Hack creator here! Thanks for playing! The hack is currently undergoing a rework in order to scream "1990" a little more. If you're also looking for a recreation, i would recommend project Tokyo debut 1990! Iku's next demo should arrive very soon! One zone that's planned is Bridge Zone, which will have a few changes. Again, thanks for playing! See you next demo!
i've noticed green hill is missing some foreground elements though but dang it's so good to see someone making a video appreciating on how surreal sonic 1 was supposed to look. Also i have a theory that the game's visual was more toned down in the final version to appear more "western-like" and because of graphic limitations, but it really makes you appreciate how they were able to fully present that surreal style with Sonic CD and Knuckles Chaotix
this make me feel nostalgic for some reason, the crazy background, i feel like it's the way i view (viewed?) the game as a kid, a new crazy adventure, yet it's not even real
@@shaulov10 for Real, the labyrinthe zone just hit différent, the stars everythings make it so Real, i had that Sonic méga collection on the PS2, the fact that we could've played the prototype make me so crazy
Something that I love is that the secret "Sun" level was repurposed in Sonic Superstars into Golden Capital just like how Sand Shower from Sonic 2 was repurposed into Sonic Mania in Mirage Salloon
@@l0g5 Mirage Saloon WAS inspired by Desert Dazzle, but Desert Dazzle was inspired by Sand Shower, making it the starting point. I'm also sure that the background for all acts of Mirage Saloon are the same. Just at different points and pallets. But I can't check cuz spriter's resource won't load :P
The level not clearing until you reach the end of the screen is actually a thing in the regular game Or at least the 2011 version, it's been so long since I've last played the original
@@shaulov10 It only works with debug mode, and I'm pretty sure it is only the 2011 version. Fly past the goal post, but not off the screen and you'll just be able to walk around the goal post in silence (the screen locks, and the music stops until you walk off the screen)
I have an original copy of Sonic 1, it 100% doesn’t show level clear until you run off-screen. Rev 01, but it acts exactly the same as rev 0 The one game it doesn’t force you to go off screen is Sonic 3/3&Knuckles, but that’s because of the little end-of-act clear animations The rom hack might not disable your input and make you run right, which might be what you’re thinking of, but you do need to touch the right side of the screen in 1, 2 and CD to trigger the act clear screen. CD even forces it literally no matter what
I'll admit I didn't actually watch the video and just download the hack, but I was personally a bit disappointed It's yet another prototype-inspired Sonic hack, I was hoping for something more surreal than what is effectively a slightly weirder and worse to play Sonic 1 I think the surreal nature of Sonic got pretty lost later on as a whole, I think the final release of Sonic 1 keeps a lot of the surreal nature but it ends up basically being gone by the time sa1 comes around
Recently I was listening to the Sonic 2 Simon Wai prototype music and fantasizing about making a Sonic 2 hack that captures the original vision, with the time travel elements, etc. Which I know people are working on something to that effect, I saw a project recently that looks great, showcasing Sand Shower Zone for example... but the downside for me was that it has extensive options, modernizations and such... and options are not a bad thing, don't get me wrong... but, that's just to say that I have an appreciation for that "immersion" that comes from all the little touches that make a game feel like it's from the appropriate time period. Nice video.
Fun fact: do you know in sonic superstars there is a level in lagoon city on the loop-the-loop That has a small little Easter eggs find it bro 😉 (Sonic 1 early concept art )
If you think this feels like the real deal, then go look up project tokyo debut 1990 which is an actual recreation. This is more of an "beta/concept reimagined" type hack rather then recreating it.
first time seeing your content! Great stuff , u got a new sub! if i were to recommend a game to make a vid on, id say srb2 / kart or the megamix series
Personally, I don't even know which game is on 0:08 that you're so angry about. If it's really terrible or something, then yeah, understandable. Also, I'd recommend Pizza Tower as well. It's sorta Sonic, but really not at the same time. It's a Wario-like game, but yet faster than Sonic.
I like how you made fun of sonic omens tbh we know that game was really bad and i also agree too btw great videos tho and btw do you ever try play sonic 3 prototype or beta I guess that game really interesting to me tbh oh and i also forgot that looping loop in concept art it's brought to sonic superstar if you play that one stage i forgot what that stage call but it full of gold and you can see the looping loop like in concept art really nice touch
@@shaulov10 do you know that looping loop in one stage from superstar has concept art looping loop and btw do you ever play sonic 3 prototype I would like you show in your videos tho
i don't know, this all seems somewhat, 'artificial' as in this depth your reaching for doesn't exist. by no means is this rom hack not impressive and a nice what if scenario to the sonic tokyo toyshow prototype. but there's no real elements of horror or scariness, it's not 'liminal' i mean by no means are these levels devoid of characters or moving elements, there's enemies, rings, etc. I played this rom hack before actually watching the video, because i was in the mood for something spooky, but yeah... this ain't it chief, this is just a cool beta imagining.
You know liminal spaces aren’t all meant to be scary right. Some are supposed to invoke this feeling of familiarity and nostalgia. That’s what I get from this. That’s why it feels liminal
I mean I get that in a sense, It is, well, familiar, but different. I still think you were churching it up as something it wasn't to a certain degree though. No hard feelings or anything, we just express different views about this romhack, Your video isn't bad or anything cuz a stranger on the internet disagrees with it.@@shaulov10
Sad thing is, around a year ago, some fans considered Sonic 1 prototype hacks/fan games to be unoriginal, as they 'stole and re-used' ideas. In reality, they were all creative and unique in their own way. An example is the creator of Sonic Kwarino cancelling Sonic Pilot, as it was the 'same thing again' but it had a clearer emphasis on adventure than Kwarino. And the art style appeared like it'd be different. TL;DR Most sonic fans gave up on sonic 1 beta hack for an excuse to whine
Me and a few friends of mine have been working on a project similar to this, though it is based off the consumer electronics show builds and more of a concept art feel (game stared by Mr. Needlemouse) We where planning to send it in to SHC but there was a bug that we couldn’t solve until after the deadline. If you’d like to try our game for yourself, please reply on this and I’ll send you the build. The demo is only green hill but we already have 5 extra levels in the works plus the other 5 the original game has.
Theres another hack that is similiar to that one which use the tokyo toy show prototype things and make a remaster or some thing like that. (Idk if you did mention it on the video bc i havent seen entirely but just saying)
@@shaulov10 So does that mean AntDude is no longer allowed to cover this mod, since you got to it first? 😜 In any case, AntDude's thing is more Kirby than Sonic. On a slightly unrelated note; I am hoping that Yeth gets modded to more more Sonic games. So far he's only been modded into two games. Though, while I doubt the Yeth (Actually… Does the character even share the same name as the mod…?) has any background, it would be interesting if the creator of Yeth were able to share the story of their creation - even if it's just "I wanted to make a mod, had no skills, so I just doodled some sprites."
-Level design is ass -story is ass -voice acting is ass -buggy as shit -people who made it are shitty people -music was pirated -bosses suck ass -fuck sonic omens

BRO!!! You absolutely cooked. I will definitely be keeping an eye out for the next demo!
Coolio
So was the green hill S tunnel collision thing intentional orrr
For Sonic 2 it Will be sonic 2 archives
I like the fact that Labyrinth Zone is the second level like SEGA originally planned for it to be, instead of being the fourth like in the final game.
Feels like a liminal space of the Sonic franchise
That’s what I’m saying!!!
It's a bit like the Spaceworld 97 demo of Pokemon Gold and Silver (which was eventually found)
It's like reading a book from the library of Alexandria. Something that shouldn't exist, but does
Fr man a crazy experience

It was a cool reference
What I loved about Sonic 1 is the Nightmare World concept, idk why it's really interesting to me
this make me feel nostalgic for some reason, the crazy background, i feel like it's the way i view (viewed?) the game as a kid, a new crazy adventure, yet it's not even real
Same man. I’ve been infatuated with the prototype for so long and now having something that feels this authentic. It feels cathartic
@@shaulov10 for Real, the labyrinthe zone just hit différent, the stars everythings make it so Real, i had that Sonic méga collection on the PS2, the fact that we could've played the prototype make me so crazy
I heard that if you play it at 3 AM, Sonic.EXE comes out and Frontiers inside you
OMG NO WAY SO SPOOKY 😱😱
Don't you mean at tree AM?
This didn't had to go this HARD!!
Oh but It did
@@shaulov10 sure it did! XD
@@shaulov10it went hard due to that 2 second omen clip
Something that I love is that the secret "Sun" level was repurposed in Sonic Superstars into Golden Capital just like how Sand Shower from Sonic 2 was repurposed into Sonic Mania in Mirage Salloon
Mirage Saloon was actually based off of a cut level from the 2011 version of Sonic CD, the Knuckles Act 1 background is from SCD as well

praying for it man
Update: due to some events, the zone art made by super sonic 321 will be discarded when the second demo arrives (well, most of it)
That 3D fan game at the very start looks quite good. What's it called?
Sonic testlabs
@@shaulov10 Is that the one you were yelling about not wanting to talk about?
I should really wanted a TTS Proto to play. But this was pretty cool!

Wait till he finds out…
The most surreal game is honestly sonic omens. Its too good to be real
You saw the video…
@@shaulov10😔
The day Shaulov makes an Omens video will be the end of humanity
@thelegendarybluehedgehog5465 has ones become the new sonic [REDACTED]
I wish a rom hack can change my life
"It almost felt like a liminal space" reminded of Sonic Forces, because of its straight lines as level design.
That makes sonic debut more like what if game was finished and released as intended originally
Fun fact: do you know in sonic superstars there is a level in lagoon city on the loop-the-loop
That has a small little Easter eggs
find it bro 😉
(Sonic 1 early concept art )
Yeah I saw it. I thought it was neat
@@shaulov10indeed 😌
(and also there are more Easter eggs in sonic superstars That I let you finded bro 😊)
U made this on Halloween so it must of been hard with kids knocking on ur door
Nah I made this last night
Whats that cell shaded 3D game you're playing?
It’s callled sonic testlabs
If you think this feels like the real deal, then go look up project tokyo debut 1990 which is an actual recreation. This is more of an "beta/concept reimagined" type hack rather then recreating it.
I’ve seen this. And yeah that’s way more accurate but this has a different kinda feeling. Like the earliest prototype they had type vibes
PLEASE never cook again
first time seeing your content! Great stuff , u got a new sub! if i were to recommend a game to make a vid on, id say srb2 / kart or the megamix series
Glad you enjoyed the content. Defo want to play megamix mania some more
