Sonic the Hedgehog auf der Amstrad-Konsole
Das Projekt hat 2018 begonnen und sieben Jahre gedauert. Im Oktober 2025 war es fertig, und Sonic GX erschien als Cartridge für die Amstrad GX-4000 und die Plus-Maschinen, mit einer Anleitung und einer technischen Präsentation daneben.
Es lohnt sich, klar zu benennen, was eine kleine Gruppe hier geleistet hat. Cédric „CeD“ Quetier hat die Grafik umgesetzt, Julien „Targhan“ Névo den Ton, Richard „TotO“ Gatineau hat sich um Gestaltung und Unterstützung gekümmert, „Slype“ hat die Anleitung geschrieben, und Arnaud „norecess464“ Storq — ich — habe den Code geschrieben und die Levels entworfen. Sieben Jahre Interesse, Unterstützung und Zuspruch von Leuten, die zugeschaut haben, haben das Ganze in Bewegung gehalten; das ist keine Höflichkeitsfloskel, sondern der Grund, warum es das Spiel gibt.
Im Speedrun lässt sich das Spiel in etwa zehn Minuten durchspielen. Gut abzuschneiden ist eine andere Sache: Die Chaos Emeralds sind über die Levels verteilt versteckt, und sie alle zu finden ist das eigentliche Spiel.
Bildschirmfotos
Sieben Bilder in der Reihenfolge, in der das Spiel sie zeigt, vom Condense-Vorspann bis zur ersten Spezialstufe. Jedes davon öffnet sich in voller Größe.
Die Anleitung und die technische Präsentation
Beide Dokumente, die dem Cartridge-Archiv beilagen, lassen sich hier lesen: die Anleitung auf 20 Seiten und die technische Präsentation auf 100, die darlegt, wie das Spiel auf die Maschine gebracht wurde. Jede Seite lässt sich in voller Größe öffnen; die Originale gibt es vollständig zum Herunterladen — die Anleitung und die technische Präsentation.

Was man auf YouTube dazu gesagt hat
Dreißig Videos über Sonic GX, auf Englisch, Französisch, Italienisch, Polnisch und Griechisch: Besprechungen, erste Blicke, Longplays und Aufnahmen von echter Hardware. Meine eigenen Favoriten kommen zuerst, dann der Rest danach, wie viele sie gesehen haben. Jedes Vorschaubild öffnet das Video auf YouTube.

Vorschauen aus der Entwicklung
Sieben Jahre sind eine lange Zeit, um im Stillen zu arbeiten, deshalb wurde das Spiel unterwegs immer wieder gezeigt. Diese drei Aufnahmen sind das, was veröffentlicht wurde, während es noch gebaut wurde — die Daten sagen, wann jede vorgestellt wurde, nicht wann das Spiel fertig war.
Der Reihe nach angesehen, sind sie das Ankommen des Spiels: ein erster Blick, dann die Special Stage, dann eine Fassung nahe an dem, was ausgeliefert wurde.

I haven’t seen this version in real yet. However, I’ve been following the development of the GX-4000 on your YouTube channel. What can I say? The screenshots and the technical aspects are simply insane!
— MrVainSCL, 2025-11-01 · rulez
OMG ! Congratulations to all the team ! Arnaud, Ced, Targhan, Nice to see you again ay bnd coding party 5.
— ast, 2025-11-01 · rulez
Without a doubt, a new milestone in the history of GX4000 Games - Congratulations to the team!

This made my weekend. And the next.
— Gryzor, 2025-11-01 · rulez
Finally it’s out! I tested only little bit on emulator and the controls seemed floaty but maybe it’s the emulator which also stutters for other reasons now. I will very soon try it on my GX4000.
— Optimus, 2025-11-01 · rulez
Congratulations on this achievement! The work done on this game is colossal! Well done to the entire team for this exceptional work. This game undoubtedly marks a new milestone in game production on the CPC.

Great work, looks amazing!
— micdune, 2025-11-01 · rulez
Wow! Looks really smooth. Sonic is kind of the benchmark when it comes to 2d platform engines with its fast scrolling and angular platforms
— rloaderro, 2025-11-01 · rulez
Great job! The graphics, the music, the gameplay, and all of it in overscan. Incredible.

Amazing work! Congratulations to the whole team. I’ve never played Sonic, but I’d say it feels just like the SEGA console version. Still, I have a nephew who’s a huge Sonic fan, and I’m going to let him play it to see what he thinks. :)
— Rhino, 2025-11-01 · rulez
Incredible work!!! Well done Arnaud and the team.

Congratulations to everyone involved! This is huuuuge work! As Rhino said for his nephew, my son also turns to be a Sonic fan (for an unknown reason), so assume you guys have a new 4 yo fan :)

Just finished it (with cheat mode ^^). Great game. Great work. Congratz.
— Tronic_GPA, 2025-11-02 · rulez
Just to clarify I was trying to let you know someone was already trying to sell your work on ebay. I am a CPC creator myself and know how frustrating it is when people steal your work to make profit for themselves. Bruno Kulkan and Eric Titan can confirm my identity. I am Phil Sandiford (Yellowbelly) i am creator of Bugs Quest and Xyphoes nightmare. i put the link in so you could possibly take action against them. i am not the ebay seller. sorry for any confusion was trying to help protect your work.
— YBSoftware, 2025-11-02
What an incredible amount of hours and collective effort to make this happen ?! The knowledge gathered + created by NoRecess about the performances of the GX4000 should probably end up in a book. Bravo, it’s obvious how much this project is the result of several YEARS of challenging the GX4000 architecture
— fra, 2025-11-02 · rulez

— toms, 2025-11-02 · rulez
respect !
— med, 2025-11-02 · rulez
Kind of game I didn’t expected on the GX4000 hardware, due to the sprite limitations. Really nice job, it seems very close to other commercial releases (I have to play the Master System version again to check for differences). No Recess for president ! Who can produce new batches of C4CPC or similar card to play this gem on a real CPC ?
— tometjerry, 2025-11-02 · rulez
excellent work i hope to be as good as this one day in the future, although i am getting old
— YBSoftware, 2025-11-02 · rulez
Congratulation to all the team for this release. Perfect GFX, Really nice code, wonderful musics ! As said Tom & Jerry, hope that a new batch of C4CPC will arrive soon.
— Candy, 2025-11-02 · rulez
Well done NoRecess, Ced, Targhan, Toto! the wait was worth it

— Soundy, 2025-11-02 · rulez
Here in Argentina, Amstrad platforms were never popular. In fact, we produced an official PAL-N version of the Commodore 64, and the MSX was a distant second. However, in terms of consoles, the Mega Drive was a massive success here, to the point that unlicensed clones are still manufactured locally today, and consequently, Sonic is quite popular in these parts. And that’s how I discovered this port for the Amstrad Plus. I was completely unfamiliar with this hardware, but I followed the development. It looks not only incredible, but the sheer number of effects without any slowdown is remarkable. My applause to whoever made this, and I hope it opens the door to porting it to other systems of the era.
— JasonBlueX, 2025-11-03
Truly amazing game, first time a game show the true amstrad + potential !.

— Hwikaa, 2025-11-03 · rulez
Impressive work, very polished and fun to play ! And the whole thing in overscan, this is wizardry. Thanks also for sharing the presentation, I had not noticed the optimizations on the sprite updates, really interesting read. Bravo !
— kezax, 2025-11-03 · rulez
The most polished game ever seen on the Plus machine; congrats to the whole team !
— Kris, 2025-11-03 · rulez
Amazing work! I played it a lot on Megadrive when I was a child, and I had just as much fun testing it at Benediction Coding Party #5… Everything is excellent: code, graphics, music. Well done to the whole team!

geil
— SiR, 2025-11-05 · rulez
Succeeding in making us forget that we are playing on an Amstrad PLUS is imho a sign of great success for a game or demo. No doubt that this game will go down in history! Well done again to the whole team for seeing this project through to completion, after 7 years! Thank you also for the official release and presentation at BND#5.

Very impressive showcase for the Amstrad GX4000. Even more impressive is that it’s a full game. Making a cool tech demo with limited content is no small feat, but making a fully polished game takes 20x as much time.
