A Sonic 2 Beta i found ON THE FLOOR of a store that was going through reforming. It was an old music and game store; they moved out, and the building was beinf turned into something else; the cart was on a pile of rubbish, and I'll never know WHY it was there, when everything else from the store was gone. I picked it up and went home smiling.
