    Together with the fine folks of TCRF, we would like to announce Sonic Month 2019!

    We were able to obtain several new prototypes for Sega Mega Drive, Sega CD and Game Gear/Master System Sonic titles. These come from multiple sources, but we decided to have some fun and released them all in one month.

    They are going to fill some gaps in our collection of Sonic prototypes, as well as answer some very long-standing questions. And who knows, maybe ask more questions of their own :)

    October 25

    A small Sega CD surprise for TCRF’s birthday!

    Every day listed below, at 2PM Pacific time (9PM GMT), we will have a live stream of one or more prototypes. After each stream, we will release the ROMs.

    Bitching and complaining about my country -.-'
    Wow.

    Just wow. I never thought we would see where that wacky screenshot was from. So obscure! I'm amazed you guys managed to get hold of that! Is it possible to see pics of the disc/case?

    Thank you for this, I REALLY look forward to see what's next! :)

    Simply the best. Being blue balled over the course of a month never sounded better.

    Now someone try finding the graphic of Sonic smiling that you see on the cover. Probably hiding on the disc somewhere :)

    Wow. I've always been intrigued by that demo. To finally try it in an emulator is almost surreal. Many thanks!

    You're one of my all-time favorite people DRX, thanks so much for all of this! I hope we can meet one day so I can buy you dinner or something to say thanks in face! You're a good dude, and not just because of this prototype stuff. Lots of love your way :)

    Thank you very much for finding this and making Sonic Month possible! I've seen magazine screenshots of Sonic holding that CD in the past, I originally thought that we'll never see what's beyond them.
    Keep up the good work as I can't wait to see more content! :)

  17. It's crazy seeing this demo surface after all of this time. I can't speak for others, but I had long given up on finding out where the widely-circulated image came from. It was also interesting to read up on Sega Multimedia Studio! I didn't know that Spencer Nilsen started with Sega when they opened the studio
