: I would really like an official remake that expands on things that got cut
: short... not the kind with a new engine and HD graphics (well, we have HD
: textures already), but something more along the lines of the sonic 2
: mobile port that's mostly the same, but added the long-awaited mysterious
: and legendary hidden palace zone.
: Maybe some stuff was cut for a good reason besides "constraints,"
: like the hounds reportedly not being fun and major hulks being too OP.
: Some tweaks in their behavior would be needed to make it good.
Yannow, I've been thinking about something similar lately. A sort of "remix" of M1 that uses HD-ish textures/enemy graphics, actual terminal pics, different level architecture in parts, etc. Maybe a short, extra level where you actually run into Strauss, sorta (for the purpose of expanding on his MIDA affiliation).
And that transponder-thingy you were supposed to get from Tycho as mentioned in the original outline. Might require more than a couple new terminals, though...
