In the early 90’s I had the pleasure of playing Sonic the Hedgehog on both the Sega Megadrive and Sega Master System. A game by Sega which featured a ring collecting blue hedgehog that could spin, run, jump and roll about at the fastest of speeds in a battle against the main antagonist Doctor Eggman, plus a number of other menacing enemies throughout each level. Now I’m sure many of you remember playing this fantastic game and probably still playing it to this day, but what you probably didn’t know that as of today thanks to a heads up by our good friend XeNoMoRPH. NoRecess and team look to be working on a rather impressive Amstrad GX4000 and Plus conversion of Sonic the Hedgehog.
According to norecess, he has said SonicGX was first previewed at the Alchimie XIII (1st of November 2019) as a work in progress game for the Amstrad GX4000 and Amstrad Plus Machines. He goes on to say the game will feature full-screen game-play at full-framerate (50hz) with approx. 52 colors on screen, and a Special Stage which is previewed in this brand new video above. Although Norecess does state “The gameplay is inspired (not a copy!) from the Special Stage as found in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on the Sega Megadrive. Of course, it has been adapted to match the Amstrad GX-4000 limitations”. So yes if you have a GX4000 or Plus, you owe it yourselves to play this upcoming game when it hopefully comes out 2024!
