Sonic CD.

I'd played the (old) PC port before but never (properly) completed it.

Sonic 4 is there though, and there is a free to play Sonic Advance as well but only for the Japanese at the moment. You can still find the apk though, I have it and it brings back good memories :smile:

Nice! I doubt my phone could run it though :ashamed2:

I have loads of Sonic games on my computer and Sonic Advance 1-3 on my phone, but I'm stuck on all of them :ashamed2:

Yeah, I was going to buy Sonic 4 (Episode 1) after I finish this one. :smile:

Sonic CD runs great on my HTC Desire running a Gingerbread ROM. :yep:

Have you overclocked?

I like Sonic Advance (1), it's one of the two games I have ever completed :redface:

On my phone I've only gotten through all the zones with Sonic, and I didn't get to any of the Special Zones, but I suppose I could do that later lol

Sonic Advance 2 feels a bit weird, I don't really know what I'm meant to be doing so I just run and collect the stars when I see them :p:

Both games run really nicely on my phone (with the sound off)

Just checked... I don't have SA3 :facepalm2:

Ignore me.

Nope. I've rooted and have some kind of SetCPU profile and maybe optimised kernel, but that's it.

Cool, I'll probably check it out at some point. :smile:

I was (and am) a big Sonic fan so on the MegaDrive I completed Sonic 1, 2, 3, Knuckles, 3 & Knuckles, Spinball and 3D. But the special stages of Sonic CD always got the better of me (and are still doing so!).

What phone and emulator do you use? And I guess with the sound it lags?

Oh okay, I'm using a Hero (overclocked to 729 MHz) and Gameboid 2.4.6, which I don't think is on Play anymore, but can still be found :ninja:

I was/am a big Sonic fan too but I never had a console and when I'd go to my friend's houses they wouldn't let me play :emo:

so as soon as I had money I got a GBA and borrowed Sonic Advance :p:

I think I'll have to try Sonic 3D and CD and Adventure on my laptop :excited:

I'll get my USB controller and my emulator and it will be great :borat:

Ok, my sister keeps nagging me for a new phone but doesn't want to spend much money (no more than a tenner a month) and so I'm finding it really difficult to recommend a phone that isn't going to be **** in a few months

Nevermind, she's going to sign a 24 month contract for an original San Francisco. I can't wait to see what it's like in about 6 months when it's slowed to a crawl and I'll be like I told you so

Yeah, the worst bit about new OSFs is that they're gen3, and I don't think there's even a way to flash back to gen2 if there was ever a need to put a better ROM on it. IIRC, at least it'll be 2.3.5 stock though. Unlikely to receive 4.0, still a chance though. It has had official 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3, who knows?

Ouch, I mean I'm still using mine but 24 months?

Anyway, if she's willing to risk it, there is the possibility of ICS custom roms if its gen2, Cyanogen Mod 9 might be on the San Francisco and I believe there might be a very stable custom beta already. But given how my one is a bit sluggish as it is on CM7 (Gingerbread), I'll probably be due an upgrade soon.
