Never really got into this franchise as I was more a miggy man than the Sega machine at that time

But he is certainly a gaming icon and as such I salute him!

Happy birthday to the old blue guy, I think theres an xbox sale staring today for a month on Sonic titles as well.

There's a rumour that the demo for Sonic Generations will launch for birthday day later today ...

story linkage

My friend had a Sega Megadrive and I played sonic on that but he never appealed to me I much preferred the likes of commander keen and Duke Nukem on the PC when it came to platformers.

I can remember owning a Sega Game Gear, with Sonic the hedgehog. Never had a Megadrive (i had a Snes instead).

The game was great, but you could only finish it with a power supply connected, as even a brand new set of Duracell's would die before you got to the end.

Happy birthday Sonic

The rumours were correct.... the Sonic Generations demo is now up on the marketplace to download

I used to love the first 3 Sonic games when I was a kid, haven't played any since the megadrive days though. might have to have a look at some of the recent ones.

Generations feels very weird.

I thought it was gonna be an arcade game with same old bland cartoony graphics. But they are actually pretty good. The scenery looks awesome, though it's hard to see what you're doing alot of the time.

And sonic seem a bit out of place. It's like when you see those films where the cartoon characters are in shown in real life scenes. Same kinda effect.

I'm unsure about it atm, but will give it another go

Still got my old Sega Megadrive up in the loft, complete with Sonic 1, 2 and 3. Happy days...

Although i never had a Megadrive, i've got one now, as the wife still has hers. Complete with a couple of sonic games.
