Sonic & Knuckles is sitll the hardest boxart/logo to ever grace gaming. So badass. I remember frothing at the mouth over the magazine coverage of S&K at the time. Seeing Sonic on monkey bars was a vivid highlight for me for some reason!
I know a lot of people slag off the classic TR games and their controls but now replaying the collection I honestly think a lot of modern games could learn from them. The core gameplay eg. the controls and the way the levels are built and designed to be played and traversed is so engaging and satisfying.
Oh, where did I fail?
Why did you leave me always to sail
This sea of heartbreak
Lost love, loneliness
Memories of your caress,
So divine, how I wish
You were mine again, my dear
I am on the sea of tears
Sea of heartbreak
