More after the jump.
This last, full-page sprend came from a S.T.C summer special, and was most likely one of the last times they did one of these bus tours in the UK. I feel sorry for the guy in the Pink Knuckles outfit. Still, I would of love to have jumped into one of these buses as a kid. Anyone else remember these, or even better, was a lucky enough git to of been on one?

I went on one of them, twice!
The first time was at the Albert Dock in Liverpool. Sonic wasn't there, but I had a go on a 32X and my brother had a go at Toy Story on the Mega Drive. It was really dark.
The next time was better - it was at Camelot (that medieval-centric theme park). Sonic and Tails were there, there was a Daytona USA tournament in another lorry parked next to the bus, and everyone got a Sonic & Knuckles dogtag. One of the best days of my life, by far.
I was a champion on the Sega Bus and have been telling my friends for years about it. They havent believed me for all this time and now I have proof that the bus exists!!!!!
Yep, I went on one in 1994 at a games show, can't remember which one. It was set out with banks of monitors and MegaDrives, and I managed to beat the other players in a score race on Sonic & Knuckles and won a t-shirt and some stickers. As a kid those were the sort of things that really matter to you. Great memories.
I went to the tour in 1995 at Whitby I think, It was quite disappointing for my 8 year old self as not only Sonic wasn't there all the new games were being hogged by teenagers who would move of the games so I ended up playing sonic 3 which I already had and alien 3 on the game gear. If sonic had been there I wouldn't have minded not playing the games but oh well lol could have been worse
