Re: Feature: Staff Memories of Sonic the Hedgehog

Back in the ye old days of 2004 if i recall, my brother and I had been begging for a video game console, and as I was only 6, I went with my brothers choice, the PlayStation 2. We had begged and pleaded, but my parents had stayed by their choice of no video games, that is, until one fateful day. My mom had gone out of town, and while she was there, she had gotten a Nintendo Gamecube, along with Luigi's Mansion and Mario Party 5. I barely recall anything from those games from back in the day, but I remember them being great. We had later gotten Mario Kart Double Dash!!, which me and my brother poured hours into, which were wasted as we didn't own any Memory Cards yet.
One day, my mom and I had taken a trip to the video rental place, and she said I could rent a game, and Sonic Heroes had caught my eye. Wow I loved that game, still do. On another out of town trip, we had picked up Sonic Mega Collection. I was bewildered at all the Sonic history and facts. I remember struggling to work my way through the several titles I still haven't beaten any of them hehehe And on my 7th birthday, I had finally received my own copy of Sonic Heroes. I still love that game.
Everything after that is sort of a blur, mostly filled with Mario and Kirby. Though I still loved sonic, picking up most of the GBA games, the Adventure ports, Sonic Gems Collection I LOVE Sonic R Secret Rings and The Black Knight. I still love sonic, as he was one of my first game experiences. Happy 20th Sonic! ~I have a bunch of games to grab.
