Pleasingly, the recent Steam release of Freedom Planet strikes a virtuous balance. In retrospect, the publisher spent the succeeding decades trying to duplicate its Sonic-era glory, an endeavor as awkward as a middle-aged man trying to rekindle his high-school swagger. From Sonic Team’s eponymous series, as well as their work on Ristar, to Treasure’s string of stirring hits- Gunstar Heroes, Dynamite Headdy, Alien Soldier and Light Crusader, players saw a succession of truly superlative titles.Īnd while the following generation’s shift to polygon-pushing hardware produced a number of memorable games, few of these would match the charm and effervescent vitality demonstrated by SEGA’s sixteen-bit output. BUT! I downloaded the most interesting versions and I still have them.There’s a very good reason why the Genesis/Mega Drive is so revered by retro gamers: the console played host to several prodigious programing teams.

These versions were also eliminated while Freedom planet was being updated, of course, talking about almost 4 years. As the character designs and track, soundtracks, there is still the monitor (power up) speed, harsh graphic changes Etc. This version showed a much less original freedom planet, with Rings instead of lives, monitors of invincibility and speed, Sonic-Like designs, eggman robots and without forgetting to mention that Eggman was the final boss instead of Brevon.Īs I mentioned, this version never went on the air and every record was deleted more than a message from the official website of freedom planet.īut, if many versions came out since when it was becoming independent, where they still appreciate several things very different to what the game is now.

There was a demo version of the game that unfortunately was never released on air, and the video that showed it was also eliminated. The roots of Freedom Planet.Īs many will know, Freedom Planet was initially a FanMade game for Sonic The Hedgehog series. I guess this 'secret' is what most people know.
