For buisness/moneymaking, sonic, Any games that could have been great classics, and also Sega pretty much as well have admited that they made 3 console's in a row (CD, 32X, SATURN) that beside's sales wise(sort of), Failed to go against Nintendo and sony and that the console wasn't as good as the genesis...before he left sega he might as well have said that the company sucked besides the Genesis, Dreamcast, and sonic. Well thats in my opinion anyway
Also the sonic pool engine? isn't that the gameplay engine used in "sonic world" in the sonic jam game and also the sonic gameplay engine in nights into dreams:christmas edition? It's a flawless engine and It looks like it controls perfectly with the exception of sonic's speed, but I would have perfered the fisheye engine because of how it interesting it was to look at! Sonic pool was great dont get me wrong but it was just to...basic...How does this not catch your eye?!

the music is some of the most godlike things I've heard from a game ever! Sonic games usually always have great music but this...good god! I managed to find the entire song in the last link but it's in low quality and it's not released in the Music pack that Chriss senn released. Here's the MP3 used in the vid if your interested. (low quality though)

Looking at what this game could have done to the saturn and SEGA let alone just sonic makes me feel sad...Think about It definitely wouldn't have HURTED sonic's reputation or made it worse....The game is just so unique and weird that the more and more I see It the more I wish I was the one who payed 2500$ at the auction for the PC beta of the game back in the early 00's. There was also an ebay auction for the same disc not to long ago but I think the bidding time is done and even if it isn't I can't seem to find it...If Sega died and they took sonic with them though and I looked at this vid though I would probably cry instead....Also I heard rumors that sonic adventure 1 was going to be released on the Saturn but that's probably all false rumors.
Nowadays Im just glad to know sonic and sega are still alive AND NO MATTER what happens to them I will always be a fan of Sega from the SG-1000 to the year they die! SEGA FOR AGES
Sonic Adventure, just like Shenmue, was being planned for the Saturn, however both games were moved over to the Dreamcast so that they could take advantage of the DC's vastly improved capabilities. The 3D sections in Sonic Jam are part of the game engine that would have powered the Saturn version of Sonic Adventure.
