Great Scott! This was pretty awesome when I came across it the other night. Had to post this for great justice. It’s a nice cover and it greatly reminds me of the Sonic series on the Sega I beat durring the summer. I never beat them when I was younger, and I had some extra time here and there to give the 4 games a whirl. I appreciate the series a lot more now that I have beaten them.

Sonic The Hedgehog – Green Hill Zone

A guy named Cybershell does some good runs of Sonic the Hedgehog games. I’ll be taking you through them. Starting with the first Sonic the Hedgehog. The first run is through the Green Hill Zone of Sonic the Hedgehog. It’s the first zone you encounter and one of my personal favorites. I remember going through this as a kid and just running wild. I’ll warn you that Cybershell does like to curse quite often, but it is in a humorously entertaining light and it is actually fun to watch him mistakes versus it just being annoying that the player messes up.

C’est le bootleg qui sent bon les loopings et les tunnels sous-terrains de la Green Hill Zone, et qui fera bien plaisir au fan 90’s de la console qui est plus forte que toi.

AfriqueDeluxe le producteur a bien senti le truc je trouve, en mixant le titre glamourous de Fergie et la musique 8-bit de la Green Hill Zone de Sonic. C’est mélodieux, fin et….dans le ton ! Et c’est bien de le préciser parce que c’est toujours un peu la difficulté dans le concept de bootleg, que beaucoup trop conçoivent comme la vulgaire association de la voix d’un morceau et de l’instrumentale d’un autre. Un peu de musicalité de dieu…!

This is a list of the best ten sonic stages from the four main Genesis/Mega Drive games in my opinion. I also made a video of this on Youtube some months ago. I sort of redefined a zone as a location. This way the Scrap Brain zone and Final zone are one, sky chase and Wing fortress are one, lava reef and hidden palace are one, and the Death Egg zones from 2 and S&K are one.

10) Metropolis – I didn’t really have a reason. I just couldn’t decide what to put here.

9) Launch Base – I like the boss sequence of Sonic 3 version, but the stage can be fairly bland at times so that’s why it is low.

8 ) Sky Chase/Wing Fortress – This stage is here mostly because of the innovation. Fight from on top of a small plane grabbed my interests, and getting through the Wing Fortress requires a bit more strategy than the average level.

7) Green Hill – The first and, perhaps, the most identifiable zone. Alas, it is too short to move higher on the list, as all 3 acts can fly by in about a minute.

6) Starlight – The music is of this zone is well-liked by many, and the smooth gameplay of the stage allows some high-flying antics.

5) Scrap Brain/Final Zone – Here began the tough decisions. Arrival at the Scrap Brain zone always pumps some adrenaline with the knowledge that Robotnik is near. Speed here is not always wise, as it can result in death. The setting and the traps are memorable, along with the scene after the second act. Then there is the Final Zone. Probably the best name for any zone, but far too easy even without rings, for anyone willing to use the cheating corner.

4) Doomsday Zone – A true boss stage. An epic battle between Super Sonic and the creation of Robotnik. Unfortunately, since it is just a boss fight, it doesn’t quite measure to the following zones.

3) Ice Cap – Great level concept, great music. From the first sight of the snowboard, to the sequence after the boss of pummeling through the snow, this stage has “cool” quality.

2) Lava Reef/Hidden Palace – Again great level concept and great music. What sets this stage apart is the storytelling of the Hidden Palace Zone. To fight Knuckles, and finally understand why, then to team up with him is unforgettable. This is the zone that gives meaning to all of the previous zones, battles, and even the previous games.

1) Death Egg – The only zone to actually appear in 2 games (Three if you count the fact that it is visible in Sonic 3 and a battle commences from under it). The site of great battles; of triumph and defeat; of the greatest significance in the four games. The Death Egg Zone may be stolen from Star Wars, but thievery does not take away from the importance of this zone.

Pérola separada já há alguns dias: o artista francês Mikael Aguirre apresenta na galeria digital que possui no deviantART recriações magníficas em alta definição de games clássicos da saudosa geração 16-bits.

Destaco aqui as imagens que o rapaz fez de Sonic the Hedgehog por mera aleatoriedade. Até pensei em reunir todas as imagens de Videogame Remakes (como ele chama), mas isso seria menosprezar demais o trabalho – cada game homenageado merece um post próprio!
