This Mod Offers a Lot More to Love About the Legendary Somari Bootleg
Reviewed By: MadZiontist on 13 Nov 2020So glad to see the torch keep being picked up, and this famous hack continuing to be finely polished. The new Sonic title screen alone is something to behold. On top of tuning up the “Somari to Sonic main hack” Terwilf has included a variety of patches alter game behavior aspects as well as those that transform the game into different “variations”. One is an update of “Speeding Hummer”, as well as a couple of “Family Kid” character versions where you can choose either a black or blue suit color. Also here is a “vanilla” Somari update where you play as Somari The Adventurer, like in the original. However I have to admit that I was disappointed that the Somari update had the Sonic The Hedgehog title screen. I was really hoping to see a freshly updated new title screen with the Somari character on it. Hopefully in a future update. Regardless of that nitpick I was extremely pleased with this set of hacks and look forward to seeing what the future holds with this project.
