Sonic the Hedgehog

The first Sonic is a classic that I had an absolute blast playing back in the day until I got stuck at Labrynth Zone and never saw past that point upon each replay.

Today as an adult replaying the game, I was able to see the whole game through without much trouble.

Sonic 1 is one of those games you can replay again and again for years and not get sick of it. Although while Sega found it's stride here, there were still a lot of shortcomings like the spindash not being yet discovered, and the absolutely infuriating level design at some points. Both points would be addressed in it's Sequel.

Still, Sonic 1 is always fun to just pick up and play, and nothing is more iconic than zooming through Green Hill Zone over and over again.

I like the whole vibe of the first sonic the hedgehog, I like the music a lot and running around pretty fast with sonic. Mario is better though

Good until labrithy zone

No, this game was never good.

I mean it’s alright

I had to go back to the start, as I'd only played Sonic 2 back in my mega drive days. My god is it challenging. You can't give into the zooming urge - it's all about taking time, thinking, and precision.

Lovely that the enemies are cute animals trapped in robots, freed when defeated. All in all a feel good retro classic. Brilliant party game, with super cool techno music towards the end.
