azurite posted:Speaking of which, what are everyone's favorite Sonic hacks? I just played through "Sonic 3 Complete." I also really enjoyed "An Ordinary Sonic ROM Hack" and "Sonic 2 XL." I'll be sure to check out the one Heran Bago posted above, too. Are there any other notable ones which add welcome polish and ideas to the originals? Sonic Classic Heroes is very good. The primary gimmick is that you control three characters and can switch between them, but it also combines Sonic 1 and 2 into one game and adds in the Chaotix as they existed in Knuckles Chaotix. Also also it's super configurable, you could use it to just play as Charmy through Sonic 1 or whatever.

Real Cool Catfish posted:Maybe I'm just tired, but there's something which is making this game incredibly frustrating instead of fun. Or maybe it's lots of little things. Original Sonic's level design is much more platforming based, and doesn't give you as many opportunities to just go fast for a bit. Mania's level design is more like Sonic 3, so that might be it.

But that Modern Sonic demo footage of the bots that don't even do anything, and just expect you to boost past them really let me down.

The big thing is that Battle hosed up a lot of the sound mixing, but there's a mod to fix that for the PC version.
