Ok after seeing that I want one just for the pure noverty. A shame this game in partciular didn't get a UK release (Tails and the Music maker did though).
i remember seeing this at a childhood friends house...i remember seeing the Berenstain bears game for it and thinking that it was more of a toddler toy than a video game system
so i played zelda a link to the past there instead
Those voices are amazing! The Sonic voice sounds a lot like Ryan Drummond, I know it isn't but it's interesting that in 1996 they had a direction for his vocal style. Love the Eggman voice. "I LOST!"
Notice that at the startup screen, the tiny Sonic, Amy, Tails and Eggman march has a clear separation of Eggman from the rest. He'll participate in their little march, but he's not going to like it and he'll be damned if he has to stand right next to a sworn enemy like Tails.
I've got a Pico that works perfectly, but I can't find a single good use for it. I wish there was a cool Pico hack or someway to play genesis games on Pico.
I picked one of these up in it's box with manual and whatnot at a Value Village a couple weeks ago. Came with Ecco Jr and Richard Scarry's Huckle and Lowly's Busiest Day Ever. Paid $6 for it.
It's a pretty interesting little device, even if the most fun thing I can do is just drive the Pickle Car around like an asshole, running into everybody else on the roads and going up on the sidewalks in Busiest Day Ever. Ecco Jr has some decent puzzles too, for little kids.
