To do

  • https://productplacementblog.com
  • Ensure all files are hosted at their appropriate websites; Sega/Sonic/CDN.
  • Ensure all Reference article entries that feature both a Sonic and a non-Sonic reference have all refs listed on both their Sega and Sonic Retro entries.
  • Reformat multiple-ref entries as nested ones like the Sonic Retro page
  • Mark all product placements

To add

Film

  • SONICRETRO: Someone mentioned that one of the people playing Game Gears in the movie Airheads is playing "Sonic the Hedgehog", but I wasn't able to find it. Perhaps there's another minor scene I missed?

  • MTV Cribs - another episode where some football or basketball player had a Dreamcast because Sega Sports gave him one. He was apparently a featured player in one of those games (I don't remember exactly). Or maybe I just made that up and it was the Redman one that I saw lol.
