What is Digg?45 Comments
- PicklePower, on 10/12/2007, -1/+45Yeah, this is not the original Sonic the Hedgehog game. It's based off of Sonic Advance 2 for the GBA with themes and music from current and past Sonic games. The physics are really bad in this remake, though. They're nothing like the original games. It takes way too long for Sonic to accelerate.
- fr33dan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+33The game is actually a remake with different levels. It's still fun but some people would like the difference pointed out
- elpottsy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12Seriously dude this is old, flash games are old, a full archive of all the megadrive games can be found here:

They run in java so you can play them at work! .,^_^,. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9595313131313131
This is the last password that unlocks everything. I've played this game before. Figure I'd share it if you want it. - xose, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Closer to the original game for the Genesis, but only the first level:

i've been looking for a new flash game to occupy down time at work. - Dalroth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4That is definitely closer to the original, however, Sonic's lack of momentum is entirely disturbing and makes this one even harder to play than the linked article.
Close, but no cigar. - TheWalkingDude, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7Here's a look back at 15 years of Sonic Games:

- Dracker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Physics could be better. Sonic physics are notoriously a little hard to get right, but in this game you accelerate and brake way too slowly. It's like driving in the rain.
Some mechanics are off we well. In the original games, non-boss enemies off screen can't shoot. So when you spindash in the very beginning of this flash game you could die to the enemy in the tree. Not so in the original.
And I have Sonic Advance 2 anyway. Digg for the decent game and the effort, but I question the legality of using copyrighted characters and scenario and a lot of level information .... - cody50, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Is sonic dressed in emo?
- sillywampa, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Ironically, today I am wearing my vintage Sonic the Hedgehog T-shirt.
- xXShadowstormXx, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3This makes me want to start up my Genesis.
- dsans, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Well it's not actually stealing since Paul Neave freely distributed his games on his website. Furthermore, you could say the same thing about the Flash game authors who took sprites, trademarks, etc. from commercial games.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2this isn't the original. it's a pretty good flash remake.
- chuckayoub, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The link is broken on the original:
http://www.maniacworld.com/sonic.html - Dracker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2For any article, go to your URL on the comments page and change "digg.com" to "www.duggmirror.com" to go to the mirrored article.
In this case, the mirror is at http://www.duggmirror.com/playable_web_games/Sonic_the_Hedgehog_2/ - bairy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2That's a fantastic site for genesis games. Thanks!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2That's not the same thing though, those are run in a java emulator.
These are pure flash.
Still, a pretty neat find, now i'll have even more ways to waste some time. - Leonichol, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Sonic 3 me thinks :-)
- TheRunes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You are right about the physics. You can't deny that it's pretty cool.
- NJShadow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Dude, seriously, this game is on almost every site that has ANY flash content. It's everywhere.
- frednofr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2If this wasn't so cool, I would have buried it as "inaccurate", since it isn't the original sonic.
- iupetre, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wow! that one was the original level!..... that really brings me back.
- Grimdotdotdot, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4There are many, many differences between this and Sonic 1 - the levels, music, character choice, spin-dash moves...
- ratbear, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Pretty cool. There is something funky with the level design though. Sonic games made by Sega would never have you spin dash blindly right into spikes.
- KathyAlbrecht, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1whats the dugg mirror link for this site, i wanna see if i can view it that way, to get around my work filters

- geneshifter, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I wish the DS had better emulators and I could run games like this on that sweet machine.
- danthorpe2002, on 07/03/2009, -0/+0http://mostplays.com/sonic_games
- JonForTheWin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Kick ass.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0that was more like AN original level, not THE. Still fun.
- nickbarreto, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0yeah, this is not so good. and how can it be the original Sonic? Knuckles only came along way later in the series anyways...
- njbair, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I thought this was already on digg once. Still fun! What Sonic game is that first level's music from? It sounds familiar but I can't place it.
- PacoDG, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Cool... but sooooo slow. The thing about Sonic is the speed. This does not have it :(
- Atomic1fire, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1is that the menace.ch verson menace games are fun (flash kirby ultimate flash sonic) but the fun dies i wonder when that site will work tho (menace.ch)
- Sogan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is awesome!!! I used to play this on my old school Sega. Brings back a hell lot of memeories
- yaknowit, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1wicked. thx
- hedde, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Cool.
Entirely in Flash. This must have taken it's share amount to code.
Really makes me want to stay at home today and get lost in old nostalgic video games.

- AerodynamicHair, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0A bunch of the games on this site are stolen from other sites. I've actually seen this Sonic game on Newgrounds (don't judge me) and many of the other games are from Neave (Neave.com)
It ain't cool to steal. - Beaver6813, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1Erm this game has been around for ages now...
- geneshifter, on 10/12/2007, -15/+0If you think this is great, you should check it out on the PSP using an NES emulator. The acceleration, controls all are perfect. You just need a firmware 1.5 PSP to run it.
