Sega needed a benchmark game for its new console, but one that could stand out from the competition. In the early 1990s the developer Yuji Naka was given a mission by the boss of Sega in order to be able to make the Megadrive (Genesis) compete with the worldwide popularity of Nintendo and its super star Mario. In free Sonic games you will be able to roam huge worlds at full speed and discover endearing characters like his companion Tails or the mighty Knuckles. Sonic fights against the evil Doctor Ivo Robotnik (Eggman) a villainous scientist who wants to capture small animals for his machiavellian experiments.
Sonic games are widely known for being fast-paced, side-scrolling platform games in which you play as a dynamic little blue hedgehog who curls up into a ball to gain speed and take out enemies.
