Summary

Our latest Sonic series show sees us arrive in 1996, and the azure Erinaceidae's final outing on the Mega Drive/Genesis - Sonic 3D Blast (also known as Sonic 3D: Flickies' Island). Leon, Darren, Leah, Ryan and community correspondents ponder whether this Traveller's Tales tilt into isometric suited SEGA's speedy mascot. There's also a little conversation around Sonic's previous isometric outings (SegaSonic the Hedgehog and Sonic Labyrinth), as well as the not 3D Game Gear counterpart Sonic Blast.
