Happy Birthday Sonic!

Today marks the 15th birthday of everybody’s favourite blue hedgehog, Sonic!

Although his more recent games haven’t been so great, the original Sonic games still stand out because of their speed, appearance and general “pick up and play” style gameplay. He’s spawned countless games, TV shows and plenty of merchandise too. He’s even had a gene named after him!

Happy birthday, you spikey ball of fun!
