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.

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!

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