Thursday Jul 28, 2022
Chris gives Ashley a bad time this week by trying to sneak a Sonic game under the radar. Blue Sphere is an early example of an Easter egg - a set of over 134 million versons of the special stage from Sonic 3, which can only be accessed by popping a Sonic 1 cartridge into the lock-on technology offered by Sonic and Knuckles. Is this 'game' as fun as that sounds? Listen in to find out!
