Preview - Sonic R

A short preview of Sonic R in the September 1997 issue of American gaming magazine Tips & Tricks. The article is notable for two reasons: it features Resort Island set during the evening (when the Sega Saturn version did not have time-of-day changes) and its use of prototype box art.
