Draw Me Backwards!: Sonic The Hedgehog

Year 1991
Platform: Genesis/ Master System/ Xbox live arcade ( 2007 )

According to my post about the character Sonic i will now give you a little review, from wish maby is one of the best platform games ever made and games overall.

Sonic the Hedgehog is a platform game developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega for the Mega Drive/Genesis system. It is the inaugural game in Sega's flagship Sonic the Hedgehog video game series, and was the first title developed by Sonic Team. It was first released on June 23, 1991 in North America, and the same day in Europe. The Japanese version was released on July 26, 1991.

In the game, Sonic has to prevent Dr. Robotnik from collecting six of the Chaos Emeralds in an attempt to rule South Island. He must traverse six "zones", each comprised of three stages or "acts", until he confronts Robotnik for the last time in the Final Zone.

The gameplay centers around elements that exploit the increased performance of the 16-bit console over its 8-bit forebears.

Sonic could run, jump, and roll at significantly higher speeds than most platformers of the time.

Essential to the gameplay are the golden rings the player collects along the way in each level; a feature which would become one of the defining characteristics of the series. These items serve multiple functions. First, the player collects rings to protect Sonic. As long as they have at least one ring, the player will not lose a life when injured. Instead, when hit, up to 40 of the rings the player has collected will fly outward and scatter around the immediate area, some of which can then be retrieved before they disappear. If the player runs into an enemy without a single ring, they will die. If the player collects 100 rings they will gain a life, and gain an additional life for every 100 rings after that, provided the rings are not lost.

The game features no
