Today at SEGA Nerds we are saying a big Happy 22nd Birthday to Sonic the Hedgehog. This day (June 23rd) way back in 1991 was the day that Sonic the Hedgehog 1 was released on the Mega Drive in Japan.
Since then Sonic has featured in more than 80 titles(!!) from home consoles, to PC titles, handhelds and a number of mobile phone games. It’s certainly been an impressive run for the little blue guy so far. Yes, not all of Sonic’s games have been master pieces, but it’s hard not to tip your hat to SEGA and Sonic – a character that has been on our screens for so long and has remained hugely popular across the world.
Competition time!
As we mentioned on our special Sonic-themed Nerdcast the other day – to help celebrate Sonic’s birthday, we are giving away the Sonic Hits Collection on Steam!
