LiteralGrillAlright today's #GrillGameFact comes in thread form! Today we're going to talk about the worst officially licensed Sonic game of all time. No, it's not Sonic 06 either. Time to show off the monstrocity that is Sonic Jam for the http://Game.Com #retrogrames
First, you're likely wondering what the heck website is Game.Com? It was actually a game system designed by the folks at Tiger and advertised...Well... Like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dp460zM_PGA

Now this game is NOT a remake of the Sega Saturn Sonic Jam. It says it has Sonic 2, Sonic 3, and Sonic & Knuckles but these aren't full games either, just levels loosely based on the games.
All of the levels in Sonic 2 take place in the Emerald Hill Zone. You'll be tasked with getting through three levels to beat Water Eggman, Tonkachi Eggman, and Drill Eggman to find yourself free from its horrors!

For Sonic 3 you 'rush' through Angel Island Zone but this time you only get to fight two bosses. Those being the Angel Island Sub-Boss and Main Boss respectively. Oh, and they reuse an enemy from the Sonic 2 game instead of making a new one!

Finally, Sonic & Knuckles (who can't climb walls by the by) we go back to three bosses as you traverse through Mushroom Hill Zone where you fight their Sub-Boss, Boss, and then the Flying Battery Zone Sub-Boss. Oh, and this game got three new enemies!

Now if you watch the videos, you'll see these games are horribly slow (so much so they sped them up for commercials) and the graphics are iffy.
However, awesome people in video game preservation HAVE made them playable! http://hiddenpalace.org/Official_game.com_emulator_and_debugger
The games aren't great obviously, but I still really suggest checking them out. They're weird relics of a long gone gaming era that are worth experiencing for #Sonic fans! #retrogames
💎 LIVE + LEARN 💎@LiteralGrill I only just saw one of the commercials for these for the first time the other day, and haha are you serious they had to speed it up for the commercials??? That's wild OMG
