ok fair enough, from what i read somewhere else they were working on this back in 2008, does anyone know what the progress of this game is now & is it anywhere near completion?

I did the music.  I haven't heard from Xavier in years, I don't know what happened, maybe Touko knows, I recall them being in contact, but I could be wrong.

how good do the parallaxes looking?

It's just a proof of concept by one person in their spare time. It doesn't have the same variety as the original yet, but does show how it could be done.

ok, thx. it's hard to imagine if never seen any screen or movie ^^"

There are a couple Greenhill zone demos in the medium  res with assets taken straight from the Genesis Sonic. It uses dynamic tiles for parallax. There are CD and rom versions. Whenever this comes up, people usually post the much older using the SMS Sonic sprite.

Thank you Mr Tiger for the info, has anyone got the Cd or rom versions to compare?

It'd be funny if someone did a faithful port of a Sonic stage for SuperGrafx, except made it faster and with less flicker. What would all the "PCE is only 8-bit and can't keep up with Genesis/SNES cuz the cpu" people say? Probably something stupid like "the PCE only has 2 x 8-bit cpus, but the SGX has 3, so it's not the same".

Xavier's sonic was made with huc, this why is a little bit slow,plus is an old version .
I know he has a new version ,with some improvements, but no public release exist .

Impressive either way! 

If he could do that with HuC on his own, imagine what  NEC / Avenue could have done with their team... and then be glad that they didn't...

Hopefully Xavier is doing okay health wise...

That game looks very good and colorful.  Except for the mountains in the background that look like spikes and scare me every time Sonic jumps, I am a fan.

Gameplay obviously needs to be optimized...  however, in the spirit of the unlicensed Sonic ports on other systems (Famicom), perhaps this is the way God intended it.

Lol, I'm glad I'm not the only person who continually thought those mountains looked like spikes.

But yeah, cool tech demo and with more polish I'm sure it would be pretty solid.

I detect a distinct lack of Blast Processing.
