>>2760261>why would you contempt yourself with the old 1996 PC version's intro FMV, when you can watch it in HD nowdays?In 1996, the PC version had (and still has) better-looking cutscenes than the Sega CD version. This is a fact that remains true independently of what YouTube has to offer. That's why it's an invalid argument. Also, the newer 2012 re-release removed the vocals from the original opening. (I forget if the vocals were missing from the US or the JP/EU opening or both, but still...) Not cool.
>HD remake You mean the the 2012 re-release on PS3, 360, and PC? I wouldn't call that "HD" or a "remake" by any definition of either of those words. And yes. I do recall THAT version adding more loading screens... or was that the Sonic Gems collection? But that's all different than what came out for PC in 1996.
>it removed mechanics for no reason What? Now it sounds like you're making stuff up.
>If the remake retained at least the time reset mechanicAgain, not sure what you're talking about here. In Sonic CD, you go into the past and destroy the machine (roboticizer, or what ever you want to call it) in acts 1 and 2 in order to make a good future in act 3. This mechanic has been present in every version I've played. Namely, Sega CD, 1996 Windows PC, Japanese Gamecube Sonic Gems, Xbox 360 and PS3.
So...
Huh?
>As for multiple versions on Windows, I don't know.I wasn't sure either. I just found out that the 2012 re-release DID land on PC as well, but I'm not certain if there were multiple versions in the 90s.
I vividly recall spending long hours in front of the PC version. That was my primary source of memories. Just a few years ago, a friend bought a Sega CD and Sonic CD. The nostalgia goggles fell off both our faces as we played that sucker and wondered how this could be......... worse?
Granted, I was playing the PC version on a Pentium 133mhz with 16mb of ram and a 4x CD-rom drive. Considerably beefier than the Sega CD.
