What Was Your First Sonic Game?

[Dizcrybe]

My first Sonic game was the first Sonic game (at least, it's the first one I have vivid memories of playing). On the Sega Smash Pack of all things. A lot of people hate that version, but it was still Sonic the Hedgehog to me. Seriously, that compilation along with Driver 2 practically defined my childhood in the first half of the '00s.

SADX. I was sat in my living room, and my older sister was playing the gamecube. I saw a blue thing running through a beach with fantastic music playing in the background, and I remember almost having a heart attack when a whale popped up out of nowhere and tried to kill the blue thing. Eventually, the blue thing saved it's yellow thing friend, and I was given the GC controller.  The rest, as they say, is history...

My cousin had Sonic 2 on his Genesis. My sister and I would sometimes visit him and play Sonic 2's multiplayer with him when we were children. I think I was three or so when I first saw Sonic 2. 

 

That's where it all began for me.

First Sonic game I ever played was Master System Sonic 1 way back in early 1994. First thing Sonic I ever saw was Bridge Zone and it's rather enchanting music. First Sonic game me and my sister's actually owned was either Sonic 2 Master System or Sonic Chaos Master System, it's been so very long that I can't remember which game was the first.

My first Sonic game was on the GameCube; Sonic Mega Collection.  When I booted the game up, I had a lot of fun running around in sonic 1.  But the really first Sonic I really loved was Adventure 2 Battle; played completely through the hero and dark campaigns and somehow beat the final story (I remember not beating that for a long time due to the dam section with Knuckles, didn't have the water bracelet thing).  I loved the game, and I still like the game a lot today, as the Sonic and Shadow levels hold up very well while the Knuckles/Rouge stages are better than I thought they were (but that broken emerald radar puts a damper on them), but the mech stages are okay at best.

Sonic 1 on Master System II in 1991, quickly followed by a Mega Drive + Sonic 1.

[SilJeff]

My aunt and uncle gave me their SEGA Genesis back in 1997, and one of the games was the first Sonic game from 1991

[LordMetallix]

Mine would have to be Sonic 1 on the Game Gear which my sister gave to me before she went to college along with Sonic 2 and Triple Trouble. 

Then later I would go on to play the Genesis games and Adventure 1 and 2 and the rest is history

Sonic 1 back in 1991. Remember being gobsmacked by the gameplay, graphics, music plus how adorable yet cool Sonic was!

[MarcusTheRocker]

Sonic Heroes on the PS2 and I loved it for the fun gameplay, cool graphics and the catchy soundtrack I mean sure the controls were awkward as hell at times but compared to Secret Rings, Heroes controls was a lot better. Even today I still love playing it even though I may suck and spend more time dying then actually getting to the goal

[Pylorian]

Sonic Rush. I immediately loved it and played constantly. Since then I've been a huge fan playing any Sonic game I could get my hands on.

[Speedy]

Sonic Adcance 3. Got to when I got my GBA (after my Game Boy Color broke). I needed a game for my new Game Boy of course, and I picked Sonic Advance 3 out of a lot of possible games in the shop. On a whim, really. I knew nothing about Sonic. I just saw the little blue guy and decided to love him. And love him I did, immediately. I still play the game sometimes, and even after Sonic Rush and others, it remains my favorite handheld game. First love, I suppose.

 

My first game for a 'big' console was Sonic Heroes... which I still insanely adore to the day.

[iDEATH]

Sonic 1, think I must have got it around 93-4 or so. I'd got my Megadrive for Christmas, don't remember exactly when/how I got sonic 1 I just remember loving it.

 

I remember going to a friends house and her brother was playing Sonic 2 but I thought it was a level I hadn't got to yet

[baba_944]

My first game was Sonic 1 Genesis. That was the only Sonic game I played on it's original console. I was shocked when I found out about Sonic 2 (Genesis). Never knew it had a sequel. I played that on a little plug n play. Sonic 3 I played on PC via S&K Collection.

[Dr. Detective]

Sonic Adventure 2: Battle.

 

I think I had gotten acquainted with Sonic 2 around that time as well though... but SA2 I loved a hell of a lot more.

[dykachu]

_{My first Sonic game was Sonic Advance for the GBA. I remember I was 6 but I already knew Sonic with cartoons. That was one of my favorite game for my GBA, I played it a lot ! Then I discovered the Genesis titles thanks to the Wii and Super Sonic playable in all levels was the icing on the cake.}

[Ravenfreak]

The first sonic game i've ever played was my very first video game in general as well, Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Genesis. I played in back in 1994 when my cousins brought over their Genesis to my grandma's house one time.

[DannCook]

When I was 5 I had an incident that meant I wasn't allowed to do much or have much of a childhood so my parents got me a Mega Drive with Sonic 1 and it was the only game I had for a while ( till Sonic 2 came around). I played the living day lights out of that game and became a life long Sonic fan and because of him when I was healed and able to go out again I just wanted to run or ride my bike really fast so you could say it gave me a need for speed lol.

[Logic]

When I was around like 6 I got Into Sonic. I had a PS2, so I bought 2 Sonic Games: Sonic Riders and Sonic Heroes.

[Irish David]

Sonic the Hedgehog in my friends house in 1993 before discovering Sonic 2 which is my favourite Sonic Game

[Katzii]

Sonic 1 on Master System is the first I rememer playing but I also had (and have) Sonic 1, 2 and Chaos on Game Gear.

[Space☆Tomoki]

Sonic Adventure 2: Battle on the Nintendo Game Cube. Despite of all the hate it gets and the flaws it has, I do hold a soft spot for the game, regardless, if only for nostalgia.

[StaticMania]

1st Sonic game: Sonic Heroes/Sonic Mega collection.

 

This pretty much is the reason that Heroes is my second favorite Sonic game,  I got this when I first got my Gamecube/Ps2. I enjoyed Sonic Heroes but because at the age I was at the time(6) I didn't ever get past act 2 of stage 1 because of the chase segment(I was such a pansy). Sonic Mega collection introduced me to the other Sonic the Hedgehog classics and how I came to love Sonic3&K.
