This week, Davey takes Mitch on a pixelated trip down memory lane with two iconic blasts from the past: Sonic the Hedgehog on the SEGA Master System and Sonic 2 on the Mega Drive/Genesis. Will Mitch survive the 8-bit chaos and 16-bit speed, or will the retro charm leave him spinning like a broken loop-de-loop? More importantly, can these 34-year-old classics help Mitch decode the enigma that is Davey? Tune in for nostalgia, banter, and maybe a few rings lost along the way!
