sonic

so this past weekend i finally got our house’s sega genesis to work (we also have a ps2, nes/super nes combo, n64, and wii). we’ve been playing sonic the hedgehog 1-3 ever since. we also have a game called michael jackson’s moonwalker, where, believe it or not, michael has to dance to kill bad guys and save children. but in regards to the sonic games, i never had a genesis when i was little, i’ve always been a big nintendo fanboy, but i did play sonic at friends houses. playing the game now is a complete blast from the past, and every time we play my housemates gather around whoever’s playing, and every game is filled with us saying things like, “i remember this!” or “don’t go that way, go this way because there’s a big ring.” a lot of games aren’t as simple or as fun as sonic nowadays, which is why i think the virtual console on the wii is great. it gives kids these days a chance to play what we played when we were kids.
