Mega Drive is dead, long live Neo Genesis!
Sonic Neo Genesis (formerly known as "Sonic Mega Drive") is a fangame, goal of which is to carefully recreate quality gameplay and atmosphere of classic Sonic games but also add new features and utilize modern technology for better presentation and more variety to the gameplay.

Gameplay
Currently the game has a pretty accurate classic engine replica to provide the pristine feel of playing one of the original 16-bit Sonic games.
Final product will feature several 2-act zones with bosses after each act. One of the main features of the game is that instead of each act of a zone being the same level with different level layout (Sonic 1-2 and CD approach), each act of a zone will be fairly different in tone and level-design (Sonic 3&K approach). This is done to make player experience more rich and fun.
Story
Miracle Island... Legends tell that this place is so close to the special zone that anyone can touch it. And of course mad scientist Dr. Robotnik (aka Dr. Eggman) didn't take long to capitalize on that. He has built a giant air flagship to find his way into the special zone and get his hands onto unlimited power contained there. Only Sonic and Tails can put a stop to his malicious plans.
Special stages Collect 7 chaos emeralds to turn into Super Sonic and witness true culmination of the game's story.
Online co-op multiplayer Sonic and Tails will have to work together to get through the game and stop Dr. Robotnik plans. This game mode will feature different level gimmicks, tweaked level layouts and bosses to take advantage of co-op mechanic. It will be online, so you can play with friends all over the world and don't have to share the screen.
Separate story for Knuckles with different bosses and character-specific alternate paths. His story will be different from Sonic and Tails even though it happens in parallel with them.
Support
With this game I attempt to create something that would bring joy to fans all over the world. To do that I want to create a fulfilling and unique experience yet stay true to what original Sonic Team, who created some of the greatest games of all time, who strived for bright and colorful environments, great music and, what's the most important, fun and satisfying gameplay.
Right now the game needs more people on the dev team. Currently there are only 2 people on the dev team. Me and a very talented artist Pulse0. Why can't I just do it myself?
Well I can no longer dedicate as much time to creating a game as I used to, but I still dream of bringing a great classic Sonic game to the world, that would be on par with originals. So I desperately need talented and passionate people who would help me to bring this game to life. This year is going to be crucial for this game's future.
