Sonic the Hedgehog (game)

Sonic the Hedgehog (game) is a platform game developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega for the Sega Genesis home video game console. It was released in North America in June 1991, and in PAL regions and Japan the following month. The game features an anthropomorphic hedgehog named Sonic in a quest to defeat Dr. Robotnik, a scientist who has imprisoned animals in robots and stolen the powerful Chaos Emeralds. The gameplay involves collecting rings as a form of health, and a simple control scheme, with jumping and attacking controlled by a single button.

The birth of this game gave way for Sonic Vs. Garfield: Battle for Syria's development. Without Sonic the Hedgehog (game), Sonic would not exist, thus preventing him from waging war on Garfield and Emperor Catfish.
