Brilliant. Sometimes we wonder why we even spend a single dime on games. This piece of freeware came out of left field and slammed me in the face, knocking about two hours of productivity into a balck hole of glee and wonder. The original Sonic game is available at this link, in all its Flash glory. Sure, it runs a little slow. Sure, it's not an exact port. But it's a blast. If you have some free time over lunch to play, give it a shot. Just be sure you set a timer or something. Just in case you get as determined as I did. Oh yeah, and the reason why we spend money on games? I found the answer. So we can port them for free on the Internet, after fifteen years have passed.
