Sonic and Sega Retro Message Board: TheRedEye - Viewing Profile - Sonic and Sega Retro Message Board

Hello. I've spent the last three days going through scans of British gaming mags for my own research, but while I was at it I ripped most of the Sonic-related stuff (as in, content that was taken from prototypes) for you guys.

I'm guessing most if not all of these are "old," but just in case I've put up a Flickr set here:

There is one preview each from Mean Machines and CVG (probably using the same cartridge), a two-page ad with prototype shots, and a comic book I hadn't read before. I hope you guys find something useful in there.

Hi all. My company just released a Sonic the Hedgehog retrospective on YouTube about, oh...five minutes ago. This is the real deal, and includes interviews with the following people:

Naoto Ohshima
Yuji Naka
Hirokazu Yasuhara
Shinobu Toyoda
Madeline Schroeder
Al Nilsen
Roger Hector
Takashi Yuda
Akinori Nishiyama
Yuji Uekawa
Takashi Iizuka

I'm posting it here first because I'm excited to see how you guys pick it apart. I'd like to know what information is new, if any of the concept art in the video was previously unseen, etc. I'd also like to hear your opinions, so let's hear them! The video has a few little rough spots for Sonic nerds like us (like the "footage" used for X-Treme), but all in all, I think this turned out as good as I could have ever hoped for.

Rather than explain all this crap again, I'll just link to the "for sale" thread:

Basically, an EXTREMELY anonymous former Sega employee contacted me, based on the Sonic X-Treme article I published at Lost Levels, and asked me to help him sell a Sonic X-Treme disc he managed to take home. It's NOT a full game. In fact, there's not much "game" here at all, it's just the proof of concept shown at Gamer's Day in 1996. But it's real, and it's certainly the only disc I've seen.

Anyway, like I said, check out that thread for more. I'm not trying to barter it off to you guys, I just wanted to make sure the legit Sonic fans were aware of this.
