Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Sega Master System or Game Gear.
The SMS had an extended life in places like Brazil which led to certain Genesis titles, like Sonic, receiving ports to the SMS.
- Dwedit 2y agoThe 8-bit sonic games were originally made with the Game Gear in mind. Because the Game Gear and Master System have nearly identical hardware (except for a different screen size and palette), Master System ports were made as well.
- foobarbaz321 2y agoAh yes, of course. I stand corrected!
- aidenn0 2y agoThere was even the "Master Gear" which let you play master-system games on the game gear. I played the first Phantasy Star game that way.
- Aissen 2y agoIt is true for Sonic 1, but Sonic 2 is infamously difficult on Game Gear, because the levels where designed with the Master System in mind, and it didn't port well to the smaller Game Gear resolution (160x144 vs 256x192): the assets are the same size, so the effect is almost like a truncated viewport.
