Chris RandazzoHOST
I think we're okay.
Chris RandazzoHOST
Oh wait, Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog? Is that what we watched? No, we just watched Sonic the Hedgehog.
Chris RandazzoHOST
I think it was just Sonic.
Chris RandazzoHOST
Yeah.
ReesHOST
So we've seen a Wolfenstein 3D port to the STE, which is very impressive indeed, and a few other quite interesting projects in recent years.
ReesHOST
And if you want to play Sonic 1 on your Atari STE, your stock Atari STE, you can now do that.
ReesHOST
And we've got this off screen capture here proving that it works on original hardware.
ReesHOST
So we'll just see how this runs.
Chris KeyHOST
Used in a sentence.
Ellie HarwoodHOST
Sonic the Hedgehog.
Chris KeyHOST
Went to the Mario shop.
Chris KeyHOST
S-O-N-I-C.
Brian RollinsHOST

Brian RollinsHOST
What Sega platform game featured an insanely fast Blue Hedgehog? Sonic the Hedgehog.
Brian RollinsHOST
Number 5.
Brian RollinsHOST
What platform game debuted in 1989 on the Apple II and was rebooted in 2003 with a game subtitled Sands of Time? Prince of Persia.
Kerr9000HOST
You know, this is a one-way conversation, but I'm gonna put a pretty good bet on that, particularly if you're younger than me, maybe born somewhere else like America or something, you are probably thinking about Mario.
Kerr9000HOST
And if you're not thinking about Mario, it will be Sonic the Hedgehog, or Crash Bandicoot, or somebody along those lines.
Kerr9000HOST
Well, that's where this is a little bit different for me, because I'm British, and I was born in 1981.
Kerr9000HOST
So by the time Mario and Sonic had come into my life, there'd been a whole host of video game mascots.
Dave PerrySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And what have you got to ask me?
Cliff FosterHOST
On Sonic the Hedgehog, I heard there's a secret world on act three of the Green Hill Zone.
Cliff FosterHOST
Could you please tell me where it is? I can't find it anywhere.
Dave PerrySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Indeed I can, dear boy, though I must admit to being a little surprised that you haven't found it yet.
Mercury CDXGUEST
But it was never like...
Mercury CDXGUEST
It was never like in the West where Sonic the Hedgehog became such a big deal that it got like two cartoons and like a bunch of merchandise and all that.
Mercury CDXGUEST
No, Virtual Fighter in Japan was that for Japan.
GooeyHOST
That's interesting.
37 MINS LATER
Mercury CDXGUEST
I don't know if that one ever got released outside.
Mercury CDXGUEST
I know they had a weird PlayChoice 10 alternative that was similar, but the Mega Play was like, we took the Mega Drive and then we made some arcade games.
Mercury CDXGUEST
The Sonic the Hedgehog 1 port of that is interesting mostly because they really turned it into an arcade game.
Mercury CDXGUEST
They stripped out a couple of the stages that were slower and got rid of one ups and then like made the timer like way more strict.
Sean AnthonyGUEST
You could do the tricks.
RosskoHOST
It is argued that Sonic 2 is a better game than Sonic 1.
RosskoHOST
I think they're probably right.
Sean AnthonyGUEST
I think they had more of a grip on story.
BernardHOST
But those special stages aren't that great.
BernardHOST
And also Sonic 2 is worse than Sonic 1, Sonic 3, Sonic Knuckles, and Sonic Mania.
SamHOST
Yeah.
SamHOST
It's got really good music, though.
BurnardHOST
Well, in particular, Sonic almost died.
BurnardHOST
So the boss of Sonic, Sonic Team or whatever, I cannot read that with this mask on, um, Takashi Izuku says that the first Sonic the Hedgehog movie actually saved the franchise.
BurnardHOST
He said that the higher up, higher ups at Sega wanted to cancel the entire franchise.
BurnardHOST
He fought to keep it going, and that the film's success definitely changed the course of the franchise.
