    With Sonic Unleashed info a little hard to come by (except that a demo is unlikely to be made for it this month, or even the first week of November), we look to something… else.

    “Speedy Dragon” on the Super A’can. Apparently, near the end of the 16-bit era, a Taiwanese company wanted in on the success that SEGA had with the Mega Drive/Genesis. Unfortunately for them, they chose the end of the era to get their operations started. They created a similar system with a number of clone games, only to discover the hard way that the 16-bit era was over.

    As a result, they had to scrap their production and this game became much harder to play. Although to the average Sonic gamer, it’s not terribly new; with a super peel out animation, collecting baseballs instead of rings, item monitors, similar death animation, a Sonic 2-esque special stage, and even a boss who resembles Eggman. But it’s still funny to see after all these years, for all of its anachronistic glory.

    Thanks to Shoemanbundy for finding this, and the wiki editors for putting up so much information.
