The First time I played Sonic the Hedgehog
It was in the 90s when I first played Sonic The Hedgehog on the Sega Master System. I remember looking at the cover and thinking this must be a cool game. On the cover it had this cool looking blue hedgehog with red and white shoes and what looked like a bit of Green Hill Zone in the background. At the back of the cover it had screenshots of the game. I could not wait to play it. At this time Sonic was the new mascot for Sega. When I switched it on I heard the title screen intro and it sounded awesome.The gameplay was similar to Alex Kidd. It was a platform game. Going through different levels. Instead of punching the bad guys like in Alex Kidd you would jump on them. Also you would collect coins and if a bad guy gave you a hit all of your coins would be lost and if you had zero coins and the bad guy hits you, you lose a life. In sonic you had two chances instead of one like Alex Kidd.

The soundtrack track was pretty good. I liked the Bridge Zone theme. On the third level of every zone you would have to beat the boss Robotnik. I enjoyed playing this game as it was unique and straight forward, going from A to B. Also the bonus stages were like a pinball machine, bouncing around everywhere.

The game was short only 17 levels so you could complete it within the hour. It's one of those games that you can play over and over again, which I still do. If you haven't checked out the master system version I suggest you should.

Thanks for reading
