Sonic 2 Beta Update!
dirkdes
"What's the highest bid?", let me say this -
Update! Anyone willing to pay about $150 American
dollars or $200 Australian will have a EXTREMELY good
chance of getting the Sonic 2 Beta.
Though, it may seem extremely expensive, it is rare.
If someone finds another beta copy (very doubtful), the
price will be reduced significantly.
You don't need to be able to convert the game into a
rom image.
E-mail me - user...@start.com.au for further details
and _genuine_ offers.
Thank you for your time.

PS - I accidentally posted this article to the Sega Saturn
Newsgroup so don't scream if you find it there.

Are you fuckin crazy?! No one is stupid enough to pay $200 for two extra
levels! Hell, for that price just go buy a 64 or a PSX and a game!

Michael Ford
site owner's friend had a Beta of Sonic 2, and they were trying to convert
it to ROM format. They were also holding a competition (I forget exactly
what you had to do) where the winner wins a copy of the Beta. Would this
happen to be your site I am referring to, or is there someone else out here
in australia whose friend owns a Sonic 2 Beta also?
The obvious reason why I'm bringing this up, is simply because anyone who
has the ROM is able to make infinite copies of the ROM easily (unless of
course they run outta space :P). This would definately lower the value of
this game.

O_o well that knocks me out...

Wow, if you're really looking for that kind of money for it, you might be
better off going to the Auction-thingie after all... I bet you had a good

I wonder if there is such a thing as a video game museum. That would
be cool! I would be a little nervous about sending $10 to some guy I
don't know, because I have virtually no way of knowing what he/she
will do with it, and what I will get out of it.

There IS a videogame museam in St. Louis Misouri, and I've been there.
It has all the old videogames(DK, Pac Man, excetera) and the history behind
them. They are playable, too. ;) There's around 300 of them, I'm sure. I'm
really not sure if it's there anymore because I went there when I just turned 6

The best games (to me) are the RPG types, like FF or Breath of Fire. Of
course, Square Soft is the best, and Nobuo Uematsu makes the best songs
(compare to Sonic ones and =give me your opinions).
The worst are like Ogre Battle

No, it's better to buy a Sega Saturn and a bunch of *first-hand* games

IMO the only good thing about Sonic 3D was the Special
Stages. Too bad I couldn't find a cheat to play *only*
the special stages.

Exactly why it wouldn't work, 'cuz I feel the same way ^_- It's iffy
business, getting several people's money together like that... But it would
be a nice idea ^_^;

To my thinking, PSX is really, but really, better then the Saturn.

Argh, that'd be the last day on earth.
AND YES Bahamut, before you go
and insult Jose, ALESSANDRO has
been here since the beginning. So,
if you insult him, you'll really look
stupid. And Dirkdees does. The first
thing you EVER do in a NG is find
out who is who. Alessandro does
a lot of stuff for StH, his webpage is
awesome, and he's a great author.
He's -very- respectable, and he also
knows about collecting stuff. If you
can't learn by common sense, at least
respect what Alessandro has to say.
Geez.

You could play only the special stages if you use the level select. On
the Sega MegaDrive/Genesis version you have to press
B,A,right,A,C,up,D,A. Then just select the special stage you want to
play. The Saturn version is different, and I'm not sure about the
codes, but you could always check out http://sages.ign.com.

3D yes, 2D no. But we all know that it's gameplay that counts

See what I mean? Most of the messages

It's -really- annoying. And stop with the

I don't suppose you remember that one incident a while back, shortly

Anyhow, I know from personal experience that some people can have a hard
time deciding whether a name like Miyasha sounds masculine or feminine.
Even now, I can't picture the name being specifically masculine or
feminine. But that's just me, and it may have a lot to do with the area
in which I was raised. You must realize that I've lived a good part of
my life strictly isolated within three small towns.
