Corbie's Top 10 Genesis Games #4 - Sonic the Hedgehog

It goes without saying that the original Sonic the Hedgehog is still one of the greatest 16-bit era games ever made. While I love all of the 16-bit Sonic titles, the original still holds a special place in my heart and my video game collection, even all these years later. I still drag this game out quite often and play through it again just for fun. I remember making my family drive all over the city of Alamagordo, NM in order for me to find a copy of Sonic the Hedgehog the day it came out while we were on vacation. While they weren't happy about having to spend several hours hunting down a video game store, it was well worth the effort when I got back to my motel room and began playing the game. They had to drag me kicking and screaming out of the motel from then on as I didn't want to put the game down. No matter how you do it, track down a copy of Sonic the Hedgehog if you already haven't and experience one of the main reasons that many gamers owned the Sega Genesis console back in the day. You won't be disappointed. Sonic the Hedgehog is still one of the best video games ever made and a real treasure among the platformer genre.
