Overview:
Sonic the Hedgehog is Sega's number one claim to fame. As one of the biggest games ever, it carried Sega through some rough times. While the Sega Genesis sold like hotcakes, its younger brothers (Saturn and Dreamcast) flopped. Sega is now out of the console business, and Sonic The Hedgehog is still alive. That's almost all Sega does today. They have released a Sonic game on almost every system out right now.

Sonic the Hedgehog is a lot of fun to play. I always thought of it as Mario on crack. It was a platformer that was just super fast. There were plenty of levels and a lot of baddies to get through. The bosses were always Dr. Robotnik in a new machine. Sonic the Hedgehog is a cornerstone of classic gaming, and if you've never played it, I suggest you get going!

Directions:
Save all the woodland animals from the evil Dr. Robotnik, he is using them to do his bidding by enslaving them in robots. On your way through seven zones that are split up into sections, and five bonus levels, there are several items of interest.

First are rings. Rings need to be collected for two reasons, points and life. The more rings you have at the end of a level, the more points you will get. While you have rings on you, if you get hit you won't die but you'll have them knocked out of you. Try to get as many back as you can. You will also get an extra life for every hundred you collect.

The other items will be found in TVs after jumping on them. The super ring gives you ten rings. The speed shoes give you super sonic speed. The shield wraps you in a protective layer of energy that is good for one hit. There is also an invincibility power-up that will make you invulnerable for a short time. You will still be able to be crushed or fall off the edge, though. There is also a Sonic face that is good for a one-up. At the end of each zone you will have to go up against Dr. Robotnik and his latest creation.
