Eggman and his fiendish creation, Metal Sonic. Past, present, and future collide as Sonic battles to rescue Amy Rose and recover the seven Time Stones! Travel through time to defeat Dr. This filled me with such an existential dread that I didn't turn my Sega CD back on for like a month.Time travel to save the world in SEGA's highly acclaimed Sonic platformer that introduced Amy Rose and Metal Sonic! In the japanese version of the game, this isn't nearly as scary, as the boss music is more lively and upbeat (and without the distorted children laughing), and, being able to read Japanese, you'd know that the message is to the effect of "Enjoy forever, Sega Enterprises!" But back on that day, I felt my blood run cold. It's the combination of the twisted US soundtrack's boss music and the bizarre human faces on the sonics in the back, plus the strange message in another language I couldn't read at the time. That's when I put those numbers in and saw the above message. My brother was asleep in the front room watching television while I was flicking through the guide in my bedroom on the other side of the house. But at the end of the Sonic CD section, with no screenshot or really any indication of what was to come, they printed "try these numbers out in the sound test for a neat hidden message!"īy happenstance, the day I bought that guide, my parents and sister were out of town, and it was a dark, overcast, and rainy day. The guide's Sonic CD portion was terrible, no maps, no real strategies, more like just a collection of screenshots. It wound up that they meant Sonic 3 game genie codes instead, but that was emblematic of how poorly written the guide was. I bought the strategy guide at a Blockbuster video because, in a printing error, the guide said "Sonic CD game genie codes" on the back and I wanted to see how a Sega CD game could have game genie codes (back in those days, strategy guides used to be sealed so you couldn't read them in the game shops). I found it printed in the Sonic CD/Sonic 3 official strategy guide when I was younger. ![]()
