Tom41 arguably is the person who began the chain-reaction that led to the Sonic ROM hacking scene. In 1998, before the Sonic 2 Beta was made public, Tom released information on how to access Hidden Palace Zone using a hex editor. He also released several other bits of information, including a table of Blue Sphere stages for certain games when locked on to Sonic & Knuckles, on his web site.
