Sonic the Hedgehog is 18 today

Sonic the Hedgehog

Is it really that long? Yes, Sonic the Hedgehog is 18 years old today. Sega's hedgehog mascot first arrived on a games console on this day in 1991. Some of you may have been too busy shoegazing or watching Fresh Prince or heck, going to primary school, to notice at the time but little did we know how big Sonic was going to be. Yes, his latest games may be a little, well, rubbish, but you can't knock the early games, especially Sonic 2. Anyway, seeing as it his special day and all that, what are your favourite Sonic memories?
