When Sega first came on the market there was Sonic the Hedgehog and his side kick Tails. These 2 Electronic pals were all the rage and just about everyone asked for a Sega Genesis Machine. If you have missed those fun days and nights of playing Sonic, then you are in luck. The time has come again to play with Sonic and Tail.

There are several websites that have brought Sonic and Tails back, by providing free Sonic games online. These games are available in a Flash version. They are played just like when they were on the Sega Genesis. Once such site is called Sonic Games247 and the site is packed with different Sonic games. There are games similar to the ones that were available on the Sega system.http://www.sonicgames247.com/sonic/27/Sonic.html

This website has so many variations of the Sonic game it even adds in pac-man and other Sonic adventure games. This is not an official Sega site. There are games like Sonic in the Forest and Sonic Trip. There is also an option to play Tails in these games.

At yet another site the player is able to play a game called Sonic in the Garden.http://www.pcgame4fun.com/ The graphics on all of these games are very good and the controlling of the character is very easy. On this page the player will find many opportunities to try playing Sonic the Hedgehog in many different settings.

Once you have located the games that you want to play then you will find that the controls are very simple. Maneuvering Sonic or Tails will be simply a matter of using the directional keys on the keyboard to send him in the correct direction, and making use of the space bar for the character to jump.http://www.playfreesonicgames.com/

There will be high jumps that he will need to make, in order to get the rings. The object of the game will be to have Sonic or Tails race through the map collecting rings. While running in the game, the player will attempt to avoid the fireballs and the bodies of creatures that walk and fly through the land. If they are hit by any creature or their weapon, their rings that they have collected will spill out and they will be able to be killed with one hit at that point. Run them through the level and it will be time to move up to the next level. The game will continue to bring you to different maps with different challenges all along the way.
