I've seen this first city area many times, but man, this game is still incredibly silly. I'm trying out the 'flycast' emulator. It worked without any configuration. I'm seeing a white triangle clipping through Sonic's eye, I wonder if that's an emulation error? It seems very unfortunate.
In the flycast Settings:Video:Transparent Sorting should be set to 'Per Pixel' to fix the eye problem.
