Sonic ERaZor wins first place at SAGE 2012 hacking contest

The annual Sonic Amateur Games Expo (SAGE) has shown off some stellar Sonic related fan-projects this year including LakeFeperd’s Sonic After the Sequel. In addition to this the results of SAGE’s annual Sonic Hacking Contest have been announced, with selbi’s Sonic ERaZor, a intense Sonic 1 hack to say the least, nabbing first place as decided by the contest’s judges. First place for the community voted favourite was awarded to both flamewing’s Sonic Classic Heroes as well as Sonic Generations Unleashed PC – Dragon Road Demo by DarioFF, Chimera and TwilightZoney, a mod that we’ve reported on in the past.

Many other awards were given out and congratulations to all of those who participated. Fan-games and hacks such as these are what keeps the Sonic community so fresh and exciting. See the full list of awards after the jump, with a list of hacks for download found here.
