Classic Sonic The Hedgehog and Boss Design

Sonic The Hedgehog has a lot of games. And in these games, are boss battles. Boss battles are designed to be a test for the players skills with the game's mechanics, and controls.

Robert Frazer sees another side to Sonic Adventure's theme tune... Song! I doubt that all of the gruesome details of the great tragedy for the True Way of Gaming in the mid-1990s need be dredged up from the murky depths of repressed memories for the patrons of this website. Those heinous abominations that are Sony fans have abused us with lashes envenomed with the sorry saga long enough for each weary day to be ingrained in our backs. We can reluctantly concede that the person who desi

A brief timeline of SEGA and Sonic, and how SEGA is perceived. Okay, we all know that the Sega Corporation and Sonic have been 2 key icons in gaming as well as many other things. So let’s recap. It all started in 1991 when the Sega Corporation released the game Sonic the Hedgehog. That was an excellent game and Sonic’s name became known throughout the world.
