What made you a sonic fan?

[fromchmm]

Friend got me interested, now it's nostalgia

[overlander]

I got hooked on my first sonic game: Sonic Adventure DX and the rest is history

[MarioMover]

An odd combination of things for me.
The first was an ad for Sonic X re-runs on Nickelodeon.
Around that time I saw the ad, I was obsessed with retro gaming and emulation. I had only heard of Sonic the Hedgehog in 'The Ultimate History of Video Games' by Steven Kent. (Great read, by the way.) I downloaded a ROM and Kega Fusion, tried it, didn't think much of it, but I enjoyed it.
Then, I saw Cobanermani456's let's play of Sonic Generations. I fell in love with the game from that video, pushing me to play all of the other Sonic games I could. As I played them, I grew quite fond of them.
And that leads me to today, where the Sonic franchise is my favorite and Sonic Generations PC stands as my favorite game of all time.

A Topic like this probably already exists, but i'm asking again.

Sonic Heroes and Sonic x did the thing!

It was after i moved with my family to another State, i was 6 years old. On of my new friends at the new school had a Mega Drive with Sonic 1 on a 10 in 1 cartridge, and Sonic 2, so i used to play these games at his house. The son of one of my mom's friend had a Master System with Sonic the Hedgehog, which i mostly played since i got my own SMS some years later. I remember watching Sonic SATam and Sonic Underground on TV and recording it on VHS. Sonic 3, Sonic & Knuckles and Sonic 3D Blast i discovered through one of my cousins, he had a Mega Drive emulator with tons of ROMs, but it played without sound.
