'Sonic the Hedgehog Spinball' was released 32 years ago for the SEGA Genesis!

I remember when it came out, and for some reason I was obsessed with getting it even though I didn't have a Genesis.

I guess I just wanted any game with Sonic in it! (and a Genesis too)

Are YOU a fan of Sonic Spinball?

Such a fan of it. We did an episode on it, and I came so very close to finally beating it (I admit, I haven't really focused long term and put the number of hours to beat it fully)
But it was a game as a kid that I only got to play at other people's houses...which isn't great for single player

It was an absolute pleasure having you (and Dexter) on, so thanks for coming on and helping me hijack an episode into Captain N talk.

And would love to be on sometime when things align for it
