A surprisingly decent remake of the Sega MegaDrive version of Sonic the Hedgehog 1, in all its 16-bit glory. Controls can be a little sluggish (contact me if you’re curious about the full emulated ROM, which is much better but requires some technical knowledge, and a copy of the original game, to get working).

Gets progressively harder; the 3D version is better. Flash file: _flashnode (Flash… Read more →
