Sonic the Hedgehog
The console: Sega MegaDrive
Back in the 1980s the idea of a blue hedgehog whipping around a world ruled over by a mad professor seemed like crazy talk. Then Sega took the world by storm with their mighty mammal.
Not only was Sonic the star of one of the greatest platform games ever made, making the MegaDrive an essential buy but he was soon all over clothing, toys and television.
