Game summary
Sonic Robo Blast is an early Sonic fan game from 1998, created by Sonikku, real name Johnny Wallbank, of Sonic Team Junior. It is one of the earliest Sonic fangames to exist and led to the founding of Sonic Team Junior as well as the eventual creation of it's sequel, Sonic Robo Blast 2.
Since then, there been a full-out update to SRB1 started, which is approved by Sonikku, labeled as version 1.4. It is presently being worked on by Earless Team. Version 1.4 remakes the game from the ground up with the same general level ideas and premise, and is also the first truly major update to the game in years.
First released: Feb 1998
Play Sonic Robo Blast on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Sonic Robo Blast on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
