Stardust Speedway 013 - Spring Yard is only for show

Now; during my research of Sonic 1, I did come over a few problems. I thought that I could research this game in a few days and get a good grounding on the best elements and relevent levels of this title.

But it is taking longer than I thought; So this might take a while longer than planned; but is worth it in the long run. What I have found out so far is that this particular Sonic title has the relevent levels and also the filler levels which just join up these relevent levels with each other and I am affraid that my favourite level in this game (Spring Yard Zone) is one of these filler levels.

I have come to this conclusion because a lot more relevent infomation and events happen within these levels while the others are just there for ring gathering and score gaining. Also some of the more deadlier opponents in the game appear in the levels I have highlighted as relevent.

But I hope to bring you a full report tomorrow when I have worte up my notes for the title and have a think about what points I can bring forward from the gameplay session.

Stardust Speedway 012 - And Were Finally Off To A Start

Well; Tomorrow will mark the beginning of my first wave of research for this project; what I intended to do at the beginning of the project was do some light research and get some initial research materials together that could be used for the project.

Now I feel; I have got enough to start with; I am going to start the research properly and am going to keep the research well planned to ensure that I cover everything I need to cover.

So; I have planned and broken down my initial research items into different weeks so they all get enough coverage that they will need. So the following is what I am going to do for WEEK ONE of this initial research.

GAME OF THE WEEK : Sonic The Hedgehog (SEGA, 1991)

BOOK OF THE WEEK : Capitalism - A Very Short Introduction (James Fulture)

FILM OF THE WEEK : Sonic The Hedgehog - The Film (1999)

I am going to do a post mortum report of each title and note what inportant elements could be used within my reportand most importantly what I thought of the titles and their importance within the project.

So this is it; I hope you will enjoy the ride now it is underway and lets make this project a good one and worth all the input that is going to be put into it
