(Longplay) Sonyc, 1994, Analogy, MSX2+ (READ DESCRIPTION)

This is a longplay of an obscure MSX2+ Sonic the Hedgehog fangame/bootleg known as Sonyc. Because there wasn't a full longplay on RUclips already, I decided to play through the whole game and upload my footage here. The footage will be (noticably) spliced because of two things.
1 - The game has a password system, so I can be free to call it quits for day day and continue tomorrow.
2 - I died so many times, if I kept all the deaths in, the video would be like, double the time.
So, it must've been a tough game, right? Despite it's four zones with three acts and a boss act total, the game get tough rather quickly. It kicked my puny ass quite a bit! Sometimes you'll make guesses into mysterious ravines, only to find out that they're bottomless pits! Sometimes you must spare some Speed Items to make otherwise impossible jumps to get to the next set of gems! Crazy! But this video should help you on where and where not to go!
Speaking of which, you may be thinking: "How do you beat the acts when there's no way of exit?" The answer is that the gems are your only means of progression. Scattered throughout three of the four acts in each zone are gems that you must collect. On Easy Mode, you can collect most of the gems to win an act and proceed to the next. Starting on Palm Beach Act 2 (or was it Act 3?) is where you'll need to grab every gem in the acts for the rest of the game. This makes what was once a fast paced platformer into a more exploritory based one, where speed is used to cross gaps and make backtracking a bit easier. An interesting take on the Sonic formula if I do say so myself. Kinda like an extreme version of finding Chaos Emeralds in 8-Bit Sonic 1 & 2. The bosses are in Act 4 of each zone. Here, you'll have to recognize attacks and find a good pattern to win a fight against the guardians. You'll also have to get a moving start and jump/roll into the bosses' weakpoint to deal damage. After a zone is clear, you'll be taken to a bonus stage. Here, you must collect as much goodies as you can in 60 seconds.
There are many cameos and references in this game. Can you find them all?
Hope you enjoy the (edited) longplay!
And I hope this helps you find all those gems! Happy hunting!

This bootleg is actually good

didn't know the MSX could handle CD audio

It's not really CD audio, but rather a highly advanced soundchip. Moonsound was what I think it was called...
