  • Too bad this never got past the prototype phase. I would have loved to have played it. From the looks of things, the guys at STI were trying to implement stealth action instead of the usual fast gameplay seen in a Sonic game. If given more development time, I think both stealth elements and the usual fast gameplay could have been worked into the game.

  • Sad , that is was cancelled :(

  • looks like an interesting idea, but yeah the gameplay was slow, but looked goodish the abc sonic IS the est sonic series out there, no question... thanks for the upload

  • Sadly this game was cancelled because Yuji Naka didn't like that it was slower paced than the others. Oddly enough, Sonic 2006 was still released with horribly slow characters. The dumb decision was to not implement this type of gameplay sooner so it wouldn't suck later on. Dickheads Sega, Dickheads.

  • I would have played the SHIT out of that game. I was up at 7am every Saturday morning to watch that show, followed by Sonic 2 on the Genesis.

  • would anyone really bother doing that manouver to collect a single ring? this game wasnt made because it is ass

  • it looks like comix zone. which makes sense seeing how it was made by the same place. they should have released it.

    though it is kind of strange making a game based on a show based on a game.

  • This looks more like an adventure game than a speed game. i would have enjoyed this game, but not as much as the speed from the classic sonics. sonic is meant 2 be fast. unlike sonic colors, at least adventure had some speed in it. this game looks like fun, but its not a speed game.

  • @sonicmike1995 Sonic Colors had fantastic 2D platforming. It's a shame we 3D platforming-lovers were starved to bones in it. I felt too confined in the 3D segments. Not able to explore. Same as in Unleashed. Too confined.

  • @Xilosphere I really dislike colors. They didnt do well with the 2D. But at least you can run in unleashed. It's actually really fun because of its speed, compared to colors, where you just stand there thinking "hmmm...which wisp should i use for this spot"...

  • this is good art deceration

  • this is pre-rendered , no way would a single animation be that fluid.

  • I'm so disappointed. Why developers don't finished their games? Maybe gaming community lost incredible gems of virtuality enjoyment...

  • ok i wouldve liked to see this finished. it looks like fun.

    as a kid i loved SATAM. and now im 20. back then i was like 2.

    it wouldve been epic if this was finished. same with sonic x-treme

  • @crappymovies This evolved into Sonic X-treme.

  • Sonic spliner cell?

  • To ALL so-called knowledgeable fans who claim Sally was made just by DiC & Archie, they are WRONG, as Sally was MADE BY SEGA of America within a 1991 promo comic, BEFORE any show OR official comic book (like those made by Fleetway [UK] & Archie [US] in 1992 & 1993, respectively) was EVEN made & TWO YEARS PRIOR to SEGA BUYING Amy FROM SOMEONE ELSE (Shokaguken, the people behind the Pokemon manga).

  • This was a TRAILER showcasing the NEWER aspects. No doubt, since the same people who built Sonic 2 made this, Sonic would have both fast bits AND stealth bits, BECAUSE, just like IN SatAM & the Archie comics based from it, Sonic would DIE if he just ran into everything. The same ideas were IMPLIED in the Genesis games, BECAUSE you had to use timing & strategy to AVOID being hit by an enemy, mis-calculating a jump between moving platforms, & EVEN getting oxygen bubbles to swim briefly underwater!

  • November 1993, it says at the end. So this would've been produced after Sonic CD, but before Sonic 3. :-)

  • 1:19

    HeadShot!

    HEAD SHOT AGAIN!

  • larger characters? O.O

  • Well Sega may have not released anything, but surely someone out there has made (or making) to finish this?

  • i don't understand why sega never gave it a chance...do you???

  • This game looks pretty cool, and I love SatAM (I have the entire series on DVD). But, it has one serious problem: Sonic's not running fast! That's kinda the point of SONIC games...

    Maybe they could have implemented "running levels" that looked similar to Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 (you know, with the camera behind Sonic).

    In any case, I'm kinda sad that this didn't get finished. It would have, more than likely, brought the SatAM characters to the mainstream.

  • a cartoon based off a video game, then video game based off the cartoon based off video game @_@

  • First of all its a demo CHEESOdorito and if you wach Sonic SatAM on abc soinc dos move fast.

  • i prefer he running

  • My only problem would be the fact it isn't a Sonic game. He doesn't run fast. That's the point of a Sonic game. Maybe that's why they cancled and made into that comic book game or something... ?

  • Holy crap! This was cancelled? It looks like it would have been one of the most awesome 16-bit games ever conceived.

  • I loved how back in the 90s 16 bit was state of the art

  • This is a much more strategical platformer. Quite a departure from the speed-run style. 0_o

  • Though it's nothing like the original Sonic games, it doesn't look half bad. The graphics are really great for a Genesis game. It almost looks like a GBA game.

  • Seriously, why wasn't this made? Other than the obvious reason that it's nothing like a classic Sonic game, which people don't seem to like ("Oh no, CHANGE!!! WE HATE CHANGE!!!")

  • @SalaComMander so true man

  • Nice upload and lol @ 1:15

  • I WILL BUY THIS GAME!!!

  • It doesn't look as good as the old games... he runs a lot slower and all.....

  • why wasn't this complete?

  • Metal Gear Sonic?

  • @InsanimationStudios looks more like Sonic meets Metal Gear, Rolling Thunder, and Prince of Persia.

  • acuidad

    did you watch the freaking show mostly robotnik has taken over the city and sonic had to hide from the swatbots duh!!!

  • i wish it were real ( is it?) beacuse sally would have been in her 2nd game.

  • This would've sucked SO hard if it were completed. First of all, WHERE'S THE SPEED? What good is the game if it doesn't define its character? It's as slow as the gameplay of Diamond and Pearl! Also, there is nothing remotely Sonic-esque about this game other than the background perhaps. There are no loop-de-loops for example.

  • I wish they released that game, though I'm not a sonic fan it looks like an awful lot of fun to be doing so many different moves, they probably would've just took out the fun from the other sonic games though.

  • I wish I could remember the website I originally saw this on cause I'm pretty sure this was not an official sega game. I remember this being a fan made game that was going to be for the GBA emulator, but they recieved a cease and desist notice from either sega or archie comics, i cant remember. I need to find that site again cause im almost positive this is a fan game.

  • @IISharperII

    It's an official game that only got as far as the prototype. Yuji Naka halted further production because it went too slow for him.

  • 1993??? looks like a DS game from today!

  • are you crazy? didn't you look the graphics yet?

  • Ew. This reaches a new low.

  • id rather have like it if instead of making this he would've made comix zone 2

  • gotta go fast

  • I WILL BUY THIS GAME!!!

  • it isn't a rom in video

    just a concept animation

    if it was a rom,i was in internet,like true Sonic X-treme Jade Gully test.

    I have this Sonic X-treme rom

    PM me if you want it

  • no fucking way you have it. it was sold to a private bidder. your bullshitting

  • i have soni x-treme rom

    i can PM it to you

  • If there was a prototype of this game in the internet...

  • Comment removed

  • Sonic gone crash xD

    Sonic games are all about speed and fun in my opinion, and this game fails to that

  • OMG Watch this! Classic Sonic remixed

    watch?v=lVevKF8DUpI

  • That looks like a bad idea - the whole point of Sonic was the speed, which this lacks.

  • Agreed on that point. However, the idea of the game being thematically based on the ABC cartoon sounds awesome. If it was as speedy as the old Genesis games...It would have been perfect.

  • Oooopss! I ranked it 1 star! Sorry!

  • Flashback!

  • Spinball sorta looks like this and has no delay at all!

  • but if sonic went a full speed, how would this type of game play work? it'd be so choppy (fast-slow-fast) that it'd just be difficult. it looks like they missed the mark in this design

  • hey, thats why wasnt released, huh?

  • Even though it isn't like the other cool Sonic games, I still would have wanted to at least try it out. I mean it is based off of a Sonic TV show, it must good in some way. I wish they completed and released it.

  • From what I heard, Sonic being slow in this prototype was never intended. If they actually had the go-ahead, Sonic would go much faster.

  • why the freak didn't they finish it i would have nut my little pants when i was a kid for this.honestly i thought about a game like this when i was 10-11 infact i think the bonus level in sonic spinball has a couple of characters from the abc series.non kudos for however decided to cancel the game and the series(to soon)

  • yuji naka aka creator of sonic decided to cancel it and abc decided to cancel satam because it didnt attract the attention of a 4 year old it was too dark for them

  • Shame they can't just finish it and release it on Wiiware, XBox Live, etc.

  • I would like to have been able to play this.

    Although I'd prefer an AoSTH game!

  • Yeah, defeat the giant pingas while grabbing chilly dogs! Lollolololololo. Still this looks better than Sonic Xtreme and it reminds me more of Ninja Gaiden or Double Dragon.

  • Comment removed

  • I have to agree with you. This version kind of defeats everything that made sonic cool. I mean the game is supposed to be about a hedgehog named Sonic, it would be stupid to have a character whose name implies speed lurching around corners like in this video.

  • I thumbed this comment down, but only because you missed the fact that Sally actually /was/ in Spinball.

  • Fair enough but it was only a single framed sprite appearing just once on one bonus level if I recall correctly.

  • Sally's predecessor was Ricky from the first 1990 game & BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE was EVEN thought of, SEGA of America MADE a promo comic in 1991 that CREATED SALLY, resulting in her becoming the love interest TWO YEARS PRIOR to Amy being BOUGHT FROM Shogakuken--the company being the Pokemon manga--in 1993 for Sonic CD (although, Amy's precurser, Rosey the Rascal, starred WITH Sally in the 1992 Fleetway comics).

  • @TherealRNO That's very nice. Here, have a medal for replying to a comment I made over 2 years ago.

  • @delbitersoup That doesn't make sense. If this was the original Sonic game, people wouldn't have had any other Sonic games to compare it to. They wouldn't have the reference points of lightning fast speed and good graphics. In all likelyhood, people would have taken this game at face value, good or not, and any Sonic game that came afterwards would have been judge on how well received this was.

  • @daystilljersey Stop replying to shit that's over two years old. It's quite inane and a complete waste of every one's time.

  • This seems like a cleaner and more planar-based version of the original Prince of Persia (of course in regards to Sonic).

  • You know what? If this actually turned out to be the original sonic game instead of what we know today as it, it wouldn't be that bad.

  • cool thank diasis.

  • this looks like a GREAT retro game!!!and the music is bangin!!!10stars,very good game for 1993 and 2009!!! sega scrapped TOO many of their good ideas!!!...

  • This later turned into Sonic X-treme,

  • REALLY? SONIC X-treme looks so different! =o

  • Yeah, its a weird story, but Chris Senn made the choice of dropping them when they moved to X-treme.

  • i love the music in this vid!!! it needs to be included in the game,and they also need to get rid of amy and bring SALLY back!!!

  • if we can spread the word...maybe it can still be released as a retro game!!!

  • it looks like a sonic version of battletoads

  • I can see the resemblance.

  • @sabbat666 battle toads!! oh my what memories lol

  • you know, this game would not be half bad at all! seems very Prince of Persia-ey, but not that that's a bad thing!

  • That game would have been awsome

  • OMG this sucks!! Just like the SatAM cartoon it could be about anyone else besides Sonic and it could stand alone as a pretty decent series. And this could be the game. lol

  • I don't know...

    If it were amother character would I feel the same way?

  • thank sega this never came out

  • this is an abomination

  • About the only problem I have with this game is that it looked slow, but beyond that, it looked to be an awesome game.

  • Slow

  • Sonic - Speed = Shit.

  • Agreed. What's the whole point of a fast character if the game doesn't allow fast play?

  • Mmmhmm, this game has a serious case of Sonic 3D BLAST! syndrome.

  • more like a little dose of sonic labyrinth syndrome, 3d blast was actually fast

  • Can kinda see where Comix Zone got its art design from. This might have worked if they somehow meshed the gameplay from the normal Sonic games with some of the new ideas....key word is might.

  • No NO!! I got to find this game, even if its a beta type. That game is very different from all the other Sonic games.

  • That's interesting in what they had in mind for that prototype.

  • im glad they never finished this... it looks too cheesey

  • ...and too slow.

  • Metal Gear Sonic

  • I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought of that, too. :D

  • same xD

  • That would've been awexome.

  • Ahh good ole Sonic Mars..

  • i want this game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

  • One problem with this game, SONIC IS SUPPOSED TO BE FAST!

  • If you make a Sonic-based sidescrolling beat-em-up, it's pretty obvious that the only possible choice for the main character is Knuckles. The game would then be called Bare Knuckles, as a spin-off of Streets of Rage (lol see what I did there).

  • Now I know how the came up with Comix Zone. Sonic series game cancelled, they recycled stages for making Comix Zone. :P

  • Now I know how the came up with Comix Zone. Sonic series game cancelled, they recycled stages for making Comix Zone. :P

  • I would have so played it.

  • I bet if it could be made for like the DS it would help Sonic out a lot! Anyone down for an online petition to SEGA to make this game? it could save our blue friend.

    Cause this looked bad ass! I would so play it!

  • I'm for that. I just kinda doubt they still have the game files anymore. Who knows.

  • Who knows...maybe they still do...on a disk somewhere.

  • This was only an Amiga demo. There was never a playable game- the concept never got the greenlight.

  • Gee, I wonder why?

    Suppose I should just be grateful Sega didn't derail the series and send it on the express train to Unmitigatedshitsville earlier.

    Also the sprite for Sonic running into the screen look like they were ripped straight from Sonic 2's special stage.

    ROM HACK.

  • What? They didn't make it? Well, that sucks. The game could have turned out very well.

  • If they made this into a game it would be really cool!

  • Its Sonic Mars ^^

  • Its Sonic Mars ^^

  • cool! Better than the other new stuff

  • That looks pretty cool. I never really liked SatAM tho cuz it added a bunch of new characters and elements that screwed up the Sonic timeline

  • What are you talking about???!!!! SatAM WAS the original storyline. It's the newer storyline that has screwed it all up.

  • gunmoon the original storyline didnt have Sally or Bunny and it wasn't on mobius. It was sonic and the video game charas on South Island. So think before u speak.

  • I wish they would have actually made this into a game cause it looks pretty good. I would love it especially since satAM rocks. It looks pretty good I would buy it and play it all the time.

  • looks badass for back then i would played it.

  • Its looks like fun, but its not sonic. Its almost a stealth game of sorts

  • Wat r u talkin about? Of course its sonic if SEGA was working on it

  • I think he meant it's not Sonic in the sense that a true (good) Sonic game is a fast 2D experience, like the classic Sonic games.

  • OH ur probably right (I cant really tell tho cuz hes not specific)

  • well it is, but not in the way I would play like sonic. When I think of sonic I think of side scrolling super fast game play, not stealth.

  • Yeah i get wat ur sayin now. Ur right this really doesn't look like wat u'd expect from sonic

  • while not your typical sonic game this actually still looks pretty good...based on the best show too

    if they released it today id deffinatly buy it

  • me too.....

  • Where's the running?

  • I loved the Sat Am cartoon, (Not as much as the Fleetway comics but more than Sonic X). And I like the look of this game, but it is a break away from normal sonic games so I don't think it would have been liked my most people.

    Still if they bought that out today on the DS or PSP I'd buy it.

  • Oh wow, looks like a crappy game based off a crappy show.

  • would have made a good platform game, but its a bit slow. oh well.

  • Man, I'd Love to see Robotnik in that game.I'm a huge Cummings fan.

  • Heheheh... Sorry... >.>'

  • Cumming's voice sounded like a pirate. He'll make a good hell pirate haaar ye mateys. Lol

  • From what I've heard, this would have been a trial-and-error Prince of Persia type game, something that would NOT be recieved very well by the typical Sonic fan back in the day. So perhaps it was best this never came to fruition. Still wanna see how far this project got, and if the results are playable.

  • Sonic's not very fast in this game...

  • Cool! I would totally want to play a game like that a aposed to the shit they give us today >_>

  • looks like it's based on Sonic SatAM

  • Lurk moar. It is.

  • Sally's a bitch and Amy is just plain annoying.

  • Amy may be a bothersome fangirl at times, but Sally's not a bitch, because it was Sally-hating Ken Penders and Karl Bollers who turned Sally into what she is now and made Sonic into a womanizing/philandering brain-dead moron.

  • Amen

  • what u said a about amy is true, and what u said about sally is half tru

  • That game would be even better if SEGA put it in 3D!

  • Sonic-game about cartoon in 3D?

    No..

  • too bad its just a prototype that game would have been awesome

  • the first environment that's show looks an awful lot like it came out of Comix Zone...

  • man that was a mixture from a ninja gaiden,solid snake and double dragen

  • More like solid waste and anal leakage.

  • Lame. Sonic 2 > cartoon show

  • DrButler: But the cartoon show was inspired from the original Genesis games and both rocked, so don't be bashing something you probably haven't even seen!

  • I agree this would have been a cool game and I knew Spinball was based on the Saturday morning cartoon because of Bunny, and the other freedom fighters in the game and the cartoon version of Buzz Bomber as well. I think the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog is based on the first two games. Its a shame this neat game was never released or the rom for it is online.

  • i see spinball sprites!!
