This game is one of the greatest pieces of fiction. if it gets ported to PC with a better understanding of the controls, the ring tether, and the physics, then it would be the greatest thing to ever happen in sonic history. we got Sonic 1, Sonic CD, sonic 2, sonic 3 hell even sonic 4, why leave out the middle man??? Knuckles' Chaotix. I need sega to T up and finally give us an official confirmation that knuckles chaotix is canon. and that Classic espio, Charmy, and Vector arent just forgotten memories.

One of the best presentations for not just Sonic but any video game ever. A highly important game to the sonic franchise debuting so many classic characters. It's such a shame its never been widely re-released.
The music the gameplay the everything it’s beautiful I love knuckles chaotix with all my heart Marine madness is my favorite level and it’s so goooooooooood I love it
The art is amazing and i really love the vibes the music has, a really unique title to be honest!, and while the gameplay isn't your conventional sonic formula, it is still really fun to blast through, i really hope this succeeds so we can have a proper way to play this

The art, music, and cast of this game is dimply phenomenal. Though it may be rough, it has enough importance to not be stuck on a dead console like the 32X. And that’s why it deserves a PC port. Loved so much of it as a kid and wish so many more could love it now.

This game might be really different from other 2D Sonic games, but once you get used to the controls, it’s a very fun game. The chaotix themselves are also some of my favorite character designs in all of Sonic.

The game is not as bad as people make it out to be. It isn't a Sonic game, it's a Knuckles game, and once you understand that the mechanics are going to be different, once you start having FUN with the unique controls, you can actually do crazy fun moves with the ring tether mechanic. The special stages are hands-down the best the classic games have to offer, and the game breaks up its monotony pretty well with the randomized partner and level selectors. The visuals are absolutely gorgeous and the animations are fun and pretty, and contribute a strong amount to the "classic" Sonic identity- in fact, its influence is all over Sonic Mania, and especially its encore mode! Those who never got to play this game might not even know that the blue combine ring item originated from here. This game is more than deserving of a rerelease and the fair shot at life that the 32X's failure robbed from it. It may not be the best of the classic games, not by a long shot, but it's an important one that deserves to have its chance to shine.

Bubble Bobble
Bubble BobbleIn the game, each player controls one of the two Bubble Dragons, Bub and Bob. The player can move along platforms, as well as jump to those above and to the side, similar to most platform games. The player can also blow bubbles. These can trap enemies, who are defeated if the bubble is then burst by the player's spiny back. Bubbles that contain enemies can be popped at the same time resulting in different foods being projected around the level. Each enemy trapped in a bubble equates to a different food. Food is consumed and transferred to points (an increasing scale of 1000 points is awarded for each enemy burst in tandem with another meaning: one enemy burst equals one food item worth 1000 points, two enemies burst equals two food items worth 1000 and 2000 points, three enemies burst equals three food items worth 1000, 2000 and 4000 points, and so on), which results in earning lives. These same bubbles also float for a time before bursting, and can be jumped on, allowing access to otherwise inaccessible areas. Players progress to the next level once all enemies on the current level are defeated. Enemies turn "angry" — becoming pink-colored and moving faster — if they are the last enemy remaining, escape from a bubble after being left too long or a certain amount of time has been spent on the current level. A monster will also become angry if either player collects a skull (the only negative item in the game), and the monster is hit by the resulting comet crossing the screen (however, this is a rare occurrence). After a further time limit expires, an additional invincible enemy appears for each player, actively chasing them using only vertical and horizontal movements. These do not need to be defeated to complete the level, and disappear once a player's life is lost. Contact with enemies and their projectiles (rocks, lasers, fireballs, etc.) results in death.
