Good Futures run for JP Soundtrack.

Time Stones run for US soundtrack. US has the better Special Stage song.

Bad Ending run for US if you want to hear the bad future themes you miss on the Time Stones run.

CD SOUL

I'm based enough to spill the truth:
The obsessive speccyposter that's been spamming the board with fake quotes about Spectrum games "inventing" the metroidvania genre is nothing but a sad guy who grew up with bad games on his Spectrum/Amiga and resented forever people who grew up with better, Japanese games.
His way of coping is as follows:
He knows that he can't change the past, he can't make british developers make food games, so how does his coping mechanism work exactly? Well, it's simple. He figures: If I can't have good childhood memories, then at least I'll claim that my childhood games are historically relevant, and I will convince people that my childhood games are so important, they influenced the superiour japanese games.
In reality, british spectrum or amiga games did not influence anything, they barely could be called games, really, and nobody knows about them other than for meme or comedic purposes.
Being historically relevant is this guy's mission: he WANTS his childhood to be relevant. He HATES the fact that the only relevant historical systems and games are either American or Japanese. He can't stand that.
Let him cope, but don't let him forget his place.

Nah, the US version.

>the only good version of Sonic CD is still the 1993 Sega CD original
How did we let this happen?

What a marvelous, exotic masterpiece.

Yeah it would have been nice to have it on Sonic Jam, but at least we got the better quality intro and ending FMVs on it.
The fate of Sonic CD was that the only proper version is still the original 1993 release.

Misunderstood masterpiece.

Sonic CD was released for phones and 7th gen systems.
Does that mean we can't discuss this game here?
Janny, you're a retard. Spend some time knowing the board before you decide to be a janitor.
