I’m not saying the games aren’t fast. I’m saying there’s less to deal going on in the overall environment. Sonic is, in addition to being fast, pretty and full of man different moving things even at speed. Regardless–Sonic on a unicycle would be sweet.

There’s a decent Road Runner video here. I’ll agree that the Uniracers one isn’t that great, and the details get kind of munged due to Youtube’s compression of the video, but I promise, the later levels (with a skilled player) get pretty fast

There was lots of propaganda during the 90s, like the ‘Genesis does what Nintendon’t‘ commercials, but I was specifically referring to the commercials making the ‘Blast Processing‘ claim.

Instead of putting Sonic side-by-side with Uniracers, could you imagine a crossover? Sonic on a unicycle. That could be pretty awesome. I need to call Sega real quick…

First, I never knew there was a war. I merely wanted a genesis over a nintendo because ninetendo just kept making the same games only prettier. That being said I’d like to point something out. I’d never heard that nintendo couldn’t handle the speed of sonic…I merely liked sonic more than mario. You don’t provide video of the road runner game, but as an example of nintendo “handling” the speed of sonic, your unicycle game is a weak comparison. (not taking sides here but…) With Sonic the speed also involves a great deal going on in the background where as the unicycle game is very basic with nothing going on apart from a unicycle moving quickly through a grey background and a very primitive foreground. I’m not picking sides, but you’ll need a better example…I mean come on…if you put Sonic side by side with the unicycle game it just looks dumb and pointless.
