Turns out this fangame has DRM. Yes, a Sonic fangame of all things has DRM. For those who don't know (probably all of you), Sonic Retro (the site this fangame was founded on) originated as a rom hacking site and Sonic 2 HD began as a community project in 2008. The fact this game has really horrid DRM has caused a ton of drama on the site and it turns out the programmer of the game is a total douchebag that held this game's progress hostage. You can read about that guy's faggotry in this Sonic Retro editorial and some programmer's blog who did the coding for Sonic Fan Remix.* The first link also explains some history from the project and why the game is detected as a virus on a lot of anti-virus software (hint: the god awful DRM). Drama on Sonic Retro is always fucking hilarious, especially now that people are hacking Sonic 2 HD and mocking the game's bloated programming.

Yes, both Sonic Fan Remix and Sonic 2 HD remade Emerald Hill. I don't understand why that level is so popular.
