Sonic Amateur Games Expo (SAGE) - Highlights

I‘m a bit surprised that there doesn’t seem to be any SAGE talk in the thread so here's a place where people can post interesting looking games. I know @“exodus”#3 has posted a few good ones on Twitter.

Bit of context on [SAGE '21](https://sagexpo.org/):

The Sonic Amateur Games Expo, or SAGE for short, is a community-driven event for both fan-made and original projects alike. Its goal is to help promote and showcase people‘s creations in an easy and free way as well as give developers a deadline to aim for. With 21 years of history behind SAGE, it’s one of the largest virtual indie (and fan) games expos in the world, brought to you solely by the passion we have for the community and their work.

Some to get started:

[Power Bomberman](https://sonicfangameshq.com/forums/showcase/power-bomberman-0-7-6c.1133/) - Saturn-style Bomberman with netplay

[Shantae & Asha: Dream Fantasia](https://www.sonicfangameshq.com/forums/showcase/shantae-asha-dream-fantasia.229/) - 'a crossover featuring Asha from the 1994 Sega Genesis classic; Monster World IV and Shantae from the 2002 Game Boy Color classic; Shantae'

Couple of my favorite submissions this year:

[Sonic Triple Trouble 16 bit](https://sonicfangameshq.com/forums/showcase/sonic-triple-trouble-16-bit.1130/) - Genesis style remake of Sonic Triple Trouble for the Game Gear. Solid project with good graphics and game play!

[Caverns of the Molten
God](https://sonicfangameshq.com/forums/showcase/caverns-of-the-molten-god-sage-2021-demo.1056/) - A mashup of Metroid and Joust. Flap around as a weird ostrich knight and explore some creepy areas. Fun idea that I'm surprised hasnt been done yet!

@“hellomrkearns”#p131384 hhhhwhat!? that‘s most curious. I feel like they added frames for the variable geos ladies. or maybe every character is redrawn? asuka looks different. Also somehow last year I missed the "sonic in mario’s mind" thing. very important news.

@“exodus”#p131386 It's incredible how ambitious some of these are. @Rlan has been posting tons on Sonic The Hedgeblog, and you can check out the official website for more.
