List Of Sonic The Hedgehog Video Games
Sonic the Hedgehog is a series of video games published by Sega. Sonic Team, a subsidiary of Sega, has developed the majority of the games, although companies such as Dimps, Traveller's Tales, and Sega Studio USA have also developed some titles. The series started in 1991 with Sonic the Hedgehog for the Mega Drive. More games were released for Sega's own Mega Drive, Sega Game Gear, Sega Pico, Sega Saturn, and Dreamcast until Sega stopped manufacturing consoles. Subsequent games have appeared on a variety of home and handheld consoles such as the Nintendo GameCube, Game Boy Advance, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo DS, Wii, and mobile phones. The Virtual Console, PlayStation Network, and Xbox Live Arcade online services have seen re-releases of older titles.
The series focuses on the eponymous main character Sonic the Hedgehog, an anthropomorphic blue hedgehog. It also features a large cast of other characters such as Doctor Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik, Miles "Tails" Prower, Knuckles the Echidna, Amy Rose, Shadow the Hedgehog, and the Chao creatures. Most games in the series are platform games, although spin-offs have encompassed other genres such as racing, fighting, action-adventure, role-playing, and sports. Several of the early games have been recognized as classics in video game history, while more recent 3D installments have seen more mixed reception. The series has collectively sold over 80 million units.

“It is among the ranks of school-age children, those six- to twelve-year-olds who once avidly filled their free moments with childhood play, that the greatest change is evident. In the place of traditional, sometimes ancient childhood games that were still popular a generation ago, in the place of fantasy and make- believe play . . . today’s children have substituted television viewing and, most recently, video games.”
—Marie Winn (20th century)
“Religious literature has eminent examples, and if we run over our private list of poets, critics, philanthropists and philosophers, we shall find them infected with this dropsy and elephantiasis, which we ought to have tapped.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
“The rules of drinking games are taken more serious than the rules of war.”
