Existing entries in the index now have a much tidier look that puts the artwork front and center and any additional images are now linked via image thumbnails at the bottom. Just makes the entries a little easier to navigate.
The big update comes with 5 new entries to the index. These come in the form of the recent Data Discs vinyl releases of Streets of Rage, Shenmue, Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master and Super Hang-On. Each release has its own separate entry with artwork and details about the release we thought were striking.
The final addition comes in the form of a Pulseman remix LP that was recently given to us by a good friend. This is quite a peculiar release as it was distributed in the UK despite the game never making it out of Japan.
Remember that Anippon range of SEGA console-themed shoes we previously reported on? Well you lucky Americans can now buy them on your shores and avoid the crazy import prices!
Tokyo Otaku Mode are now selling the Saturn, Dreamcast and Mega Drive designs for $69.99 a pair. Pricey stuff. You also have to figure out your shoe size in the Japanese standard which you can do with a sizing chart.
In 1993 a man called Keith Bugeja was working a new platformer for the Amiga called Blaze. The game was to be published by Warp Software but development was stopped for unknown reasons. Well, I say, “unknown” but when you look at how close the action is to the original Sonic the Hedgehog, you’ll soon come to your own conclusions.
Check out Blaze in action via the embed below:
The only existing build of Blaze has now been dumped and is available to download from Bugeja’s personal blog.
The Sonic Hacking Contest 2015 is now live and we’ve been attempting to review as many of the hacks as we can. We probably won’t get a chance to look at them all but you can check out 9 of them in the following 3 round-up videos on our YouTube channel:
Today on our YouTube channel we have decided to take a journey into the past and open 10 packets of 1992 Panini Sonic the Hedgehog stickers and stick them in the accompanying album, for your amusement! Check it out below:

An unreleased Mega Drive version of System 3’s long-delayed Putty sequel Putty Squad has been dumped and is available to download now. Click here to try the game for yourself.
Putty Squad was originally due for release on Amiga in 1994 but went unpublished until 2013 when it was given a new lick of paint and released on PS4, PS Vita, PS3, 3DS, XBLA and PC. This Mega Drive version would have been made around 1995 and like the Amiga version, even made it to review in certain publications.
You can see the game in action via the video below:
3D Sonic the Hedgehog 2 finally has a release date! The stereoscopic 3D remaster by M2 hits the 3DS eShop on the 8th of October.
Outside the obvious addition of stereoscopic 3D visuals, the only major change to this version of Sonic 2 comes with the ability to save anywhere and play multiplayer co-op or vs modes with each player on a dedicated device. Also included is a new unlockable Super Sonic mode which allows you to activate Super Sonic at any point in the game.
Revealed at this year’s Tokyo Game Show, Anippon have launched a range of three SEGA-console themed pairs of shoes.
The range includes a Mega Drive design (see above), a Saturn design and a Dreamcast design. They are currently exclusive to Japanese markets and will set you back 8000 yen a pair (£42.94 at the current conversion rate).
SEGA Japan really know how to make good use of their legacy, eh?
