SONIIIICCC!!!!! The bain of my existence, for a very, very long time! Sonic game with my game gear, and for the longest period of time it was my only game. The problem of course was that I did not have the foresight to buy an A/C power adapter for my game gear so my batteries kept dying just as I was making progress.

I think I finished the game three years after the original purchase due to both the difficulty level of the game and the fact that the game gear sucked the juice from the batteries faster than an alcoholic drinks beer at happy hour!

The game was enjoyable, and because it was my first color handheld game, it hold a special place in my memory. Both as the game that aggravate me immensely, and the game that I eventually beat after having been immersed in its wonderful graphics goodness. If I still had sonic, I don't know if I could still have the patience to play it to completion.
