You can now play retro game Sonic the Hedgehog on your phone

in gaming •  8 years ago 

If you are aged somewhere between 30 and 40 and you liked to play games in your childhood, you will probably get the same nostalgic feelings as me when you see the screenshots below.

But these screenshot are not taken on an old-school Sega device, but on an Android device. Sega just released the original game Sonic the Hedgehog from 1991 for Android and iPhone.
Sonic is free to download (supported by ads) and can be played offline, but going online means you can save games in the cloud and see how you rank among other players on the leaderboards.

Mario who? We all know Sonic was the real hero of the 1990s video gaming scene!

A celebration of nostalgia! I've been playing this game a lot in my childhood :)

I cannot wait to start paying all the childhood nostalgia games...

Following you, Mr. Penguin! I'm finding your posts ASTONISHING! ;)

haha I was just playing Sonic 2 the other day. I have one of those all in one systems they were selling that also takes original cartridges. We also have a real Sega, but unfortunately we seem to have lost the cables for it.

When I clicked to download iOS it said U.K. Only 😢

It's not a new emulation app actually, but good to see they've updated it 2 days ago. I expect to see a post from you for the Cadillac's and Dinosaurs emulation as well : ))

This is so cool. I used to play sonic on the Genesis days on end when I was a kid. Been waiting dor the xbox one Sonic Mania so I can pass the pleasure to my little boy.

I love this game !!!! - age 32 :)

thank you for sharing

man, i'm no gamer, but i'll have to download this.

wow, I miss those games! Upvoted

Playing Sonic with touch controls sounds awful. You really need a controller for fast platforming games.

Can't wait until we have these kinds of games right in our browser.

WOOOOOOOW Childhood memories this game never gets old we all need tht throwback back to the 90"s 👌👍

downloaded. getting used to the controls, but its pretry awesome so far!

Awesome thanks .... following

Here's me rushing to download it!

hahaha ... Sega Now can in android, what to use emulator? on android

What memories. This is fantastic!. Thanks @penguinpablo

I tried to get this yesterday when I saw the news and it wasn't in the App Store yet. I am downloading it immediately! woot

Actually, I just checked and it's still not quite ready in apple App Store. Darn.

Too bad. It's available for Android, but for iOS it seems it's coming soon.

That's awesome. I still own the original carts for the genesis!
