Today I have 3 fan made Sonic the Hedgehog platformer games. They are all great games and are definite must downloads if you like Sonic.
Sonic the Hedgehog: Time Attacked
Sonic The Hedgehog: Time Attacked is a fan game made by Jamie Bailey for Microsoft Windows; this is Jamie's second major Sonic-releated fangame. Time Attacked has been compared to commercial games released by Sega because of the game's detailed original graphics and the author's vast knowledge of Clickteam based programming.Storyline
Dr. Eggman has invented a time machine and uses it to go back in time to defeat Sonic following a failed attempt. Eggman succeeds and begins to create a paradox, causing the present-time Sonic to fade. Once he realizes what's going on with him, he sets off to stop Eggman before he completes the paradox and changes made in time are permanent.Gameplay
Since Time Attack is a Multimedia Fusion based game, it utilizes its control scheme of four button directions and two fire buttons. The controls are "Fire 1" to jump and "Fire 2" to perform a spin dash. The way the game is played is the same as most other Sonic 2D games. Sonic must run to the goal (in this game, it's a large ring), while collecting rings to protect himself from enemy attacks. Once attacked, Sonic drops all the rings he's collected and can pick up some of the ones he dropped. Sonic loses one life if he is attacked by an enemy and has no rings, touches certain objects, or falls off the playing field.There are also some custom abilities Sonic can do in Time Attacked. Unlike Game Boy Advance based Sonic games, Sonic can grind rails without having to worry about not landing back on them after he jumps. As long as the player holds the dash button, he can grind on a rail. One unique feature is the "high spring" manuver. Sonic can jump from a spring higher than normal if the player holds the jump button when Sonic lands on a spring. Sonic can also perform a Spring Slash by rolling in mid air after contact with a spring.
A save feature is also available in the game, which saves the player's progress after completing an act or cutscene.
Time Attacked introduces a new gameplay element, called "Link". Link is a point counter which increases by one "link point" when you destroy an enemy, collect rings or power-ups, or break through structures. When the Link counter is activated, one has a very limited amount of time to accumulate as many link points as possible.
List of zones
Below are a list of zones featured in the main storyline of Time Attacked, including a description of them. There are other zones in the game which can be unlocked by completing certain tasks.Slide City - A city full of white skyscrapers and rails. Characters representing members of the Sonic The Hedgehog fan community are found all over.
Lightspeed Park - An amusement park, with dark purple cylinder shaped buildings lined with spiraling yellow platforms in the background. This stage features many colored lights and giant ferris wheels. The signs in the background say "Speed Hacker" and "Extreme" in leet speak.
Undisturbed Paradise - The common "Green Hill" zone, with palm trees and a picturesque coast to look at.
Crystal Caverns - An underwater mine filled with yellow crystals and underwater tubes.
Metal Hell - A red industrial park which is powered by lava. Has all the factory style platforms including Yellow and black stripes, fences and rails.
Time Base - Eggman's base. A plaster-white interior similar to Metal Hell, but full of buzzsaws and fatal electric currents.

Ultimate Flash Sonic
In this two level Sonic game, the object is to make it to the exit while grabbing as many gold rings as you can along the way. As you can expect there are many obsticles such as crabs, spikes and bees. Some of these obsticles cause you to loose all your gold rings, so you must gather them all up again. At the end of each Act is a boss. You can choose from one of four characters to play:Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Cream, with 2 more to unlock. In this game there are passwords and cheats. There are two modes of play, Main Game and Time Trial.Everything about this game is excellent: animations, sound and graphics. The only sad thing it: It is to short.
Controls:
left/right arrow keys = Move
Space = Jump
Enter = PauseTo perform a spin dash: hold down arrow, press space bar, release down arrow. There are two modes to play: Main game and Time trial. The game includes passwords and cheat modes.

Neo Sonic Universe
Neo Sonic Universe is actually two games in one: it includes a "normal" mode, similar to the classic Sonic games, in which you collect rings, kill badniks, defeat bosses and clear stages; and a battle mode, in which you fight against another character (human or CPU).The normal mode features different levels with a boss to defeat upon level completion. You can play as any one of 5 characters: Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, or Shadow. Each has its own special moves, but you must beat the game as Sonic first before the other characters are unlocked. The controls are simple--use the arrow keys to move and use CTRL to jump. There are few good Sonic remakes online, but this is definitely one of them. It stays true to the original and is void of any big glitches that most other Sonic games are riddled with.
The battle mode is a 2D fighting game with different levels to play on, each with its own special effects. You can play an arcade battle, in which you battle against each character and clear levels, or a VS game, in which you fight against the computer or another player. A big plus is that the controls are configurable and you can also use a joystick in this mode. There are two bars for your player--one shows HP and the other shows Mana Points. Mana points are used for for magical attacks, which are activated by using a specific sequence of keys, and are different for each character. The battle mode is an excellent addition to this game and will not disappoint.
