RetroGamer is a site that lets you play certain old games online after simply downloading a mywebsearch toolbar and a well-updated Java.
The playable games include Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic 3, Sonic 3D and Sonic Spinball, all of them with really nice framerate and quality. By the way, would it be legit to submit stats for those games obtained in RetroGamer?

Competition Central / Sonic Generations handicap

« on: January 27, 2012, 01:31:14 pm »

This is for those of U who are a bit sick of replaying Sonic Generations over and over and need some kind of "break" or "something different". You should know that speedrunning this game centers on and requires mastery of both Sonics' signature abilities: the Spin Dash and the Boost. Well, I've been able to complete ALL 18 main acts without using them even once. The only place in all of them that requires an X/square press is the clock opening in RR1. I've also tried to speed run them that way: I got, for example, 2:57 in CC2 and 4:55 in PW2.

So, the handicaped challenge I'm proposing is: Complete any main act as fast as possible without using the Spindash/Boost at all and without equippable skills!

Yeah, the sentences that always appear at the top of the main page. Sorry if you all find this topic stupid, but after all that time coming to this site, I TOTALLY have to bring up this subject: What are those lines and what were their origins? I find them rather funny! My favourite one is "Zizou really is lol".

Information Kiosk / Sonic Colours Wii: Super Sonic in ring charts

« on: January 06, 2011, 03:52:23 pm »

OK, I've started competing in Sonic Colours for the Wii and I came up with a suggestion: Why doesn't Super Sonic have ring charts? In any other games (except maybe Sonic 2 as Sonic) that would be pretty stupid, as the transformation constantly consumes rings, so a Super character ring attack would be just a matter of not transforming. But in Sonic Colours, Super Sonic isn't just a transformation: it's playing a whole different level. The lack of colour powers makes many paths inaccessible, many rings uncollectable and many rings much harder to collect. You'd sometimes NEED to transform in order to access some rings (for example, to break wisp blocks in TR6). In resume, ring attacking a level with Super Sonic offers a whole different task, sometimes duller but very challenging in some cases! The only levels in wich this wouldn't make a difference are those without colour powers available: SC3, AP5, AC4 and TV1.

So, here I'm asking for opinions about having Super Sonic in ring charts for this game (except those four levels).

Wikkity! / Map of Little Planet (About Sonic CD locations)

« on: August 20, 2010, 06:09:08 am »

Many of you should have already seen the picture attached below:

That's suppossed to be the Little Planet, where the events of Sonic CD take place. So, all the locations in Sonic CD must be somewhere in the map! Some areas are heavily implied, like the huge Eggman statue being Stardust Speedway or the island with crystals being Quartz Quadrant. But there aren't any official words telling us where are exactly all the locations of the areas in Sonic CD, so I'm unable to recognize some of them and there seems to be some locations completely out of place, like the strange green building. Any ideas about the locations of Sonic CD areas in this map?
