Sonic remixes

Without a doubt Sonic the Hedgehog was one of the best and most influential games from the 1990s. They were a lot of fun, had great graphics and sound for the day, and plenty to explore. So it's no surprise that these games had a big impact on a generation of video gamers. Some of these gamers have gone on to program their own Sonic games for the PC. Commonly referred to as "fan remixes" here are 3 fan remixes of Sonic to keep an eye on. None of these three are done yet, but they all have promise.

Retro Sonic Nexus

Retro Sonic Nexus is quite a mouthful. Me personally I prefer its previous name Sonic XG. This game has some impressive game play and cool level design. There is a playable demo you can download.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 HD

If you ask me, the best Sonic game was Sonic 2. Well here's a project that is taking Sonic 2 and completely redoing the game but in high definition. They are not creating a new game, nor are they making the game in 3D. Just enhancing the same game but with HD graphics. Check out the video on their webpage, it looks impressive! There is also a playable demo you can download.

Sonic Fan Remix

This very ambitious project is recreating the first Sonic game but rendered as a 3D game. It's still a side-scrolling 2D game, but rendered in a 3D engine. Very impressive. Check out the video on their webpage.


There you have it, 3 Sonic remix games to keep an eye on.
