Sonic 2 for game gear was so fucking difficult. Itβs easily the hardest sonic game Iβve ever played.
I never had a game gear. Did it differ from the Genesis version?
It did! The first boss was this crab guy in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen at the bottom of a slope. Heavy metal balls bounce down the slope from the top-left corner and you need to either jump over them or let it bounce over you, depending on how much bounce. Due to to low resolution of the screen, you have very little time to judge whether to jump or not. That fight kicked my lil butt a million times over until I just ripped the game out and put in Dynamite Headdy.
Lol, I love how loose game development was about platform consistency back then. That's amazing.
