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:

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!

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!

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.

Haven’t you heard? There’s an awesome Sonic contest happening where fans can win the chance to visit Sonic Team’s Japan HQ courtesy of SEGA! All you have to do is show in video form, what Sonic means to you and how he’s affected your life this far.
2 fantastic examples of how to do this correctly have been done by 2 very good friends of mine; Dreadknux and T-Bird of The Sonic Stadium. They are both very touching, entertaining and humble showcases of how Sonic has made their lives more fulfilling.
Dreadknux’s entry sees him take a wistful look back into the past with his favourite plushie:
T-Bird steps things up a notch by detailing his love for the character all whilst painting a rather lovely picture of the blue blur (with Jun Senoue’s signature guitar) in public!
The contest is now closed but on the 14th of July, the top 10 entries will be revealed and you can vote for your favourite! Go to http://www.sonicthehedgehog4.co.uk/contest/ for the full details.

Sonic Web Access is a Sonic fan game that sees Sonic traverse different Brazilian fan-sites in his quest to stop the evil Tails Doll. It’s full of gimmicks, puzzles, cameos from different fan characters and it plays damn well. Plus it has a very “unique” sense of humour containing web-speak and meme references. It’s certainly something you won’t see again. Did I mention that it’s a full game? Now there’s something you don’t see too often in the fan-gaming community! See the trailer below for gameplay footage:
