We're setting a challenge, for this year's SHC.
There's still so many Sonic games barely modified or not at all. Let's do something about it.
Many 8-bit games.
Sonic Advance (and other GBA)
Sonic Rush Series (and other DS/3DS)
Sonic 4
The list goes on.

Due to the recent uptrend in Mania mods, the new decompilations of the mobile games, and the increasing number of 3D entries compared to retro hacks, we've decided to rename the contest to better reflect the nature of the majority of entries we receive.

The website is not yet fixed.

Just to let people know, this is a later version after Steam and it is unlikely that many Mania mods will work on this version, and it can't be guaranteed they will get EGS support later.
Want to play Mania mods on SHC?
Get it on Steam, so wait for a sale if you don't have it.

You do realise people are gonna move on from the decompiles to Origins once it's modded right?
Official >> Unofficial
The fan ports are great and RSDK decompiles can run on toasters, wait for a sale if you don't want to pay full price. People wanted official releases for years.
Thread about the better ports of Sonic 1, 2, 3&K and CD.
Instead of buying the absolute overpriced garbage called Sonic Origins with shitty dlcs and probably half of the content from the fanmade ports, you can actually play a good port.

This is how much the Sonic 1 prototype that
@HiddenPalaceOrg
showed off a month ago sold for.
All this tells you, is that people who are hoarding carts thinking they won't sell well if they get dumped before selling, should reconsider and get these released before it's too late.

So what you're saying is that Buxer did the hard carry? No wonder we don't see this man do Sonic music anymore, his back must still be killing him.
Well… there it is!
In a new interview, Brad Buxer confirms that Stranger in Moscow did indeed come from the Sonic 3 credits; and that only one of the Sonic 3 tracks actively had Michael Jackson’s involvement, with MJ asking him to do the rest.

Well at least this answers a few things.
I was expecting the prototype tracks from the beginning. Even if they were unfinished they just needed some slight fixes for the most part
Just think if it wasn't for that prototype revealing it all, you may still have not had a remaster
The "new" tracks will be familiar to those who have played 1997's S&K Collection for PC, but their history is deeper than that. Recently, a prototype of Sonic 3 has surfaced that proves these were indeed the original, intended songs before they were replaced by MJ's sound team

So the RSDK decompile of Sonic 1 and 2 has been put on quite a few platforms so far, maybe soon to be on toasters and pregnancy tests at some point.
How about a Dreamcast port like the old Retro Sonic port that The Taxman once did? Can it be done? Or is that too much for people?

Sorry for late comment, but interesting to see Sonic 1 and 2 on PC, and also all the platforms it's able to run on already.
Will SEGA finally realise it's time to make official PC releases, maybe for the 30th anniversary perhaps?
Now people have more games to make mods for.
The entertainer always saves their best act for last, wouldn't you agree? Presenting the RSDKv4 (Sonic 1/Sonic 2) total decompilation! , this is an (almost) complete decompilation of RSDKv4, the engine S1/S2 '13 runs on
