Let's Play Sonic 1 Game Gear!



My hedgehog has got no nose! How does he smell? Terrible!

Sonic the Hedgehog was a 8-bit port of Mega Drive game of the same name. It was released for the Sega Master System and Sega Game Gear. The Master System was thriving in Brazil at the time of its launch in that country on October 23, 1991. The Game Gear version was released in Japan on December 28, 1991 and was also released in North America and Europe in that same month. The plot of this game is that Sonic the Hedgehog is fighting Doctor Robotnik and he has to take the six Chaos Emeralds to free the land of Robotnik's pollution.

Released just months after the MD/Genesis version, a Sonic game the 8-bit systems could call their own. Although some of the levels are obviously inspired by its 16-bit counterpart, the game itself is still pretty unique. This was the first console game I ever owned.

As usual I will be playing the Game Gear version, highlighting any differences between the GG and SMS versions (there are quite a few in this game!)

I will be collecting every single 1up (one hidden in each act) as it's something I have never managed to do and I hear you do actually get something for doing this!
