Game Description:
Sonic the Hedgehog is a platforming action video game. Developed by Sonic Team in 1991, the blue blur himself would become one of gaming's universal icons, and became the first series to stand as a serious rival to Nintendo's Mario series, flaming the legendary console wars.

A classic 2-D side-scrolling platformer, you control Sonic, a blue-colored hedgehog that runs pretty darn fast across the stages (zones as they are called in the game). Scattered throughout the zones are golden rings that Sonic can collect, which allows him to not only take damage, but allow access to special stages. If completed, the special stage will grant Sonic one of six Chaos Emeralds.

Dr. Ivo Robotnik, an evil genius, realizes the power of the Chaos Emeralds, and wants them for himself. As such, Robotnik traps the innocent woodland creatures of South Island. In response, Sonic attempts to free the creatures and collect the emeralds for himself in order to stop Robotnik's plans.
Hack Description:
This is a hack of Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Genesis. It places the main character at the end of the level with the objective to work their way through to the beginning. Levels take on a different feeling as the player must work their way left to the start of the levels. Levels have been redesigned to allow backtracking.

The patch is in xdelta format due to shifted data resulting in IPS patches containing original code. The ROM should be in BIN format.
