(My teenage years were clearly a rich and varied time…) City Escape – again and again and again.Ĭoupled with this euphoria was the abject horror that came with actually trying to lay my hands on a copy of Sonic Adventure 2. Has anyone else ever done that? My playthroughs of City Escape must number in the high dozens.
In fact, I probably played that level more times than is healthy. A large part of this is probably down to the fact that my teenage hormones were just kicking in, meaning that when I got to play the City Escape demo about two weeks prior to the title’s release, I didn’t just feel ‘excited,’ I felt euphoric. There are so many intense emotions attached to this classic Sonic the Hedgehog title. The one as it was presented on the short-lived Sega Dreamcast. It’s probably what fans the flames of nostalgia when we get to see ‘re-imagined’ versions of Crash Bandicoot or Spyro the Dragon on our screens I certainly feel a pang of Something when I see Tomb Raider 2 load up, or even when I hear the Megadrive renditions of songs from Disney’s Aladdin. For me, one of the most memorable games I have ever played is Sonic Adventure 2 – that is, the original version. This is probably the understatement of the century, but many of us develop emotional attachments to video games.
