An early prototype of an unreleased Mega Drive RTS game developed by SEGA Technical Institute has now been preserved thanks to the efforts of STI artist Craig Stitt and the Hidden Palace team.

Out of the Vortex - Unreleased Sega Mega Drive game!

Presenting, the long lost “Out of the Vortex” for the Sega Mega Drive. This one was made possible by none other than Pipozor himself, one of the developers who worked on this never-before-seen, almost completed game for the Sega Mega Drive! Now presented for the first time in a more complete form, it’s time to tell the tale of a game that was once never seen or heard of outside of those select few who had a chance to work on this almost complete game.

I like to think there's a prophecy about a mystical Blue Blur with mighty powers that will crush foes on Sonic's world. Maybe info about this prophecy is located in the owl temple.

Like the Hidden Palace Zone mural in Sonic 3 and Knuckles? I wouldn't be surprised if they made such a reference while in the owl temple.

The prophecy idea is an interesting one. People do see something special in Sonic, and it would make sense that his powers would have him labelled as a hero.

But I think any suggestion of a prophecy would need to be handled carefully. It shouldn't be so specific that it spoils the story, but if it's too vague, then there's not much point in having a prophecy in the first place.

It might be a nice idea to use the suggestion of a greater destiny to motivate Sonic when he's feeling discouraged. Like a self-fulfilling prophecy, in a way.

"The mural says I can do it, so I'm gonna do it!"
