The 30th anniversary of Sonic 2day - the worldwide release of Sonic 2 on the Genesis/Mega Drive - is upon us this month, and we asked G to the Next Level, Franny, Alyxa, MVG, and JonnyG to choose their favourite and least favourite Sonic 2 music, whether it was their first Sonic game, singed furry animals and how Sonic’s eco-warrior vibe was dropped, multiple endings, and PS3 era game design.

• Sonic the Hedgehog 2
• Knuckles' Chaotix
• Sonic the Hedgehog 3
• Sonic the Hedgehog
• After Burner

Those damned mini consoles again! Squidge and Jay decided to talk about the games we think should have been on the Mega Drive Mini, and we ended up with two very different consoles.

• Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle
• Super Meat Boy
• Alisia Dragoon
• Cadash
• Alien 3

In which Squidgey rises from his grave and fights his way through hordes of the undead in, collecting floating balls of testosterone, in order to defeat the evil Neff (or was it Biff?).

• Altered Beast
