    Makes sense. Pac is a games tester right?

    If so, that makes even more sense.

    No, I'm still on Simon's thoughts about the "out door/outside company" thing. When it's in Alpha stages, like the so called Review, it's inside the company, not outside.

    This build of Sonic 2 is seen in many magazines. "It was a so called Beta version", as it says in this Swedish official Sega magazine from 1992:

    Too many magazines used this image:

    I have said this is the Alpha title screen, but now I know is just a mock-up by Sega. The palette is so wrong. It can't be converted in any way. I have tried. Even the highest color 224, 224, 224 and the lowest doesn't work together.

    Here is my result (And it's so wrong according the the Genesis Sonic palettes):

    Our concept art is the closest to anything early alpha-ish. I'm talking about the three screenys, EHZ, HPZ and DHZ.

    Yes he's right, that's one thing I never realy understood, why other countrys like to change it before sending over here.
     
  14. I beleive they change it so the American Customers don't have a glitchy peice of shit (my opinion)
