Lol I managed to softlock Sonic 3. Turns out if you fly into the first Marble Garden boss battle as Super Sonic on one of those spinning tops, you just fly off the screen and disappear. #retrogaming #Sonic3 #SEGA

And straight back into it with the Nomad, for a direct comparison.

(I was not going to play Sonic the Hedgehog on a passive TFT.)

And done. Even caught Mr. X's downfall on-screen this time.

I should not have stayed up this late playing Sega - what a delightfully 1995 statement - but I have thoughts and will do some writing soon. #sega #retrogaming

This is probably worth a mention in the main thread - I'm powering my American origin #Sega Nomad using the exact same Australian power plug that my Mega Drive II came with. It doesn't matter what continent or hemisphere you're from, nine volts is nine volts (as long as it's centre positive!).

This thing pre-dates AS/NZS 3112 by a solid decade, and it would instantly fail a test-and-tag round - it's crazy we used to just leave 240 volts dangling out there. https://www.accesscomms.com.au/mains-plug-insulated-pins/
