E 1 SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2
The Legend
Thanks to the original Sonic, the Mega Drive became the biggest selling con-
sole throughout the world. Sonic 2 launched with a heightened anticipation and
expectation, and it didn't let the Blue Hedgehog's army of fans down quickly
becoming one of the top-selling games of all time. It's worldwide appeal and
availability ensured that almost everyone who had a Mega Drive played Sonic 2

Dr Robotnik is at it again, turning all the animals in the forest into robots,
enabling him to build his doomsday machine! He's grabbed control of every-
thing except the 7 Chaos Emeralds. These magnificent gems are believed to
hold exceptional powers and if he gets his hands on them, he could have the
entire world in his grasp.

ALEX KIDD AND THE ENCHANTED CASTLE
The Legend
By the time the first Mega Drive version of an Alex Kidd game arrived in 1989,
he was already by far the most played Sega character, owing to the fact that
the original was the built-in game for the Master System.
Alex's father, King Thor has been kidnapped by Ashra, the mean ruler of planet
Paperock. Alex goes to find his father, using his power to wallop anything that
get's in his way. He then grabs the gold and treasures that magically appear.
A big surpise also awaits Alex as he finds himself dragged into a game of
Janken with Paperock bullies. In this game he has to make a hand signal of
paper, rock or scissors at the same time as his opponent. If Alex's sign beats
the bully's sign he wins. If not Alex gets bonked out and loses some of his
gold.

COLUMNS
The Legend
Originally launched October 10, 1990, Columns transports you back in time to
a bygone civilization, the ancient world of Phoenicia. And play the game that
originated among the Phoenician merchants - Columns. It's incredibly capti-
vating. You'll find yourself losing track of time. Yet it's very simple. You don't
have to be a game whiz to play at the hardest level.
The Game
Columns of sparkling, rainbow-color jewels drop one after another. Arrange 3
or more jewels of the same color horizontally, vertically, or diagonally and
remove them from the play screen. If the columns pile up to the top, the game
is over. If you have the urge to challenge something different, try Flash
Columns. In the Flash Columns version, you'll be timed on how quickly you
can make a flashing jewel disappear.
Start on the easiest level and work your way up. Or challenge one of the high-
er levels from the start. So simple and so captivating! If you're ready for a
game that's full of strategy and action, then you're ready for COLUMNS. With
a little help from the Phoenician gods you can perform miracles!
The Controls
D-Button
• Press up or down to select a game mode.
