Strange Old Sonic Ripoff

Metal Man · 10-24-2008, 06:00 PM

Back in the days before the 32-bit, 3D systems of today, a Taiwanese company saw Sonic and apparently wanted to have a bit of that success for themselves.

So, they made their own system, using the same sort of graphics chip that was in the Sega Genesis, and they made their own mascot. They even made a Sonic-like game: Speedy Dragon. The console was called the Super A'Can.

Unfortunately for them, they were too late, and their console was swamped with the coming of 3D. They had to dismantle their production, hence why you probably have never heard of it before.

With that in mind, I present you the video of this game in action.

What parts of Sonic do you think it rips off? It's quite a weird little game.

What is with Japan's stange obsession of baseball bat slugging superheros/villains?

That looks like a crappy flash game on newgrounds...

Except that's from Taiwan. Quite a few miles between the two.

I have my doubts, but otherwise it's a Sonic/Monster Party Game.

It's not terrible, I do like the baseball bat idea.

Besides, it's got to be better than Sonic and the Black Knight.

Wow, that part when the falling bricks got to be the gayest area in the game, seriously. How the hell are you supposed to pass that if you can't even charge up a spin dash?

^Well, Marble Zone wasn't too much of an issue.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Don't use the word "gay" to describe things like that.

It's rude.

Dude, that doesn't sound like that part is happy at all.

It's much more frustrating then happy.
