I've played a few Sonic fan games in my day, and to be perfectly honest with you, I tend to find them all just okay. There are some made by some talented people, but they all typically pale in comparison to the actual Sega Genesis games. This is a fan remake of Sonic Triple Trouble originally for the Sega Game Gear, remade in the style of the more famous Genesis entries. This game is phenomenal. It could've been made at the time, or even released today by Sega. I have never been so impressed by any fan game as much as this. The music is remixed in a fantastic style, the physics are all accurate, the level design is very well done (I kept bracing myself for some of the bullshit Sonic has pulled in recent years, but it never happened). I'm going to even go so far as to say that it might even be a better game than Sonic Mania, or at the very least on par with it. I cannot recommend this game enough (can't beat free), and as far as I'm concerned, it's now up there with the original Sonic entries and Mania as canon 2D games.
