Sonic the Hedgehog: A hero for the generation of 16-bit

It has been almost twenty years since Sonic the Hedgehog made jaws drop and the world take note. After getting battered by Nintendo and its chubby Italian plumber, Sega knew I had a character that could sell a million copies. The company had been struggling for a long time to develop a character that would resonate with fans of video games as Mario did.

People often forget that the first Mario adventure Super Mario Bros. was not before the game never left, tries to free the damsel in distress on the hit Donkey Kong. It was only a matter of time before making the jump into an adventure itself.

And it was an adventure!

Since its launch 25 years ago, has sold more than 40 million copies. Sega had never experienced anything like it, and if they could produce something with only a shadow of the star-power to them one major players and competitors in the gaming industry.

Unfortunately, their mascot, Alex Kidd, not cut. They needed something fresh and original that dazzle the eye and make full use of its technologies under development.

In the eighties became the nineties, was officially time to save the past. That meant say goodbye to the Sega Master System and the fun of 8 bits of the Reagan era, and hello to something more powerful and advanced.

Hello, Sega Genesis!

But if Sega is going to make a touch with his new 16-bit system, which would have a character and a game that really shows what technology could do. Coinciding with the release 8-bit, which was the last launch of the Sega Master System, Sega Genesis had a new creation: a blue stuffed hedgehog that could zip and roll and move in the screen.

He could run fast and fashion through bonds, as the roller coaster, collecting coins, defeat the villains, the attainment of power of the Chaos Emeralds, and ultimately locking horns with the powerful Dr. Eggman, it floated and floated and defeated at all in his diabolical machines all intent to commit serious injury to his opponent.

Sonic the Hedgehog for the system 16-bit Sega Genesis was a marvel. He boasted of the graphics advanced of its time. Showed a fast game, fast, steep, curves, drops and springs, all designed to advance through the stages as quickly as possible. While most players are not accustomed to the intensity, which proved to be an exciting experience that was a challenge, but at the same time easy to collect,

Each of the six worlds had three events, and offers a unique, complex in detail and color schemes. From the beauty of the South Island of the dangers of industrial risks Dr. Robotnik, Sonic the Hedgehog flies at their own pace, testing every mission with the hope of wrestling control away from Dr. Robotnik and his evil minions.

To date, has sold over 4 million copies, generating even more successful sequel to the Genesis Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and a number of other characters and adventures throughout the industry and spills over into other media.

Sega wanted a hero can offer. In Sonic the Hedgehog, I have it!
