Prototype Watch Sonic 2 Beta in Action With These Old Nickelodeon Shows
Dreadknux posted a story in Games
Who wants to know what Sonic 2 used to look like before it came out on store shelves? I know I certainly do! Well, one way is to read our review of the Sonic 2 Beta, but another way is by watching these cool videos from Nickelodeon TV in the 1990s, where kids were tasked with playing a beta version of Sonic 2 long before the game was finished. The TV game show 'Nick Arcade' allowed contestants to play various computer games in order to win points, and on early 1992 Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was one of them. The challenge was to collect 25 rings within a 30-second time limit - which was quite a hard task for young children, with a game they had never seen before. Take a look at Derek and Gina attempting it below.

Melissa Joan Hart (who also played Sabrina the Teenage Witch) gave the 25-ring challenge a good go as well, but couldn't seem to get past a loop-de-loop (otherwise we're sure she would have completed the task).

Segapede Pitched Prototype FOUND and RELEASED via Hidden Palace
DaBigJ posted a topic in Video Games
Figured this deserved it's own thread (All information posted was taken from the proto's Hidden Palace page, and is essentially an abridged retelling of the page. I'm not involved with the HP team, I'm just an outsider.) This game was pitched by Craig Stitt (a designer who also worked on Spyro and the artist behind Oil Ocean Zone) of Sega Technical Institute in late 1993 and was unfortunately scrapped in 1994. It's prototype, dated 1994 according to the Hidden Palace website, was released just last night and and contains a single level using assets from the scrapped Sonic the Hedgehog 2 "Hidden Palace Zone". Originally, this was supposed to be tied to the Sonic universe, as the main character (Zipp) was one of Dr. Robotnik's creations. This concept was dropped once work began on a playable pitch prototype. While SEGA greenlit the game, it unfortunately became another scrapped project from STI. If you'd like to check the prototype out for yourself and get a bit more in-depth look at the history, check out the Hidden Palace website HERE. -
Just so I'm certain, this site is named after the alternate name for Sonic Crackers, right?
