It seems I remember seeing something on it, I may be imagining it tho.  But, I do believe it had been done, but it was not a very good port, or whatever you'd call it.

And in case someone has issues converting the files to use with the CUE....Grab this.  https://www.dropbox.com/s/cjezwogvmsurrmg/Sonic%20PCE.rar  Already converted and CUE file edited for you.

I'm going to take a look at this in a bit.

Thanks guy for your help, I will give this a try when i get in. Is this just a demo or did they manage to port the whole game in the end?

No, its only like the first stage, and it doesnt end.  Basically you can reach the end, but it doesnt roll over to the 2nd stage.

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.

ok Ive played it today & it is a little sluggish on the jumps also you can't finish the level without collecting the 2 emeralds, but with that being said I think with a little tweaking this would make a great port to the system.

Has anyone got any process news on this game?

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.
