Take a walk on the dark side as we continue our journey through the soundtrack of Sonic Adventure 2, this week covering the story from Shadow, Rouge and Eggman's perspective aka the Dark Story. Gone is the light rock of Sonic to be replaced by the heavy rock and borderline metal of Shadow, Knuckles' bumping hip hop has been replaced by Rouge's smooth jazzy sounds and whatever Tails had is now replaced by whatever Eggman has - listen in to find out!
An epic three parter begins as cdrom1019 covers a big game, with a big story, and a very big soundtrack - Sonic Adventure 2! Starting on this first episode we'll be covering the story from the perspective of Sonic, Tails and Knuckles or, as it's called in game, the hero side of the story.

Tune in to find out if the little SNK does Sonic music justice - we think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
The journey continues in this second part of our Sonic Adventure extravaganza as cdrom plays you the entirety of this iconic soundtrack's second disc featuring music from the second half of Sonic and friends iconic first fully 3D... what's the word we're looking for? Oh yes - adventure!
After 2 special episodes, we find ourselves in the 128-Bit era talking about Sonic's first TRUE forray into the third dimension on what would become SEGA's final home console. On this episode, we take you through the first disc of the game's soundtrack release, but join us for our own mini adventure over the coming weeks as we make our way through the acclaimed soundtrack to Sonic Adventure!
cdrom covers Sonic R on this episode of The Strictly Sonic Show, the fondly remembered racing game with the cult classic soundtrack. But he's not alone, for he's joined by TJ Davis! The two chat about her music career, her time working on SEGA projects and answer a variety of questions posed by the RadioSEGA community. Come for the music, stay for the special surprises. RadioSEGA is proud to present The Strictly Sonic Show's TJ Davis interview!
TheGreenViper8 takes on TSSS as part of our Summer Shakeup event! On the cards for today: Sonic Jam. The game's a celebrated collection of Sonic's (admittedly short at that point in time) history featuring lots of interesting bonus material and even an entire hub world based on a Sonic Adventure prototype! But as much as we try, we also can't avoid talking about the dreadful Game.com """port""" and it's even more abysmal soundtrack. So join Viper for a rather strange and longer than expected episode of The Strictly Sonic Show as he takes you through the highs and lows of Sonic Jam!
It's almost time to jump into Sonic's shortlived time on the Saturn on The Strictly Sonic Show, but before we can get to that we need to cover Sonic 3D Blast... wait, it was on Saturn too? With a completely different OST? Well then... Join cdrom for a chat about Sonic's first forray into "3D" while playing music from both acclaimed but vastly different soundtracks!
We've FINALLY reached the end of an era here on TSSS, the final Game Gear title! Sonic Blast AKA G Sonic launched for the platform in 1996 and would mark the final 8-Bit title in the Sonic series. Although cdrom's ""love"" of the Game Gear soundchip is known on the show by now, what does the rest of the chat have to say about the OST? And what does everyone think of the game itself? ...probably nothing good.
In a completely unplanned twist of fate, cdrom takes you through the OST of Sonic the Fighters on the same day as its Lost Judgment cameo reveal! Although not exactly a renowned fighting game, Sonic the Fighters is beloved by many fans for its zany gameplay and its catchy soundtrack. What do chat and cdrom have to say for the game though? All that and more on this week's TSSS!
It's ATTACK OF THE OBSCURE TITLES today on TSSS as cdrom looks at 6 obscure Sonic titles with questionable soundtracks and even more dubious gameplay. With his own and chat's low opinions of these titles, how long will it take for all of our IQ points to slip? Find out and become enlightened on this week's episode of The Strictly Sonic Show!
Sorry all, cdrom's caught in a maze today. Unrelated, let's talk Sonic Labyrinth! It's not exactly a beloved game or OST, so what will our Discord server have to say about it? And will cdrom survive yet another week of 8-Bit music? Find out only on The Strictly Sonic Show!
After a 32-Bit pallette cleanser last week, we're heading straight back into the 8-Bit titles with 2 Tails spin-offs: Tails' Skypatrol and Tails Adventure. The first and only Tails focused games in the series both have their fair share of quirks but what do you guys think of them? And what's our Discord's consensus on the OSTs? Join cdrom for all that and more on this week's episode of The Strictly Sonic Show!
Up now on our adventures is another title which teeters on being a Sonic game, but it's hard to deny the game's place in our lineup considering all the ties it holds with the blue blur himself, even bearing in mind his absence in the title. We're of course talking about Knuckles' Chaotix and its older, buggier counterpart: Sonic Crackers. Despite the interesting background behind it, Knuckles' Chaotix isn't exactly the most beloved entry in the franchise but its soundtrack holds a place in the hearts of many Sonic fans. So come and join cdrom as he discusses the only 32X title on our journey!
After showcasing his love of the first game a few weeks back, you can bet that cdrom is over the moon that they decided to make a Sonic Drift sequel so soon after the first game's release? No? Well join him anyway for a show all about the fleshed out sequel and its larger than last time soundtrack!
We're still not done with those 8-Bit OSTs here on The Strictly Sonic Show, so up now is Sonic Triple Trouble. Released for the Game Gear in 1994, this handheld exclusive introduced the world to... wait... is it Nack the Weasel or Fang the Sniper??? Tune in to find out our answer to the burning question while we hear your thoughts on the game and play the tunes!
cdrom1019 takes you through Sonic Drift, a forgotten game with a forgotten soundtrack! For the sake of not leaving you less than half empty 23 minutes in, he also takes you through ViRiX Dreamcore's "Project Drift" album and asks just why is it that you people love your 8-Bit so much?!
The Strictly Sonic Show tackles Sonic's best regarded classic entry: Sonic 3 & Knuckles. We play the soundtrack, talk all about your memories and bring up the biggie: Hydro City... or Hydrocity? Hmmm....
Thanks to popular request, cdrom1019 is looking at 1993's totally 100% original Sonic puzzle game: Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. Both the 8 and 16 bit versions are on the cards tonight along with their OSTs and your opinions. Puyo Puyo? Never heard of her!
Have you ever felt the need to play pinball as a blue rodent? Nope? Well in 1993, SEGA Technical Institute really thought they were tapping into this market when they released Sonic Spinball, a love it or loathe it pinball game featuring elements from Sonic's cartoon appearances of the time. We're here to talk about your memories, but more importantly play you the highs and lows of both the 16-Bit and 8-Bit soundtracks!
It's about time we started looking at those 8-Bit exclusives now on The Strictly Sonic Show, so let's start with one of the most adored of them all: Sonic Chaos. Regardless of whether you grew up with the Game Gear version or the Master System version, you (mostly) got the same great OST. Let's go through the soundtrack and hear your memories in the process!
After last week's slightly underwhelming game selection, it's time that we brough out the big guns: Sonic CD. The most polarising entry in the classic series in terms of gameplay also brings with it the most widely beloved soundtrack, and... another slightly less loved soundtrack? Join us this week on The Strictly Sonic Show as we explore by far the largest Sonic OST on the show up until now with a 4 hour romp full of various twists and turns!
This week's show takes a slight detour as we look at the obscure Japan only arcade title known as SegaSonic the Hedgehog! Nowadays best known for its unique control scheme and introducing Mighty and Ray to the series before their demise and rise from the ashes, but it's lack of a home release means that cdrom and our chat aren't all too familiar with the title, so instead join us for trivia and a run through the game's soundtrack!
The Strictly Sonic Show presses onwards now to the much adored sequel known as Sonic the Hedgehog 2! Join cdrom for a look through both the iconic 16-Bit version, and the flawed yet beloved 8-Bit version.
cdrom1019 returns to RadioSEGA with a new take on an old concept, as he reboots The Strictly Sonic Show after the series' 9 year hiatus! The show's received quite an overhaul since it made the jump from S:SR to RS, so it only seems appropriate to start back from the beginning. On this episode, we take you through both versions of Sonic 1 while taking time to reflect on their great OSTs and our Discord server's thoughts on Sonic's humble origins.
(Originally aired in January 2012 on SEGA:Sonic Radio) Onto the next step in Sonic's history now as we take a look at both the 8 and 16 bit varieties of the smash hit sequel known as Sonic the Hedgehog 2!
(Originally aired in January 2012 on SEGA:Sonic Radio) cdrom1019 is back with a new show, taking a dive into the history of Sonic! And what better place to start than at the very beginning with 1991's Sonic the Hedgehog?
