This appeared out of nowhere. This is by Christian Whitehead, who was behind the excellent port of Sonic CD to all formats last year (which added 16:9 widescreen, play as Tails, both soundtracks and more). It was a perfect example of how a retro re-release should be handled.
This is pretty much the same deal, albeit arguably significant given how many ports of Sonic 1 already exist. Still, this is a massive upgrade over the mediocre emulations that already exist. The game runs in widescreen at 60fps, adds a spin dash as well as the ability to play as Tails and Knuckles, crystal clear remastering of the soundtrack, time attack mode, save states and achievements.
There's less to see here because everybody has played this game to death, but it's the most perfect port of the game you could ask for. Here's hoping it's released for formats other than smartphones.
