Sonic Endless

⚠️TRIGGER WARNING⚠️

I am what you call a very loyal gamer towards the classic franchises such as Pokemon, Mario, Zelda, and especially Sonic, while many modern gamers scorn at such titles; in favor of more graphic and violent games such as Call of Duty and Dark Souls.

Ive always been pretty stuck to childhood classics.

As a huge Sonic fan, I look forward to playing every new release good or bad, despite the reviews of the public who usually dub a Sonic game terrible, because it did not meet up to their expectations.

I usually had little expectation to save any potential disappointment upon going into a new title and liked the games for what they are worth, however I feel that I can agree with some people that the franchise should cease and move on, and not just because I feel it's lacking, not at all, It is because of something I witnessed and came to understand two days ago.

I was sitting at my laptop adjusting my Yu-Gi-Oh cards for a club I go to on monday's whilst watching a few videos on Youtube. Until I came across the official teaser for Sonic Boom: Fire and Ice.

While I played Shattered Crystal and was up to speed on the cartoon. I had little knowledge on the Wii U version due to lacking such a console, only the opinions of others filled me in, telling me that the game was worse than Sonic 2006,

I couldn't help but feel people were over exaggerating as usual, after all I am a part of the fanbase and know how my "kin" act.

Feeling intrigued by the teaser I wanted to play a Sonic game, since it's been quite a while due to my more busy life, I hardly ever get to play games nowadays and went to get a Genesis emulator and Rom of the original game, while I was able to get the emulator easy getting a rom for the original Sonic 1 was a task in itself due to many rom sites I went too were shut down due to copyright infringement which is a growing issue to play games at present.

Site after site I eventually began to become frustrated cursing under my breath until I soon came across a site that seemed a bit shady.

Knowing full well about malware and viruses from sites like this I hesitated until I came to acknowledge that my Anti Virus would handle any attempts of infection, I clicked the site...

Nothing wrong so far, my Anti Virus didn't notify me and instantly block the site so I shrugged it off and attempted to download the rom, same result as my Antivirus did not reject the download "It's probably safe" I thought to myself as I extracted the file and started up my emulator.

The game started up normally with the usual Sega logo and Sonic team text, When it reached the Title screen no music played, "A glitch" I thought whilst dreading the idea I would need to try to find a better working rom until Sonic appeared out of the title ring, his expression wasn't the usual smug and cocky persona he usually showed.. No it was depressed and lacking in energy.

I got angry and cursed loudly at the fact I got a hack instead of the original game but I swallowed my pride and decided to try it out, hoping for a good trade off.

As I pressed start the game instantly threw me into the the first level with the title card saying "No More".."No more what?" I asked myself as the title card moved revealing the stage and to my surprise I saw Green Hill Zone in a different light.

Green Hill Zone was dead and lifeless, No it wasn't filled with blood or gore like some crappy ghost story, It was lifeless in a sense that nothing or nobody was living there to the point the hill was abandoned, the level was silent and lacked any BGM period.

I drew my gaze to Sonic.

Sonic himself stood quietly looking at the ground almost like he didn't have any vigor, just like in the title screen, I noted how bizarre this hack was and proceeded to move Sonic realising he didn't pick up any speed and only hobbled forward, at that point i noticed i was on zero lives which was impossible normally because the original Sonic game was one of those early games that would end if your life counter hit zero, instead of giving you one last chance.
