[ARCADE] Sonic the Hedgehog -Arcade version- 1991/1993 SEGA (Full Gameplay) Part 1

Sonic the Hedgehog (ソニック・ザ・ヘッジホッグ, Sonikku za Hejjihoggu?), trademarked Sonic The Hedgehog,[2] is a video game character and the main protagonist of the Sonic video game series released by Sega, as well as in numerous spin-off comics, cartoons, and a feature film. The first Sonic game was released on June 23, 1991, in order to provide Sega with a mascot to rival Nintendo's flagship character Mario (see 1991 in video gaming).[3][4] Since then, Sonic has become one of the world's best-known video game characters, with his series having sold more than 70 million copies.[5] In 2005, Sonic was one of the first game character inductees into the Walk of Game, alongside Mario and Link.[6]

Artist Naoto Ōshima, designer Hirokazu Yasuhara, and programmer Yuji Naka are generally credited with the creation of the character,[7] a blue 15-year-old anthropomorphic hedgehog, who has the ability to run at supersonic speeds and the ability to curl into a ball, primarily to attack enemies. This is a major part of the gameplay of the series. (by wikipedia) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_the_Hedgehog_(character)

It's a shame so many fans don't appreciate the emphasis on speed in the newer Sonic games. This proves that even Sonic 1 was about speed - you're racing against the clock, constantly trying not to run out of time and getting to the goal as fast as possible. Sonic is really a racing game cleverly disguised as a platformer, not a Mario clone like the disillusioned so-called "classic" fanboys claim it always was.
