Once Sonic 3 AIR sees that the purchased ROM is available in the local directory, it will proceed to run the game with all the new bells and whistles.Īside from the required ownership of the game, what sets Sonic 3 AIR apart from other ROM hacks is a widescreen aspect ratio, various gameplay and visual tweaks (such as CRT scanlines and background blurring), a robust time attack mode and most importantly, mod support. While SEGA has not been known to pursue fans for their modding projects, Eukaryot is further able to avoid any potential legal hurdles by requiring the player to have purchased a copy of Sonic 3 & Knuckles from Steam and have it in their library. Sonic 3 AIR (Angel Island Revisited) is an ambitious project that takes the source code of the Steam port and reconfigures it into an enhanced experience akin to the mobile ports of Sonic 1, 2 and CD by Christian Whitehead. This changed when one talented programmer by the name of Eukaryot took it upon himself to provide what may be the definitive version of Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and unlike other mods and ROM hacks, this one requires you to legally own the game! Incidentally, this same game is also the most requested game to get a remaster, yet has received none of the love that Sonic 1 or Sonic 2 has gotten in recent years. If you asked the average Sonic fan what the best Sonic game of all time was, chances are Sonic 3 (& Knuckles) would frequently be the top pick.
