Recommended Posts

Hey folks, I thought it'd be cool to show some more Sega Genesis/Mega Drive gaming love here. 

An interesting blend of Pinball and Sonic, this week's Genesis Challenge is none other than Sonic Spinball! 

This game is also still unbeaten in the ongoing "Beat Every Genesis Game" thread.  Do you have what it takes?

You can play for top score, try for achievements (shown below), or both.

  • The title was changed to Sega Genesis Challenge #1 - Sonic Spinball

Weekend bump if anyone wants to fire up the Sega.  I've updated some of the achievements and might add a few more.   

I played for a bit last night and got to level 2.  I actually owned this game as a kid and don't think I ever made it past the first stage, haha. I can clear it pretty quickly now though.

I'm wondering if anyone else has experience with the game.  It has some challenge, but being only 4 levels I think it's doable. The level designs are pretty creative/clever and I'd say the game still has a lot of style and charm, perhaps worthy of a modern remake.  Cheers

I like this game a lot, had it since I was a kid, but don't think I've ever made it past level 2!

I remember watching my uncle play this and he beat it, not sure whether he used a cheat for extra lives or whether he was just that good, but it was an impressive performance either way!

I'm not sure if I'll have any time to play, but perhaps if there are future Mega Drive challenges I'll give em a go!
