SegaSonic Cosmo Fighter was an arcade game that was released in Japan and Australia.
This game is notable for being one of the first instances of Sonic and Dr. Eggman speaking in-game. Their voices are very...unique interpretations of them.

Went to Manchester today, and I found myself walking and visiting some places I used to go to during my daily work breaks in the IT job, around 2018.
Felt like I had time travelled. Oddly eerie. And good.
