.

Owning S&K not only allowed you to play a brand new adventure as either Sonic or Knuckles, it also expanded the adventure in Sonic 3 and allowed you to play as Knuckles in Sonic 2. This was achieved by plugging either Sonic 2 or 3 into the top of the Sonic & Knuckles cartridge.

This is the only Mega Drive/Genesis game that I know of that doesn't come in the standard plastic box, it comes in a horrible cardboard box, meaning this is possibly the most difficult Mega Drive game to find in good condition.

Sonic & Knuckles was still brilliant; the additional content was certainly worth the additional cost and playing as Knuckles was a refreshing change to playing as Sonic. He was able to reach areas Sonic couldn't get to thanks to his ability to climb walls and glide through the air.

Special thanks to my sister for getting me Sonic and Knuckles for my birthday. ^_^
