NZgamer: Some of the readers on this site will be too young to remember Sonic's glory days. Imagine that. Only being familiar with 3D Sonic games and not playing the occasionally brilliant handheld games.
The character of Knuckles the Echidna was introduced in Sonic 3, but understood with the Sonic & Knuckles lock-on game that signifies his importance.
Sonic and Knuckles…. first game I saw priced at $240NZD. More than double the price of games now.
Sonic & Knuckles, released for the Sega Genesis, remains a classic that may require some assembly. Take a look back.
If you’re playing this without being locked in with Sonic 3 then you’re doing it wrong.
Video games are awesome. At their very best they can become modern marvels from an artistic standpoint, combining compelling visuals, evocative music and deep narratives into a cohesive package. They are also exceptional from a technical standpoint, being a culmination of thousands of man-hours, compiling abstract code into an cohesive experience that is designed purely to entertain you. Here at Power Up Gaming, we're passionate about our chosen hobby. That's why we felt it was about time to assemble a list of our 100 greatest games as a representation of our favourite experiences in the medium. To do this, we polled all of our staff members, collated the results into a list, and asked our writers to write up the games they were most passionate about. We'll be breaking our list down into four articles of 25 games, so check back every day this week as more of our list will be revealed. Without further ado, here's our picks for 100-75.
So many great games and memories! I've always loved getting to play as Knuckles in the Sonic games (except for the parts where instead of punching things you have to painstakingly hunt out hidden emeralds. Boo.)
