Gamers instantly loved Sonic The Hedgehog for his, well, EVERYTHING! The blue blur was on top of the world and was even compared to Super Mario at the time! Kids were like, "THERESTHIS GUY NAMD SANIC WOW CHECK IM OUT HES LIKE MORIO!" And more people wanted to play it because kids thought there was going to be a new mascot who could always make games that make you want to wet yourself! (You know, except me. Like how 90% of the Mario Bros Games people were holding down the B button to go faster! So Sega created Sonic The Hedgehog, which if I talked all about it's history, then this "Review" would be over 9,000 words long. Then in 1990 they must have realized that people liked going fast in video games. For a while they had this character called Alex The Kidd, and while his games were alright, (Enchanted Castle though is one of my Top 20 Favorite Games Ever,) They weren't phenomenal. Did they look rushed, blurry, and hard to look at? (ACTION 52.) Or did they look colorful, nice, pretty, and settling on the eyes? (Fantasy Zone!) Either way, Sega knew that the NES, (Or the 1985 Official Nintendo Entertainment System, hehe,) Was starting to lose competition because of the 8-bit graphics, so they made the Sega Genesis to show off what they could do to revolutionize graphics as we know it.
#Amazing maze part 2 game grumps 64 bits#
Back then people were like, "Hey dude have you seen the NINTENDO 64? 64 Bits dude! 64 BITS!" Nobody cares about bits or whatever nowadays because most games graphics look either great, or just like a lot of other games.īut back then, graphics was a huge part of a game.
MARIO, PAPER MARIO, IT WAS LIKE NO MATTER WHAT GAME YOU BOUGHT WITH HIS NAME ON IT, YOU HAD THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE!īut then Sega, being the awesome company they were, (WERE,) They made the worlds first 16-bit system, BEHOLD, THE SEGA GENESIS! *Clap Clap Clap* You see a difference yet? Back then, games were about 2 things. But who had a CD-I anyways?) Mario's game were the best in the world! Such classics like Super Mario Bros, Mario 2, Mario 3, Mario 64, Mario World, MARIO TENNIS, MARIO GOLF, MARIO PAINT, DR. The plumber who SAVED THE VIDEO GAME INDUSTRY! (Well, it was mostly Nintendo, they even made Mario) No matter what garbage you saw being sold for $400 dollars, (VIRTUAL BOY.) You could always count on the Mario Bros for fun every single time! (Well, except Hotel Mario. Except one gaming mascot that you could always count on to give you many guaranteed hours of fun. There was so many bad games and companies as you already know, (LJN.) And it was like a 50/50 chance you'd find a good game. HYDE HOLY MOLY THAT IS HIGHWAY ROBBERY!īut whether or not you would want to LIVE in the 90's, you have to agree that games were pretty hard to enjoy. And games no matter how bad were VERY pricy. (I am looking at you, E.T.) And all you had to see on what the game was like was a commercial barely explaining anything, a photo, a weak description, and a name. You didn't know if it was going to be the best game ever made or the ultimate rotten turd in the giant abominable s**t stack. But before I start the review, let's start with a little back-story.īack in 1990 It was pretty difficult to buy a video game. Oh boy, I've wanted to tackle this game for a while! So Sonic The Hedgehog is one of the most famous video game icons ever made now, and this game alone proves why.
