360 steal of the week

[Spike 74]

This weeks deal is yet another XBLA game, with a 40% discount on Sonic, down from an already low price of 400MSP to a mere 240MSP.

"Dr.Eggman (AKA Dr.Robotnik) begins his zealous search for the Chaos Emeralds to fuel his new "Death Egg" contraption. One afternoon, he launches his full-scale attack on the island. Dr.Eggman imprisons all of the helpless animals of the island and turns them into mindless worker drones. Fortunately, Sonic will thwart the Doctor's plans at all costs. This time, he isn't alone, as Tails decides to aid him in the battle. Together they must locate the Chaos Emeralds before Dr.Eggman does, and put an end to this diabolical scheme".

Haha, Diogo mentioned a great thing. Four classic Sega games being released during the same week, including Comix Zone. <3

Unfortunately, I had already bought a megadrive copy of Gunstar Heroes, at a retro-fair the week before they were released.

And I'll suport his claim, Sonic 2 at cheap price PLEASE!
Then maybe I'll finally be able to finish it. <_<

Doublepost, but it's two days later, and it seems my previous post was pretty stupid.
This week's Xbox live deal WAS Sonic 2.

After spending about two hours with it, I finally beat what was an obstacle to my youth, even though I couldn't beat it wihtout cheating.

I played it from start to finish without to much trouble, even getting the 7th chaos emerald in the flying fortress.
But when I reached the final boss, I lost all 26 of my lives in one go.

I quickly saved on my last life, the way these xbox games allowed me to easily beat Comix Zone...

But man, the final boss of Sonic 2 is insane... not to mention you have to fight metal sonic every time you lose. <_<

I have the Mega Drive compilation... Sonic bonanza :D

[charmed699]

That's my Jar and well done for not giving up!Heck, the combination of metal Sonic and those evil claws could drive most people insane. :D

I got that Mega Drive collection when it came out and HMV even added the ultra special vinyl for free!
