I never had a Mega Drive as a kid, but I do remember playing the first couple of stages of Sonic 1 on the demo pods in Debenhams and Curry's. I've had the SEGA AGES version on the Switch for a while and after hitting a brick wall on Sonic Mania, I thought I would give Sonic 1 a try instead. Green Hill Zone is brilliant - I love the graphics and the music, plus you can get some good speed up without any real danger lurking off-screen. It's fast, it's fun. It's what I wanted the rest of the levels to be like if I'm honest. But things take a turn for the worse immediately in the Marble Zone, where you gotta go fast slow. I mean, it's not terrible, but it feels a lot more like a generic platform game compared to the previous zone. There are things that crush you to death, blocks to push, lava sections and spikes to dodge. At least the music is still catchy. Spring Yard Zone had more moving blocks which threatened to crush you if you try to rush through and pinball sections where I felt about as in control of Sonic as I do a pinball once it's left the flipper. The Labyrinth Zone was the most frustrating stage of all with its underwater sections, spikes galore and the worst music. Starlight Zone was mostly alright, great music too. Scrap Brain Zone was very frustrating and I was glad to get it finished. On the plus side, I did like the bonus stages - very trippy with (again) great music. I don't feel like I really got the hang of them though, I think I finished up with just 1 Chaos Emerald. I guess I was surprised to find out that Sonic The Hedgehog was not a fast, fun game like I had always assumed it was. Is it a classic game or just a historically important one? I'd say the Green Hill Zone is nigh on perfect, but the quality quickly drops from there. Has anybody here enjoyed it without any nostalgic attachment?

http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/03/project_sonic_2017s_official_title_is_sonic_forces Previously known as Project 2017. Wisp power-ups, and I couldn't quite tell from the blurry video but it seems they're taking the realism approach again. Looks pretty though, certainly. HYPE
