@virtualjaaames Having Tails be E-102 / Eggman was something I wish they'd left out.
SA2 was the last game I really played to death before school and work and such took over my life, so I look back on it with (a) some fondness, (b) but mostly disappointment because it was so scattered.
@virtualjaaames Did you prefer SA2's system without adventure stages? I missed them there, but I concede their addition would have made SA2 more of a mess.
@virtualjaaames Tried to explain NiGHTS to somebody recently: "There was Tamogotchi-like aspect that took up the whole memory card, and the only relevance it had on the game was the music, and you had to get a disc from a Japanese magazine to really understand it..."
@virtualjaaames Weird is right, and ambitious - take out the fishing mode and the airplane chases, and you still have the whole Chao universe going on.
I wonder if Amy's game holds up? I recall it kind of working at the time.
