For a game that came out over 30 years ago, I still have such vivid memories of obsessively playing the first Sonic the Hedgehog on my mom's tiny TV for hours. As a huge fan of platformers, the style and freshness of the game seemed like it was on another level compared to most of what came before.

I've done a few covers of Sonic music throughout the years but it's certainly been a while since the last one - and it was time to change that!

I've always loved how this song sounded slightly dark and mysterious but also upbeat and perfectly at home in the lively Sonic universe. It truly is a perfect second level theme, and holds up to this day.

In this video it was also fun to go into some more of my gaming history and into my memories of shopping for games as a kid. Although I buy almost everything digitally these days, I do miss the days of browsing aisles for games and getting a physical box and unwrapping it excitedly on the way home from the store.

It feels like such a moment lost in time, so I wanted to convey some of those times and memories in these videos.

Enjoy!
