David the Hedgehog

[@diegomedina9637]

My favorite OC.

[@Nel_Annette]

His special ability is showing up to work on time.

[@Nonami3000]

Aw heck, this is happening!

[@ultrapyrusbrawler]

David was rehired once more, for he is the only one that they could find that cares about all the inconsequential details. I love him so much.

[@Aberyyyy]

"Would you like a job starting now?" David: boy would I? "You're fired!"

[@FindTheComputerRoom]

"Would you?" "Would I!" "Would you?" "Would I!"

[@waffletoast215]

David’s pure happiness when talking about Sonic 1 is just wholesome and adorable

[@Veolynn13]

15:25 David: "There's some good stuff hiding down here" The Caterkiller: "NO THEY AIN'T"

[@fpspwny995]

Sonic....the Hedgehog? This'll never catch on.

[@FindTheComputerRoom]

This is now a Burning Rangers focused channel.

[@GoldStorm07]

David is the one FTCR member who could probably carry an LP solo.

[@FindTheComputerRoom]

Just wait until you see the next part. Hear? Hear.

[@jacks.cosplay]

i love david, he rivals dk vine in terms of obscure shit only 1% of people care about lol

[@FindTheComputerRoom]

Truly we are the 1%, finally.

[@ChimbusPrime]

Great to see David back! I missed him dearly.

[@Shockwave677]

15:12 Please have David record more playthroughs

[@justjeff8970]

I remember when I got this game when I was young. My first ever Sonic game. I had so much fun, that I tried to find the copy I owned when I was older. My parents always put the old stuff we owned in the attic. I eventually find it, but something was strange though. The copy I found had the name "Sanik the Hedgehoog" in black sharpy. I didn't think much and got the Genesis out as well to get ready to play. I plugged it in and got ready to play. I turn it on. The unthinkable happened. The Sega logo appears and I got to play the game. The End. Thanks for reading my Non-Creepy Pasta.

[@AuraNova26]

Glad to see David find work again in this climate.

[@JD3Gamer]

The best way to play this game legitimately is to play it on Apple TV with a Bluetooth controller. That’s how I played the taxman Sonic 1, 2, and CD games.

[@zincarnate5827]

one of the best examples of first game syndrome

[@symphomaniac]

Game peaks in the first level lol

[@SlashClawGaming]

8:50 - Haven't seen the Sonic Central video but if what I see on Twitter is true..... damn near called it

Did you know that Sonic is, in fact, a hedgehog?

[@TheCrazyEven]

@@FindTheComputerRoom what the fuck you can't cancel me only i can do that

[@Comkill117]

Green Hill Zone? Well it’s alright as a first level but I can’t imagine them ever bringing it back. Edit: 6:23 if that doesn’t describe Sega, I don’t know what does.

[@igeljaeger]

theres something very cathartic about watching a fresh sonic 1 playthrough in 2021

[@JLMetak]

An LP recorded by THE David T. Lurker? Dis gon b gud

[@Nel_Annette]

I feel bad for saying this, but GHZ is probably the only level from this game I enjoy. I feel like each of the others has gimmicks that interrupt the momentum-based gameplay that the sequel did better to manage.

[@SmooviesTV]

Yup

[@SuperDanMan11100]

I imagine good things happening with this series, in that, I can imagine better things happening than what we have.

[@munchjrgames942]

This was David's re-application

[@SpiderKnife1]

I will always have a soft spot for Sonic 1, even though growing up with the PAL Sonic Compilation cart (that had Sonic 1, 2 & Mean Bean) 90% of the time I would gravitate to Sonic 2. There's just something about it for me that nostalgic, digestable & tickles my interest of retro games circa that late 80's - early 90's era that I find very satisfying to go through once in a while, and David touched on this in Marble Zone and I'll be curious if he says something similar during Labyrinth Zone, that when I'm not able to go fast in these zones I'm nowadays patient enough to go through those platforming sections as if it's like a Mario game and enjoy them for what they are. It's hard for me to pinpoint what it is that has allowed me to enjoy those commonly criticized parts as I got older, even with the fact that it counters the concept of what they were marketing Sonic to be in '91, but to this day I find myself more appealed to play 1 over 2 (which I know is another story & uncommon comment ) as it's more digestible, hits my nostalgia just right and can enjoy almost everything in the game. Looking forward to the other parts guys!

[@HarpiePlayerJoeHPJ]

What FTCR hasn't done the original sonic 1 omg. I'm glad David is taking the helm for this I enjoy David being on the channel.

[@FindTheComputerRoom]

Somehow we never did it! Weird, right?

[@trentology6936]

I missed dave

[@MrJimBusiness]

I like David the Hedgehog.

[@GumshoeGamer]

Wow Sonic? On FTCR??? Wow :0

[@cin2110]

Weird I always remember 2d games easily and struggle with remembering areas in 3d games

[@iananderson4754]

Triple trouble maybe? That's a short game. It was my first sonic game

[@JD3Gamer]

The Genesis can do scaling and rotating but only with the screen broken up into larger blocks whereas Mode 7 on the SNES can rotate the background on a per pixel basis. Game Hut’s video on Red Zone is a good example of how background rotation works on the Genesis and Retro Gaming Mechanics Explained has a series on SNES capabilities and one of those videos is just on Mode 7.

[@VidGams]

My mum says I'm a cool gamer... Edit: Just asked her, no she doesn't.

[@diegomedina9637]

Well that was fast

[@FastTheSonic]

15:50 THE BLOCKS FLOAT, WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?

[@FranciscoFJM]

Releasing the Taxman version on PC would inply paying the Taxman once again, and i guess thats too much to ask for Sega

[@Sydney_Angelyt]

I like marble zone for the music and athstetic

[@Wimpyfox]

The special stage trick where you do nothing in fact does not work in this version of the game ftr

[@FindTheComputerRoom]

Yeah, it's a good example of how the 2013 version "feels" right to play, but a lot of little things are actually different. In this case I'm not sure if it's due to the physics or if it's an intentional change, though I suspect the former. - Chris

[@Sydney_Angelyt]

The megadrive can’t scale and rotate, the 32X add on can

[@SonicTheCutehog]

What the fuck is a Sonic?!

[@carlclo2988]

There’s only one reason I like the special stages in 1 better than any other classic game. Because all the other ones are worse.

[@SmooviesTV]

False

[@carlclo2988]

Stephen Aymond You’re right, forgot Mania. 1. Mania 2. 1 3. Everything Else

[@SmooviesTV]

@@carlclo2988 You fool. Away. Before I make mincemeat out of you

[@JoseAlberto-dh8pf]

And now both Sonic 1 and Sonic 2 HD are on Origins, so some of the commentary in this LP is dated as fuck

[@binhosantos103]

Download?

Upload?

Yes

[@thunderguyer]

Sonic 1 has always,on hindsight,been one of the worst SONIC games. As a platformer,it's not that bad,but as a SONIC game,it's terrible. But of course,Sega didn't know what Sonic would become years down the line

[@Comkill117]

Nah, honestly it’s still pretty good as both, it just has some rough patches here and there. Like sure Marble and Labyrinth suck but the rest of the levels are pretty fun.

[@Sgt-Wolf]

This channel isn't dead yet? Guess if you want something done you have to do it yourself.

[@FindTheComputerRoom]

You’re telling me. (Hits delete channel button, like a boss)
