Is it still worth playing?
Aspect's 1993 platformer for the Master System and Game Gear. You play Sonic or his sidekick Tails, a separate playable character, to retrieve the Chaos Emeralds from Doctor Robotnik, who has stolen them. There are six worlds, called zones, each of three acts, the third a boss fight against one of Robotnik's henchbots or Robotnik himself in the last zone. Levels are designed to let you move as quickly as possible, and you run through them collecting rings and defeating robotic minions, with rings protecting you from being hit. Tails can fly and hover over traps and obstacles, and Sonic has a Super Peel-Out move and Rocket Shoes that let him fly for a short time. Levels built for speed, with two characters who move differently, still give each run its own pace.
