In the playground, my friends and I would “play” as Sonic, Tails and Knuckles and some form of Sonic or other was what we’d play when visiting each other’s houses the vast majority of the time.īut then, after what felt like a lifetime of Sonic always being there, part of the established canon of my life, one day he was just… not there any more.īy the turn of the new Millennium, the DiC Sonic cartoons had wrapped up forever our local newsagents had gone out of business and taken my access to Sonic the Comic with them, and moving on to our different secondary schools had taken my friends and myself in different directions.
For most of the 90s, the rest of my media consumption was weighted heavily by a variety of Sonic cartoons on TV and the UK’s fantastic Sonic the Comic. When we got a Mega Drive with Sonic 2, my little brother was just the right age to join in and play as Tails, and we played it a lot. Sonic was my first-ever video game, built-in to my first-ever video game console.
