And here we come to the era where Mick McMahon... starts doing art for the Sonic stories. As you may recall, he did a great job on Decap Attack, and he did some amazing work for 2000AD, but hoo boy was he not the right choice here.

No joke, when I read this issue as a kid I considered writing in to complain.

Sonic 3 didn't get a rating when it was reviewed in StC 19, but given S&K's and Sonic CD's scores we can intuit that it would've gotten at least 91%, with S&K getting at least 92% instead

I put off including the 70% games, but if I'm going to do top 10 lists then I need to include the ten lowest scores.

And yeah... that's it. No more reviews from StC. Kinda weird to finally be at the end, but Review Zone seems to have been a bit of an afterthought after the initial flurry of reviews. Can't say I blame them - gaming magazines already had the market covered, and it's not like anyone gave a damn about the Saturn.

For anyone who cares, Ecco the Dolphin got the most reviews (three separate reviews for three different platforms, not just lumping Game Gear/Master System games together like a few titles) but Sonic & Knuckles for the Mega Drive was the only game reviewed twice, thanks to a budget re-release.
