Fan Scene: SEGA Saturn Megamix

Monday, November 22nd, 2010

I’m on a pretty big SEGA Saturn buzz at the moment so anything related to SEGA’s 32 bit wonder has been of instant appeal to me. However, this little discovery is very cool regardless of my rose-tinted glasses.

Theodore Taylor III has developed an hour long mix of tunes from various Saturn games and put it online for free download. It’s a great little project that is mixed incredibly well and makes for an awesome bit of listening. Tracks from Virtua Figher 2, Fighting Vipers, Sonic 3D Blast, Burning Rangers and Daytona USA all make the cut.

You can download the entire thing complete with artwork by visiting Theodore Taylor III’s blog. There’s also a nice little explanation behind the origins of the project.

Fan Scene: Sonic the Hedgehog Classic

Wednesday, October 6th, 2010

You probably know I’m a big supporter of Sonic fangaming and if there’s one game I can’t wait to get my hands on this year, it’s Sonic the Hedgehog Classic. Developed from the ground up by Hez, this fangame pays homage to Sonic’s Mega Drive era. Taking influence from all Sonic’s 16 bit titles, Sonic the Hedgehog Classic is an entirely original game that looks and plays exactly as you’d imagine a Mega Drive Sonic game should. Check out this sexy trailer that gives you an insight to the full game:

A demo of the game is still available here. Hez hopes to release the full game before the end of 2010.

Fan Scene: Skies of Arcadia Dreamcast Mod

Wednesday, October 6th, 2010

The Dreamcast modding scene is one of the most fascinating chapters of SEGA fandom. It has a remarkably loyal fanbase who do some incredible things like add extra LEDs, create custom paint-jobs, cut shapes in the cases as well as add windows in the disc cover.

This amazing mod features a completely hand cut Skies of Arcadia symbol which is illuminated with extra blue LEDs that sit in the disc tray. The whole thing is completed with a lovely, gloss finish. This is truely a sight to behold:

Fan Scene: Make Your Own Mega Drive Version of Sonic 4

Monday, September 27th, 2010

I love stuff like this. SEGA Addicts have put together a set of graphics you can print at home and insert in an old Mega Drive game to magically transform it into a Mega Drive copy of Sonic the Hedgehog 4! Of course, you won’t be able to play Sonic 4 on your Mega Drive but it won’t half look awesome next to your copies of Sonic 1, 2, 3 and Knuckles!

You can download all the files you’ll need by clicking this link. So hop to it and get creative!

Fan Scene: They Hunger Ported to Dreamcast

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

Like all great games, it doesn’t take long until someone makes a zombie mod for it. Half-Life was no exception. The mod in question is titled ‘They Hunger’ and was released exclusively through PC Gamer in 3 episodes.

All 3 episodes have been collected and ported to the Dreamcast thanks to the lovely people at Dreammatrix and hosted at DCISOZONE.com to download for free. Click here to be taken directly to the page.

Here’s a little insight into what you can expect:

Obviously, this is being played on a PC but you’ll be delighted to here that the Dreamcast version plays incredibly well despite some occasional loading and some slowdown during sections with a high density of enemies.

So what are you waiting for? Get yourself a copy of Discjuggler and a disc to burn the game on! Long live the undead console!*

*Thanks Dreamcast Junkyard!

Fan Scene: Sonic 2 XL

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

If you don’t know, there is a large community of people who hack and alter the original Mega Drive Sonic games. There have been a wide variety of hacks over the years that do simple things like change the colour palette, add new graphics and levels or change the gameplay.

Sonic 2 XL is a hack that changes all the rings into onion rings. Upon eating multiples of 5 onion rings, Sonic will put on weight and become more difficult to maneouver. The concept is ridiculously simple but absolutely hilarious in action.

It also adds an incredible amount of depth to the game and makes it a lot more difficult to play. You will constantly find yourself stuck near more onion rings, running back and forth to burn the weight off before you can continue. Eating too much will cause Sonic to become morbidly obese and immobile, eventually resulting in his death.

To play Sonic 2 XL you will need a Mega Drive emulator and a copy of the ROM which can be downloaded from Sonic Retro. What are you waiting for? Hop to it! I mean… waddle to it!
