![]() Sonic 1 Megamix. Originally started as a solo project, simple palette hack, and small music edit, eventually transformed into something much more sophisticated over the last two years. From a solo project, to a huge group effort. Some have stayed on the project; others have left. But what remains is what a true collaborative effort between those with unique skills can accomplish. But enough of the babble, yes? Sonic 1 Megamix is a ROM hack of the original Sonic the Hedgehog game, for the Sega Megadrive (or Genesis, if you will). It aims to be both technically impressive, and fun to play, taking into account the elements that a Sonic game is known for. It incorporates elements from both old and new, trying to make a combination that can even prove that, indeed, even the newer Sonic games had some good ideas - ones that even work well in 2D. Oh wait, I was done with the babble. Silly me! On to the facts... THE TEAM: -Tweaker (Music/Programming/Project Coordinator) -Stealth (Programming) -Cinossu (Music/Programming) -Robjoe1107 (Level Layouts) -StephenUK (Art/Programming) -Yuski (Sprites) -ChimpoMcCrazypants (Sprites/Art) -jman2050 (Programming) -Upthorn (Debugging/Programming) -GrandMasterGalvatron (Sprites/Art/Programming) THE GENERAL INFO: NOTE: Following is mostly outdated, due to me being lazy and liking copy/paste. Read original thread here for past discussion and updates. ----------------------------- ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Some highlights from version 3.0: - All level layouts edited (some complete; others pending) - Each character now has a unique set of moves (though Sonic and Shadow share homing attack) - Most levels (not all) have a small intro, ala S3K, where they perform some sort of action when starting the level. i.e, running in from the left. - Shitload of music edits - There is now a "preferences" screen, where you can customize certain aspects of the game (suggestions are welcome) - Cheat codes have been changed - figuring them out will grant you access to a new, special level select (which is a bit buggy - just don't hit left/right on zone selections =P) - "Original Mode" allows you to play the original levels from Sonic the Hedgehog, using all of the additions from Sonic Megamix (such as bugfixes, moves, preferences, etc). There is also a seperate save slot for a character's original mode. - Title screen demos have been edited. Credits demos have not. - Super forms have been added. - Elemental shields, ala S3K, have been added. - Credits have been edited; each character has a unique end pose on the ending sequence. - Various other changes. See the Wiki page for more info. -------------------------- Further updates: Videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-THF_wC00M http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNjvhdm_GGg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZlvGbTL1Rs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dAF4p9nV0U http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQpt8kYt8uA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UjxpMe56EM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s81bQ-Cpfw8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiZuZ-rkLa0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jC0m-1eWqC0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugr57RgX6gU --------------------------- Download Link (Hacking Contest 2005 Build): http://www.fileden.com/files/15774/Sonic%201%20Megamix.bin Download Link (Version 2.0): http://www.fileden.com/files/15774/Sonic%201%20Megamix%20v2.0%20%28ROM%29.rar Download Link (Version 3.0): http://www.fileden.com/files/15774/Sonic%201%20Megamix%20v3.0.zip --------------------------- This is, pending future changes, considered a "complete" release. Future changes are planned, but not assured. More information can be found on the Manual/Wiki page, located here: http://info.sonicretro.org/Sonic_1_Megamix Comments and suggestions are entirely welcome. Bugfix releases are entirely possible, so if you find what could be considered a vital "bug" (and not, say, an error from using debug mode), it may be fixed in a future bugfix release (though personally I'd like to avoid making too many of these). Enjoy! |

















Kind of odd...
