LOLZ not a fan of the side scrollers...
Man, I can't wrap my brain around that. Not to sound condescending or offensive or anything, it's just that it's funny to me that we live in a time when a sonic fan doesnt even have to like the originals to still have a wide variety of games to choose from.
GG version...games such as this are divine on the go. Albeit for three hours at a time for six AA batteries.thank God for car adaptors.
Genesis, yo.
Soooo...5 votes for the Genesis ver, 3 votes for the Game Gear ver, this isn't looking good for the handheld fans...
I think we should add a timer rule, so if no game has recieved up to 6 votes by the end of a certain number of days, a winner should be automatically announced based on whichever game recieved the most number of votes!
Agreed. I'll give each round 48 hours from when it's initially posted, and if we don't have a clear winner by then, then the game with most votes will win.
what if its a tie?
Mmmkay, I'm calling it. Mega Drive wins!
SAFE GAMES: Sonic, Sonic 2, Sonic CD, Sonic Chaos, Mean Bean
Nextish:
Sonic the Hedgehog 3
Sonic Drift
I'm inclined to call this round already, but in the interest of fairness...
Sonic 3 obviously gets my vote.
My vote goes to Drift for 2 reasons.
1 - It owns Sonic 3 stand alone.
2 - I'm a rebel, baby. 
Well, Sonic Drift does have...uh...4 playable characters...more than Sonic 3...and uh...
You can play as Eggman...i guess...and...
*pirates run onto the board and sing and dance*
I forgot what I was talking about.
SONIC 3 GETS MY VOTE, IMO, it is Vastly superior to Sonic Drift in every way, sorry Gyserhog!
Sonic 3.
...what's a most peculiar set of games to even put up against each other in a round. o.o;
Sonic 3...
You should've put Sonic Drift versus Drift 2. This way it's just too unfair. 😛
I vote Drift, a fun little racer. Sonic 3 was half a game, so if you'd include Knuckles then it would get my vote, but S3 alone, no.
Sonic 3...of course ^_^
Sonic Drift was a bit too...odd for my taste =P (Sonic R beats it hands down!)
Sonic Drift would have been knocked out sooner or later...by pretty much any other Sonic game (well, maybe not Labyrinth...)
So it's just as well it get's knocked out by a contender like Sonic 3!
I can't even bother to put a thought into this one: Sonic 3. Just because of two things:
1) Everything
2) Ice Cap Zone
I do kind of wish the Sonic kart racers were as revered as Mario's.
Yes it's only half of the game it was intended to be, but I didn't know that at the time, back when it first came out.
Therefore Sonic 3 gets the Vote.. I'd even voted for this one if it had been put up against Sonic CD
Sonic 3, yo.
Sonic 3. I still play it.
Aaaaand, Sonic 3 wins!
SAFE GAMES: Sonic, Sonic 2, Sonic CD, Sonic Chaos, Mean Bean, Sonic 3
Next up:
Sonic Spinball (Game Gear)
Sonic & Knuckles
Go, S&K!
No beter way to knock out Sonic Spinball than to use S&K.
S&K FTW, yo.
sonic and knuckles!
Sonic Spinball should curl up into a corner and DIE, DIE DIE!!!
Sonic and Knuckles btw. Long live SUPER EMERALDS!
S&K saw me through quite a few lonely teenage nights.
Sonic and Knuckles for me.
Sonic & Knuckles cured cancer -- my vote!
That was unsurprisingly quick. =p
SAFE GAMES: Sonic, Sonic 2, Sonic CD, Sonic Chaos, Mean Bean, Sonic 3, S&K
Next:
Sonic Triple Trouble
Sonic Drift 2
Drift 2 for me, just because I always found STT pretty difficult. =p
Er...yup, Sonic & Knuckles for the previous one...nevermind!
Umm...
Sonic Triple Trouble gets my vote, it's probably the most fun Game Gear sonic, Robotnik Winter was a poor man's Ice Cap zone, but I still love it.
Sunset Park Act 3's music OWNS ALL OF YOU!
Sonic Drift 2.
While Triple Trouble had Nack, so did Drift 2, and more characters, thus wins.
Jeez. This one is hard. I love the hell out of both games.
Well, since I seem to rather desire to race in Sonic Drift 2 more than I wanted to play good ol' Triple Trouble, Drift 2 wins for me.
Triple Trouble. =)
Though Drift 2 was cool in its own good. If only it was easier to understand what the hedge was going on with your car and the track.
Triple Trouble. =D
triple trouble 'cuz i love nack.
Triple Trouble, because it's Sonic Chaos 2. 
I'm gonna go with Drift 2.
gotta go with TT
when Triple Trouble came out Knuckles was the coolest thing in the world to me, and the thought of him on my Game Gear was too much to handle.
Hm. Never played Triple Trouble. However, I did get like, 5 minutes of Drift and it was great.
My vote is for Drift 2.
Triple Trouble wins!
SAFE GAMES: Sonic, Sonic 2, Sonic CD, Sonic Chaos, Mean Bean, Sonic 3, S&K, Triple Trouble
Next up, battle of the spinoffs:
Knuckles' Chaotix
Tails' Skypatrol
Chaotix gets my vote because it is one of my most favourite Sonic games ever.
Chaotix for me. Never played both of them but the Gameplay of Knuckle's Chaotix has always appealed to me.
Chaotix, because, well, it's Chaotix.
Gotta give the hand to the Chaotix.
I played Chaotix but didn't like it much, it was kinda confusing. But Tails Skypatrol is lower in my list because, although it looked prettier graphically, I never understood how I was supposed to steer Tails and kept on dieing stupidly with those spinning walls in the first level. ._.
So, yeah, Chaotix.
I'm gonna throw Tails a bone and vote TAILS SKY PATROL!
Seriously, I love Chaotix...but having like, only 5 Levels, each with 5 Acts of EXACTLY THE SAME THING can bore the hell out of the casual gamer.
Add that to a RIDICULOUSLY EASY FINAL BOSS that you can avoid by standing still in the right place...
Still, I was good for what it was!
Tails Sky Patrol gets my vote because it's simple clean fun that doesn't try too hard! (even though the villains suck big time)
Gonna have to say Chaotix since I'm not fond of Sky Patrol, and I love Knuckles.
Chaotix for me. I've beaten it.
Also, Skypatrol, well, I just lacked the foresight into what the hell was going on.
Chaotix wins!
SAFE GAMES: Sonic, Sonic 2, Sonic CD, Sonic Chaos, Mean Bean, Sonic 3, S&K, Triple Trouble, Chaotix
Next:
Tails' Adventures
Sonic Labyrinth
TA ftw.
I vote for... tails' adventure!
Tails Adventures.
Tails' Adventures FTW, yo!
Tails
Tails' Adventure.
Tails wins!
SAFE GAMES: Sonic, Sonic 2, Sonic CD, Sonic Chaos, Mean Bean, Sonic 3, S&K, Triple Trouble, Chaotix, Tails Adventures
Next:
Sonic the Fighters
Sonic 3D Blast: Flickie's Island (Mega Drive/Genesis)
3D for me!
My vote goes to Fighters. Sonic 3D was fun for a bit, but then I realised it just didn't feel like a Sonic game, where as Fighters (Even though it's based off the Fighting Vipers engine, which is awsomeness by the way) had a more Sonnicy feeling, even with the numerous plot holes and other bad Engrish I encountered.
Plus, we finally get to see Amy cut loose and beat the living crap out of Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and anyone else who gets in her way.
