Lately, I've been drifting back to the modding and ROM hacking scenes, just to see what's going on. I stumbled across some semi-decent Sonic ROM hacks - one of Sonic 2 where Sonic is now Shadow, and Tails is a Chao. The Shadow sprites used are pretty good! The Chao is good as well, aside from the times it doesn't have a suitable replacement and switches to a blue Tails on certain frames...
I also found a version of Sonic 1 where you played as Amy instead. I liked it aside from one problem - most of the game now had a fairly horrific pallet set. The lava is now yellow, the sky is often pink and I weep at the awful colours.
That aside, it still plays as well as normal Sonic 1.
I do recommend looking around at ROM hacks. There are a lot of terrible ones (which at the very least will amuse for a while) but hidden among the unfinished and the terrible there are some real gems.
