Ports and Re-releases
A few months after the Master System release, the game was ported to the Game Gear. This version contains some slight changes from the Master System version due to the differences in resolution and color pallette.
The Game Gear version was included as an unlockable game in Sonic Adventure DX, released for the Nintendo Gamecube in 2003 and PC in 2004. The Game Gear version was later included as part of the Sonic Mega Collection Plus compilation, released for PlayStation 2 and Xbox in 2004 and for PC in 2006. The Master System version of the game was released for the Wii's Virtual Console service in August 2008.

Famous quotes containing the words ports and and/or ports:
“All places that the eye of heaven visits
Are to a wise man ports and happy havens.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“It is true, we are such poor navigators that our thoughts, for the most part, stand off and on upon a harborless coast, are conversant only with the bights of the bays of poesy, or steer for the public ports of entry, and go into the dry docks of science, where they merely refit for this world, and no natural currents concur to individualize them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
