My personal favorite.
What can I say? Sonic the Hedgehog is one of my favorite games of all time. I remember the first time I popped this little number into my Sega Genisis so many years ago. This game captured my heart back in 1992, and sits there, still to this day. This game has it all. Likable characters, awesome music, nice graphics, and pure fun gameplay. Sorry if I'm sounding a little bit biased right now, but it's the truth.
You play as Sonic, a cute little Hedgehog, who speeds around levels jumping on various enemies and collecting rings until you reach the end of each zone. Along the way, there are many traps and other obstacles having you make good use of you're jumping abilities. As you can tell already, this game is a platformer. But this game had something that other platformers(at the time) didn't.... speed. One of the main gameplay hooks was that Sonic was quite a speedy character. In order for you to be succesful, you must learn how to control Sonic's extraordinary speed. At the end of each zone, you have to fight against your arch-enemy, Doctor Eggman. Eggman is always the boss at the end of each of the stages you complete. The game mainly consist of six different stages, each divided into three acts.
The graphics are actually really nice. Sonic isn't as thin as he is in the sequals, but he still looks good. He looks more cutesy, but that really isn't a bad thing. Enemies look nice as well. They really aren't really menacing, but more on the cute side. But, like I said, this really isn't a bad thing. Overall it is a very nice looking game, seeing as how it was one of the first to come out on the Genisis.
As far as audio goes. Sonic the Hedgehog is a little bit lop-sided. The sound effects(jumping on enemies, spining, collecting rings, the noise when Sonic dies, ect.) sound a little cheap. For instance, when Sonic dies, a peculiar noise happens that's hard to describe. Some of the noises just don't sound right, either that or they seem garbled compared to the music.
The music ,on the other hand, is perfect. All the tunes in the game perfectly mesh every stage. The tunes are simple and actually pretty catchy. Each of the tunes represent the theme of the zone you are in perfectly. Whether it be the depressed feel of the Marble Zone, or the funky cyber electric feel of the Scrap Brain Zone. The music isn't as good as the quality found in many SNES games, but they get the job done.
This is a perfect old school platformer for your Genisis. It is a classic game and like I said before, it is just pure fun to play. This is good game for everybody really. If you are interested in Sonic before the extremely mediorce Sonic: Adventures came around, this game is a great place to start.

A true classic
I renember playing this game when I was three. I renember every thing that was in the game. And still play this game to this very day. I own every sonic game they ever made for Sega Genesis from Sega Genesis to Sega 32x. and the system and all the other games and stuff with it is in mint condition. The game inspired me to keep on buying sonic games and mergndice if they ever made it. If you own a Sega Genesis and dont have these games or all the other ones, I recomend yoy get them because these are the best games for the system and they are full of action and adventure and have great challenging levels and bosses. I also recomend this game for all kids. Im sure they would love this game and all the other sonic games.

Buy It!!!! You'll love it!
Sonic the hedgehog was the first game I had ever played and had found it very fun! I started playing it when I was around 4 because my parents had bought it for my older sister and wanted me to be aloud to play the game too. It was nonstop fun to play that game! Though I thought the 2nd, 3rd, and Sonic & Knuckles, were better, this game was definatly great!!

Original Classic!
Man, I don't know how many times I've played this excellent game for the Sega Genesis, but if there's one thing I've got to admit, it's very addicting! This is the ORIGINAL classic that started it all, and while gameplay is pretty limited (You cannot yet do a charged spin attack or become Super Sonic) it's still very fun! In addition, the Chaos Emeralds are fairly hard to collect and you'll need to collect 50 coins or more in order to find and retrieve them in the Bonus levels. There will be times where you may have to go back and get them all, considering that it is rather difficult, but it's a good challenge for anyone who's up to it! With today's game's graphics, some players may not enjoy this but retro fans will definately get a kick (or should I say, SPIN?) out of it!
Also recommended: "Sonic the Hedgehog2", "Sonic the Hedgehog 3", "Sonic and Knuckles", "Sonic Spinball" & "Sonic 3-D Blast"!
