Sonic Chaos - Psychology Central Overall, the gameplay is similar to previous 16-bit Sonic games. Sonic Chaos is notable for the fact that it is the first 8-bit Sonic title to feature Tails as a playable character, and also the first in the series to allow the player to manually control his flight. The game was exclusive to the Game Gear console and entitled Sonic and Tails 2 in Japan. psychcentral.com /psypsych/Sonic_Chaos   (918 words)

NES and Sega In fact, most lovers (correctly) attribute the death of the 8-bit to the Genesis, and Sonic the Hedgehog in particular. That all began to change when in 1990 Sega released Sonic the Hedgehog, an innovative game that could process data quickly without slowing down scrolling, a problem of many NES games. Back in the late 80's Sega released the Sega Genesis, an affordable 16-bit system with graphics and sound that was superior to the 8-bit NE; plus, the Genesis was a top loader, so players didn't need to 'jimmy' the cart like NES games. www.nesdays.com /sega.html   (399 words)

Press The Buttons: Sega TV Games Speeding To Stores As you'll recall, the Sonic Gems Collection compilation showed us that those games just aren't that great compared to their 16-bit brothers in this day and age. That tennis title was available as part of the four-in-one packed in game, and while it's an okay tennis game, it's only Sonic as umpire, so it's a bit odd they'd try to put it out as in a Sonic collection, even one like this... There's even a Sonic the Hedgehog joystick that apparently includes five Sonic games. www.pressthebuttons.com /2006/01/sega_tv_games_s.html   (630 words)

WomenGamers.Com - Because Women DO Play Sonic the Hedgehog, Sega's new mascot, was born. Although Sega was demolished in the 8-bit era, and the only profits keeping them afloat came exclusively from their arcade base (only to be swallowed by the black hole of debt surrounding the Master System), they were about to make a big comeback. Also in 1990, SNK, a long time Nintendo developer and maker of such games as Ikari Warriors and Crystalis released 24 bit Neo Geo in arcade and home formats. www.womengamers.com /articles/history6.php   (1126 words)

sonic Sonic the Hedgehog was probably the biggest thing to come out of the 16-bit era. Visually, Sonic was impressive at the time but by the end of the 16 bit era was pretty stale. Nintendo has no need to be embarassed, the game that allowed Sega to break into the market was a great one. www.geocities.com /pikahobbes1/sonic.html   (195 words)

16Bitpt6.html Sonic the Hedgehog was a huge hit during the 16-Bit era, whether you loved or hated his games, you can't deny that fact. On that note, Konami deserves a lot of credit for not only all the great games they bought to us during the 16-Bit era, but every era of gaming. I didn't intentionally pick Konami games for this, it just so happened that they had a crop of games that met my criteria for this write up. www.soundedgoodonpaper.com /16bit/16Bitpt6.html   (1027 words)

Sega Genesis - 16-bit video game console released in North America Games could be changed at any time, and more titles, such as Sonic the Hedgehog, were made availible. Other modules could play the TurboGrafx 16 games and the karaoke. The games were identical to their original counterparts, and the cheats also worked. www.japan-101.com /video_games/sega_genesis.htm   (1868 words)

Sonic Hedgehog 2 Once Sega established themselves as a worthy contender of the 16-bit era with the original Sonic The Hedgehog, they knew their newly successful mascot shouldn't be relegated to a "one-game-wonder" status, so they set out to follow it up with a sequel in order to keep the public's attention on them. Although Sonic was the true origin of the 16-bit wars between the giants Sega and Nintendo, this time Sega had a much greater challenge ahead of them. Comment: Sonic 2 remains strangely the most famous Sonic game, played by more people than any of other Sonic Genesis games. www.jungleshop.com /B00002ST7F/SID.html   (2016 words)

Sonic Battle Review As it stands, Sonic the Hedgehog has had quite a successful showing on the Gameboy Advance with two titles that fall into the classic vein of the 2 dimensional 16-bit era. Sonic Battle strives once more to prove that Sonic the Hedgehog is one versatile guy and it accomplishes more than I had hoped it would. An unusual foray into the Sonic universe, though certainly not unheard of, as Sonic had previously been playing pinball (as the Pinball) in the Genesis title Sonic Spinball (which was released on the GBA in the Sega Smash Pack). www.deeko.com /GBA/reviewDetail.asp?id=248   (2269 words)

Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog was created by DiC Entertainment, which produced a total of 65 episodes for its first season, and was syndicated by Bohbot Entertainment, now BKN International (in the original run, every episode began and ended with the "Bohbot Entertainment Presents" logo). Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog is a fast-paced cartoon with a lot of slapstick humor, akin to such shows as Ren and Stimpy or Tiny Toons. Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog was most recently shown weekdays at 8:00am Central Time on Toon Disney. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Adventures_of_Sonic_the_Hedgehog   (552 words)

"Sonic the Hedgehog" for Sega Master System "Sonic the Hedgehog" for the Sega Master System was released in late 1991. Since the Sega Master System is an 8-bit system and the Sega MegaDrive/Genesis is a 16-bit system, the graphics and sound are not as good as those of the MegaDrive/Genesis version. The Sega Master System version of "Sonic the Hedgehog" is almost identical to the Sega Game Gear version, but, like the Game Gear version, it is extremely different from the famous Sega MegaDrive/Genesis version. www.angelfire.com /ny/fredsonic/ssms.html   (552 words)

Sonic the Hedgehog (8-bit) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sonic the Hedgehog, while not a port of the original Genesis game, is a reworked version, including the same gameplay as well as both old and new levels. Sonic the Hedgehog battles Doctor Robotnik (Dr. Eggman in the Japanese version) for six Chaos Emeralds in order rid the land of Dr. Robotnik's pollution. Sonic the Hedgehog is a video game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series, developed and published by Sega for its Master System and Game Gear systems. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Sonic_the_Hedgehog_(Game_Gear)   (811 words)

Sonic the Hedgehog CD - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia When Sonic dies and starts to fall off-screen, the games animations continue to play as opposed to the other 16-bit games, where the entire game freezes during the death sequence. Sonic the Hedgehog CD or Sonic CD (as it is known in Europe and North America) is a platform game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series, developed and published by Sega. As time passed, Eventually the gameplay of Sonic 2 would be favoured for the future games but this explains why the theme and handling of Sonic CD are different, as well as the use of Sonic 1's sprites for Sonic. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Sonic_the_Hedgehog_CD   (2444 words)

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - videogame classics Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is the most successful videogame ever released for the Sega Genesis, and one of the most successful games ever made. With two of the three top minds from Sonic Team in the States, STI was given the honor of creating Sonic the Hedgehog 2, with Naka in charge. The First Four Sonics - they deserved to be titled as a group, like the Four Marx Brothers - revolutionized 16-bit console games, and represented an artistic and commercial triumph for Sega. www.danielthomas.org /pop/classics/sonic2.htm   (1237 words)

The Entertainment Depot - PC / Mac / Console Gaming : GameCube - Previews - Sonic Mega Collection Sure, Sonic Adventure 2 made its way to Nintendo's little powerhouse, but that was a newer title, that wasn't a soldier in the 16-bit wars like the classic Sonic titles were. Sonic The Hedgehog will be returning to the Nintendo GameCube in the U.S. this November in "Sonic Mega Collection." Hot on the heels of the blockbuster "Sonic Adventure 2 Battle," which marked Sonic's historic debut on a non-SEGA system, "Sonic Mega Collection" will feature *seven classic titles from the SEGA Genesis. Spinball is a nice addition as it was a novelty that many gamers seemed to skip on and 3D Blast was also an interesting choice as its release during the Saturn's reign mean very few people got to give it a shot. www.entdepot.com /gc/sonicmc/preview.php   (341 words)

Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sonic the Hedgehog's 16-bit graphics were impressive for its time, with richly animated sprites and varied colours, cutting no corners on the Sega Genesis' enhanced colour palette. Sonic The Hedgehog is frequently modified by ROM hackers, and its data addresses and code are almost completely understood through reverse engineering techniques. Sonic the Hedgehog is filled with sound effects, with chimes, bops and beats following the player through the levels. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Sonic_the_Hedgehog_(Genesis)   (2619 words)

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Review Sonic 2 is one of the best and most popular 16 bit games ever.

The Armchair Empire - GameCube Reviews: Sonic Mega Collection The blue hedgehog’s first title, Sonic the Hedgehog, put Sega fixedly on the video game map with its Sega Genesis, and for a short time near the end of the 16-bit era of gaming, helped push Sega past Nintendo as the top-selling home console. Okay, so the story of a blue hedgehog that has to defeat an evil mad robot-o-doctor while collecting golden rings and rescuing trapped animals is a little bizarre, but the action of dashing at sonic-boom speed through large and loopy level after large and loopy level still remains an entertaining gaming romp. Sonic Mega Collection brings together seven of our Hedgehog hero’s best games (with a few hidden non-Sonic titles) on one CD, and thankfully the fun that was had playing a Sonic game remains firmly intact in this great collection. www.armchairempire.com /Reviews/GameCube/sonic-mega-collection.htm   (866 words)

Review - Sonic Mega Collection Plus // PlayStation 2 /// Eurogamer Anybody who remembers Sonic's 16-bit outings the way we do will love playing through them again and watching the series progress from its radically inventive beginnings through to the blisteringly speedy latter stages, picking up chargeable spin dash moves and layers and layers of graphical detail on the way. It doesn't have the loved/hated Sonic CD, which is the only one you probably don't already own (except for Sonic Drift Into A Coma), and otherwise these are pixel-perfect ports, right down to the slowdown, and are no replacement for the real thing. Elsewhere, the inclusion of unlockable Mega Drive titles like Flicky and Comix Zone is pleasing, but the mechanics for unlocking them are not. www.eurogamer.net /article.php?article_id=57846   (866 words)

Sonic Jam for Saturn Review - Saturn Sonic Jam Review A true 32-bit Sonic title has yet to be released - last year's Sonic 3-D Blast was a port of a 16-bit title, and the latest Sonic game, Sonic Jam, is a retrospective of the Sonic 16-bit cartridges with a 3D "Sonic Museum" tagged on that offers little in the way of interest. Sonic Jam is a historical document of how a great idea went from being "fresh" and "groundbreaking" to "mediocre" and "tired." With the original Sonic the Hedgehog, everything was incredibly new and interesting at the time. Give Sonic the Hedgehog 3 a play, and you'll realize that while the game's graphics showed significant polish, the quality (as well as Sega's proverbial ship) was sinking at the time of the game's release. www.gamespot.com /saturn/action/sonicjam/review.html   (710 words)

Sonic Mega Collection Sonic the Hedgehog 3 -- As before, this is Sonic 3 in all its 16-bit glory, and there isn't much more to say. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 -- As with Sonic 1, this is a pixel-perfect emulation. If you haven't already played the 16-bit Sonic games on any of the umpteen platforms they've previously been released for, Mega Collection is worth your time and money. ghz.emulationzone.org /sonic/mega/mega.html   (1850 words)

The history of the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis series However, not even having heard of NEC's PC Engine (or TurboGrafX 16), as it was named in the US (I was young and unexperienced.), I found myself back at a friends house, gazing at the television screen, impressed by the speed at which "Sonic The Hedgehog" ran through the "Green Hill Zone". As the first true 16-bit console, the Mega Drive was released with an initial price of ¥ 21000 in Japan, on October, 29th of 1988. At the beginning, the Mega Drive was bundled with Altered Beast, that was ported from the System 16. www.skillreactor.org /tutortxt/megadrv   (1850 words)
