Fuck you Jurai for trying to steal the love

Disappointing. All this time waiting, and what comes up? It really is just an engine test, a very early prototype: a tiny stage with no enemies or hazards. It's not even fully 3D. Unless you are into protos, pass this one and play Sonic Jam instead.

[APE]

Old news. It's Sonic Xtreme you dolt, not RE1.5, be glad anything ever got to see the light of day.

You don't have a right to bitch; I helped pay for this proto to be released and I am completely satisfied with it.

Seriously? Not trying to be an asshole, just wondering.

Yes, both APE and I helped pay for it.

[RMD]

Honestly i'm very impressed with the texture quality in that image. Btw thanks darc.

[Stormwatch]

Sorry, |darc|... kudos for helping it get released, and glad that you're happy with it... but there's about nothing to do in that proto. It's really a pity that it is not the "eyefish camera" one. Now that looked awesome. And it's unlike any other game I've ever seen! Too bad none of the people who may own a copy are willing to share it...

Still hoping for Project S or the 32X proto.

So where exactly does this fall in development, then? Is it an extremely early prototype before they scrapped the traditional 3D for the 'fisheye' camera, or did it happen the other way around?

From the screenshot, it looks like it may be from the very early incarnation where they were using the NiGHTS engine. They switched tracks after Yuji Naka threw a temper tantrum about it

Darc, get me a beta of Sonic 1 released please, I wanna play Marble zone with clocks in the sky.
OH! and Zelda: Ocarina of Time beta too!

BOSS engine. This was used to pitch the game to SEGA, later on they used the fisheye and all the videos floating around are from a VHS tape of the PC version. Don't quote me on it but I find it unlikely that there even was a consolidated Saturn version in any compilable form.

Like this video?

This could have been the Saturn's saving grace.

This could have been the Saturn's saving grace.

I'm not so sure...

This would have been a sweet game to have for the Saturn/PC but can't always have your cake and eat it too. This music is now stuck in my head though, thanks a lot.

[Christuserloeser]

This could have been the Saturn's saving grace.

That would have been Knuckles Chaotix.

I only played it in Kega, and it was very boring. I gave up after a couple stages.

Who?

[Stormwatch]

There's a prototype for the Genesis, Sonic Crackers, that clearly is the root of Knuckles Chaotix. How come no one realized, that early in the developement, how awful this game would be?!

[Sir Slash]

i think the game looks rather inresting, an enjoyble...bug like
