Sonic the Hedgehog has made its way onto the ZX Spectrum Next in an exciting new release titled Sonic Spectrum Next, developed by prominent retro community creator dave18. The game is a direct conversion of the classic Sega Master System (SMS) version. This ambitious port follows hot on the heels of the developer’s prior game, where they successfully translated the brilliant Sega Master System shooter Astro Warrior over to the advanced FPGA architecture of the Next. To coincide with this exciting news story, Saberman has done a gameplay video.
Developer dave18 shared that this new venture was born out of the technical wisdom gained from their previous port in which he states “My new project, following on from what I learned letting Astro Warrior from the SMS to the Spectrum Next, I thought I’d try my luck with Sonic.” Because the Sega Master System and the ZX Spectrum Next share architectural similarities, developers are finding innovative ways to bridge the gap between these two systems.
