Sonic - The Lost Land is a hack of Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Mega Drive by Shadow Fire. The game is comprised of 7 levels, each filled with traps and badniks intent on bringing down Sonic once and for all. There is also a special realm consisting of 6 Chaos Emeralds. If you have collected at least 50 rings by the time you finish the level, you will see a giant ring. Jump into it to be taken to the secret realm. A dynamic palette system is set up , making each act load its own palette (à la Knuckles' Chaotix), as well as a dynamic music system, allowing each act to load its own music.

Team Overload presents, Sonic 1 - Warped World! This hack has undergone a quite a lot of changes since last year, including brand new level layouts, a lot of new music, and some other really cool features that you'll see in game! This year's entry only has 3 playable levels so far, but after completing the demo, you will gain access to the level select, where you can see what is in store for future releases!Story:After the events of Sonic 3 and Knuckles, Sonic lands back on Mobius. But because of his extended use of Super Sonic, he has lost his abilities. The Tornado lands on an unknown area so Sonic goes and explores. He comes across a whole lot of badniks and thinks straight away that Eggman had crashed there. Eggman, who barely made it, set up shop in an abandoned factory and built "Robotic Empire". Sonic, on the other side of Chaos Island, needs to make it through the six zones to destroy the Chaos Extraction Engine in Robotic Empire, and regain some of his lost abilities!Credits:A-S-H - Project leader, main music, main art, level layouts for POZ1, CSZ1, HTZ1FireRat - Sound TestKOOL-ZPOT - Super Peel-OutCaveQuest - POZ3 level layoutMopeDude - HTZ2 level layoutLordXernom - Original Level Select musicEduardo Knux - Labyrinth (8-Bit) music portTeam Overload - Beta-testing, help, suggestions and supportSSRG and Sonic Retro - Various guides and general help

Sonic 1 Alt is a layout hack of Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Mega Drive by Ell678. It is notable for sporting barely any ASM edits, with the main focus being on the level layouts. Initial response to the new layouts was positive, though the altered palettes were less well received and so have been reverted for the next release.
