Video Game Ad of the Day: Sonic the Hedgehog
by Matt Keller on Jun.23, 2011, under Video Game Ad of the Day
Today marks 20 years since Sonic the Hedgehog was released.

This ad comes from the UK – if you look closely, you will see that Sega distribution was still being handled by Virgin Mastertronic at this time.
