- A lot of you brought this game up after my previous video so here I am playing it. Though I'd struggle to call Sonic Jam for the game.com a game to be honest...

This isn't a game, it's a PowerPoint presentation
True.
ok guys so this is my uhhh this is my presentation of a sonic game for our programming… uh yeah
Even a PowerPoint presentation is better
even powerpoint presentation frame rates can go higher than this
@@thecringeofficer Approved!📄✔🤝
Sonic 3 music in Sonic 2, all while running at a crisp 10 frames per second. Thanks, Tiger!! Very epic!
This game has prototype Sonic 3 sprites, and pre-release material even featured stuff we have never seen before.
Having a Gamecom and this game, the emulator is a superior experience. The screen refresh rate is so bad that it turns into a blurry mess. While the graphics look decent enough, on a real console the second you move it turns into a blurry mess that reminds me of accidentally looking at the sun and your eyes are screwed up for a minute or so. All I have to say is, "It stinks".
The frame rate is so low it looks horrible even on an emulator. I don’t understand how they thought this was releasable

I actually doubt that it could get much better than this. The specs of the Gamecom are strange. The CPU was an 8-bit Sharp industrial controller clocked in at 10MHz. Now this sounds great, 2 and a half times more powerful than the Gameboy's CPU. Well that is great until you realize that the graphics, the I/O and everything else are run by the CPU. Now I am no expert when it comes to programming the Gamecom, but if I had to take a guess, the CPU has to render the graphics every other frame since it is trying to run the game's code as well. So you get one frame for graphics and another frame to execute code. For an industrial machine this is fine, for a game console, "It stinks".
@@jaysherman2615 Yikes. What were they thinking using that CPU!?
When you say low refresh rate, you actually mean ghosting. The ghosting was so terrible, I can’t even think of any modern examples of what it was like. Like, the second you start moving the entire screen becomes a featureless grey smear!
Symphony of the Night is the only game that actually functions on the gamecom, and that one was cancelled before the first area was complete
I don't remember asking about that... 😮💨
@@That-NinjaYou don't need to, YOU ARENT THE OP.
@@That-Ninjahow about you BUTT OUT
@@CassiusStelar why didn't you use an apostrophe with that one word? You were supposed to use an apostrophe. Do you not like them or something 🤔
@@That-Ninja apostrophe?
Sonic on a console with a 10FPS screen.
What could go wrong?
Everything
2:22 Sonic 3 unused idle animation!
Random fact: there are early screenshots of this collections featuring some parts of "Sonic 3D Blast"
Sonic Adventure 7 was worse
Yes, but that game's a bootleg, so it being bad is to be expected.
Sonic adventure 8
Sonic 3D Blast 5
Sonic & Knuckles 5
Sonic the hedgehog 4 (snes bootleg)
I once would’ve fancied a game com. Never got 1. Now I’m glad
It’s not a game, it’s a tech demo
I remember doing a play through of this game, this game is definitely hell to play.
Beating a Special Stage isn't worth it either. There are no chaos emeralds to obtain. Beating a Special Stage gets you more points.
Sonic Jam (GameCom) sucks. Thank you for making this video essay. ❤
Sonic Genesis GBA is still worse imo
@@thepg24-official i mean atleast sonic genesis gba has more than 4 colours
I sure do love playing Sonic The PowerPoint Presentation.
Now you’re gonna freak out, but have you heard of a game called “Sonic the hedgehog” (2006)?
at least that game is somewhat playable, had more than 3 levels, and the levels were all somewhat different
@@mr_red3 somewhat playable my ass that game glitches out every time you try to use a loop’de’loop
@@2_many_alts and this game glitches anytime you try to play more than one zone of a game
@@2_many_alts at least it had better music and visuals and also more content as well than Sonic Jam on the game com. Also if you hold the stick forwards while on loops they don't break.
@@2_many_altsThe only level I'd say is anywhere close to unplayable is Flame Core, because of a few genuinely awful parts. It IS a very glitchy and messy game, but it's not a Superman 64 situation. You won't have to restart the entire level because Sonic decided the entire floor doesn't exist or something.
Somehow the Saturn version is one of the best ways to play the genesis games, so the comparison between these is insane
Wow, ok, so not the worst then. That is a first, thank you for this, I was genuinely convinced that there was nothing redeemable or even remotely satisfying about this piece of garbage. I am very impressed you found some fun out of it.
Sonic 3d blast 5
That's not official so it doesn't count.
How did you play this game?
all fun and games till he sees sonic the hedgehog on the leapfrog diji
I think one thing that maybe would sway you into considering this game annoyingly bad is playing it on real hardware. You have no idea how much work this emulator is doing for the game, the original gamecom screen makes the game looks so much worse and it has terrible refresh rate
"The gang plays a bad game"

Did you do voice acting for Sonic in some fan game a long time ago?
Damn, you sound familiar
Nope. There must be someone else who sounds like me!
We need this on steam as an April fools game.
Fun fact I have 19 brain cells

what an all time classic! known about this game since i was 6.
The music for this 'port' was HILARIOUSLY awful. I actually was stunned to realize I was listening to 'remixes' when I went to check out the soundtrack for this. The Special Stage remix is ESPECIALLY terrible as is Flying Battery.
This looks like creepypasta material xD
Clearly that song was the Blue Spheres Song. Not sure how you can't hear that
Did Tiger get the rights to port a Sonic game to their own system?!
Sonic leapster & didj games?
Tiger Electronics? As in the ones who created the Furby?
Nah Sonic Jam the Gamecom is easily the best Sonic game in the entire franchise it’s peak
uh why is the one Sonic Jam the cover of Sonic R?
Tiger was never one to care about quality.
0:32 - 0:38 Basically similar to Nintendo’s Game and Watch.
Checking the Sonic wiki, it says Sonic Jam for GC was developed by Sega.
i love sonic advanced games cream is broken and overpowered in the second one and oh my she's awesome
I rather play 8bit versions of sonic on master system, they are lovely on an 80s console.
As dire as this game genuinely is I do wonder if some of the bugs you encountered are because of the emulator rather than the game
Somari looks better
Am i the only one who likes Sonic 1 GBA
Seeing this, Segw deserved to crumble. Every decision they made after/post sega genesis was horrible. Game gear flopped, sega cd flopped, Saturn flopped, this nonsense handles made form their license, and the Dreamcast flopped.
SONIC BLASD 5 is bad
sonic chronicles the dark brotherhood is pretty terrible
This has to be the worst officially released sonic game, right?
I agree that Sonic Genesis is overall worse, Sonic Jam Gamecom is like Spyro Enter the Dragonfly where it's a funny kind of bad, but Sonic Genesis has no comedic value it's just a horrible port.
Sonic 2006 its even worse
Edit: i comment this before watch the video and i see this is even worse
The worst 3D sonic game is Sonic 06 on PS3. p.s doesn't play p 06 even though you should play that instead.
Sonic 4. Lost world. Black knight and dark brotherhood is bad
I'm going one step further for a even worse game, sonic the hedgehog for the leapfrog didj (or sonic didj in short) and yes, it's also a official sonic game.
If we’re talking about dumb sonic ports, might as well talk about sonic N
I actually talked about Sonic N in my Super Sonic video! I pretty much said all my thoughts there, so I don't think I'll ever make another video about it unless it's a part of a video with multiple games.
@@walkerslegendz What the Sigma is Sonic N 😂
isn't it just sonic advance ???
Sonic Advance ported to the N Gage
@@Salnax you actin like I know what the N Gage is 😏
“Sonic Jam is harmlessly bad” - said by someone who didn’t pay full price on release
Yeah the reviewers "looking back on it, it's not that bad". Well, yeah you're playing it for free on an emulator which can mask some of the problems that the original copy didn't or they are playing an update which was a year after the initial release
You missed one of the worst parts because you used an emulator…the SCREEN of the Gamecom is quite possibly the worst thing even created by humans. No backlight, agonizing sprite ghosting, severe blur, and a generally faded look made basically everything on there with speed faster than a powerpoint slide literally unplayable. People who complain about the OG Gameboy having a bad screen have never tried to play that garbage device.
yo why did they use sonic r box art??? Lmao
man this looks so bad that i could've mistaken it for a bootleg lmfao. it fr looks a lot like sonic 3d blast 5
Gamescom released crappy games thats why it failed. Choppy framrate too.
i know i have not commented in a while ive busy but these videos just keep getting better and better and you are growing a ton as a channel i hope you keep doing what you love best and keep making great vids
So you only say sonic genesis is worse because it gives more views
You should look at the game known as Somari
this feels like if Sonic Jam on the Saturn and if those "Infinite" in 1 bootlegs had a baby, and then that baby was put up for adoption
I like how the case is sonic R as opposed to sonic jam.
The only good thing this game did was use unused and beta elements from Sonic 3 tbh
Which is worse, this or the crappy GBA port of Sonic the Hedgehog 1?
It baffles me that this system has a half-decent port of Castlevania SOTN that never got officially released, yet this did.
No, the worst is sonic edusoft
0:43 I remember LOVING playing those.
Scott Wozniak isn't going to be happy about this
Bruh should have been unsubbed for saying sonic on genesis was trash matter fact why even listen to this guy 😂
You mean sonic 07is better than the sega one yea bro trippin not watching nothing he got to say
He’s calling the official Game Boy Advance port, which is literally titled “Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis”, bad. If you haven’t heard of that port, then that’s probably for the better. The original game on the original hardware is good, but the GBA port was a mistake.
@@isbragg bro brought up GBA when this game came out on sega in the 90s lol wtf are you talking about bro
@@rishyrish I, and the video, are talking about the GBA port of Sonic the Hedgehog, literally titled “Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis”. Released in 2006 to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the franchise only in North America. It was, let’s just say, not good. Go look it up yourself.
@@rishyrishGenesis game is pretty good for its time. The gba port "Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis" is abysmal because they completely botched it.
