what's even more astounding to me is that this game is older than most of today's existing popular franchises in the game industry. Seriously the ammount of determination and work for this game is just ridicolous. It's propably the oldest Sonic fangame that's still standing to this day. This game is legit older than me by 5 years, it could buy itself a beer since 2016 (or 2019, depends on the country) . I almost feel like this game should geniuenly win some guiness record or something, for the oldest supported fangame in gaming history.

In the end it makes sense with the mine part. The Mesoamerican Desert was a major part in the Gold Rush. And it also has the Grand Canyon (which could reference the Mountain aspect) and stretches of highway (as seen in act 1) and rail systems (as seen in act 2/3). It wouldve been cool to see a secret area with a ufo to represent Roswell. I also like the road runner reference in act 1.

Thank you! Fickle got the maps as they were a developer at the time. There are more maps in the ACZ2 Museum however they are all earlier versions of the same map, and I didn't want to pad things out too much. My general philosophy with the retrospective has been to include every major release and only the final version of each prototype iteration... although aside from ACZ2 Museum the most there is are untextured versions of shown prototypes.

Interesting. Since I started playing this in 2.0 I never knew that Arid Canyon was a level merge of Mine Maze and Rocky Mountain. I did knew about those 2 scrapped levels but I never knew that those 2 were the origins of Arid Canyon

This fangame never needed rtx. It's perfect. I really love the development process too. From how it started to how much it improved.

If I’m being honest, 2.0 and 2.1’s music for this stage feels incomplete. It feels like it starts at the middle of a song rather than at the beginning. Which makes sense, since it ended up becoming the middle of 2.2’s song for this stage.

You know, rocky mountain was actually a super (or hyper idk) level, and the stage in srb2 was probably a callback. World building. Buts that's just a theory. A game theory. Thanks for reading.

Bro, if you wanted 2.0 beta content of ACZ1/ACZ2 (including their respective tunes), you could have just asked. There's a lot of historical content missing from this video, including Sonikku's ACZ2 and ACZ3. Roly Poly Putt is also missing, which is notable as part of its Arid Canyon tune made it BACK into SRB2....but this all originated with the ACZ remix tune from 2.0, and went unused!

They should bring back Mine Maze and Rocky Mountain as totally new zones! This is how the zones should go: Greenflower Zone Techno Hill Zone Deep Sea Zone Mine Maze Zone (At the end of the zone there would be a cutscene where the player goes inside a tunnel that would leads to) Castle Eggman Zone Rocky Mountain Zone (At the end of the zone there would be a cutscene where the player goes to a wood elevator that leads to) Arid Canyon Zone Red Volcano Zone Dark City Grand Eggship Egg Rock Black Core What'd ya think?
