Sonic X-treme

Portion used

A frame from the game, shown in its entirety.

Low resolution?

The image is of a reduced resolution from the 704x224 pixels the Saturn is capable of displaying. Reducing the resolution further would take away visual details necessary to understanding the aspect of the game.

Purpose of use

Illustrates the developmental version of Sonic X-treme created by Chris Coffin, also known as the "boss engine". This is an important aspect of the game's development cycle and its use enhances the reader's knowledge of the subject in ways text alone cannot. As there were two versions of the game being developed at the same time, readers could possibly be confused about the differences between them. As an image of the main version is used in the "premise" section, this image, used for the game's "development" section, serves to illustrate the second version.

Replaceable?

No free alternative is possible due to the developmental game being copyrighted.
