Although I already had a Genesis at the time, I would agree that's a game worth buying the system for just given the ridiculous number of times I played through it
Best Sonic ever (without Sonic 3 locked on to it, to be honest)
That's exactly how I feel. I think I only played it with Sonic 3 attached maybe once or twice. Sonic 3 is like the boring first half of a movie and Sonic & Knuckles is the epic second half
Dang, I feel like my childhood may have been lacking since I have never played that game...
Sonic 3 is brilliant in my opinion but drops off during Carnival Zone. Marble Garden is magnificent in particular.
Frankly, they were supposed to be a single game though, and you can tell through the lock on. It's pretty much the best platformer ever made in my opinion when the two are combined.
I also have to agree, once you hit Lava Reef the game goes from pretty darn amazing to simply brilliant on every level. The Death Egg zone, especially parts 2 and 3, is probably my favorite.

I guess we just have very different opinions on Sonic 3. The only zone I liked in Sonic 3 was Ice Cap.
Yeah but they did refign the level design between the 2 games. I mean S&K had an extra 6-8 months (I don't remember exactly how many) of development time, which for the time was an amazing long time (not to mention the game engine was completed)
Sometimes I wonder why didn't more companies take advantage of the lock-on technolodgy (are there other examples of cartridge based expansion packs like this?)

I'm starting to agree with you. While I'm excited for the system the only three games I was definitely going to be playing at launch was Watch Dogs, Killzone, and Driveclub. Watch Dogs has been delayed and Driveclub may have been. Which leaves only Killzone. I want Assassin's Creed IV, but I have only played Assassin's Creed, so I don't want to start in on the 8th game in a series.
Oh, well. The system will still be awesome and I have tons of other stuff to play until the spring when we start to get the really good stuff coming in.
Admittedly in the case of Watch_Dogs, I can see why they would delay it. The primary competition for that game would have been Assassin's Creed, and I doubt Ubisoft is interested in competing with themselves.

How are you getting 8th? Seems to me that AC IV is the 6th.
Let strength be granted, so the world might be mended...so the world might be mended.

Seriously S&K is an epic game. Specially once you get to the Lava Reef Zone. The level quality blasts off and never looks back
