Out of This World
1993
The version of Out of This World (Another World) released for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive was ported by Interplay. This version, like the SNES port, was made more difficult, including more enemies, since it was normal for console games to be difficult in order to take longer to beat. It runs faster than the SNES port, but has less colors. A similar version would later be released for the Sega CD, with a new soundtrack, bundled alongside its sequel, Heart of the Alien.The Pirates of Dark Water
1994
Based on the cartoon by the same name, The Pirates of Dark Water is a side scrolling hack'n slash platformer with a few adventure elements. You take control of either Ren, Ioz or Tula who can jump, climb, attack and throw enemies. In most levels you are required to find keys to unlock doors and talk to NPCs who will give you hints. You will also find numerous useful items including throwing weapons, food to replenish your health, potions that have different effects such as temporary invincibility, money that is needed to pay certain NPCs and melons that can be fed to Niddler who will take you back to the map screen in turn.Foxy Land

Sonic Debut
2021
Sonic Debut is a ROM hack of the original Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Genesis. The project reimagines the game by integrating prototype and concept material from Sonic's early development rather than aiming for a retail-accurate remake. It features significant mechanical shifts, such as replacing the traditional ring-based health system with a Hit Point (HP) counter and requiring a double-tap of the jump button to enter a rolling state.Sonic 2: Chaos Adventure

This hack overhauls the game with new mechanics, power-ups, level designs, and a new story.Sonic 1: Point & Click Edition
2020
In this unique, gimmick-based ROM Hack of Sonic The Hedgehog, you can use your mouse pointer to interact with objects in a variety of ways. Hovering over Rings to magnetize them to Sonic, picking up & throwing monitors to break them apart, & clicking on springs to bounce the cursor away are just a few ways you can interact with the world around you. Be careful though, not everything you mouse over or click will be so friendly to you.Sonic 1 Delta

Sonic 1 Delta
2020
Sonic 1 Delta is a ROM hack of the original Sonic the Hedgehog (1991) for the Sega Genesis. The project’s primary objective is to create a "unified" 16-bit adventure by integrating various development concepts, prototype materials, and beta elements that were scrapped from the original game's retail release.Sonic The Hedgehog 2: Archives
“Sonic The Hedgehog 2: Archives” is ‘another beta hack’ that seeks to bring back cut content from the game's Prototypes, revitalize the game's concept and release levels and badniks, and fully recreate the early concept of the time-travel story. Along with this hack improves both the prototype content and the final content by adding new animations, badnik and character shots, level art and backgrounds, new music, and more.Donnie the Chao

Crat Strat's Sonic 1 Hack
2016
Crat Strat's Sonic 1 Hack is a ROM hack of the original Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Genesis, the hack is a technical "troll" designed to be as bizarre and nonsensical as possible. It features a completely broken and chaotic presentation where levels are filled with random, non-functional objects, ear-piercingly distorted music, and a "Crat Strat" character that is a poorly drawn, jittery version of Sonic.
