Sonic Spinball - Sega Genesis - Gaming Memories And Review

Sonic spins off from his ground breaking platforming series to tackle the video pinball genera. Released in time for the holiday season of 1993 when Sega realized they wouldn't have the 3rd installment of the main series ready in time. Going back to the first game and certainly achieving quite a lot of love in the 2nd, pinball elements were always a fan favorite in the Sonic games. Here I review Sonic Spinball while taking a look at thoughts from back in the day and sharing some memories! Shown on actual hardware via a 4:3 CRT screen, as intended.
