From the wiki:
Sonic the Hedgehog (ソニック・ザ・ヘッジホッグ Sonikku za hejjihoggu?) is a platform video game developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. Featuring the new mascot of Sega, the titular Sonic the Hedgehog, this game served as the launch title for the famous video game franchise known as the Sonic the Hedgehog series.
The game was originally released for the Sega Genesis in North America and Europe on June 23rd, 1991, with a Japanese Mega Drive release following 3 days afterwards on June 26th. Advertising it's fast gameplay based around Sonic's extraordinary speed, the concept of a high-speed platform game was unique for its time, and solidified the style of gameplay the series would be best known for. Due to the Mega Drive's Motorola 68000 processor, the power of the console would allow for faster gameplay, dubbed by some as "blast processing", and impressive 16-bit graphics, making it much more powerful than Sega's previous Master System.
The game was well praised by critics and was a massive commercial success, which gave the Genesis, and by extent Sega, a massive boost in popularity, enough so that Sega could directly compete with Nintendo, who soon followed up with the release of their Super Nintendo Entertainment System in what would be the first counterattack in a long company rivalry that lasted throughout the 90s. In recent years, the game has been ported numerous times on many other consoles, with some ports adding newer features to the original game
