In order to find these Rings, Robotnik built his base, the Newtrogic High Zone, on the island. Mighty the Armadillo, Espio the Chameleon, Vector the Crocodile, and Charmy Bee also arrived at the island, and ended up being captured by Robotnik and Metal Sonic, and placed in Robotnik's Combi Catcher machine.

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.

God of War II

These entities have the power to enable time travel, allowing Kratos to prevent his betrayal, and ultimately seek revenge on Zeus.

The Lost Vikings
The Lost VikingsThe Lost Vikings is a puzzle-platform video game developed by Silicon & Synapse (now Blizzard Entertainment) and published by Interplay. The game features infinite opportunities of retries in case the player loses one of the Vikings. In 2015, The Lost Vikings were added as a playable hero in Heroes of the Storm, allowing players to control the three Vikings as individual units, making a unique departure from the typical heroes available. Character abilities: All three Vikings (Erik, Baleog and Olaf) have three health points which they can lose by getting hurt by enemies or by falling from great heights, and the ability to carry and use items, mainly keys, bombs, and food (which restore health points). Each of the Vikings has a unique set of abilities: Erik can run faster than the other two, can jump, and can bash through some walls (and enemies) with his helmet. Baleog can kill enemies with his sword, or from a distance with his bow (and a "life-time supply of arrows"). The bow can also be used to hit switches from a distance. Olaf can block enemies and their projectiles with his shield, and use his shield as a hang glider. Olaf's shield can also be used as a stepping stone for Erik to enable him to reach higher ground, which would not be possible without the shield.

E.V.O. : Search for Eden
E.V.O. : Search for EdenThe storyline of E.V.O.: Search for Eden follows the same patterns as modern Evolution theories. The players first controls a prehistoric sea organism, and fights to gain evolution points with which he can improve his fish's body parts and upgrade his attack/defense abilities. The gameplay is not completely linear, which means that certain choices of paths and stages will affect the player's success. The game is composed of a series of stages, in which the sea organism slowly evolves into an amphibian, and later a land-only creature. The physical changes are fairly scientifically accurate which gives the game a semi-educational purpose as well.
