Fast Memories Part 6: 2001 & 2002 Only 2 years into it's existance in the western world and the Dreamcast bids a sad farewell. Not before one last outing with the sequel to 1999's Sonic Adventure in the very quick paced Sonic Adventure 2 with the debuts of Rouge the Bat & the mysterious Shadow the Hedgehog whom has been a fan favourite since appearing in this game.

Fast Memories Part 5: 1999Oh boy! Did things change in a big way at this turn of the century?!
The world was going through changes in not only preparations for a new age, but also changes in technology in terms of evolution with regards to the Internet and how new tech was coming that would shape our way of entertainment enjoyment. And 1999 was a great year for our boy when he debuted on the Dreamcast on 9.9.1999 in what is considered to be one of the best Sonic games to date. Fast Memories Part 4: 1994 We've now reached that point in time where things begin to up the ante with the addition of Knuckles the Echidna whom, if we're being honest, really should be handled with more respect in regards to how his character is in Sonic Boom.
Here in Sonic 3 & Sonic & Knuckles, he is actually seen as a formiddable foe for Sonic and someone to be taken seriously. Fast Memories Part 3: 1993Love Sonic Games? check! Love cartoons? check!
This year was something that longtime tend to treasure a lot due to the fact that Sonic had at last been given a voice in the form of Family Matters' Jaleel White who played Erkel. That and the debut of Sonic CD is something that people have not forgotten either. Fast Memories Part 2: 1992 We've reached what many argue as one of the best Sonic games ever which is also the highest selling title in the franchise's history to date at over 6 million copies. That's more than the likes of Sonic Unleashed, Sonic Adventure and Sonic Heroes.
There's food for thought. Fast Memories Part 1: Introduction & 1991 It's hard to think that it's been 5 years removed from the last major celebration of the Hedgehog with attitude's career in which we were thrilled and amazed he had reached his 20th year in existence. So imagine my elation in realising he has now made it to his silver anniversary.
Only Mario & Donkey Kong have been around longer than him. I am hoping to upload at each part each day so that the last is done in time for his 25th on June 23 this year. The clock is ticking. |
