Sonic the Hedgehog is straight-up retro gold. If you’ve ever played the original on a Sega Genesis, this version feels almost the same — just now you can run it right in your browser. You’re Sonic, the blue blur, speeding through loop-de-loops, dodging spikes, grabbing rings, and trying to take down Robotnik before he wrecks everything.
Arrow keys move Sonic left or right, and Z is your jump button. The goal’s simple: sprint through each level, avoid getting smacked, and make it to the end as fast as you can. The more rings you grab along the way, the better.
