Welcome to the Pining For Pixels podcast! This is my video game variety show podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a subject or theme that interests me, and I will speak about what is on my mind in the world of video games!

The next entry in the top 100 games of all time is Sonic the Hedgehog! That's right, the original game that started it all, the 1991 Sega Genesis classic. This game was the start of Sega's most successful run with the Sega Genesis which ended up giving Nintendo a run for their money this time around. For good reason too, as Sonic has endured to this day as both a character and the original game is cemented as an important and iconic classic in the annals of video game history. If there were ever a Mount Rushmore of video games, Sonic would definitely be on it right next to Mario, and it's all thanks to this excellent first entry in the series. Tune in to hear me wax nostalgic about my first experiences with Sonic as a Nintendo devotee and the nefarious way in which I secured a Sega Genesis to have this game!
