Intro:
I Hey there everybody, the name’s Tom. I’m fresh out of high school, and a pretty big Sonic fan, my best friend, Kyle also Iikes Sonic, and that’s how we met all the way back in first grade. So, a few weeks ago Kyle sent me a executable file through email, with the attachment titled: “SONIC” saying it was shitty and edgy as all hell, and that I should play it when I had the chance for fun. Now, I’m not one for ROM hacks as they don’t really add to the experience for me and really have one gimmick for me. But this seemed intriguing, especially since it was just titled “Sonic”. I loaded the file into an emulator and got ready. It was a bit off putting to say the least. The game started out with a modified title screen, with Sonic being a bit.. Off. I’m not too sure why, but something sorta creeped me out about him, the way he smiled, and his eyes were weird looking, looking a bit dark tinted. When I clicked the enter button, Sonic stared at me with black eyes and red pupils, and blood dripping down his face. Yikes, Kyle was right, this game was full of edge already. The Sonic 3 character select screen was in this, despite being a Sonic 1 ROM Hack. There were three characters, being: Tails, Knuckles, and… Eggman? That was an interesting pick, and I couldn’t wait to see how he would play! For some reason, Knuckles & Eggman were locked, and only Tails was playable. Where was Sonic? Was the plot of the hack to find Sonic as all of these characters and beat their levels to find Sonic? Well, only one way to find out.
