Sonic The Hedgehog Prototype - Based on the ABC Cartoon

Here's a brief clip featuring an unreleased Sonic game that was produced in the United States by the Sega Technical Institute which was never completed. It features a number of changes to the familiar Sonic formula, such as a variety of different moves, as well as moving in a pseudo-3D space.

BTW, I don't have the rom, so please, save your questions!

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

[JASSICSCLUB]

I WILL BUY THIS GAME!!!

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 :(

[Jshaw71]

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.

@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"...

[Xilosphere]

@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.

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

[darkryu38]

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.

[sonicmike1995]

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.
