https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2fxsl_cIgA#t=1049 I found this through Kotaku. At 7:30 kid starts a sonic challenge there is rolling boulder i have never seen before. What do you think they developed their custom games to run on? NES, Genesis, PC other? There seems to be 2 platforms the mike game boards & vr games, and the custom interactive games. Maybe some nick arcade roms are floating around?
interesting observation, given that Sonic 2 had an early beta used on the show it's entirely possible that the version of sonic in use in this episode was not the final retail copy. See http://tcrf.net/Prerelease:Sonic_the_Hedgehog_(Genesis)
Star Light Zone music right? That ball at the beginning looks really unique, I wonder why they removed it.
I spoke to the creator of Nick Arcade. Unfortunately the Sonic 1 prototype shown there was returned to SEGA shortly afterwards. So were many others, and the rest was trashed. As for the Sonic 2 one, I found a cart with the same exact build back in 2006 and released it to the internet. http://info.sonicretro.org/Sonic_the_Hedgehog_2_(Nick_Arcade_prototype) It is unknown if the cartridge I have was the exact one that was played on Nick Arcade, but the prototype build is identical.
Now I know what to fix with the Green Hill Zone Rolling Ball in the Beta Remake. That is a smooth rolling ball. The Green Hill Zone Water doesn't animate the pallet or pallete (I am tired) and the Waterfalls do not animate.
It probably is. Based on the MANY PROTOTYPES leaked, at least 50% of them are used for a certain event. They don't write over THOSE prototypes. However, the OTHER prototypes get rewritten/thrown away (yeah, maybe it is read only, in that case go with thrown away) They wouldn't make a prototype for a certain event, and then make a few changes and save THAT as well or the other way around.
The custom games (including the chromakey endgames) were done on Amigas. Ever wonder why most (if not all) episodes offered an Amiga 500 as the first endgame prize?
Hey drx, do you have beta 3? If not, do you know anyone that has it? The reason why I'm asking is because I want to know if beta 3 has mention on the internet other than a 1992 trailer. This way we can prove that beta 3 still exists. I am a member of TCRF and want to confirm it on the talk page. Thanks!
