10 Huge Gaming Moments That Didn't Matter At All

10. Try Again - Sonic The Hedgehog

Despite its simple premise of going fast and collecting rings, Sonic 1 was a game where you were always on the edge of a slip up - and you felt it.

Speeding through the levels, its easy to lose all your life-saving rings, or watch the timer run out on a bit of surprisingly tricky platforming. Add this to Dr Robotnik’s increasingly inventive boss battles, and a water level that can get right in the bin, the game could often become a trial-and-error affair if you weren't used to it. Still, the sense of reward was substantial as you reached closer to the finale.

Oh, you did remember to pick up the Chaos Emeralds though, right?

You better hope so, because after all that slog from Green Hill to Final Zones, if you missed the six emeralds hidden in the tricky Special Zones, you would be greeted with a post credits panel of Robotnik juggling the Emeralds you missed with the simple command: ‘Try Again’.

On seeing it for the first time many gamers will have panicked, thinking their work has all been for nothing and that they have failed. Fortunately for them it doesn't really change anything, you still finished the game ok - and if anything it serves as a cheeky reminder that just because you finished the game doesn't mean you've beaten it.
