Gaming At The Speed of Light

Runtime: 86 Minutes

We celebrate Sonic's 30th Anniversary by looking back at where it all started with Sonic the Hedgehog, released on June 23rd, 1991. We talk about Sonic's origins, and the first game he appeared in (Note: Its not what you think!). Finally, we spend some debating which video game characters are faster or slower than Sonic. Join us as we take a supersonic trip down Memory Card Lane.
