Issue 249 of Retro Gamer looks at the creation of Sonic The Hedgehog 3 and its Lock-On cartridge sequel, Sonic & Knuckles. Sonic Team’s Takashi Iizuki recalls the creation of the classic game, why they didn’t use text to explain the game’s story and what it was like witnessing the Lock-On Technology at the time. It’s an essential read for any Sonic fan and we even look at the mythology around Michael Jackson’s music being in the game.
Other highlights of our latest issue include the legacy of System Shock and how Nightdive Studios has remade it for modern gamers, the creation of the hit Mega Drive game Xeno Crisis and why The Lords Of Midnight remains such an iconic game.
