Was loving the hack, wanna point out when I was fighting one of the bosses?(The devil?) I spindashed and the game gave me an illegal error. I was using Kega Fusion.

This is an amazing hack, and the added Difficulty Selection from the previous SAGE release is a welcome change.

Everything in the game is simply magnificent. I didn't see a problem and I didn't find anything that displeased me. The development team is to be congratulated for always improving this game. When the work is completed we will have an unforgettable game.

I thought this was alright. I don't really love it, but I don't hate it.

This is really, really impressive for a Sonic 3 & Knuckles hack. You guys from Hardline Team are always putting a lot of effort in your projects. Thanks for giving this amazing experience.

The art and music is so damn beutiful.

I ran into an error that crashed the entire game with an error when fighting Astaroth. I use open emu on a Macbook so I'm not entirely if its the emulator's fault or the game's. the error was line111.

a doubt, is this hack a remake of the classic sonic hellfire or is it a continuation?
