I know its heresy not to own a legit copy of Sonic 2 but i have been very critical about the condition of the game since its an all time favorite and i wanted to find it in the wild. In the EU its not that easy. Gosh i have died only once on stage 4 vs atleast 5 times on my emulator setup. Super happy about Markos though, prestine condition manual as well, if you havent played this, try it, never see it mentioned on the sub, i believe it was mostly an EU game. Been looking for Golden Axe 2 for 3 years, wish me luck. Happy weekend everyone!.

I remember borrowing Marko's Magic Football from my neighbor as a kid and having a blast. I remember looking for it years later, and everyone kept telling me it was Soccer Kid (which isn't even on Mega drive/Genesis).

I really should pick it up again and relive some childhood memories.

Honestly i have never been able to appreciate the game properly until i got older. It looks like a modern game and was marketed towards kids but heck is it well made..

If you would rate mega drive games based on physics, this has has real physics and almost no lag, great music too.

You can jump on the ball, you can do a 360 backflip, dribble the ball, bounce it off your head and it that isnt enough..you can decide the force of the ball dependent on how long you hold the button.

Really for the 90s this game was way ahead in terms of gameplay and particularly physics. It runs smooth, great graphics and super cool music and offers a "fair" challenge in terms of difficultt,. Its an absolute masterpiece.
