    The author of that old Naka interview where he talks about Hidden Palace elaborates a bit on her experience with him. Apparently she gave him a copy of the ROM dump during the interview. A surprisingly in-depth article, although her referring to Naka as the 'father of Sonic' makes my eye twitch.

    This is pretty awesome. I had no idea he got to take the file with him on a USB stick.
     
  3. Oh hey, I remember her! :D I believe she posted here for a bit as well? It might have been at the GHZ or the Moogle Cavern instead, though; after nearly a decade the facts start to get a little fuzzy. In any case that's a pretty nice article!

    My god, that place has not crossed my mind in probably 10 years' time...
     
  5. Ah, said place has been technically gone for about that long; back in like 2007 or 2008 Kulock closed the site, but it's been limping on half-alive as another forum with a name based off of a one-off joke since then.
