A team of fans are making their own version of Sonic the Hedgehog called the Sonic Fan Remix. They've just released a demo, and it's incredible.

It's fast, too. The themed levels have been designed to give you those out of control pinball moments when Sonic plunges head first into a springboard at full speed, and is catapulted across the level, pinging from spring to spring, collecting rings and ploughing through enemies. You'll be conquering loop-the-loops, dodging killer whales and smashing through checkpoints at barely controllable speeds. In many ways, it's an experience closer to the original Sonic games than many of the recent official sequels, a retro rollercoaster steeped in modern graphical polish.

Also, it's a rare chance to play Sonic on your PC. You can download the trial and play it for yourself at Sonic Fan Remix .
