Sonic The Hedgehog's History
By now, and with the help of the folks here at Sonic.Neo in their efforts to provide you with information on all things Sonic, you probably know who and what Sonic The Hedgehog is. If you don't, we've provided a handy character profile.

So, you probably want to know how Sonic got to this stage. Lucky we're here to help then, eh?

This is still a work in progress, but here's the first bit...



THE BEGINNING

1991. Only 9 years of the millennium left. Video-gaming has largely moved out of the bleeps and bloops of 8-bit games with 10-second soundtracks and sprites which cannot be outlined because the colour palette is too small. SEGA, with its 16-bit console, the Mega Drive (also known as the "Genesis" in America), wants to make a game that is going to take the gaming world by storm. So, a game with a new idea behind it is needed. A blue rodent who just happens to run at ridiculous speeds zooms through levels and concludes each by fighting a guy with a big moustache in a giant robotic contraption thing? It worked.

The game is an instant success. Delivering the combination of speed and platforming goodness never before seen in a platform game, it soon sells loads of copies and becomes much loved by many.
