Can you believe it? Sonic the Hedgehog is 20 years old? Neither can I.  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-13874266

I never really liked Sonic but, as a testament to it's lasting appeal, my kids still love it.

It lost the plot a bit after sonic 2 IMO, but then maybe I just grew out of it! Can't believe it's been 20 years since I got my mega drive!

The original MD games - you could never wait to play them, but do you know anyone who ever sat long enough to finish one?   _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

Played it a few times with friends but platforms like this very rarely interested me. 20 years though.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

My boss has a 5 year old lad who loves it. He has the T-shirts, lunch box, wall paper... I think it's fantastic for an 8 bit classic to still have so many fans after how many generations of processors and consoles? _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly."

The MegaDrive was a 16 bit system. The GameGear, for which there was a Sonic title, was an 8 bit system.

I completed the game gear version once. I was in hospital waiting for an appointment for about 4 or 5 hours. They had a game gear so I plugged in and played the game from start to finish

Indeed. However, Sonic was just as much a classic on the 8-bit systems. _________________Jim

Wow. I remember when the likes of Rice Krispies were doing a competition to win a mega drive with a sonic the hedgehog game. I entered and didn't win but had lots of fun spending a saturday morning trying to draw him!
