Sonic the Hedgehog Classic

Wellll the article has been gutted; there's no more video. Was fun while it lasted!

 

Random thought: The milliseconds counter doesn't match up at all with the seconds. It only goes up to 60. :v: You could remedy this for Classic 2 by multiplying it by 5/3.

 

Sorry for bringing back such an old thread, but I wanted to know if anybody still has the last version of this prior to making the game widescreen. I wanted to play this again, but I didn't want to have to deal with the glitches from the mirror-mode not working properly in widescreen, and since MegaUpload has been dead for ages, the original links don't work anymore. (Actually, would it be a good idea for somebody to upload a mirror or something for the Wiki page to this game?)

 

I personally use MediaFire. MEGA's always worked well for downloading, I've never used it for uploading. Same goes for Dropbox, you can give download links for it easily, although I've never used it for uploading either. I know with MediaFire and Dropbox, you can replace the files directly with updated versions so you only ever need to give out one download link.

 

I would probably recommend MediaFire. Never used MEGA myself, though.

Also, Hez, your signature outright confuses me. Is that for real or am I missing any inside jokes in here?

 

Thanks for fixing up the game! Honestly, I would have been fine with just getting the last version before it was made widescreen.

I was wondering about something while I was downloading this. You're putting pretty much all of Classic 1 into Classic 2, what exactly is the process for doing this? Since both games are using the Sonic Worlds engine, is it essentially just copy/pasting the levels from one project into the other, or is there more to the process than that? I was just curious if it would make any difference finding any leftover bugs or whatever from the first game to make sure they don't get added into the second when the levels are ported over.

By the way, are SC2's ported levels going to have the same missions as SC1? It would be nice if you had some sort of feature where we could port mission progress from the first game to the second so we can keep going from there if we aren't finished yet.

 

Don't know about Classic 2 but I'm pretty sure Classic 1 was not made with Worlds.
Anyway one thing I'm asking for is more polish. Classic 1 is a stellar game hindered with numerous bugs varying from annoying to gamebreaking + - also special stages suck ass but that's my opinion  

 

Honestly, I enjoyed the challenges in Classic 1, even if I didn't get to enjoy the game itself that much due to it constantly crashing on me in Gigalopolis Zone Act 2 after entering a Special Stage, I think it'd be best to wait for Classic 2 for the polished Classic 1, because the level design itself wasn't bad.

 

I actually have been enjoying the challenges, and that was what I meant. Some of the ideas for challenges were pretty unique, much more than just "beat the level as fast as possible for a rank". I think the only major difference I would make would be something like a radar of sorts for the challenge where you have to hunt down an oversized enemy. Isn't the ranking for that one time-based? You could have an arrow pointing towards where the enemy is located appear after Sonic stands perfectly still for three seconds or so, and have the arrow disappear once Sonic starts moving again. That way, the player constantly slowing down to activate the arrow would still result in a lower rank, while they'll still have an easier time making progress in general.

 

There is a looping game breaking glitch_where I cant progress past Robot Rave act3

Complete the act and it loops you right back to the beginning of the act.

Any update on Sonic Classic 2 yet Hez? You've been quiet for a while. How's development progressing? Would love an update.

 

You know, there is an actual Sonic Classic 2 thread, just saying. :v:
