Its Sonic's 30th Birthday

He doesn't look a day older than 2

Yesterday was the celebrated 30th anniversary of Sonic the Hedgehog when he first debuted on the SEGA Genesis with his self titled videogame. SEGA incorporated a live symphony show on his honor, playing various tracks from games old and recent. While most of said tracks just flew over my head, it was a show which any other Sonic fan appreciated and celebrated along.

Sonic the Hedgehog is a platform game developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega for the Sega Genesis home video game console. The first game in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, it was released in North America in June 1991 and in PAL regions and Japan the following month.- Wikipedia

The symphony show is still being broadcasted and can be seen on youtube-

In a complete bit of happenstance, the copy of Sonic Mania + I ordered last week came today, so I'll be playing through that tonight.

I think I always remembered Sonic games being better than they really were. I had a Game Gear as a kid and thought they were lots of fun, but I tried to play them on 3DS last year and really hated the experience (so many blind jumps and nonsense like that).

Game Gear titles are indeed fun.
