Hmmm... On the one hand, it kind of looks real, but on the other sonic was so off model on the title screen I'm inclined to think this is a fake. Don't know why it said Sega-16 on it though. Can any of you guys give us the heads up on this?

Well it looks real enough to me. The thing is, it's probably a mockup done on an Amiga or something. The music sounds like a mod, rather than FM (far better than anything I've heard out of the Genesis, instrument-wise), and the graphics seem to be using far too many colors. It's probably a video of a tech demo used for an early concept or something, sort of like the one that was floating around for Spinball.
Edit: this one. Music sounds like a mod in it too.

Anyway, the game probably would've been garbage. I cringe every time Sonic and "ZOMG NEW MOVES" come up in the same subject. Sonic runs, jumps, and spins. He does not throw rings. That's just stupid.

OT: Sega Fan, RE: your sig. Two player Sonic Pocket on the NGPC with your girl is pretty awesome too. It made the effort of getting a second system, game, and link cable all worthwhile. :)

We had a feature with an interview...some guy from STI I think.
The game was planned, and he gave Sega-16 the video. It´s real.

Yeah, this was already featured in an interview and it's legit just like 108 says.

Yes, this is totally legit. It can be found in our interview with former STI designer Peter Moraweic, and it's basically a tech demo done on an Amiga. Moraweic whipped it up quickly to show to management, but the game was never green lighted.

Peter Morawiec: Shortly after finishing Sonic Spinball, Roger Hector (STI's boss) took Naka's team and number of us down to DiC Animation in Burbank, CA. The studio was about to start production on a Sonic cartoon series for the ABC TV network. It was a funny meeting - the storyboards were super Warner Bros'y, all squash-and-stretch, and full of silly slapstick humor. The Sonic Team guys sat through the spiel all stone-faced, so I don't think they liked it very much. Roger was interested in having STI create a spin-off game based on the show, so I tried to come up with a gameplay format allowing for more story and adventure than the original Sonic games. I had made a number of these Amiga demos by then, so it didn't take very long to put together, probably less than a week. John Duggan (STI's Art Director) created the title screen and helped with the character sprites.

Unfortunately, it wasn't easy to animate fast-scrolling backgrounds in Brilliance, so the demo came off too slow-paced, though I always intended for it to have some fast-moving sections. From what I heard, Naka gave the design thumbs down, but it was probably the right decision. The cartoon wasn't even out, so banking on its success would've been premature, and too many spin-offs for a fresh new franchise are likely to do more harm than good. I was really excited to get started on Comix Zone which was just green lit, so the design was shelved...

Satam? What is that? Satan's brother?

"SATAM" refers to the better of the two Sonic cartoons that aired on American TV.

What it actually means, I have no clue.

that campy sonic the hedgehog cartoon furries obsess over

not the 'I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG' funny slapstick one, or the goofy anime show, the other one that's entirely unlike the sonic games at all

edit: I can wake up happier in the mornings knowing we got Comix Zone, as opposed to the SatAM game.

Spinball's the only Sonic-based game to feature the characters. And even then it broke tradition and gave Sonic four fingers :mad:

I saw that show when I was a younger. I hated it. The plot and all characters were so retarded. I did like the one called "Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog" though. Except from that "Sonic Sez" crap. Ugh.

I thought the "Adventures" one (with friggin Urkle as the voice of Sonic) was lame and childish (which it was childish).

But that might have been because I was a teenager by the time these cartoons came out.

Teenagers are childish.

I thought they were teenager-ish.

OK, I admit, that was pretty bad.

Hehe, it somehow always gets good when you admit it's bad :D.

Am I the only one here who still likes SATAM? I watched that show almost every single week when it was originally on and what I've seen of it recently has been good. A bit cheesy, yes, but it is better than "Adventures of" (which I also like). I was glad to see both series released on dvd this year, but I haven't picked up either one yet (it's on my to-do list). Funny thing, though. Literally, like, a month or two before Sonic X was announced, I had a really neat idea for a Sonic feature film and even started preliminary work on a script (for which I got positive feedback on a fanfic site) but when SX was announced it ended up being almost exactly what my idea was. So was I reading their minds or were they reading mine?

I used to like it but only really watched the first season or so and didn't keep up with it after that. I definitely preferred it over "Adventures Of," which always looked sort of slapped-together and ridiculous to me.

That's all well and good, but just sit back and think about videogame films for a second.

like, really, seriously think about videogame films

and fanfiction come to that

yes, think about that too

I thought fanfiction was a realm full of people writing pornographic stories about their favorite anime characters.

Like that dirty manga prevalent in Japan, but without the pictures.

That said tit probably have been better then Sonic 3D Blast and the Saturn would have had no problem doing that at a much faster pace, leaving only game play issues trying to line up along the Z-Axis (that would be compounded if you tried to have the same pace as say Sonic 2)

It stands for Saturday Animation. The Kids melt their brains here watching cartoons all Saturday morning gorging themselves Cookie Crisp and Count Chocula cereal.

SatAM = Saturday Morning, which is basically a dying tradition thanks to cable and the Intertubes.

And a fine tradition it was......for those who got up early on Saturday mornings.

The only time I got up real early (like 5 am) was to watch "Yogi Bear Kids" because I got some 3D glasses. I recall only part of the show being in 3D and it wasn't enough to justify getting up that early. During the week I'd have to get up at 6am to catch the bus at 7:15, so Saturday was my day to sleep in till 9am.

The best part of Saturday shows was that awesome X-men cartoon on Fox, it came on at like 11am or Noon but it was my only real exposure to X-men.
