Sonic 2 on Sonic Jam

[FishySaysSpoon]

This may not be the place for this but... I was playing sonic 2 on sonic jam the other night and having a strange issue I have never noticed before. After dying with 1 life left it would still display I had one life left. If I died again it would quickly display 0 lives left and then display game over. Now I am not sure if this is a reoccuring issue but has anyone else experianced this?

That is strange. I guess it registers lives as "1 left" and "0 left," as opposed to others that registers your last life as 1 left (as in the one you're currently playing, with none in reserve).

Does that make any sense or am I babbling? :t:

I have noticed this in other games...

I will check with the real Sonic 2 and the Sonic Jam Sonic 2 later this evening and post my findings.

Melf is correct. It does that on both the Saturn and Genesis versions. I, too, have noticed that in other games. While I was at it I noticed that Sonic 2 sure runs more smoothly and with much less slowdown on the Genesis.

I just checked again on both the saturn and the genesis. What I thought that happened was something like 3 lives left then 2 lives left then 1 life left then 1 life left (When it should be 0) then game over. However as I just noticed and as others have previously mentioned that is not the case. I must of spaced out or something :P...
