Ruddy ' eck. To think that towards the latter end of the 90' s the little blue fellow was looking on his last legs not his latest game has sold a million copies in Europe alone.

After Sonic & Knuckles things went a little pear shaped on the Sonic front. The last Megadrive/Genasis Sonic game was Sonic 3D and while entertaining enough it wasn' t really much good. The Saturn came around and Sonic Xtreme was killed off before it was even released. Looking back, that was probably a good thing as the game was looking rubbish.

Sonic Jam and Sonic R were released reminding us the blue one was still there somewhere. It took the launch of a new Sega console to give Sonic and friends a proper new Adventure. As good as the Dreamcast Sonic Adventure' s were only a limited number of people got to play them. The death of the Dreamcast came and things were looking uncertain. Was Sonic doomed?

From the ashes Sega rose with their mascot. Making games for all consoles now Sega decided to stick their fingers in as many pies as they could and started making a multi format Sonic game. During its creation the Sonic Adventure' s were brought to Gamecube and PC and a cartoon was being made in Japan. Enter Sonic Heroes and after a lot of hard work Sonic is now about as popular as he was in the Megadrive hay-day.

Introduced to new fans and still keeping some old fans interested Sonic fans the world over await the next game.
