Sonic the Hedgehog (Mega Drive/Genesis) playthrough ~Longplay~

This is a playthrough of Sonic the Hedgehog for the SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis.
Sonic 1 may be a bit on the slow side compared to later games, but it's still a good time in its own right. In this run I'll be collecting all 6 Chaos Emeralds from the special stages and getting the good ending... which really isn't that different from the bad ending.

It is legendary, though Sonic 3 & Knuckles and CD eclipses this, but I loved that this game actually started the Nintendo vs Sega rivalry at the time. That's why I consider Sonic 1 the most important 16-bit game.

[@rubyrosem9693]

How old are you nowadays?

[@davidmenke7552]

I have such fondness for similar memories! For me, it was Christmas 1991 or 1992 when me and my sister got this. We played it all the damn time. Friends coming over on Saturday nights, ordering pizza and playing Sonic. And when Sonic 2 and 3 came out we were so excited and stoked!!! I remember being at the mall in Fall of 1993 and saw Sonic Spinball- I had NO idea it was coming out and here it was! Bought it right there (well, my mom did) and took it home to play. I was initially letdown because its formatted differently than the other games, but I eventually really got into it. And now I'm freaking 44 years old and it does NOT feel like all that time has passed! It truly feels like it could have been just 10 years ago or something. Yep, good times indeed.

I’m not a 90s kid but I still love sonic, but the weird part is that Sonic 1, while very nostalgic since I always emulated it and played it during elementary school computer class or on my dads pc (good times!!) always gave me a strange feeling. This might be because I grew up with a THOUSAND creepypastas, lots of them about Sonic, but I dunno, it just has this strange “first game” demo feeling compared to the others, and to be honest it’s sort of lonely, no Tails, no Knuckles, no Amy, no nothing. You go through the level, beat Eggman (to the same music every time), save the animals, and do it over and over all alone, while listening to the soundtrack, which is still nice, but has a strange, off key feeling that makes it sort of eerie, not to mention that it comes right between the age of the classic 8 bit soundtracks of the late 80s and the full, complicated ones of the mid-late 90s, which makes it feel strange and incomplete, almost. And the bonus stages are weird, too. The same abstract, brightly colored pachinko machine with strange, morphing low poly animals in the background and an off-keyish, almost melancholy soundtrack. Very fever dream-ish. Interesting place to keep the chaos emeralds. I’m most definitely reading too much into a silly game from the 90s about a cute blue hedgehog who likes to run, but I dunno. I bet none of y’all real 90s kids ever felt this so maybe it’s just cos I grew up with more modern games lmao, but it’s interesting imo

Isn't an arcade game defined as game made for arcade cabs (and then possibly ported to home consoles)? You know like those coin munching shoot em ups and brawlers from the 80s and 90s. Sonic was made for the Genesis. I guess you could call some games arcade style games even-though they were originally made for consoles. Thunder Force III for the Genesis might be a good example as it is a classic shooter with no saves and intended to be beat in one sitting. Later ported to arcade machines as Thunder Force A.C.

This, Rainbow Islands and Super Mario World.. Great times for platform fans :D

Man, I can't believe it was right on my third birthday of all days when the blue blur himself rushed into the scene via this particular video game, and this is coming from someone who admittedly didn't gain interest in that particular franchise until I was just transitioning into adulthood, meaning I've been 35 for just a tad over a couple of months as of now.

[@Emulous79]

I played this back in the day and just found out that John Carpenter even played it! Awesome.

[@cashin8284]

Played the hell out of this on the Sonic Mega Collection. This was well over a decade ago and oddly enough, I still remember almost everything about the game.

[@MiniCupNewsOfficial]

BRO! There's a sonic 1 secret ending! This guy found it. Here's the link to his video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5rOY2itpq6ofNE I watched the video. IT'S SO HARD TO GET IT! Watch it ALL! It's like 15 minutes long.

[@Corey-jj9gw]

The internet make you miss your childhood when you could go out have fun with friends in a public place with people and good vibes riding bikes man.

[@cupio-stardust]

Starlight zone is my favorite.

[@LITTLE1994]

Happy 30 years, Sonic!

[@DoctorPorkenfries]

Me, playing through this game for the first time: "Man, Labyrinth Zone sucked! Glad that's over." *Gets to Scrap Brain Zone 3* "FUUUUUUUUU"

[@freaknastii101]

Absolute nostalgia. Loved this. So relaxing.

[@lanceplaxton6967]

Always a timeless masterpiece that never dies.

[@jeannettewalker1032]

Yeah

[@jeannettewalker1032]

have you ever played Sonic The Hedgehog from 1991?

[@lanceplaxton6967]

Yes, I have.

[@MalcolmRandall]

Happy 30th Anniversary (6/23/1991-2021) Sonic the Hedgehog, one of the greatest video games ever made!

[@ugozin55]

10 years of this awesomeness

[@thegamingchef3304]

I remember my Pop watching me playing this before going to church. He use to be cracking up and asking if I knew what I was doing.

[@casedistorted]

I still remember first time I saw sonic 1 when it came out at my cousins in Chicago. It was mind blowing at the time and the reason to buy a Genesis.

[@DoctorPorkenfries]

It just dawned on me that the indoor areas in Marble Zone are dungeons and torture chambers. Note the barred windows in the background, the various spiked traps, the molten lava/metal....

[@xavidrupy]

Si te gusta lo retro este es tu canal

[@MephistoOrb]

You're comment really suits your profile pic lol

[@tgtauheedgaming2350]

Many emotions attached with this game🥺

[@Personwholikesgreen1]

I love playing this as background to fall asleep, so great

[@PsionicTrioTrinityTatFubukiPsy]

This game has no dialogue, yet its só cool to play

[@Karifi]

No cutscenes too. Back when gameplay is everything.

[@PsionicTrioTrinityTatFubukiPsy]

@@Karifi yeah

[@Navitheguy]

@@Karifi Scrap brain zone act 2 has one

[@cupio-stardust]

@@Navitheguy and the ending.

[@abandonedchannel2453]

This is giving me so many memories even though I played it on the Nintendo ds.

[@tracih.4488]

My favorite video game of all time!!! Happy 30th Sonic!!!❤❤❤

[@jackdoe552]

Great gameplay, and some of the most iconic music ever. The first two Sonic games are classics.

[@kairo8755]

I remember staying up waay past my bad time to play this💓😭#memories

[@eucleberoliviakaren]

Wowwww. It was amazing. Congratulations, partner. You are level 10. 😃👏👏👏👏👏

[@joel9507]

Nostalgia is such an amazing thing. Hearing the music, the sounds and seeing these visuals... I'm taken back to that time as a 5 year old boy, so vividly. Not a care in the world.

[@osvaldosaravia1184]

Love Sonic, Mario, Pacman, Metal Slug, Contra, Prehistoric Island in 1930, Snow Bros and many others.

[@WolfFreelandFalloutkid]

One of my favorites games of my childhood =D Not on the Genesis, I actually first played it on the GameCube from the Sonic Mega Collection. Long time ago when I was like 6 or 7. Right now I’m 21 still but going to be 22. Plus I now have a actual Sega Genesis Now ^^

[@zachareybivens641]

I used to play this all the time when I was little.

[@SamuelBlack84]

I was absolutely nuts about Sonic when I was a kid. One of my main sources of distraction throughout those lonely years. I could never imagine that one day a device would be invented so you could play these games on the go

[@dianasimonghaterchi9663]

I played this since I was like 5-7 years old but my first Sonic game was Sonic Dash 2013

[@dngr_4209]

Definitely one of the most Important Video Games ever made

[@MelancoliaI]

Kudos to the uploader for taking the difficult path through Scrap Brain Act 3.

[@Hologhoul]

All those years ago and it still looks and sounds absolutely fucking MEGA!!
