Template:Infobox Website The Glowing Bridge was a web site that existed to archive research on Sonic the Hedgehog prototype games, and to also document modifying Sonic games using split disassembly techniques.

Although it was highly disliked by certain members of the community, due to it's controversial origins, it pioneered some concepts that were later embraced by Sonic Retro, such as tags on the forum for posting blocks of Assembly (though this was never fully completed on GB) and also the idea of having simple step-by-step tutorials, an idea that became mirrored on Retro with it's SCHG_How-to:Guide section.

Since Glowing Bridge later became a wiki-based, with the idea of people submitting their own tutorials, the site collapsed and became entirely redundant with the creation of the SCHG Guide section due to Retro having a larger memberbase, and was closed down in November 2007.
