Lost tails

one afternoon, I was looking at a garage sale and I had been looking for sonic games because i was a big fan of sonic! and I found a classic sonic game and of course I bought the game without thinking twice, and popped it in to my computer and started playing and I was sonic the levels were normal until I noticed that tails was not following me confused. I finished the course and then the game said you feel sad, And I continued on finishing levels and finally it said tails is lost help him and then my game was glitching out and these words kept on popping up on my screen TAILS IS LOST HELP HIM! and then I was teleported to Angel Island and It said TAILS IS LOST YOU WILL BE TOO and my game shut off. Days later I destroyed the copy but it still gives me the chills thinking about it.
