"The most famous hedgehog in the world"
In honor of the upcomingProject Needlemouse Sonic Generations, and another possible great entry in the Sonic series, similar to Colors, the GAF plays Sonic 8 bit - 16 bit classic platforming series topic has been created! There are many ways to play the following games (through various collections and via download), and although it's fun to go back and replay classic games, this topic should serve as a reminder of what made the Sonic series so great.
I recommend that those involved play through the titles in order (depending on the system) to fully take in how the series has grown, however if you cant do so, or just have a few favorites, then by all means play in the order you wish.
16 bit series:
Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic has to prevent Dr. Robotnik from collecting the Chaos Emeralds in an attempt to rule the world.
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Dr. Robotnik is creating a spaceship of doom, the Death Egg. Sonic and Tails must stop this superweapon.
Sonic CD
It turns out that Amy Rose, a female hedgehog, had used tarot cards to find Sonic, but was kidnapped in front of his very eyes. Sonic must find Metal Sonic, whom kidnapped her. Meanwhile, he must also collect the Time Stones and travel through time to foil Dr. Robotnik's latest plot.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3
The Death Egg has crashed on an ancient island kept afloat in space by the Master Emerald. The force lowers the island into the sea. Dr. Robotnik begins repairs, and convinces the guardian of the Master Emerald, Knuckles the Echidna, that he is with Knuckles in protecting the island and that Sonic and Tails will try to steal it.
Sonic & Knuckles
* For maximum enjoyment, play Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles locked on as one game *
