Featured Hoaxes

What's this section about?
Basically, this is a page to display some of, what I thought, were more noteworthy hoaxes submitted to myself. A sort of "Top Ten" if you will (although the number varies ^_^).

Who's eligable?
Anyone who's every submitted a hoax, that includes myself. However, I realize I am obviously favored a little toward myself, so I'll keep selections to a minimum. I won't use this section to 'advertise' my latest hoax.

Why didn't you pick my hoax(es)?
Sorry, I like most of the hoaxes here, but it would be pointless just to relist them all. These are a select few I really enjoyed, but remember, it's solely my opinion, I'm not saying a hoax is bad just because I didn't pick it.

And now, on with the list! This edition will be special, 42 hoaxes, if my count is correct, because I'll be covering all of the old hoaxes as well. This section will be split up into ten hoaxes a page.

Pretty darned good for what he had, IMHO.

Why it won:
A very good recreation of the famous S2 Prerelease pics. The rhinos were the closest substitution (as some say, a little too close...) and the BG wasn't available, but otherwise a great effort. (Original picture for comparison.)
Hidden Palace Zone? Pshaw! Sonic and Tails went fighter way beforehand! ^_^

Why it won:
An original attempt at a battle mode of Sonic 2. ^_^ I've always liked the idea, so liking the hoax was an obvious step. ;>
Despite the warriors' valiant efforts, that night, the city burned. . .

Why it won:
Ah. I hope if I ever made a contribution to Sonic hoaxdom (is that a word? O_o), this was it. Super Sonic (S2), Super Tails (S3), and Knuckles in his "spiffy sprite" (I can't believe someone submitted this sprite as a Fake Hoax to Simon. Come _on_, you see it every time you Super!), all battle the Sonic monster. My only regret? I stupidly clipped the Sonic off of the title screen, rather than using the perfectly clear frame right before it. X_X *facefaults*
I think this is only Dust Hill one I picked...
Author: Simon WaiDate: 1/28/99
Why it won:
Let's see, 1. A good, and early, Dust Hill Hoax. 2. It represents this page author's opinion, at least partially. 3. Bonus points for being an early Sonic CD hoax, a game decidedly harder to clip sprites out of.
Gives the zone a whole new perspecive, ne?
Author: Simon WaiDate: 1/28/99
Why it won:
Why not? It was one of Simon's first "beta" recreations, and frankly, one of the best. I really like the coloring and details of the hoax.
It's even from the same game! ^_^
Author: Kulock's SpriteKulockDate: 1/26/99
Why it won:
I'm not sure why, but I've always liked the hoax. The situation worked perfectly (the gamesprite even had the right shading for the situation), and I just think it's more interesting than the S1 finger wagging. But what do I know. ^_^
The lives counter is still long...
Author: SecManDate: 1/1/99
Why it won:
Very original for it's time, Robotnik faces Green Hill's boss, Sonic (S3) in the Eggomatic! Except for the accidental compression (unintended saving as JPG with no backups), very detailed.
C'mon, how many Crackers hoaxes do you see with anything other than 'Time Attack'?
Author: SecManDate: 1/1/99
Why it won:
Still one of the, if not in fact, the most thorough Sonic Crackers hoaxes ever. Sonic and Tails face off against Robotnik in the "end" of the first Zone, with counters redone to replicate those of Knuckles Chaotix. The sheer amount of work alone is impressive. ^_^
SonicmaybeIshouldflyarrrrrrgggggggghhhh!
Author: NetRaptorDate: 12/22/98
Why it won:
One of the early hoax series, "What if Sonic went Bad?", this installment was quite funny, and probably led a few other artists to do more humerous hoaxes. ^_^
It's still pretty darned good, ne?
Author: Kulock's SpriteKulockDate: 12/21/98
Why it won:
You have to honor the beginning, right? ^_^ This was my first hoax, and I still like it, I didn't cheapen out and do a three second slap job, I compared with an unedited pic and added the clouds back in manually. ^_^ Plus the Sonic 2 art is still a little better. ;]
