I bought some Sonic stuff. (9.99 Mb of images.)

My scanner isn't hooked up at the moment, so it's all photos for now.

▲ Sonic 2 Promotional Video


▲ Sonic 3 "History of Sonic" Video


▲ Honestly, I don't know how I ended up with two.


▲ Sonic the Fighters Promotional Video




The next few don't really need a caption:






















▲ Sonic tie. With bobbins.



▲ Sonic and the Secret Rings Pop-up ad.


▲ And this thing.



I'll do additional scans and photos on request.

Those are the longest Chao arms I've ever seen.

[Delphine]

Are you out of your fucking mind?

[Delphine]

He really is out of his fucking mind!

[Brazillian Cara]

Man, the japanese boxes were a lot more colorful.

[Opa-Opa]

I remember seeing those Sonic 1 and 2 in a local videogame rental store. Never thought about buying them though. They all sure look very nice and those videos would be very interesting to watch.

[Majestic Joey]

That is the coolest tie I have ever seen, even if it is a little tacky.

[G.Silver]

What's on the Sonic 2 video? I've seen the Sonic 3 one around but if I've seen 2 I don't remember it.

[Oompa Star]

Did you send in that rebate coupon and get 1000 Yen back?

[P.P.A.]

Will you rip the Sonic the Fighters video?

[DarkPrime]

Japan had cooler box art.

[hedgepig]

Unfortunately the English is too good on those boxes to provide adequate amusement. There needs to be some sort of Japanglish saying something like "awsum harinezumi ball acton."

[Hulkshmash]

Japan had cooler box art.

Japan has cooler boxes.

[Isuka]

That's funny, the boxes themselves look pretty average to me, save for the S&K one.

Also, this needs to go with a mint, original Mega Drive model 1. And a JVC VHS player in the same state.

[P.P.A.]

The only boxart so far that was superior in the West (of the MD games at least) was Sonic 1's imo. Well, the European cover.
Also a Japanese Sonic CD CD has got to be the most beautiful disk ever made. <3

[Esrever]

Is the euro-Sonic 1 cover this one?



When I was a kid, I was always confused about why my copy of Sonic 1 had that artwork on the manual cover, even though the boxart was still the regular American version. But now that I think about it, they probably just chucked the euro manual into Canadian copies of the game because it had french in it.

Meanwhile, Google images just taught me something I didn't know until now... Kirby's not the only one who gets toughened up when he comes to America...

[Locit]

I can't believe I didn't jump on that offer for a Sparkster t-shirt. Oh, the folly of youth.
