Sonic the Hedgehog (Mega Drive/Genesis) playthrough ~Longplay~

This is a playthrough of Sonic the Hedgehog for the SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis.

Sonic 1 may be a bit on the slow side compared to later games, but it's still a good time in its own right. In this run I'll be collecting all 6 Chaos Emeralds from the special stages and getting the good ending... which really isn't that different from the bad ending.

Even after 25 years of my life passing, Sonic the Hedgehog 1 still brings me a warm feeling. I miss those days.

[GrandMoffJames]

Oh good the drowning warning still gives me an anxiety attack at 32.

[bgersk]

Sitting through almost an hour of someone’s gameplay and I’m lost, feeling like I’m back in the 90’s again when life was so simple. What a feeling.

[TheFoxFromSplashMountain]

Still an absolute blast to play, even 30 years later. That's how you know you've made a great game. No wonder it's been ported goodness knows how many times.

For the 45 minutes 52 seconds I was transported back to my childhood. Who says time travel does not exist?

[SuperMarioAutist]

Mario: Saves the Princess.

Sonic: Saves animals and nature.

[Sillysoft]

Ahh nostalgia. When I hear the sonic song being played, reminds me of summer in the 90s. School was out and my moms friends nephew came down from NY and we hung out every night. Stayed up until 5-6 in the morning playing games, swimming, movies etc. Good times...

[perkiewitthelean]

The days when we didn’t have the problems or stress like we do today, I would do anything to go back to these days

My first game. Sonic came bundled with my Genesis back in '91. Little did I know that it would be the beginning of a life-long love of video games and the start of my -hoarding- collecting.

[CnspiracyNy]

The music in this game alone brings back such a nostalgia from my childhood growing up in the early 90’s i could shed a tear, sonic and sega was a staple for us kids who grew up in this era, what a time

[kRazyyyyyyy]

so much love and memory in these 2 seconds.

[LITTLE]

𝗩𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 Sonic game. The legendary time Mario had a real rival and started the infamous SNES vs Genesis war.

I think this is certainly one of the best games ever made. The levels are beautiful, wonderfully designed, challenging (in a good way) music sticks with you forever and amazing playability.

Despite 30 years of technology advances, few games can compel and enrapture you as sonic did.

[paulmkz]

This was my childhood. The 90s were a really fun decade. Especially with all the technology that waa developing.

[adampellett]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SONIC!

For everything was way past cool to remember the time I played you since I was 9.
For the cartoons, the comic books, merchandise, even a 2020 Movie as well.
Been working forward for more stuff from you. You're WAY PAST COOL, man.
Great upload.

[youngmoney]

Here I am. Watching my childhood while tears are flowing down my eyes. I've missed the good old days!
