This game is truly fantastic

Memes aside, damn impressive for the Master System, They really didn't need to put a Sonic game on this platform, yet they did, and the result is a very simple yet extremely charming platformer. Definitely worth a try if you haven't played it yet.

Los Sonic The Hedgehog de Master System son versiones muy curiosas, aún más difíciles y en ocasiones injustas en comparación a los originales. Pero la pasé muy bien jugandolos
Played the fan made remake/port. It's ok, its not as good as the Genesis one, but some of the zones are cool, like Bridge Zone
Pretty decent soundtrack! The rendition of Green Hill in this is pretty good, and bridge hill is also a certified bop. The rest of the soundtrack is pretty fun too, and honestly is something I like more overall than the 16 bit version.
maybe its the yuji naka's brain implant but i kinda enjoyed this one
Para mi se mantiene disfrutable, pretendo pasarme algunos memorables de la saga porque tengo mono de Sonic jaja. Nunca me lo pasé originalmente aunque jugué bastante, nunca es tarde.
Why do they never rerelease the master system version?
Watered down Sonic 1 that runs like crap on the Game Gear. Some neat ideas, but hardware limitations are stopped it from being a good game.
At first I thought it was an 8-bit port of the first game, but I was completely wrong
There was some bad ideas thrown in there, like an auto-scroller level (the idea itself isn't that bad, the problem is that it is on a Sonic game), but it still had some good ones like special stages being just bonus and to get the emeralds you search the stage
I don't get exactly the debate of which Sonic 1 is better, but I can confirm that neither one is bad
That being said, DON'T PLAY THE GAME GEAR VERSION

anyone who says this version is better than the "real" sonic 1 is tripping hard. constant slowdown, really poor collision detection, auto-scrollers, you really have everything that makes a frustrating and bad platformer here. why they decided to bring back labyrinth zone as one of the 3 returning zones from the genesis game is anyone's guess
Meh.
Cool game, love the little environmental story going on in level progression.
I remember finishing this as a kid feeling monumental. It’s still cool to finish now.

El juego no es muy entretenido, realmente lo único bueno es que las esmeraldas se encuetran por el mapa. Pero realmente es malo hasta en rendimiento
Extra: La versión que jugué es la de Sonic Origins Plus. La cual está en HD.
Juego al 100%.

Achei que era a versão principal, mas como joguei essa também, coloquei.

Versión ultra resumida del primer sonic, ta bien a secas
I mean i give sega credit for what they tried to do but it just looked like an unpolish mess and that is saying something because Sonic is Sega coveted child. Tho the boss fights were fun.
I think I need to stop playing Sonic games because as someone who likes this more than the original Sonic the Hedgehog and whose favorite Sonic game is Sonic R, I keep having bad opinions.
NGL I kinda prefer this over the Mega Drive version.
It's okay. Probably better than the genesis sonic 1 tho
Really cool sonic game, the game controls amazingly and great ost as usual. The game is pretty difficult though.
Kinda prefer this over the mega drive version.

He looks so nefarious on the game cover.

Honestly, I really dig 8-bit Sonic. It's definitely way more traditional against the trail-blazing genesis version, but I think something like this works way more for these 8-bit consoles.
I really enjoyed exploring to look for the emeralds. While I might have preferred a good special stage to find them, I enjoyed learning where they all were.
I wish certain levels actually gave you rings. I think bosses not giving you rings is the biggest flaw this game has, because you have to do it all in one shot. I ended up losing a lot of lives getting used to the bosses since I've never gone through the entirety of the Master System version before (I mainly played the Game Gear edition). I especially lost a lot of lives on Sky Base 2. Truly awful level.
The game definitely pales in comparison to its genesis version, and a lot of the blemishes here are revealed through comparison. I think they are pretty close to equals in terms of quality, but the genesis version is still clearly better.
7/10

The first time I’ve played this version of Sonic the Hedgehog, and it really isn’t that bad. It plays faster than I was expecting for a simplified port. The smaller view isn’t ideal, and rings don’t seem as important as long as you have one. The special stages are cool but don’t serve much point, while emeralds are hidden in the levels.
This isn’t just a port of the original 16-bit version, though, it has different level design and some completely different stages (although with fairly dull names like Bridge and Jungle). They’re not as complex in terms of loops, although Scrap Brain Zone is a bit of a maze. Music is very cheery and is done well on the 8-bit platform, although Scrap Brain Zone just sounds a bit off.
I thought it was an entertaining game, even if it’s nothing special. It’s an interesting look at an alternate take of the original Sonic, and I think it’s worth playing at least once.

Not as bad as I was expecting, the game itself is pretty easy and simple, with the only hard part being the slowdown killing me more than any enemies. Also auto-scrolling in a Sonic game is a weird idea to implement in a game about speed, but since Sonic would go off-screen if you go too fast it makes sense.
The physics are odd if you're used to the MegaDrive games but the 8-bit version of Sonic the Hedgehog is surprisingly good. The more platforming focused levels made for the weaker hardware are surprisingly fun and the game while more challenging than it's 16-bit counterpart has a mostly steady difficulty curve. That said the water physics in Labyrinth Zone feel pretty bad and really hurt the game for a few levels, and putting an autoscroller in a Sonic game for Bridge Zone Act 2 was a crime. The 8-bit soundtrack is fun and bouncy.
