Notes - At first I wasn’t sure whether to count this as one game or two on the list, but in the end I decided on one. There’s nothing quite as nostalgic as locking on these two Megadrive cartridges. Only 1 death in Sonic 3 but 6 in Sonic and Knuckles. Another old game for me. Sonic 3 is probably my least favourite original Sonic game. A lot of the levels are blander and less fun than on Sonic 1 or 2. Score was around 200,000. I don’t have a cartridge box for these two games.
