Pier Solar, the massive new Mega Drive RPG from Water Melon Co. is now back in stock. The version in stock is the reprint edition that features the old-school, black square artwork that Mega Drive fans will know from earlier releases.
However, the reprint edition does not come with the CD soundtrack that is optional to use with the game. The soundtrack used to be available as a downloadable image which you could burn yourself so that those with the reprint edition could experience the game the same way those who got the first pressing did.
Well now Water Melon Co. have made a 4 disc special edition of the soundtrack available for pre-order. The 4 disc edition contains the original soundtrack on 2 discs, as well as a disc of remixes and another disc which contains the soundtrack for use with the reprint edition.
The soundtrack is not expected to be released until the 1st April 2012 (this better not be an April Fools!) so there’s plenty of time to place an order. You can place an order at the official Water Melon Shop here: CLICK HERE

I’ve been unhealthily addicted to Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 this weekend. This is clearly a bad thing as the game is probably the worst in Sonic history. It’s even worse that I’m beginning to learn what bugs the game and compensate for it, making it look like there’s very little wrong with it when I’m playing. SEGA should have got me to market it.
Then I remembered a little fan game project a came across a little while back on the Sonic Retro forums. This is a 2D recreation of Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 and it’s scarily accurate. Check out some gameplay below:
If anyone wants to give this a go then the Wave Ocean demo is here and a Kingdom Valley demo is here. They’re both 1 stage demos, but if you’re a sucker for punishment (like me) then you may want to check them out.
Controls: Space to jump, C to bounce/light-dash/grind switch, arrows for movement.
It’s the 20th anniversary of Sonic the Hedgehog! You know what that means? A complete, 8-bit Sonic fan game!
Darkleo over at the Sonic Fan Games HQ forums has released Sonic Origins 2; a Sonic fan game that features more than 20 levels and is completely based on the Sonic games released for the SEGA Master System. Take a look at some screens below:
