What is the song being played in this video?

I'd love to get access to the original mockup for this. By that, I mean something executable on an Amiga (it's my understanding that all of Morawiec's mockups were done on the Amiga). As a huge Sonic nerd, I would love to be able to run these on my Amiga 2000 or 3000.

I like more this conceptual demo that the original game released for megadrive/genesis :) the music is very good¡

if u ask me it was spinball that split the sti group the most plus it also left the american programmers behind when sega became focused on the saturn..

rough time,, im workin on a script atm for a video about the effects of sti on sega etc..

i mean the american sti group wernt bad game makers in my opinion... just a little slow..

You have to remember that the game designers had to make allowances for the limitations of the MD/genesis hardware, so the final product rarely looks as good as the concept, plus STI had only 6 months to put this game together.

That looks better than the actual game, but i guess it is only the concept. To me, it looks like expectations weren't exactly met
