Sonic the Hedgehog turns 20 this week. There’s no denying that the blue hedgehog is one of the video game industry’s most enduring characters, but his path has been bumpy.
There is a reason Sonic is one of gaming’s most iconic characters: his initial games on the SEGA Genesis (Mega to our UK readers) and were brilliant. Back in a time when SEGA fans fought with Nintendo devotees in playgrounds across the country, Sonic was a big deal. These 2D platformers are some of the best ever created.
