The goodgen 2.05 name it's "Sonic and Crackers (Beta)" (What a surprise)

True its a great site. You might like too the Genesis Collective Offline database, which it's full compilation of the site's info in windows chm help format. The most interesting it's you can load it in Gens, just got to Options -> Bios/Misc Files and insert GCO's path. Now start a Genesis rom, then hit <F1> to browse the info about that game / series

I found that game too an was wondering what the hell it was
i mean a sonic game with only playable stages!
i thought it was ridiculus

but then again i didnt know it was a beta

my copy doesnt play the soundfx it only plays the music
do any of you guys have the same problem?

yeah i kinda figured that they didnt even bother
to make the soundfx because it was just an experiment (beta) game

at least it helped me find one sonic game i needed. Knuckles Chaotics. that is a must have even though its not the game ive been searching for all these years :verysad: kinda wonder how a sonic team beta game got emulated and put out on the mainstream though :confused:

btw haggy thanx for the link!
 
I've ran this game before, It looks like Sonic 2 for some reason and its missing sprites. The picture on that link, show what Sega's 32x game Knuckles Chaotix ended up having implemented. There more stuff on the early sonic games too, like the Sonic3 has a few hidden lv that arent playable but show up on a list when a cheat is entered for level select. I guess sega was slow getting the games ready on time and something like Crackers could never be made public on time.

its missing more than just som spites its missing alot sprites a some physics, if I remember correctly sonic was able to walk on the cieling in that game.
and also the alot of unused/missing sprites and backgrounds are still on the rom
but they never used them in the beta

missing sprites
