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

I was giving Sonic 1 a run through again just to past the time. Got to Spring Yard and when this bugger appeared:



I suddenly remembered how I used to call it "Evil Sonic Clone" just because the way it rolls up into a ball and uses Sonic's palette line (Not knowing that back then, of course.) Another thing I misinterpreted (I'm guessing this is the right word to use, correct me if I'm wrong) was that Balloon platform thing in Sonic 3, Carnival Night Zone. I always thought that was a flying Trifle... Don't ask.

Is there anything you've spotted in a Sonic game that you thought was something completely different to what it actually was, when you were younger?

Hey there, I'd like to present my latest Hack:



The reason why it's called Sonic Ring Rush is that you can use the rings that you collect to perform extra moves like the JumpDash or a Double jump at the cost of a few rings, this just makes the rings a little more useful.

Screenshots

Lush Lake:

The first act, at day.

The Second act, at sunset.

Special Stage:

Just showing the Special Stage in Action.

W.I.P screenshots

Castle Zone:

The background will be changed to a Castle Wall in the distance.

Rocky Ruins Zone:

I've shown this before and I haven't really made any more progress other than maybe fixing up a bit of the Collision, etc.

Spaceship Zone:

Only the Palette has been done, but I will change the background so it looks like you are looking out into space through a big Window.

So yeah just browsing eBay and came across this, I'm guessing it's in a bootleg cartiridge but looks pretty well done and original art too. But £1.5k, if someone would even consider buying that, they are both rich and don't know how to google search.

Link.

Just curious since it might be important for me in the upcoming weeks, does anyone know how?

Hey, all the Linux Experts out there, I'm looking for a new Linux distribution, but I need one to suit my needs.

I'm looking for-

Try and avoid the bloated crap, so minimum preinstalled software.
64-Bit Processor support.
Supports .deb
Live CD Support
Can't use the standard Gnome as the Desktop Environment, since I hate how Gnome is laid out. =
Linux 2.6 support since I have a BT Voyager 1055 USB Adapter (Broadcom 43xx Chipset, I believe)

Any ideas?
