KEEP PLAYING: Rewind - Sonic 20th (Part 1)

KEEP PLAYING: Rewind has taken on it's largest project to date as I tackle the 20th Anniversary of my very first video game I ever played - Sonic the Hedgehog. So massive was this undertaking, that not only did I have to split it into two parts, but I also needed a guest to go-host it with me!

Come join me as we go through the Part 1 of the 20 years that have encompassed the legacy of Sonic the Hedgehog! And be sure to come back for Part 2!

OK first I want to say I love you but if I recall correctly it was Sonic 2 and CD that were in development at the same time, in two different countries no less hence why CD is more like 1 that it is 2. Sol Emeralds were never used again? Sonic Rush Adventure disagrees. Is there any reason the 8-bit games were ignored?

I'm looking forward to part two to see how much you two loved the werehog...

OK really I want to see your opinions on Colours as I felt it done wonders for the series.

@JP317 Thanks for pointing those out to me. I totally knew about Sonic CD too, but had a brain fart. Annotations are up to correct. Also, Part 2 will cover a bunch of the lesser-known games including the 8-bit ones. I couldn't touch on everything though, or there would be a Part 3!

@KyleJCrb Oop, never mind. Gotta watch part 2. XD

the gameplay lagging in this and it hurts my eyes

great video as ever!

Ambitious project, Sindra. And great work as always.

It's hard to believe sometimes that it's really been 20 years since I first played Sonic. Street Fighter II and (I think) Duke Nukem also turn 20 this year.

Where did the time go? o.O

On a side note, Awesomo looks like a young version of Dennis Gage, the guy who hosts My Classic Car on the Speed channel.

I assume you will touch on Knuckles: Chaotix and it's characters in part 2 even though it isn't an actual Sonic game.

While I agree that Sonic 06 is not a great game, I don't think it is horrible as some people make it out to be. Controls do suck though!

[JP317]

@sindaemon That's cool, sorry about going into Sonic fanboy - must correct everything mode. I'm sure it happens to all of us sometime, right?

And hey who says a part 3 would be a bad thing :p

What about Vector, Charmy, Espio, Chaos, and Emerl? Nega Robotnik may count too, but I'm not sure.

Also-- in regards to the comment amount Sonic 3D Blast's emerald stages being too easy-- three of the stages can literally be won by only jumping when you walk into a wall-- the spikes don't cost enough rings to knock you below the quotas.
