    As I've said before, I ashamedly admit that I've never sat down and actually played any sonic game for any decent length of time. LIKE COME ON I WANT A DAMN GENESIS.

        @scoot I feel deep remorse for the fact that you live in a PAL region. :(

            @scoot How's it feel playing games at 84% of their intended speed

              @redenchilada they reclock games for PAL so they usually run at the correct speed, but there are some major exceptions.

              @redenchilada I've never noticed any real difference.

                  @redenchilada it only happens like that when you play an NTSC game on a PAL system.

            @scoot totally. I mean even the controller looks better because colored buttons are pretty.

              @techdisk I dunno why they thought that Americans couldn't handle 4 colours and had to limit you to 2 colours on your controller.

                @scoot and even then its really only purple and lighter purple. Hell, I've looked inside my NTSC controller and the button holes actually have indicator text for the other region colours.

                  @techdisk That's interesting, I guess thats because they use the same case as the jp/eu one so they didn't bother changing that.

                      @techdisk Yeah that'll be the exact same outer case then. Doesn't make sense to make a whole new one with different colours printed inside

                        @scoot I guess so. I find it interesting that they also made X and Y concave instead of convex. *shrug* either way, The PAL/NTSC-J versions of the SNES/Super Famicom look much better than the American one.

      @techdisk specifically a genesis model 1, because it has better sound, I hear.
