This game is one of the greatest pieces of fiction. if it gets ported to PC with a better understanding of the controls, the ring tether, and the physics, then it would be the greatest thing to ever happen in sonic history. we got Sonic 1, Sonic CD, sonic 2, sonic 3 hell even sonic 4, why leave out the middle man??? Knuckles' Chaotix. I need sega to T up and finally give us an official confirmation that knuckles chaotix is canon. and that Classic espio, Charmy, and Vector arent just forgotten memories.

One of the best presentations for not just Sonic but any video game ever. A highly important game to the sonic franchise debuting so many classic characters. It's such a shame its never been widely re-released.
The music the gameplay the everything it’s beautiful I love knuckles chaotix with all my heart Marine madness is my favorite level and it’s so goooooooooood I love it
The art is amazing and i really love the vibes the music has, a really unique title to be honest!, and while the gameplay isn't your conventional sonic formula, it is still really fun to blast through, i really hope this succeeds so we can have a proper way to play this

The art, music, and cast of this game is dimply phenomenal. Though it may be rough, it has enough importance to not be stuck on a dead console like the 32X. And that’s why it deserves a PC port. Loved so much of it as a kid and wish so many more could love it now.

This game might be really different from other 2D Sonic games, but once you get used to the controls, it’s a very fun game. The chaotix themselves are also some of my favorite character designs in all of Sonic.

The game is not as bad as people make it out to be. It isn't a Sonic game, it's a Knuckles game, and once you understand that the mechanics are going to be different, once you start having FUN with the unique controls, you can actually do crazy fun moves with the ring tether mechanic. The special stages are hands-down the best the classic games have to offer, and the game breaks up its monotony pretty well with the randomized partner and level selectors. The visuals are absolutely gorgeous and the animations are fun and pretty, and contribute a strong amount to the "classic" Sonic identity- in fact, its influence is all over Sonic Mania, and especially its encore mode! Those who never got to play this game might not even know that the blue combine ring item originated from here. This game is more than deserving of a rerelease and the fair shot at life that the 32X's failure robbed from it. It may not be the best of the classic games, not by a long shot, but it's an important one that deserves to have its chance to shine.

Super Turrican
Super TurricanThe lost colony of Alterra is a completely man-made lifeworld abandoned long ago in a nearby galaxy. Alterra is actually five colonies in one. Each self-contained habitat has been separately bio-engineered by a powerful ecosystem generation network known as a Multiple Organism Unit Link. MORGUL, for short. Early colonists used MORGUL to render Alterra inhabitable. But a cataclysmic quake severed all system interface functions, and MORGUL murderously rebelled. The few colonists lucky enough to escape told a grim tale of a higher intelligence gone berserk. For generations, mankind sought a return to Alterra. Finally, genetic science created a saviour: Turrican, a mutant warrior, bio-engineered for the task of planetary reclamation. In the meantime, MORGUL has diligently twisted Alterran life forms to his brutal, destructive purposes. Thus, Turrican's challenges consist in eliminating hostile organisms from Alterra's five multi-level worlds and, finally, destroying the three faces of MORGUL.
