Over the decades, there have not only been many great video games but iconic characters that have stood the test of time. When talking about these characters, it's impossible not to bring up Sega's own mascot: Sonic The Hedgehog. Originally created as a mascot that could rival Mario's popularity, Sonic would burst on the scene in 1991 and quickly became a video game icon and like many, his popularity has spun off beyond video games including cartoons, movies, and merchandise. With the 30th Anniversary having come on June 23rd, it's time to look at the one that kickstarted Sega's biggest franchise. While I'll mostly focus on the Sega Genesis/Sega Mega Drive version, I'll also bring up the Sega Master System/Sega Game Gear version.
