At least for the Pre-SG, it had so much potential of being turned into a video game. It could have been darker too to appeal to a teen audience (as if Sega/Archie doesn't disregard audience who have grown up since 20 years ago, right?). It could have a more consistant story line which is not in the same canon as the main game (the same way Boom is, as everyone knows).

In my head, such a game would not even have to focus on Sonic secifically, but can play as and take the perspective as different characters towards an end goal of ending Eggman's empire.

In my mind, I thought of covert operations and guerrilia warfare, small, decisive and surgical strikes within enemy territory; get in and get out. Sabotage, Search and Destroy, Seize and Secure, all in all crippling the Eggman Empire one goal at a time.

We could have say, play as Tails in his plane shooting down robots Ace Combat style, Play as Secret Service or Secret Freedom Fighters in covert stealth ops, silent and deadly, collecting Intel to better the Freedom Fighter's chances of survival, hacking and turning the enemy's weapons against their own, attempt to persuade surviving, but opposing Mobian Factions (eg. Sandblasters) to to either join your cause, failing that - fight against you. Hijacking an Egg Carrier or Egg Frigate and going all out ship-tp-ship combat in the sky against Eggman's Armada etc.

Hundreds of possibilities. All, wasted.
