[UltimaKeyMaster]

....Huh. That's a NEW remix of the Sonic 1 ending theme. And it actually sounds really good. Whoever did the music for this, you did a great job.
You could've easily just dropped the Generations title theme since it's the same thing, but it's a NEW and GOOD remix.

[bradschultz]

I wanna send this to my mom. She's 70, and a huge Lions fan. Pretty sure she won't get it. Video games rotted our brains is her perspective in the 80s.

Makes me laugh. 80s games, vs today. She would be out of her mind.

[kngjames]

It seems they are using these two to promote the new movie. Or at least I hope they are getting paid. They got sonic and knuckles cleats, I’m sure they getting something 😂. I love it!

[readtherealanthonyfaucibyr]

Don't forget Kirby gobbling up all those passes.

[bradbaker]

Been a fan since I was born in 1960. Went to many games in the old tiger stadium. I remember some of the greats Greg Landry, Steve Owens, Charlie Sanders Billy Sims, Mel Farr Altie Taylor, Lem Barney and of course Barry Sanders. Well no other running back except for maybe Jim Brown can compare to Barry Sanders. Sonic and knuckles maybe the best tandem of running backs in NFL history. These guys are great Happy Thanksgiving 2024
