Another fine release by Lake Feperd (and his crew of musical co-horts) today as Sonic After the Sequel which is a fan-made sequel to Sonic Before the Sequel which was a prequel to Sonic the Hedgehog 2. You can visit this link here to grab the game for yourself. Pretty impressive considering the previous release was only a year ago, yet retains its own unique level themes, branching paths and more. In addition, Lake Feperd has announced a few months ago that he is working on a new Sonic fan game titled Sonic Chrono Adventure which takes inspiration from other titles such as Sonic CD and involves time travel and more open world gameplay.
But don’t get ahead of yourself, check out After the Sequel today! While you’re waiting, you can view the release trailer shown above.
Slingerland is away this week, as he’s too busy being awesome or something. In the meanwhile, we still need some Monday Links, so let’s go!
Sonic Retro News
Sonic/SEGA News
We here at Sonic Retro like to celebrate whenever we get the chance. Game anniversaries, Simon Wai’s birthday (though he doesn’t invite us to his parties anymore) and whatever else that will get our minds off real life. We’re Sonic fans. We don’t take too kindly to that sort of thing. Since we love the fan community as much as it loves us, it would only make sense to celebrate the anniversary of one of the most treasured of all gaming projects. To think that we almost forgot about it!
It was ten years ago today that Jamie Bailey (you remember that guy, right?) released to the world Sonic: The Fast Revelation. Built entirely in Klik and Play and during Sonic fangaming’s infancy, S:TFR was a marvel for its time, providing a Sonic experience that is hard to forget. Though it has been overshadowed by its younger brother Sonic: Time Attacked, there is still a certain charm that can be found within. Simplistic MIDI tones that will rock your ears, enticing cinemas, the proper use of spin sound effects, and physics that are…well, let’s just say they don’t make ‘em like they used to. And you get infinite lives! Not even modern Sonic games give you that.
Sure, we may be two hours late on the news, but anyone who is anyone should be fully aware of the fact that the Internet’s premier fan-game expo has started once again. Sonic Amateur Games Expo (SAGE for the hipster 90′s crowd) has officially opened its doors, and is expected to once again be a rousing success. Already the chat is poppin’, the tunes are jammin’, and the games…oh man, the games. You have seen the games, haven’t you?
No?
Wrong answer. Be sure to click right here to be transported to a magical land full of gaming wonder. Even though there are plenty of hidden goodies in the site, a special note must be made of our very own Cinossu and his Sonic the Hedgehog 1 @ SAGE 2010, which is also the very first game to use his brand-spankin’ new “Retro Channel.” Want to know more? Then go to SAGE to find out. Just a heads up: be sure you have a Sonic Retro forum account before getting too far.
And if you think that’s all, you’ve got another thing coming. Be sure to stick around for the intense contests, including the Eggman Voice-Off with Mike Pollock on Wednesday. And guest chats? Heck, who wouldn’t want to log on to #sagexpo and speak to the one, the only Corey Bringas! For me, he will always be Tails. Be sure to check the official SAGE site for the exact times of these events, and more. Because you don’t want to miss out.
Once again, be sure to check out SAGE 2010 and celebrate a decade of fangaming goodness. You know Simon Wai would tell you to.
It’s that time of the year again, folks. The weather is getting warmer, people are barbecuing… and SAGE is on the menu, right next to the potato salad. Delicious! Well, get ready for another grand year of fan games, events and mingling because it’s right around the corner!
