I love Sonic. I won't lie to you guys, I love him. He's blue (My fave color), he's got one heck of an attitude, and that's what I love about him. He is what a video game needed back then: a cutting edge hero who was out to prove something, and he was definitely it. The levels were amazing then and they still are now. My all time fave. level is the Starlight Zone (sit there and listen to the music it will make you smile). It's a good thing a I still have my Sega, cause when I want to stop Dr.Robotnik, all I have to do is go in my closet and play what is in my opinion the greatest platformer ever to grace a console: Sonic the Hedgehog!!!!

Sonic the Hedgehog was my first forray into the gaming world all those many moons ago. Since then I haven't looked back. The game premise is ultimately a simple one. Fast blue hedgehog has to rescue cute animals from robotic prisons while hunting for Chaos Emeralds and his ultimate nemesis, Dr Robotnik. It's a simple platformer game with memorable characters and music. The levels are always challenging though, and they are well designed on the whole.

An indispensible part of computer gaming history and probably the childhood of most children born in the mid 80's. I still remember the cheat for this game!
