I didn't include the PC ports because:
-Sonic 2 is the same except for a slight variation in sound effects and music, and a few glitches.
-Sonic CD is the same except for the menu, lesser quality animation, it only plays one music track per level, slightly different sounds, Sonic has different voice when he leaves after 3 minutes, Amy makes a sound in Stardust act3, and "You are greatest player" always comes up on the good ending.
-Sonic 3&K is the same except for the music (some completely different), and the timing of ending music is off.

I didn't include Sega Superstars, Christmas Nights, or Sonic Cafe because those aren't Sonic games. Really, there comes a point where you have to draw a line between Sonic games and games with Sonic's face on them. And yet I did include Wackey Worlds, but that's a rom and you have no excuse for not downloading it, looking at it, and claiming you've played it. Same for Mean Bean Machine.

I included the Tiger handhelds because few people even know they exist. I'm curious as to what ones you guys have.

My count is 58, which is probably more than Naka. The ones with x's next to them are the one's I've beaten. I've played Sonic Arcade, but haven't beaten it because it's not fully emulated yet.

I've played most of those but only for a few minutes. The only ones I took seriously were "the Hedghog" series, "Adventure" series and CD.

I've played all the Genesis/Mega Drive games, plus the Adventures, Sonic Shuffle, Sonic CD (bought it 3 times at one point in my life), the underrated Sonic Heroes (*cue laughter from 90% of the forum members*), all the Game Gear games, and all the Game Boy Advance games except Sonic Pinball Party. I never played the arcade, Saturn or PC games.

Let's see...

That makes 33. BTW you left out Sonic Blast/G Sonic for GameGear.

What about those old Sonic Pocket things that were sorta like Tiger games. I had one of those for awhile, it was retarded.

I had almost all those Tiger electronic games (Sonic the Hedgehog 1-3, S&K, Spinball, 3D Blast).

The only ones I cared about playing is Sonic 1-3/Sonic and Knuckles and the first Sonic Adventure. Anything else was either crap or I haven't played yet.

Couldn't that be said about anything you haven't played?

...that's weird. Really, really weird. I must've slipped with the cursor one day and deleted it from my list. Ok then, I've played 59.

You keep a list?

Well since this topic is up anyway, I'll just add my list of Sonic games I've played.

In my eyes, the cream of the crop was what Neo Yi and chriscaffee more or less said, Sonic 1-3&K, CD, and the Sonic Adventure series. I shall eventually will myself to play the good GG Sonic games, Pocket Adventure, Battle and Shuffle (I really must see for myself if it is as bad as everybody says, but considering its Mario Party roots, I'm inclined to agree it is).

Really, for a topic like this, being the forum it is, I'd say it's faster to list which games we haven't played.

For me, that would be Sonic Patrol Car and whatever that off-shoot was (Cosmic whatever? It was like Patrol Car, I thought). 'Sides those two very rare arcade games, I've played every Sonic game I consciously know about.

Unless you count, like, those obscure UFO Catcher/Pachinko/Whatever machines.

Yeah, about a year and a half ago I decided to play every Sonic game ever, and since there's more than I can remember I wrote them in a notepad to make sure I didn't miss any.

Ah, I do that for games I want to buy.

And what Neo, chris, and DC said about Sonic 1-3K, CD, and the Adventures(well, maybe only the 1st Adventure) being the only games I really care about.

ROMs or the real stuff?

Some of both. If a rom existed, I got it. But for the obscure things like Pico, Tiger game.com, PC games, and Saturn (which has no decent emulator yet), I turned to ebay. I own all the genesis games except wacky worlds and compilation, and a few gamegear games.

wacky worlds

I bought that. And then I died inside.

I had a lot of fun with Wacky Worlds as a kid, actually.

I died inside because you couldn't have Sonic in your Wacky World. Not because I didn't enjoy it.

And Sonic time attacked, the best Sonic fan game ever made!

I thought I was the only one who actually played that. And yes I have to agree, as it was unarguably the only Sonic fangame I've played that has stellular and interesting level designs, and a physics engine that adequately resembled those of the real games. The majority of other Sonic fangames either fault in one or the other.

I had a ton of fun with Wacky Worlds. I still have the game and mouse with mousepad. My sister still wants to play it everytime I hook up my Genesis for something.

Here's my list, but I own alot more than what I have played.
